And so it begins... again. Having officially ended my hiatus from gaming and also rekindled my interest in the game, I will be STing an Exalted game starting May 19th. This will be my first real use of the 2nd edition rules, my only other experience being an attempt to convert extremely high-powered PCs from a previous campaign. That didn't go ( Read more... )

Spring break week is upon me! Ah, the respite from classes, the road trips, the late nights... the full time job. Oops. The illusion of being back in college only extends so far. Still, the extra nights off give me a chance to make sure I'm prepared for the second exam next week, and it'll be nice to see Monica for more than just a couple hours ( Read more... )

Yes, it's that time, my first politically themed post on LJ. Hopefully this will be an exceptionally rare occurrence, given my distaste for politics in general. However, a topic that came up on the grabass morning show I listen to inspired me to vent at least a little. I expect my thoughts will piss off just about anyone who bothers to read them ( Read more... )

I received my exam back on Tuesday and scored 137 out of a possible 135 points. It turns out tests are a lot easier when you follow a three step program: 1) Go to class, 2) Read the textbook, and 3) Do the homework. I wish I'd known about this ten years ago. Anyway, I missed a couple small things and picked up the difference with interest on ( Read more... )

Well, my exam is over, I'll find out how I did possibly as soon as Tuesday. I feel pretty good about it, there was one problem I know I messed up but otherwise I didn't feel like I was lost at any point. Of course, I also have zero confidence in my academic abilities anymore or my judgment of how I did, so anxiety remains to some extent ( Read more... )

Well, barring some summer classes at community colleges that weren't exactly mentally taxing, I'll be taking my first serious college exam in six years tonight. I'm a little stressed about it since my history of exams in college is somewhat spotty, and that's being generous. Still, I've been doing the homework, studying, haven't skipped a class, ( Read more... )

Well, a friend of mine posted his list of comics-to-film in order of quality, so I'm being a proper lemming and doing likewise. Starting from what I consider the highest quality films and moving down to the worst ( Read more... )

Formal announcement time ( Read more... )

I am also an extremely tired nerd. I haven't stayed up until 3 AM in a long time, but I was up that late last night. For those who might not be aware, yesterday night was the launch of Windows Vista and I joined about a hundred other people at a Best Buy launch party. There was a tailgate-style grill going and everything. It was actually a good ( Read more... )

Okay, so I've had some pretty weird dreams. But I don't get this one at all. Last night, I dreamt I was at a tennis match watching Roger Federer beating some nobody, and there may have been some kind of metaphysical doomsday hanging on the outcome. It was somewhat unclear. Also, the game appeared to be in WiiSports graphics instead of real ( Read more... )
