That all said...Saturday the 5th of April is Rochester Red Wing's opening day. I must go! Must get tickets, get a driver, then get people! That should be fun...

Also...I went running Monday, and forgot to stretch afterwards...AND MY QUADS STILL HURT A LOT! It sucks feeling pain whenever you sit down/get up. Oh well, off to other stuff...later.

::Disgruntled Grunt::

I'm sick, no bitching about anythign else for today. Must make it to end of CS3 lab alive...must remember maps...head hurting...room getting cold...coat already on....sigh. ::thud::

THUNDER PLAINS LOSE!

222 Bolts dodged! At last!

Well Fuck (UPDATED MONDAY)

And one for the Bush quote book... "I was the guy that said they ought to vote," he said, "and one country voted - showed their cards, I believe - it's an old Texas expression."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's Monday, and "The US, UK, and Spain" (aka: The Republicans) have decided to withdraw the vote on Iraq from the Security Council. If you haven't read the article above yet (from Sunday night), they're doing that because if there's a vote of "Hell no", us going into Iraq would break international law, but without that vote, it's "Ambiguous".

In short, I think Bush in completely right: Iraq is better off without a dictator. I just don't think he realizes he IS the next dictator of Iraq, and for the matter, the world if he goes in there, and if there's one thing that would make me at least think this invasion was legit, NORTH FUCKING KOREA HAS NUKES IN THE OPEN AND WE'RE DOING SQUAT ABOUT IT!

Now, I found this out while watching FOX News at lunch. What else went by on the ticker?

In short, I hope you enjoyed the last 12 or so years of "peace"...and God speed Seto!

w00t!

Defeated Ne'slug in FF10. Time of battle must've been at least an hour. WOO HOO! For my efforts...2 Pendulums? Bah! Why must Nemesis require this?! Sigh.

Nintendo Rocks, Reason #5473

Yesterday Ian gave my memory card back. I put it in my pocket, for lack of a better place to put it. Today I did my laundry. Afterwards, while remembering Time Splitters and Ian borrowing the card for that, and that it was in my pocket...well, it was about then that I realized my memory card was probably very clean now.

Well, a few hours later, after being washed and dried...it still works and still has all the old data! Whew...

Random Events

Friday....what happened to me?

Well, first I went to pick up my massive check for the money RIT DOESN'T GET cause I'm off campus and no longer in the dorms. As I was getting it though, I got a bad feeling, and asked the guy behind the desk how much money was on my meal plan. I called over the break to get it canceled, but figured I would ask anyway. "You're all debit meal plan has $1089 left on it." WHAAAAAAAA!?!?!? So then food services was promptly yelled at for my money. I don't think I got anythign back yet, and they claimed I wasn't being billed for it, but with all the bull shit campanies have pulled in the past with "we gave you money by accident, we want it back now," best to be safe.

After that, my first karate class. The guy says he's a 7th degree black belt (good). He talked a lot about random experiences in Japan...sounded like he had a lot of stereotypes driven into him but he was slowly overcoming them. Should be fun enough.

Tino's room for Perfect Dark! Always fun...I also got myself an entire sheet of cheeseless pizza! By the end of the evening it was gone, but sooo worth it. It wasn't NYC pizza, but it was decent enough, and better than Pappa John's. Hmm...you know, Pappa John's has always been good to me, but not in a pizza kind of way. Like, the crust was chewy sweetened bread, the sauce was too sweet too...so it was good in that it tasted sweet and chewy, but it wasn't good pizza. Heh.

Then Matt's room for D&D. He was still getting his stuff together, so I sat there and started writing down some stuff he asked everyone to write down in the past anyway. For readers of Shari's journal, this is where said phone call took place. Later, after our scheduled start time of 8 had come and gone, a bunch of us were chatting in Matt's room...when someone started thinking random refereces to the hobo joke were funny cause they involved hobos. HE WAS PROMPTLY EDUCATED. After that, we finally began (10pm).

40 minutes: George walking in trying to talk Pat and Steve into going to parties.
15 mintues: bathroom (oh well)
30 minutes: silly arguments
2 hours: 1 combat...faster than last times 3 hours
half hour: figuring out what to do with Tom's character, since Tom was no longer playing. We had him jump down a tunnel where we saw undead and just die :).

Decent fun...I did get to cast SUMMON LION and have the lion do my dirty work while I myself did almost nothing. If you want more details you'll have to ask. Well, I got back around 4, and now I've woken up at 9:30, sun shined right in my eyes in the mornings I guess. The plan for tonight....MEATLOAF NIGHT! I'll tell you how it goes....later!

AIM Express Has Updated

Return To Normalcy?

The past few days, I've been eating a lot. More than I have been in a while. It's nice to be hungry again mentally, as opposed to just having physical pain induced by a body in need of energy. Having a kitchen probably helped it along...I think I like cooking a lot. At least for when there's nothing else to be done. Besides, food that's better than campus food is always welcome in me. The other side of the whole thing is no/much less depression. I mean, I haven't eaten much since last May or so, and I don't know why it's been that long, and I'm not going to even start to think about it more than that. All I know is I think I'm me again on some level.

In other news, I think tonight will be pasta, tomorrow pizza, and Saturday meatloaf. That frozen beef in the freezer has to go somewhere. Oh well, later!

And So I Am Without Women

Yes...I am alone with men...as I have no female teachers this quarter...unless Karate's taught by one, ask Friday.

I have 2 good ( archery, Middle Eastern Politics ), 2 ok ( COmp Org and C for C++), and 2 dull I wanna kill myself (Chem and Probability). Othewise, things are ok...I've taken to cooking in the appartmen, it's good stuff. Tomorrow I've GOT to get the meatloaf going, after the great success of sausages tonight. And let's not even start thinking about th emadness of Friday yet ;).

Saturday...

Went ok. Never got to do the one thing I wanted though (and no, it didn't involve going back on something I said)...ended the night in the privacy of my own room rather shamelessly...I'm not entirely sure that's worn off yet.

And to the one person who thinks I hold anger against them: I DON'T!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, I made the NY Times' pizza dough today (Thursday), using pasta sauce and meatballs from last night. I thought it definitely needs work, meaning less flour/more water next time. On the other hand, I'm told by higher powers (meaning my mom) that it's very good considering it's my first try. It's a shame Mike Steve and Dave are gonna have to suffer through this.

I'm gonna finish the last two slices and continue watching TV. Later.

Snore

I had this typed up before....then this computer froze, so here's the short version.

Today was so dull ESPN had nothing but bowling and chess on this afternoon. You know it's a slow day when that happens.

Apparently North Korea has the bomb, or a lot of people are assuming they do. Either way, I say screw Iraq, at least they're trying to look like they're not doing anything wrong on the surface. North Korea is all but openly saying "We're getting nukes now," and we're not doing anything about it! BAH!

Another interesting note...the Senete was arguing about a treaty today to make get rid of "actively deployed" nukes, but not destroy them (with the Russians). This is good, although everyone there made a good point with the whole "So what will you do with these not deployed nukes?" That, and that bill that lets animals fed non-organic grain be labeled organic, makes this country seem a little worse.
