Finally, done with that wretched class. I'm fairly confident about the outcome, a passing grade. Although if I didn't get at least a 70% I may find myself taking the class again. *sighs* I suppose I'll know come Monday.
Ok, I'm a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons, the pen and paper type. In the past year or so, they actually produced an online D&D game called, strangely enough, Dungeons & Dragons Online. Now here's the kicker. I bought the game with high hopes, but had to cancel my subscription because I did not have enough time to play the game in groups. The game was designed with teams in mind and you pretty much had to have a team to get beyond the first couple levels. Playing in groups involves a lot more time and effort than I can spare for any game, no matter how fun. So what do they do, after I've cancelled? They introduce solo play!
So. I seem to have a problem when it comes to doing what I should in order to better myself. For reasons unexplained, my mind can rationalize playing video games instead of studying for a statistics final for which I am ill prepared. Anyway, the game is called EVE Online. The best way for me to describe it is a power hungry space opera. Beautiful graphics and audio. I did, however, get completely blasted on my first real mission. I don't have time to try again tonight. The above picture is a screenshot from the tutorial. Check it out if you get a chance. Oh, and I promise to stop posting before 0600. I'm definitely not functioning well that early.
While not necessarily a good idea, I find myself logging in to EBay every six months or so. Inevitably, I buy something. In this instance, I found some collectible cards for the game Magic The Gathering. A game I used to play four years ago! What am I really going to do with these things, except entomb them with the rest of my collection. I'm not really sure.
For unexplicable reasons, my other watch stopped functioning. So I purchased a new one. It seems I have a penchant for things big and shiny. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Fossil watches. Ya'll should check em out.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad my vacation is over. Refreshed of spirit, but tired none the less. I am not one for travel and prefer my breaks spent sleeping late and eating later. Next vacation, not a soul will know until it's over. No obligations and no travelling, just some quality reading time. I think I ate a bad sandwich yesterday, my body is making its discomfiture known.
A simple temporal paradox, I take a week of vacation yet only account a 4 day trip. Travelling non-rev is enough to cause a permanent backside twitch, but Fortune walked with me this time around. Didn't get booted, and only slightly stressed. The trip from Seattle to Phoenix as the low point of my fly-time. Last row, middle seat. Could this permutation be any less desirable. A flight is a flight, and on time is welcome. I've posted some pictures of the experience, perhaps they will help explain. The young one is my newly minted nephew, the other pictures are of Ketchikan or Thorne Bay, Alaska. It is late, and I for one, am for bed.
This is what happens when computer nerds get bored. I found a "Comic Art Effect Tutorial" at MacMerc.com. It looks pretty good, although remember to use a fairly high resolution image. All the ones I used had been resized for the web, and didn't have as much detail as they could have. Anyway, if you have Photoshop, you should check it out.
What is a z-number again? I guarantee I'll forget 5 minutes after I take the final for this class. Ahem... Statistics, the diametric opposite of Happy Hour.
Strange what you think about in the shower. I'd rather be sleeping, dreaming thunderstorm dreams and dusty thoughts. Lead weights burden my retinas, rolling my eyes out of view. I'd rather not be working, but the paycheck has gotta show somehow.
