Ugh. What a long month. I've been taking Spanish 202 for a summer session just to get it out of the way. It is less than a hassle than a taking normal class would have been, but man it is still time consuming.
Heads up! On sunday night NASA is going to slam a probe into a comet, and it should be visable to people on the west coast with binoculars or telescopes. I'll have more info when its closer.
Morrowind is addictive and way too huge. I could be playing this one for quite a while....
Found an interesting language system that uses about 120 basic concepts to create just about any word or idea. I'll definately be 'borrowing' at least some of this for ZeroPlus:

Saw Bush's speech last night. Fairly effective. I'm not sure what would silence his critics. A timeline perhaps? Spelling out exactly what needs to happen in what order (minus dates) would quell some fears of being stuck forever in Iraq.

Moving sucks
Long story short(well, shorter at least): I learned on the 9th of this month that the guy who was buying my house changed his mind and decided not to let us live there. So me and my 2 roommates (one of whom had lived there for only 10 days) had less than a week to move.
Hillarity ensues.
So, I end up moving with one of my roommates to a condo (a rather nice one). I'm still unpacking (good heavens my house was full of miscelanous stuff). Aside from a mysterous maple syrup smell, this place is actually quite ideal for me.

Thunderbolts #9 Swordsman Theory
First off, the last issue was great! R-Man is exploding with potential, and is still by some definitions evil.
Anyway, on to Swordsman....
Okay, that stabbing was fake, either a SCREAM-type-I-only-look-like-I'm-hurt or a mindbending vision courtesy of PM's powers. After reading the issue, a question came into my mind: why the hell in issue #1 did Genis fly down, help the T-Bolts, and get knocked into orbit without reacting? It is all a setup. We know PM was behind part of it, I think he was behind all of it. Genis is the Swordsman! It works out so well! You've never seen the two in the same place at the same time!
Either that, or Atlas is the Swordsman, but thats just not as fun.

Good day to be a warriors fan
There are three, count 'em THREE, NW related comics today!
LAST HERO STANDING LS #2
Both Nova and Speedball make it to the recap page (Nova's on the cover), both are amoung MC2's assembled Avengers, one or both have speaking rolls, and their past membership as Warriors is brought up. With fewer and fewer hero's still standing I expect these two to get more screentime as the series wraps up (Next issue out next week!)
Gravity LS #1
Better than I expected, I must say. Powers not well defined, but are full of potential. I fully expect Black Death to be his roommate. Rage appearence had more oomph than I'm used to. I hope he makes another appearance. Even if not though, I'm buying the rest of the series.
New Warriors LS #1
It works! The art actually works for the story. I'm not totally sold on the whole premise of the series, although it does sorta fit the Warrior agenda. Kinda. I just hope this sells like hotcakes and we get our series back!

Time well spent
Well, instead of going to california theme parks this weekend, i pretty much stayed home and did nothing. Read that as: waste time on the computer. I discovered that the New Warriors LS is out in stores this Wednesday (YAY!), that there are way too many mods for Baldur's gate ( http://iegmc.mirror.intermedia.com.sg/ ), and that there are more mathematical symbols than I thought, which is going to make ZeroPlus more difficult (perhaps I need to prioritize).
Told you I had diverse interests.
Also, I'm having problems getting my Thief II game to work. I was screwing around with my burner to compile the instalation disc and play disc (and the massive TX2 mod) on one DVD, and now I can't get it to play at all. Finicky system.

Second Post! (note to self: need better titles)
I really should be doing homework for summerschool, but this seems less productive.
Now the second post is the vital one. If I start ranting about politics, people will write off the site as purely political. If I work out my frustrations with Wolverine joining the Avengers, I'll be pigeonholed as a comic geek blogger.
So, for purely selfish reasons, I'll post areas that need improvement in my life just as a way of recording them so I'll actually maybe work on them:
Buy and eat vegetables regularly
Record any and all dreams, visions, etc.
Schedule next semester, including new major (I'm dual majoring;)
Find a new job.
Dating would be nice.
Meditate! Work up a routine!
Work on that second degree black belt for Judo. Just a little more....
Get a working copy of ZeroPlus going ( custom language I'm working on)
There we go. Still not confortable posting the more personal stuff, but this is a good start.

First Post!
Right then. I've created my blog. Now I just need something insightful to say.
...
um...
...
Hmm... You know, its kind of funny. Fifty years from now, the internet will be absolutely enormous, because anything posted on it can't really be deleted. That is what it was designed for, before it went mainstream. So anything I post here will be available for viewing by posterity, for good or ill.
Perhaps a little background info is in order. I'm about a quarter of a century old, a senior in college, an agnostic (for lack of a better term), non-sexually active, mixed race, American, black belt, news junkie, marvel comics fan, sci-fi/fantasy geek, and spends most of my time reading on the internet or in real life (such as it is).
That said, welcome to my website. I'm not sure what sort of perverse plesure you get out of reading it, but by all means continue. Or not.
