Now, the real fun begins....

...I should be able to post more regularly to this website (hopefully daily) now that school has begun. That is, of course, if I finish scheduling my classes. One of the classes I was supposed to take just happens to be on a different campus. Wish I'd noticed that when I signed up for it. So, I've got to replace it with something quick, because I need to take 18 credit-hours this and next semester or I don't graduate in May.

But other than that, my life has been relatively stress free. I worked my last day at the shipping company friday the week before last. Work was way too far from my new place, required me to get up at 3 in the morning, and probibly wasn't the healthiest for me either. Now I can sleep in. Yay!

That weekend I took a trip south to see most of my old friends. They seemed to have split up into many circles in my absense. All seemed to be doing quite well. Didn't get to see everybody though. Ah well, its probibly for the best.

Next I took a trip to Vegas to see even more friends. That was fun too. I ordered a borg sphere at quarks bar (10 oz of who knows what) and saw the Borg 4D experience. And I astounded my friends one morning when I had 5 plates of food at a breakfast buffet. Didn't make it very far afterwards tho.

So that's my life thus far. Boy this blogging thing is harder than I thought. I haven't even posted my insights on world politics yet, not to mention my reform agenda. And of course, there's that language I'm working on, my magical studies, progress playing Morrowind, plus all the astrophysics and other neat things I'm interested in. Ah, well... I've got all the time in the world...

This weeks comics reviews

There's something odd about that title.... Anyway...


Runaways #6. This series is easily becoming my favorite comic book. Great characterization, obscure characters, and Darkhawk!!! Yes, he's back in this issue, with a vengence!

And the revealations this issue.... Cool! Although the benefactor was a bit of a let down, there is seriously some potential here. Now we just need to have Excelsior get a LS or a regular series....


Marvel Team-Up #11. Darn it, I keep trying to drop this series, but it keeps growing on me. Now they brought in Nova(!) for cripes sakes. Mostly dialoge, but it was spot on.


Hercules #5 of 5. Wow, finaly this Limited Series pays off. Great insight into the character. And a really weird read, considering I just bought Hercules Season 1 of the Kevin Sorbo TV series.


Robert Jordan's New Spring #1. Yes, you read that right. The series without an end is publishing a comic about the begining. Very cool. But for $4 an issue I'm not sure I can afford to read about something I've already read twice (In Legends and the full book version). I'm sure my Dad would love to recieve it from me... Hmm....


Well thats it for the reviews. Unless I review the latest issue I read in Essential X-Men vol.3 that is. Hmm. Anyway, I intend to be irregular about doing these, until the page finds its niche.
