I’ve started school again. Aside from retaking Calculus II, I think i’m going to really look forward to this semester, especially my CSCI classes. Also Kassi is back in school, which is great. Of course, the biggest downside to school is always the fact that I get less hours at work, which turns into less money. Oh well, on the same token, it means i’m going out for lunch a lot less so maybe it will balance out.
Here’s my schedule, taken from one of my Facebook apps since I’m too lazy to recreate something like this on my own:
Speaking of Facebook, I’ve been getting a lot of laughs reading some of the discussion topics on the Michael Phelps fan page. Some of the trolls are masters of the craft and the kinds of people who fall for it.. oh man. If you have a Facebook account, click here to see what I mean.
I’ve been enjoying Soul Calibur IV lately, as well as my ownership of the Robotech 20th Anniversary Edition Original Soundtrack. Soon I intend to order the remastered DVD megaset of the entire series and perhaps sell my current DVD set - which is only the Macross saga - on eBay or something.
I completed my summer course of Humanities 2002 at ASU. First time I have ever taken a class over the summer. Possibly won’t be my last. I’m just extremely thankful that I’m done with that class, and even more thankful that I got a B and will never have to see it again.
Tomorrow i’m getting a free Xbox 360. Very long story short, Mike has acquired an extra one due to a ridiculous fiasco involving Fed-Ex and/or Microsoft, and has offered it to me. The only catch is I will still need to purchase a hard drive and power cable for it, seeing as how the process of shipping a console for maintenance/replacement involves seperating these items from the main unit, and the combined cost of these things will still make me feel like i’m buying a new console. That is, one from last gen, because I still live in a fantasy world where video game consoles will never cost more than $249.99.
And in case you haven’t heard, The Dark Knight is fantastic. If you haven’t seen it, do so. And please see it in theaters so that the 1997 stain knows as Titanic can be knocked off its record-holding pedestal. I intend to see it a second time whenever my family decides to go.
This is what Net Neutrality exists to prevent - an Internet model which resembles cable television. You pay a set fee for access to a select few websites. Pay a larger fee for a sort of “extended package” to get even more major sites. Pay more for a “premium package” type deal. Want to visit sites not included in any of the packages, like for example a small-time blog, a message board, a web comic, video game site, etc? You get charged even more.
If you care about the Internet and the ability to browse any website you want across the entire Internet without restrictions for one flat rate, help do something about it. Tell your friends and family, write to your paper, post or spread fliers at school, contact members of your government, etc.
