Octopus Taco

So, Finals are coming up, and I have the worst exam schedule ever. This Saturday, I have my Japanese Final Exam at 8:00 in the morning. Next Friday, I have my Chemistry Final...at 8:00 in the morning. I also have some work I need to turn in next Wednesday for English and Enterprise, but that should be easy enough to finish this weekend.

I plan on doing my holiday shopping online this weekend, so if anyone has something they got somewhere besides Amazon, send me an e-mail. For those of you who have not yet bought gifts for me, I would like to add to my list the Xykon Quote #2 and Creature in the Darkness Quote #1 T-shirts from www.cafepress.com/orderofthestick.

My roommate wanted to room with a buddy of his next semester so, being the nice guy that I am, I agreed to find a different room. Luckily, the room just down the hall(Marshall 305) was open for next semester. My new room will be further from the bathroom, but also further away from the stupid pranks the guys around here pull on each other. I like cheese more than the average man, but not when it's smeared on my door.

Sweet 16

So, I registered for classes for next semester. For those who care about my schedule, read on. For those who don't, I'll talk about City of Villains later in the post. For those who don't care about either, go away. For next semester, I decided to take 16 hours worth of classes. The 4 hour credit difference pretty much means I have an hour and a half added to my tuesday and thursday schedules, minus my current tuesday lab, and an hour on Friday. This is how it breaks down:

MWF 1:00-1:50>Japanese(year 1, part 2)-not on Friday
2:00-2:50>Communication
3:00-3:50>American Diversity

T-Th 11:00-12:15>Ideal of Democracy
1:00-1:50>Japanese
2:00-3:15>Financial Accounting

American Diversity and Ideal of Democracy are both Middle Core Gen Ed classes. American Diversity sounds pretty lame, but so did everything in its category. Oh well.

And now it's time for...EVIL. Although there has been some lag due to so many people playing, I can't resist City of Villains. I've made 2 characters so far, which I think will definitely be my primary and secondary characters for awhile. The first is a Dark Melee/Invulnerable Mutation Brute named Black Rhino. He's pretty much a clone of White Ryno, except that he's completely Black(duh) and has some evil decorations(Chains around gloves, shoulder spikes and skulls). My second is a Robot/Poison Mastermind named Lord Alkar, currently with only one mechanical buddy named Freddy. He wears a derby and normal clothes, and has a scar over his right eye. He also has a robotic right arm, and a belt with ampules to store his poison. Right now Black Rhino is level 6 and Alkar is level 2.

Time to kill all humans.

Guess I'll have to buy my own candy.

So, after the Sox won the world series there was the predictable riot throughout the campus and surrounding area. I tagged along just to see the insanity. There were lots of street signs bent over, and some dumbasses tipped over a trailer and almost hit a moving car with it. I left when I heard the riot was headed towards I-55. Around six the next morning, I briefly woke up and noticed that there was no power in the dorm. I later learned this was somehow a result of the riot. Dumbasses.

Rocky Horror Picture Show was awesome. There were scantily clad women. The audience participation adds even more hilarity to the movie, although I don't think the props added much. The Combat Club Halloween party was also great. I went as Death's loser younger brother.I just wore my ISU shirt and a jacket, put on a death mask and topped it off with my Redbirds cap. It worked out pretty well. Not much worth writing about at the party. Just a cool party.

I finally started CoH again this morning. The one thing I noticed is that they finally fixed death animations which was a pet peeve of mine. Now, a villain will actually interact with terrain instead of just falling through it. I look forward to starting the villainy goodness.

That's all for now. I have to go out and wait for the Great Pumpkin.

Grrr...Arrgh

So, it's been forever since I've posted anything, let alone anything not random. Some will be able to tell by my post title that I've watched way too much Firefly lately(if that's even possible). Now I just need to see the movie. In Spiderman news, the villains of the next movie have been revealed as Venom(Topher Grace) and Sandman(Thomas Haden Church). I also heard a rumor that Venom will use the "Ultimate" origin which would not require alot of backround. Or maybe they will make up something that both Venom and Sandman could use. Also, I find that article title hilarious.

I'm pretty sure the stupidity of the high-school visitors was contagious, because people around here have been slower and dumber than usual. I'm working on a new theory about how the elevators here work. If you have a full elevator, it will stop on every floor trying to pick up more people. If the elevator is relatively empty, it will go to its destination without a single stop. This seems to happen regardless if it's near the hour(people going to and from classes). I've also learned to get on elevators going down from the lobby when I want to go up, because it takes exactly 1 second to go from lobby to ground and I'll have the elevator to myself on the way up.

In school news, it's been a pretty good midterm for me. My English paper for Friday is done, and probably better than my other papers. I got an 18 out of 20 on my Chemistry exam, and a 98% on my Japanese test. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten the Chem exam perfect if I had done the online review, but it is still an A and I know what to do for future exams. For the Japanese test I just messed up the stroke order for mo. Still no test or major assignments in Enterprise. I'm pretty sure that I'll change my major to Business Information Systems. This may sound boring to others, but for some reason it appeals to me. Not that I care what you think anyway.

Jesus nuts on the loose!!

this post is pretty much just for the title. I saw the weirdos out on the quad today with their "gays are evil", "drinking is a sin", and "God hates everyone but us" signs, and I thought of that title. But I thought that would make for a very small post, so I found this.

Chair University

from doug's blog. I like the part where I assassinate people.

School Update:English-first paper done and gone. just writing here. Nothing Else. Really.
Enterprise-actually starting to do assignments in this class. They're still boring and so is the class.
Chemistry-Very easy. I've done everything so far with practically no effort. Likely to get atleast slightly more difficult
Japanese-still cool. All my post titles will likely originate in this class. isu means chair. Which means I go to school at chair.

I went out with my roommate and the guys next door on thursday. I had a good time, but I think that I have officially established that I cannot stand the taste of alchohol in anything. I even had a bit a Guiness, which was better than the Busch in the kegs, but it still had the taste of alchohol apparent in it.

I missed going to the first home football game(where we apparently kicked ass) because combat club weapon building took longer than expected. I now have my own complete sword and uncovered teardrop shield(cover coming soon).

That's pretty much all that's been going on. I need Dad to tell me how to put a "Read More" link in my blog so I can put up comic book reviews.

Don't touch my moustache!!!

Captain's Log: 08/29/05

First English paper is progressing on schedule. Struggling to find a point in most of my Enterprise teacher's ramblings. So far we've learned how to get on the "u-drive"(where the syllabus will be posted) and the most basic aspects of economics. Barnes and Noble has yet to get my chemistry and Enterprise books to me...despite the fact that they had extra copies of the chemistry book on the shelves. My roommates parents visited yesterday, yet I didn't see them at all because I spent 4 hours getting the snot beat out of me(Combat Club). Saturday's corn festival was mainly just an outdoor flee market with overpriced food booth's, but I did get a giant Darth Vader pez dispenser half price. We shall see what the rest of the week shall bring.

hello for whatever time you happen to be reading this

So.... everyone else has a blog so i guess i gotta make one as well.

The first week of ISU has been pretty good. Passages was pretty much pointless, but the hypnotist was amusing. The only class I've really done anything in is Japanese, which also happens to be my favorite class so far. The teacher is super nice and all the people in the class are really cool. So far we've learned basic greetings and 30 hiragana letters. We've done absolutely nothing in my other classes.

On another note(or more accurately the same one), I have found people to start a D&D group with and have been convinced to join Medieval Combat Club...through people in my Japanese class. The D&D group will probably have a couple rookies, but also good veterans so things should be fine. After class today, I followed my new friends to the the quad where all the clubs were set up including-Combat Club! If you don't know what this is , it's where you take foam weapons and try to kill your friends with them. I joined a couple fights and I didn't do too bad. I also learned Viking Football("catch" with a javelin) which started too teach me how to weild a javelin. I'm going back out there pretty soon so I gotta close up for today. See you next time, Same cheese time! Same cheese channel!
