I got a rock

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.
