Woo, finally back in Pittsburgh after a week-long trip to NJ. I had a really nice relaxing time, but I wasn’t too bored.
- I finally watched House M.D. and it was a rather entertaining. I got to watch most of seasons 1-3, and Hugh Laurie is a great actor. Chase was my favorite of the trio, and Cameron got on my nerves. Also, it’s not Lupus.
- I also finally played Super Smash Bros. Melee. I can now see why everyone is so excited about Brawl. I am not yet that good, but I did give almost every character a whirl. My favorites to play are (in order) Jigglypuff, Mario, Peach, and Captain Falcon.
- I saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. It was funnier than I expected it to be.
Flagship posted up the winner of the Halloween contest. The first part wasn’t that great (first 1.5 minutes), but there really is a limit to what you can do with the HG:L characters. There’s no model viewer, so no green screening like in WoW. However, the commercial part was amusing, especially when they mention the inventory and the lack of respecs.
I read this interesting article about a Princeton student who sent himself death threats and beat himself up. He also sent the threats to his friends. Why…?
Nava claimed to have been assaulted Friday by two men off campus, police said. But he later confessed that scrapes and scratches on his face were self-inflicted, and that the threats were his work, too, said Detective Sgt. Ernie Silagyi.
So did he take a dive into a sidewalk? Run into some thick shrubs? Nope, he used a brick wall and a bottle. I should mention that it was an Orangina bottle, which makes the story that much funnier.
Nava, a 23-year-old junior politics major from Bedford, Texas, found himself at the center of one campus controversy recently when he wrote a column for the student newspaper criticizing the school for giving out free condoms, which he said encouraged a dangerous “hook-up culture.”
I hate these kinds of arguments. It is like arguing that seat belts encourage a “speeding culture.” Also, this was probably the first clue that the threats were fake. Who even reads those student newspapers, let alone gets mad enough to write something to the author? Please, unless you are actively stealing pictures from someone else, I doubt anyone cares what you wrote for your dumb student paper. Have fun meeting the JA though.
Woot, we finally got a full-length mirror on the bathroom door. We also got the right length screws for the drawer pulls, and replaced the drain stopper (3/8″ threaded shaft). Maybe Bunky can let me relax for the rest of the weekend now.
