Updates
Sometimes I plan on updating at the end of one week, but put it off and end up updating the next week, as was the case with last weekend.
I'm working for the campus newspaper as a copy editor(out of about 15-16). Unfortunately, it's a more limited role, and the last two times I showed up for my shift, there was literally nothing left to copy edit(I suspect that the few people with even later shifts). As a result, I've rescheduled my shift, and hope that I manage to get articles to edit on Sunday. Then again, it is good to get editing experience rather than wait to have to become an editor to do so(which may be difficult here, given the greater field of candidates).
I'm playing Final Fantasy II(the Japanese sequel to FFI, part of Dawn of Souls), and I'm up to the Tropical Island(just after you place the White Mask in Mysidia on your way to get the Ultima Tome). Leveling up individual statistics can be aggravatingly repetitive, and not conducive to "coasting through" dungeons by fighting monsters(if you want enough mana for tight situations), and often results in strange results in advancement(Guy still has 6 agility), but the quest is fun, if not as much so as FFI, and the story is vastly superior to FFI's.
By the way, I find the recent Foxtrot strips about Hurricane Katrina as preachy as the blood donation strips in the 9/11 memorial series. Additionally, despite having given some money to the relief efforts, I am conflicted about donating to the funds. I agree with the general principle of this article(that charities are no substitution for government assistance, and that mutual aid should be used), but feel that relief from private charities is preferable to no relief at all, and that "starving the beast" of private religious charities may well result in more difficulty for New Orleans residents, and will not likely bring about more support of government aid for disasters. I'm curious as to what you think about this.
