I ought to do this more...
Well, it's been a while, and I have a lot I should post, but I know I'll never remember it all. Let's start finals week, when my last post was...
A couple nights before Devon was moving out, he packed up his 360 even though he wasn't leaving until like two days later. Considering the Cheese and I were planning on spending our evening playing Oblivion, we were thusly bored after Devon taped away his 360 and we had nothing better to do, so we took to bothering Devon.
After seeing my late pet hermit crab and friend Dr. Zoidberg off to the halls of Valhalla in traditional hermit crab funeral pyre fashion ("And with his last breath, he cursed himself."), we decided to go off-roading in Devon's Jeep. So the three of us set out along something of a utility trail Devon had pioneered alone previous nights in boredom, and we very promptly got stuck in the mud. The Cheese and I got out, and with Devon still behind the wheel, we did everything we could to move the Jeep, and succeeded in doing so insignificantly. We used large, fallen branches as levers, put them under the tires for traction, pushed, pulled, lifted, dug (and there were thorns in the mud...), etc., and were still stuck. So, ultimately we ended up calling a tow service and they removed us ("What were you guys thinking?" "Not much.").
So, Devon and Josh left, and I was alone in the apartment. Mary was often there, but when she had work, I was very bored and lonely. I've been doing some reading on game programming in C (a language that most apparently don't like to program in for some odd reason) because I finally found a book on that subject at Books-A-Million. I'ven't accomplished anything real yet, but I'll let everyone know when I produce anything remotely amusing.
Other than that, I've an orthodontist in Wheeling now who specialized in temperomandibular joint problems, which is why I decided to get braces (I could care less about my bite, but my jaw pops a lot), so I'll be traveling a lot between Morgantown and there. I've already had three appointments. Also, since Quincy and many of his friends have apparently become interested in Magic carding (again), I've dug up my old cards and have been playing with him. I'ven't done too much with them except when I'm at Quincy's, but if anyone wants a game or some cards or something, let me know.
The degus have chewed through two water bottles, causing messes/stinks in the cage and necessitating replacements. Currently they have this tank of hard plastic/metal that should be nearly chew-proof, so we'll see how that works out. That combined with their tendency to throw stuff out of their cage whenever we have the top part on (one of those things that sits on top of the aquarium to make it tiered) makes them rather annoying. Nevertheless, they're very amusing and rather cute, so I suppose we'll deal with it.
Saw X3 at the midnight premiere, and it was good. Saw many people I've missed there, and that was also good. Start work Tuesday for the same thing I did last summer, which is somewhat good, I suppose, but I'm not really looking forward to it. I'll probably use a good bit of that time to program and do some rendering.
Oh, and grades were alright. C in Microprocessors because that professor was evil. B's in everything else, and an A in Operating Systems. The only thing that really bothers me was that I got a B in Sociology because the final was multiple choice with really ambivalent questions that could've had several of the answers. Bah.
Other than that, I'm sure there's more I need to say, but for now, it's time for me to sleep.
