Eric and I had a great time at Frolicon. We did some gaming (in particular, learning a lot about D&D 4E), went to some fun parties, and most of all enjoyed seeing everybody. It was especially nice to have another occasion to see those people we normally only get to see a couple times a year, and I enjoyed getting a chance to talk to a few people ( Read more... )

Here are a few stray things I'm thinking about at the moment:

I have exams on Tuesday and Wednesday, then I will be DONE with going to class in person! Woo! I still have to pass one more exemption test to ensure that I graduate when I want to, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I've lived here my whole life, and yet, I'm ( Read more... )

 This week has been fairly full.

I have recently converted my brother Andy to the ranks of Buffy fans. So, we went in together and bought a big box of Buffy action figures on ebay.  They arrived Tuesday, so he came over and we divided them up. This is my half:

So, I'm spending the day on the sofa, reading, surfing the net, and I'm about to to watch a movie (which will probably suck) with Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia from Buffy/Angel).

While my geekiness is well developed in several areas, it is sadly deficient in the computer category. I saw an article in the Red & Black today about a site where you can download the game The Oregon Trail. Am I the only one who LOVED this game in elementary school? So, I thought "What fun!" Sadly, this requires understanding things that I don't, ( Read more... )

Eric & I went and saw Star Wars: Episode 3 Monday night. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. After the complete crapiness of the first two films, this one was actually a good story and pretty gracefully got all the characters where they needed to be to set up the original trilogy. I still had some problems with it, but I'll hide the ( Read more... )
