PROF: And you're all too young to have used DOS shell...

I freaking lived in DOS until we got Windows 95. Yeah, we had 3.1 (which he also mentioned as a "before your time" dig), but you couldn't open any of the good games in Windows. Rebel Assault, Mad Dog McCree, Dark Forces (and that's Dark Forces I, before Kyle Katarn turned into Corran Horn Lite)...I could probably still find my way around stuff if I had to. I remember some of the commands, at least.

I mention this because it is the last freaking time I am ever going to get to feel superior in this class.

In other news, I had lunch with Zac today. His service organization had a convention at OU, and he called me and we went out to lunch. Actually, we ate in the Student Center dining hall because he had about half an hour. I treated, because a) I wasted $35 last quarter by not using the Student Center and b) I let him buy on the last date we had, even though I wanted to break up, and that was not cool of me. Anyway, things were perfectly friendly and peaceable and, as always, much less awkward than I expected. Maybe now we can actually be friends.

Okay, I'm printing out a copy of my thesis--I really am going to do work tonight, guys--and then I'm going home. See, the trouble with an iPod is that when you buy a Fall Out Boy CD,* you have to take it home and stuff before you can listen to it.

*First Panic! At the Disco, now Fall Out Boy. I am so scene I am going to have to buy skinny jeans. And nobody wants that, least of all me.

nostalgia, cs 230, music
