Two weekends ago, I took part in 5 Magic: the Gathering tournaments. I had a complete and utter blast at this event. Mind you, I was quite mentally and (somewhat) physically tired afterwards, but I had a heck of a good time.

I have been having to deal with a hugely annoying, almost infuriating, college bureaucracy system that is just plain lame, stupid, and rather unhelpful. First, I found exactly nowhere on the paperwork of my Consortium agreement* that "after 90 days of not ( Read more... )

Let's see, addressing the stuff I meant to the other week or so.

First, that five page paper - managed an 83 on it. Not too shabby. Most of what I got dinged on were formatting items. Now I just need to do the research paper that will consist of:

Research Proposal
Preliminary Research Outline
Annotated Bibliography
Note Cards
Rough Draft
Research Paper

My ( Read more... )

So I'll be making an entry later today, albeit a bit slowly, since I'll also be cranking out a five page paper. Why will I be doing that ( Read more... )

And when I look at who I am, compared to who I used to be, I'm glad for the progress ( Read more... )

So today I got my dvd player back from the repair shop. The power supply on it needed to be replaced. Repair ended up being just a little over $80. On the other hand, for an 8 year old system that I originally only paid $25 for, I can live with my first home theater set-up only costing me a little over $100.

And today I ordered this, and I should ( Read more... )

Asdfghjk! My 4 year old dvd player, already showing some signs of age (disc tray immediately closing again after opening) has tonight decided it's going all out in its' quest to die. It now refuses to open the tray again at all (despite sitting there with the tray open by itself for half a minute before I went over to see why it keeps turning ( Read more... )
