mid-february update

Quick update! (still busy/slacking off/playing games/saving the “world” )

14th -Valitines day was a boring but interesting day of reflection.

18th -GDC came and is uneventful to me so far. Playing is believing though. *shrug*

19th -Took a Sierra College assessment(English/math) and felt very ill about 5 minuets in. Couldn’t focus and started guessing on some problems I would normally take the time to solve. Somehow still got normal results - perhaps better than my sister. haha!

Nick: 1
Logic: 400082

20th -Turned 18! Woo!(meh) Went to the doctor as well. He took me off my acne medication finally.

21st -Feeling much better without that medication crap. Unfortunately I have lots of work.

Oh and this set is simply kick-ass. Best headphones EVER. Didn’t think there was an RJ-11 to 1/4″ plug out there.

Homework: push start

Whoops, did I say I was going to write another entry on Wednesday? I meant Thursday. Because Wednesdays almost always suck. You can’t argue with that logic… *ahem…

Actually, school is kicking into overdrive so I have no time for blogging or other web-related shenanigans… well except for right now.
Times up!
…Nah just kidding.

Gaming is on the back-burner as well. Advance wars has been in stand-by mode for about four or five days now, and still going strong! Who knows when I’ll get back to it. Maybe if I finish this blog post fast enough… hm.

Two weeks from now my school will be - basically - adding a 30min class to my schedule. I say “basically” because it’s actually pretty complicated and some days I may even get out of school earlier than I already do. But given this is me I’ll be stuck staying that extra thirty minuets that is (what they call) the “plus period”. If you click that link you’ll witness some Rocklin High school web designing at its finest. Who knows though, maybe I could turn this time into something productive.

Good’ol Fabrice Lig(AKA: Soul Designer), who I talked to briefly before I jumped off the Myspace bandwagon, has uploaded some short and sweet videos of Standard 9. Which is something Ken Ishii’s website for Standard has yet to do(and I doubt ever will at this rate). Check these out if you like techno!

Edit: BTW I titled one of my previous posts “rapping up jan08″ - and I forgot the w!(w-rapping) Talk about embarrassing!

Finally February is here! Three weeks of January rain will drive you nuts. Only problem now is the humidity was keeping us relatively warm and now early morning temperatures are down to the low 30s(F). So… cold…

Today’s a big election day, something like 22 states are all holding democratic or republican party primaries. By the end of the day we should know who’s running against who for president. I’ve been rooting for Barack Obama but only because I know one of the more obscure candidates who I prefer, Dennis Kucinich, didn’t stand a chance. In fact he dropped out a couple weeks ago. I’ll admit I didn’t know who he even was until a couple of months ago, often confusing his last name with Kruschev. Haha, I blame history class for that one. I have my fingers crossed for vice president. I turn 18 on the 20th(zomg) so I can’t vote in this primary but I’ll be voting in the actual election. But hey, the second I see the Green party pick up some momentum I’m so jumping ship. Sure I won’t be able to vote in the Democratic primaries, but I’ll never forget the party representatives that came into our econ/gov class a couple of months ago. The Green party rep out-classed all of them. He was also the only rep… maybe the only person in the room… that knew what Net neutrality was. I actually somewhat owe him one for being able to explain it a bit better than I was(which was nerve racking in front of axp60+ kids and apx10 adults). The funny part was the Republican representative was some sort of networks engineer (or so he claimed) and was caught completely off guard by the subject.

I’m a bit pressed for time, I’ll update again tomorrow.
