Brief Updates

Just a short one this time. The basketball team is still good. The weather is still cold. And I'm still owning my shit.

It's back to the grind this week. Grunt work for my professors and getting some ideas for research going. We're also going to be writing up another journal submission. And classes start up next Tuesday. So, Final Fantasy X-2 is on hold until Spring Break (or maybe even the summer) .

On the down side, I didn't get as much written in the novel as I wanted to, and I didn't get to my nano book at all. And tack on the book that I was wanting to read and two restaurant reviews that need to be written, and I'm a little behind. That's unfortunate, but I'll get on my horse soon enough. I've still got time before things get too crazy.

I need to get my tickets lined up and stuff, but I will be going to St. Petersburg Beach for a conference in February. I have to say that whoever had this idea is a genius. Of course, it would be sort of awesome if I was going down just for a weekend bender, but I'll settle for a conference.

My absolute highlight of the day, week, and possibly year, is that Tilt finally opened up on ESPN. And it was as awesome as promised. There was sex, violence, and gambling. All of my favorite things. I'm already looking forward to getting the series on DVD. All I know is that "The Matador" Don Everest is my idol. And "I need to go relieve myself," is a line that has just entered my rotation. If you see the first episode, you'll know just what I'm saying.

To close - some major props to the lil' bro who finally got a job offer. He won't be making a whole lot of coin, and he'll have to deal with artistic kids. What's that you say? Autistic, not artistic? Oh. That's not so bad, then Also, a little shout out for the fun little MP3 player that he sent out to me. It's nice, despite the fact that my desktop computer hates it, it doesn't have a shuffle mode, and the headphones that came with it were retarded (one of the leads from the earpice was like 6 inches long, while the other one was like 2 feet long). Most importantly? It gets the job done, and it was free.

Until next time... remember that I'm a renegade, never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day...
