Science is Magic!

I’m glad I live in a country where I can say things like this and still be joking. Let’s keep it that way, eh Kansas? Maybe someday I’ll even be able to visit such radical countries as China.

The dark wizard began to summon the awesome powers of ‘gravity’ and ‘momentum.’

Speaking of Kansas, it’s a good thing we don’t use textbooks like this:

Well Toto, looks like we're still in Kansas.

Just add sugar

I missed my coffee today. Not that I didn’t get to have any. I mean I literally missed my coffee…

Oh well. I don’t suppose I was making a mess by pouring sugar into the garbage can.

Grouphug.us

Link - http://grouphug.us

This site is all about anonymous confessions. If you’ve visited it, you know that most are some version of “I want sex with that chick” or “I got dumped and now I hate everything” or:

ok i am going out with a really great guy- i feel different around him. i really like him- and he really lieks me. but i get this need and urge to hang out with my friends and go to shows or a club and jsut be like single- not that i want to be- cuase i always want a bf lol. so i knwo i could go to a club - i jsut wouldnt liek kiss or hug or anything. can i still flirt. i really liek my bf though- man

Kinda like livejournal but shorter, more annoying, and you can’t hate on anyone in particular cause they’re all frickin anonymous. I got as far as the second page and was about to close it when I found:

I never wrote that thank-you letter to my grandma.

That’s cool. Honest and not self-centered. Though this has no bearing on what that person will do in the future regarding their “grandma” it’s nice to see some sign of real people in the mess that we call the internet. Yay for real people! I just found another one.

My middle name is Cornelius.

PL4N - Parkview LAN IV

Flickr PhotoIt’s finally done! I haven’t gotten more than 4 hours of sleep in the past 3 nights. As you can imagine, this made it kinda hard to finish a 20 page paper, an 5 page paper, and 2 other assignments but somehow I managed it. Well, actually I should mention that the 20 page paper was a little short at about 15 pages… but the 5 page paper turned out to be 8 pages so that makes up for it. Even though they’re for different classes. Ok ok, back to the PL4N.

Once again, we gathered at Western Michigan University’s Parkview Campus for the Parkview LAN Party. About 35 gamers preregistered but the actual number who showed up was somewhere around 25 or so. It was a lot of fun but it was also a lot of work. We ended up canning the Battlefield 2 tournament because only 3 people signed up for it but the rest went on as planned. Well… ok so the Counterstrike one didn’t go as planned cause we didn’t have enough for 2 full teams… but we played for a while and the top 5 gamers in terms of score each got a $5 Best Buy gift card. The Quake 4 tournament was interesting to say the least, as we attempted to use the built-in tournament server mode. This proved to be a little awkward, mostly because I couldn’t find anything about it online, but it all worked out in the end… except for a couple people who couldn’t even get the game to work right.

Oh well, thats what I get for trying to run a tournament with a game that came out 2 weeks ago.

The next PLAN is scheduled to be at the end of March so mark your calendars! We’re currently PLANning (*chuckle*) on another two-day event but we may change it to a long one-day thing (noon-4am or something).
