Ash Wednesday

It's Lent! Yay!

I've given on up on the LOTR mmo beta. I've downloaded it 3 times. Three different methods. Once using the torrent. Once with their download manager, and once with their little small bite size files. All three times there were errors and missing components when I tried to install. I searched through the boards trying to find people with similar problems, and the solution given to those people by the administrators was the smaller file downloads. I'm done with it. I've spent the last week trying to get this game to work and it's just not going to happen.

In other sort of gaming news, I bought heroscape. It's kind of like Heroquest, but cooler. Spants and I played it on Monday. He beat me twice because I couldn't roll the dice to save my life and his units had immense defense. It's a big game. It takes a lot of room.

Joe comes home tomorrow. He's bringing a girl with him. My mom is freaking out about the house being a mess, which it isn't really... I'm mean, not more than normal.

Anyway, I've been playing a lot of 12. It's great fun.

I haven't posted in a while.

I just got studying for a test...sort of. I read the study guide and feel like i have a pretty good grasp on the concepts.

Associational
Institutional
Nonassociational
Anomic

BAM! Those are the four types of interest groups.

Apparently I've been able to actually retain some knowledge in this class, even though it's my sleepiest one.

I ganked Spant's copy of 12. I think I'm going to start a new game. I have a save file from when I rented it. I'm like 11 hours in on that file... but that was around halloween which was like 4 months ago. I tried picking it up from there, but I had no connection to it. I'm going to start over.

Did you know SEMO isn't closed on president's day!?? What kind of bullshit is that!?

I'm dling another British TV series to district me while I play video games. It's called Jeeves and Wooster. It stars Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. It's fun.

Also, God of War 2 comes out next month and is supposedly the greatest action game ever.

I still have Christmas candy

Been listening to a lot of Arcade Fire recently. Funeral is one of my favorite albums of all time.

My dad and I are doing a trivia night tonight in Kelso with some of his brothers. As much useless knowledge as I have, I'm really not that much of an asset when it comes to trivia nights because the questions are either ridiculously easy so that everyone would know them, or unnecessarily hard. Not a lot of questions fall in the middle ground, where I feel I am the most useful. That's why I like the Notre Dame Trivia nights so much. Chris/Betsy/Ted/Kent work so hard at having a good mix of questions and they usually do an excellent job. The reality TV category is the one exception. That whole thing was bogus.

So school's going well. I enjoy all my classes, even though I tend to nod off in political science and I'm really adapting rather well to my early morning class.

The super bowl is tomorrow. I'll probably watch it, or at least have it on while I play Battle for Middle Earth 2.

ok I gots to go.
