I have a feeling I’ll be having a few more introspective late night blogging sessions for two reasons: a) this winter break is wildly dull and b) I need to give andrew and casey another reason to write a puppet show about me. If you don’t know what that means then just leave it alone. Okay I’ll tell you - my two roommates took a puppetry class (which they both should’ve aced but are clearly too stupid. B+ meh..) and andrew made a puppet of me while casey made one of his roommate, Todd Pritchard. The final product was an insanely accurate attempt at offending our most common habits (my puppet flailed his arms wildly at a computer keyboard for the duration of the show, getting way over-excited about the internet, accurately so). Unfortunately there was no recorded media present at the performance, so you’ll never know what you missed.
I intended to take the day off from computer games, and I mostly did but dove a little into Age of Mythology. I mean, who could resist a 45 minute episode of Zeus battling at your side. Ephesus wound up pillaging both my cities before I even had a proper cavalry but what are you gonna do, amirite?

I found this shot online - we’ll just pretend I was whomever is losing above, cuz I can’t tell - blue? Oh also, I was complaining about that game League of Legends the other day - now everyone I know, including my grandmother, is playing it. Because it’s free. So I guess, if you want, here it is: http://leagueoflegends.com - It’s not super fun or anything, but if you know the guys and grandmas you’re playing with, its a good time.
One final thought - If you’re currently using windows XP, do not switch to win7. do not be lured by the pretty aero effects that are the sole reason the operating system is selling. It is legitimately less functional than XP. No, it does not crash blowup and give me hundreds of errors (like vista that I thankfully avoided altogether) but it gives me way more trouble than XP did. hardware drivers are a nightmare. That is all for now.
