Let All Who Worship Evil's Might Beware My Power, Green Lantern's Light!

Yep, that's right. Green Lantern is the proverbial Shiznits. So, quick little informal poll: Who's your favorite Lantern?

A) Alan Scott
B) Hal Jordan
C) Guy Gardner
D) John Stewart
E) Kyle Rayner

Me, I'm all for Hal Jordan. Sure he went crazy and tried to destroy the universe, but how much cooler can you get?

I'm so glad you did not choose me!

Hear now, O prince, the tale of my Friday, that day most blessed by the gods! I woke up and went through my normal routine, i.e. wake up, take shower, brush teeth, etc., go to library and do homework. After lunch, I went to class, where we talked about bipolar disorder. I've had some experience with bipolar people (those of you who are familiar with the story know exactly what I'm talking about. If you don't know, you probably don't need to know.). After class got out (an hour early! w00t!), I went over to Keith's office for a bit of a chat. We talked about writing, plans after college, the Simpson's, and Futurama. It was neat-o. I then went home. Justin returned from the GRE's, and we immediately set out to go downtown in celebration of his liberation. Our first stop was the theatre, to see about show-times. After determining how much time we had, we went to O'Daugherty's. After a few pints each, we went back to the theatre and saw The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. On the whole, it was an enjoyable film, with some excellent comedy, though it was not quite as funny as some of Wes Anderson's other stuff, like Rushmore or Royal Tannenbaums. It's worth checking out, though. After fumbling blindly through my pockets, I found our parking ticket, and we went back to the lair, where I sit now, chronicling the events of the day.

Don't Panic!

As some of you may know, I am a long-time fan of Douglas Adams's seminal science-fiction comedy series, the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchiker's Guide Trilogy. As a few of you may be aware, there is a movie based upon Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy coming out in May (yes, I'm going to go see it). They have already released one trailer, and a teaser poster. I found a link to both, for your viewing pleasure.

Ho-kay

Today is Thursday, day of Thor, God of Thunder, which means that tomorrow is Friday! Yee-haw! Anywho, on to the business at hand. It's still cold. No change there. This morning, I read some more Conan adventures, watched some Futurama, and went to class in the afternoon. Today we talked about depression, a subject with which I am acquainted on a few levels (I'll let you figure out what those levels are). It was during discussion in the last hour of class that I began to realize that I dislike some of the members of our class. I'll give you a hint as to their academic standing: starts with an 'f-' and ends in a '-reshmen.' They just get on my nerves with their ignorance and naivete. I sometimes have a hard time remembering what I was like as a Frosh. Was I that bad? At any rate, the A-man was making some noise like he was going to drop a Wyma-ism, but all he did was give one of the milder examples from ethics. I was hoping that he would drop something seriously offensive, but no. After class got out, I went and perused Borders, as I am prone to doing when I am bored. I read a few comics, and generally loitered about. I was supposed to have Bible-study tonight, but my guys ditched on me, without notifying me, either. So, I went home, had a beer, read some from System of the World (Neal Stephenson still rules, you bastards!), and took a shower. Now, I sit in my chair, typing about the day's experiences.

Kablam!

Today has been somewhat dull. I woke up late, read a bit of Robert E. Howard's The Bloody Crown of Conan, and then watched some Stargate. I then took a shower, got dressed, and went to the library. Andrew and I did some of our homework before class, and next thing you know, three scintillating hours of Molecules and the Mind. Woo-hoo. Andrew, who had been feeling mildly bitter today, reverted into his role as the token male chauvenist, much to the amusement of myself and those who actually know him. After class, I went over to my boss's house for a dinner meeting with the other interns. It was fun. Afterwards, I had to drive Danny and Shelby back to Whitworth, and we got lost. It was the scenic route. We got back with no worries, so that worked out. I then went to the library, did some homework, and then returned home. So, here I sit, typing out my blog. And yes, shockingly enough, I have Gasp POLITICAL VIEWS! But you'll have a snowball's chance in hell of getting me to actually talk about them very much on this site! Also, I listen to music that I'll never tell you about. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

The Dread Pirate Steve Be In No Man's Debt

Okay, so yesterday was interesting. The LSD presentation went okay. And it is frickin' freezing. I hates that. In fact, freezing would actually be warmer than it is. We're talking negative temperatures here. I really am not looking forward to going outside. I think I'll put that off for now.

Will, back in my days as a jedi 

Fun, Fun, and as the kids are saying these days, "Fun."

Well, this weekend has been amusing, to say the least. Yesterday, Ian showed up from the distant land of Ellensburg for two days of geekish pleasure with us. He woke both Justin and I up at about 10, ringing our doorbell. From there, we both quickly got dressed and rode forth in search of fun. The first stop was the house of Jordan, Sarah, Annemarie, Brandon, and Rita. Jordan, Sarah, Ian, Justin, and I sat around for awhile before we decided that sustenance was needed. Thus, we traveled to the restaurant they call "Shari's". After lunch, we stopped by Blockbuster to pick up some movies to watch. We then returned to the house and watched Shaun of the Dead. It certainly did tickle my funny-bone. Oh, thank the gods of cinema for the brits. After that, we went back upstairs and hung out some more, read the screenplay that Ian and Justin wrote, and the various writings of the members of that house. We then ordered the ever-popular Colossus from the Pipeline and dined. After that, we descended once more into the basement and watched some MST:3k. We then went back upstairs and talked some more. After that, Justin and I returned to the lair. This morning, the snow was even worse, so driving to church was a real bitch. Sunday School was okay. I then cut out of there, breaking like the wind. Ian, Annemarie, Justin and I met for lunch at Taste of India, where we enjoyed their wonderful lunch buffet. It was good, so here I am.
