Happy T!
I probably won't be updating this as often as i once did considering that i no longer have a computer to do so with and so updates shall be sparse for some time i think. just so ya know.
So the quarter has been progressing nicely. Only a couple more weeks and I will have successfully completed my first quarter of grad school. I have a final paper/project due in each class. There's really only one that scares me though. I have no idea where to even begin on it.
Next week is Thanksgiving. Yay! I've been eating (relatively) healthy food in anticipation of all the yummy, not healthy foods I'll be eating over the holidays. I do love food, but I still need to fit into my pants. Can't wait for that sweet potato casserole though!
I've been listening to helicopters since 6am. The UC Regents passed a 32-36% (depending on the source) fee hike for undergrads this morning and there have been protests since yesterday. Some students even took over one of the buildings, staging a sit in since last night. I read they chained the doors. I walked right past the building this morning and didn't even know.
The grad students only have a 2.6% increase right now, so don't fear for me. I just don't want to come out of this owing an incredible amount of money. I'm just becoming a librarian. Not exactly a lucrative career. When I was looking at the fee chart from the registrar's office, I could never understand why tuition wasn't included. Apparently, if you're a CA resident and your family makes under $70,000/year, you don't pay tuition. Just fees.
Also, my birthday is 3 weeks from today (December 10). Write it down. 24 years old. Woooow.
My brother who was on a mission for our church is gonna be home! now i don't have to take care of his vox anymore!

There ya go.
My Brother and i were talking about Ghouls 'N' ghosts recently and came up with this!
"The Demon Council"
Leader: This Never works! Whenever we Kidnap Princess Prin-Prin for our Fiendish purposes, Arthur ALWAYS rescues her, no matter what we throw at him!
Other Demon: What should we do?
Lesser bad guy: I know! Lets kidnap Arthur!
Leader: Thats It! Make Princess Prin-Prin Rescue Arthur! She'll Never make it though all that stuff Arthur did!
(Though i don't know how he did either...)
and heres a picture we also made just for the fun of it to descibe each of Arthur and Red Arremers Encounters though each game.
There Ya go! GnG mania!
On Monday I was going to the computer lab on campus. As I was walking through, I was looking down, flipping through songs on my Zune. I notice legs near me and look up to make sure not to run into the person. As I'm looking up I realize that the girl was wearing what was essentially black nylons and a cardigan sweater. That's it.
So this is my PSA:
PANTS: Don't leave home without them.
Kind of like this. But her sweater was shorter. I don't want to know what happens when she's not standing.
Bad news first so we can end on a good note at least.
1. My sword broke! Yes....sadly it is broken and with no other choice i had to throw it away.
Due to the fact that i didn't actually use my costume ideas from last year, it sat in amongst a pile of books and other related things. Being that Halloween is coming up, i decided to get it out. But as i try to pull it out of the plastic sheath, only half the sword came out. I'll put up a "not really" related picture in an effort to illustrate what it looked like at that moment.
Good News!
1. I bought a new sword! Wal-mart $4.00
No sheath, but who really needs them right?
No you don't get a picture of it.
They you go! news related to my costume good and bad.
The tenth review. Isn't that great? yeah no i didn't think so either.
Game:Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts
Genre:Run and Gun/Side Scroller
Score:7/10
There ya go. Play it if you want but beware, Everytime ya die, it feels like the game is constantly punching you in the face for trying to play it.
Once more, The Game Hunter signing off.
I write down ideas for blogging all the time, but I forget to actually write them.
So last week I decided to get out and actually do stuff in the city. So I looked online at some popular things to do in LA. I found one article that talked about a large farmers market, so last Saturday I went. There was fruit and vegtable stands, butchers, bakers, candy makers and a gourmet shop. But additionally there were a ton of food stands. Falafels, fried catfish, pasta. All right there. I'm definitely taking people there for lunch when they're here. Everything looked so delicious. All I bought while I was there was fruit. I got some grapes that were so big. I didn't notice they were the seed in kind, however, so I only ate about three.
I also ventured that day to Ikea in Burbank, which I had never been to before. The place is HUGE. And colorful. So much stuff, so cheap. It was the first time I had been in the LA suburbs. Can I just say, so much calmer than where I am.
On Monday, I went down to Venice beach and quickly remembered why I don't go places by myself. The boardwalk itself was okay and the beach was nice. But within 90 seconds of leaving my car, I was hit on. I was probably hit on about half a dozen times in the less than hour that I was there. There's just not that many places I feel comfortable going by myself.
My real roommate also got here last Saturday. She's nice, but I honestly haven't talked to her much. Her boyfriend from Taiwan is also here for awhile.
As for the actual school... Well, it's school. There is a TON of reading. I'm not sure for how long I can read everything that's assigned. The classes themselves are actually quite interesting. Right now my classes deal mainly with the information side of things- what it is, how it's organized- and not the library services. It's a side I had never really had to think about before, but some of it can actually be quite interesting.
I'm coming to Vegas next weekend! I'm so exited. I miss everybody so much. And doing social things with other people. I can't wait!
