Ramblings

So today was all about Halo 3. I went and grabbed breakfast/lunch with Ross (Chipolte’s on De Anza), and he finally decided then that he was going to get the 360 and Halo 3. I offered to buy the game itself and a second controller, to sweeten the deal. It’s funny that we went to… Read more

I bought a big bag of potatoes around about the first week I was here. I happened to look at them the other day, and discovered they’d developed tentacles and were escaping from the bag.

It’s hard to say if their antics were actually successfully funny until I see the video, but the sadly predictable responses from a few of the… Read more

I finally got off my posterior and rejoined the gym last Tuesday or somesuch.

So, I might go tomorrow… Read more
