Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings DS

So many good RPGs coming out for the DS.

100 - Centennial Schools Event

Well, I suppose I should have done something in my last post, being that it was my 100th, but seeing as how long I have actually had this posting, it is not all that momentous. I should have hit this long ago. But enough of that, no party planned, no big banner sales, this blog is going right to work to fulfill what is requested of it.

It has been noted that the list of schools has not been posted yet. Without further ado, here is that list. (in the order that they appear on my excel spreadsheet). U = University :) and SUNY means that it is part of the State University of New York system.

U of Missouri
U of Texas at Austin
SUNY Stony Brook
Rice University
Indiana University
Boston University
U of Massachusetts at Amherst
Tufts University
SUNY Albany
U of Rochester
U of Connecticut
U of New Hampshire

Oh, and some exciting news, or rather potential (especially since I did not suggest, nor even knew, about the school before it was added to the list - Rice University, as some may know, is in the heart of Houston, TX heh. That school was directly passed down from the grand professor Dr. K who expressed heart felt admiration for their program.)

Great Trip

Everything went very well on the trip to Oregon. There was nary a snowflake in the sky and none on the ground as we made our way both there and back. Got to see the new Bond movie, Casino Royale, and it was pretty good. Gotta love my families switch button fireplace. Flip on, ahhh that's nice, a little too hot? flip off, just right. It really was a wonderful time and they even got me the classic controller for the Wii. I can now use that for the virtual console games and Game Cube games :) let the good times roll.

But before they do, I must get applications finished up :)

Road Trip Christmas 2006

The weather looks fine today, sunny outside my window right now, which is not that surprising in beautiful California but something I welcome on the day we are to leave for Oregon, the land of wind and snow, or perhaps just snow and rain since I think Chicago has the wind thing covered. Sorry, that's Chi-town to you and me and everyone in the drum and bass community. The weather does seem like a God-sent, L and I were unsure of our holiday plans because there was some storm warnings over the pass and we do not have chains for the Probe. The reason for that being that the wheels are so close to the wheel well that they require a special cable system that runs somewhere around $250. The clouds seem to have parted and we will be off for lovely Eugene as soon as L gets off of work. Can't wait to see the family and have a lot of Holiday cheer, oh yeah, and the Wii is coming, too. It's looking forward to meeting the family as well.

It Begins

The new wave is here and, hopefully, it breaks the shore and finds an inlet. Applications are again upon me, I have what appears to be an almost final list of schools that I am applying to. I should post that up when it becomes definite. God has really been guiding me thus far, over a bit a rockiness and uncertainty, but I am back on track and ready to pour it on.

Rah rah enough for you?

Amazon Wish List

Had to put up a link to my Amazon wish list. Some really good things on there, and the list keeps growing. Which, in a certain light, isn't really true. The list hasn't really grown for at least several weeks. I guess I just have everything I have ever wanted and it's hard thinking up those little treats to add. I have a gorgeous and lovely wife, loving and supportive family, great friends, a job, a cool little apartment, hot water every morning, cool coffee machine and coffee whenever I want it, a Nintendo DS and Wii (wow I'm lucky), and computers (lucky again! I am sure that there are many who have none).

Well, I suppose Thanksgiving is already over and we are on our way to Christmas, but I could not help feeling thankful for all of these things and an unending list of things on top of this and to come.
