Gotta catch em all!

1. Pokemon progress
2. Work as of late
3. Lack of poker
4. Dungeon Siege 2
5. New bag and DVDs

1. Pokemon progress

Man, I love pokemon (the game). It's such a great waste of my time. Leveling up is very time consuming though. The pokemon I'm most proud of is my Beedrill. I need to get some grass and water pokemon though. Right now I'm outside the water gym, so some grass pokemon alongside my Pikachu would let me rip through that pretty quick.

2. Work as of late

I'm on my last legs of work. There's a lot of work that I probably could have done before I left if I put more effort into it, but either way I get paid the same, so Kaarlo can find someone else to go move heavy computers back to the board office.

I'm sick of not knowing what to say to people who ask what I'm going to do with my math degree, so from now on, I'm going to tell people that I'm going to be an air traffic controller. Lately, though, I picked up the idea of logistics. Logistics is perfectly in the field of the C&O degree I'm getting, so hopefully I can land a good position plotting out shipment routes some day.

3. Lack of poker

Out of the last five weeks, Ryan and his friends have only played once. Of course, I made forty bucks that night, so it looks like they picked a good week to do it. It doesn't look like they're doing anything tomorrow either. I played with Grant and Adam for cash on two different occasions. Grant won our duel, but I like to attricute it to him getting lucky with the cards. I beat Adam, although he was outplaying me most of the night. One all-in went my way and I got the upper hand on him.

4. Dungeon Siege 2

I downloaded the demo for Dungeon Siege 2 (it was 1.5 GB!), and it's a pretty fun single player diablo clone. It can be played multiplayer, but the single player game is more fleshed out. I've heard that if you want a diablo clone to play multiplayer with, Sacred is the way to go. Turner is supposed to come over tonight with his copy of Sacred so we can play, but I don't know how to contact him. I don't really know where he's living anymore. He's moving in with some friends in two weeks. I hope it works out for him.

5. New bag and DVDs

I went shopping with Turner last weekend, and wound up buying a bag at Bentley. It's an over the shoulder Roots bag. Hopefully I get used to it, and hopefully it's an improvement over carrying shit in my pockets and a backpack. I picked up some blank DVDs from Futureshop. They had a pack of 200 for $50, which is cheaper than I've seen any blank media before. Hehe, I've got 900 GB of blank space sitting in front of me. This has got to last me a few years, unless I decide to back up both my hard drive thrice over.

Two more weeks until Waterloo. I'm oddly looking forward to the drive down, because it gives me an excuse to play Pokemon and sleep for 14 hours. In a way, that's my vacation.

Listening to... Pennywise - Falling Down
Link of the moment... I'm trying to stock up on movies while I can rent them for a dollar each.
