Ubuntu FTW
I've got nearly another hour of free time to kill on campus. My ENGL class got let out early, and my next class isn't until 2:30. I've already read the Imprint, and ate lunch. I can't really think of any websites to visit, or anything productive to do at the moment, so here I am at Blogger.
Well, my bike is fucked up. I can't really change gears anymore on the right gear clicker thingy. I'm hoping I can fix it with a little elbow grease. Speaking of grease, the bathroom downstairs is effing filthy. I got one of those things that turns the water blue and supposedly has bleach to clean the toilet, but it's already diluted and hasn't done a thing. I think I'm going to buy some heavy duty bleach and rubber gloves and beat the shit out of that bathroom with a sponge. Shower, counter, toilet, floor, everything.
Paper Mario is good times. It can get a bit repetitive, but it's cutesy enough to keep playing. I've still got DQVIII in the back of my mind once I'm done PM, but I think it's in my best interests to get a change of genre in there. I don't really know what to play (besides perhaps Unreal 2004 or counter strike). Maybe I've got to find a nice platformer for GC.
I went to EB the other day to inquire about reserving a Wii, but they said that they're not taking any pre-orders. I shudder to think of the massive crowd they'll get on launch date, because I've a feeling that it will be the big winner of the "next-gen" consoles (though I have reservations about saying that the Wii is in the same generation as XBox360 or PS3). Andrew maintains his prediction that I won't have any trouble finding a system whenever I want one, but I have a feeling they'll be mostly difficult to find until just after Christmas.
I anticipate this this term will be pretty hectic. Between my DE course which looks much more intensive than I thought it would be, my marking (oh yeah, they gave me a marking job rather than tutoring...bastards), my three regular courses, and my obligation to the euchre club, it looks like my four-course term won't feel as light as I'd hoped. So long as I stay on top of things, I shouldn't get tripped up over anything.
Well, I'm sort of getting sick of sitting in this lab, so I'm going to wander around campus for a while, making my way to my next class.
Listening to... The roar of students on campus
Link of the moment... Ah, I see.

I still say the Wii will not be successfull in north america. It seems just too odd for the general population to buy into
all the same, if I buy one of the next gen consoles it would probably be the Wii, just because I like Nintendo's own games like Zelda and Mario, and its unlikely those will ever come out for the PC, where as I wouldnt be surprised if most Xbox and PS3 games eventually make a PC based appearance

I guess I should add a plug for my favorite linux version du jour. That would be OpenSuse 10.1. The initial install is alot more customizable than ubuntu is. XGL is pretty too if your a UI eyecandy fan
