Well you know what? *I* like it, and that's what matters.

Well, my car is fixed! It took six hours and $150 but my car now gets me to where I need to be.

I went to Cambridge with Andrew and Hugh the other day. Andrew needed to get some skipants for his skitrip, and the National Sports here didn't have what he needed, but they told him the National Sports in Cambridge could get him what he needed. While we were there, we went to the mall, where I got FFVI Advance from the EBGames. We also went to the fabled Bluenotes outlet that John always gets his three dollar t-shirts from. Shirts with so called "witty" slogans on them aren't my thing, but they were indeed cheap. Hugh picked up a $20 parka that I thought was very good for the price. Not only was it only $20, but they were also under the "buy one get one free" deal. Long story short, Hugh and I walked out with matching parkas (though his is black and mine is brown).

I got out to a movie with Caroline, from the euchre club, the other night. We went to go see Smokin' Aces. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and found it startlingly similar to Lucky Number Slevin in style. Of course, since Kevin Durand had a sizable part in the movie, I had to mention that he's from Thunder Bay. Good for him.

Oh yeah, funny story from the other night. Katie was coming over Monday night to watch Prison Break and Heroes (actually, she only stayed for Prison Break), so I offered to pick Caroline up to watch them with us (she watched Heroes as well). I went to go pick her up, and due to her living on a busy street (Columbia), and my inability to see house numbers quickly, I wound up parking my car a few houses down. I walked up to her house, which was pitch black, and remember that she told me that her entrance was through the garage. I opened the door to the garage, and it was pitch black inside. I tried calling her cell, and only got voice mail. I waited around a few minutes, hoping she'd come out, but she never did.

At this point, I figure the only thing I could possibly do to get in communication with her is to drive back home, and see if she was still at her computer. Unfortunately, she was not, so I verified that I had the right address (psh, who writes down addresses?), hightailed it back, and used my cellphone as a flashlight in the garage. It turns out that once you get a few steps in, the light turns on via a motion sensor. Luckily, she wasn't waiting around the whole time, but did some dishes in the meantime. All in all, a somewhat interesting and awkward sequence of events.

I had big plans to play through Shadow Hearts this week, but it seems that the TV is in heavy contention. Hugh also had the bright idea of killing the week with video games, and Andrew has his usual Smash Bros. stints. I'm only about 8 hours into the game, sadly. I really should be getting on that crypto assignment too. It's bothersome to think that my week off is half over. I'm not particularly looking forward to getting back to class.
