Warrior weekend warrior
Blech. I've been trying to do work all day, but my roommates and the television prove to be too much of a distraction. My Network Design assignment is actually coming along much more nicely than previous ones have. There's a chance I'll actually get a passing grade on this one!
Man, where are all the MSN people when you need them? Here I am, sitting at my computer, and there's nary a soul with which to converse.
I hung out with Sean for quite a stint last night. We went to the mall, browsing for euchre prizes. As usual, I came out empty handed (aside form some licorice). Well, the trip was well worth the McDonald's, as it usually is. Plus, it's always nice to get out of the house. We both went to the Warrior Weekend last night. I wanted to see the Magic/Comedy show. Unfortunately, I had already seen the magic act at a previous warrior weekend, and the comedian wasn't really that great. A lot of it was the piss-poor presentation by WW, as usual. Their audio system is never that good, and there was a band playing at the bomber that would occasionally muffle everything else.
I could have easily left after the not-so-entertaining acts, but we had run into Katie, Caroline, and Jordan before the show, and decided to talk with them afterwards. We got some free entry into the Campus Cove and played the same old games that they've always had. Jordan and Katie beat me in a game of pool, after I called the wrong pocket and scratched the eight ball. After THAT, I still could have left, but I figured that I could either go home and do nothing with people I see all the time, or stay and do nothing with people I don't see too often. We guarded the Cove until 2AM, when Katie and Caroline were done (they work at the Student Life Office and thus have to help at the events). I suppose some good conversation was had, but everyone was pretty tired by the end. Caroline was struggling to maintain consciousness most of the time.
I picked up Thurn and Taxis and 25 Words Or Less at J&J the other day. I haven't played either, but I'm expecting some good times in the future. I think we're going to get a game of Catan going tomorrow sometime. We were going to play the other day, but I couldn't get a hold of Sean, and Katie blew us off, so we didn't have a third or fourth. I really hope that between grocery shopping, Catan, and buying euchre prizes, I'm able to finish my assignments. I doubt it.
I got a new cell phone off of eBay. It's a Samsung, of some sort. It's certainly an upgrade from the junker phone I was using, and it's even unlocked so I can use it with anyone besides Rogers. I'm disappointed that I can't hook it up to my computer via USB. It's much easier to update the contacts list from a keyboard than a keypad. It would be nice to put some of my own ringtunes on, as well as taking any pictures off of the camera and on to my hard drive. Well, as long as it serves its purpose of being a cell phone, I'm happy.

Link of the moment... No full clubs listing? There had better be some good clubs at LU...

Dude, seriously? If you go to LU, I so want to visit for a weekend... seriously... I've never stayed in Thunder Bay that long and would like a weekend trip of some kind. Heck, even if the first night is just vidya gaming, I'm all good :)

What's your idea of a "weekend trip"? Driving isn't an option, it takes 14 hours each way. You could only possibly hope to take a plane, and even that sinks half a day into the generic airport waiting.
Otherwise, I'd be happy to give you a tour!

Thunder Bay is over rated
