Evil Puzzle
Warning: Do not begin this puzzle if you would like to spend the next three hours doing something else. I've had sudoku puzzles on my mind ever since discovering them in Wikipedia (where you can find the solution to this one). Go »The U.S. Treasury Planned the September 11th Attacks

What are the most intense scenes that you can remember seeing in movies? I was just talking to someone about this, trying to remember movies with a lot of tension, the kind where you grip the armrests and clench your teeth and wait for relief. The Go »More Reasons to Be Glad I'm in Florida
First and foremost, our water/sewer and phone were disconnected in Macomb today. Kelly had spent the night at a friend's after seeing Lord of the Rings on Wednesday night and didn't even know until she got home from work today (Thursday). Go »Want to Go Boldly?
I'm probably being foolish to consider it at this point in time, but I have this terrible urge to get a Star Trek game going. I used to play them all the time back in the day with John Kiouressis and some other friends, but it's been 3-4 years since my la Go »

So it's the second week of the semester. Just like old times, I missed my first class because I took too long getting ready in the morning. That caused me grief, but at least I didn't miss anything. The second class was better. Last week I complained about that teacher condescending to us, like we didn't know how to expose our "true" selves in our writing and it was her job to help us. She told us today that after reading our first two assignments she has realized that we are "true" already, so she can get on to the good stuff. That gives me hope. The last class was a bit of a snoozer. We're reading The Odyssey; I mean, come on. But we talked about books and movies that we loved. I was asked why I love my favorite books and movies. I said that respect movies that are made well, but there are movies that are bad that I like even more because they're fun. I love Casablanca and Chinatown and Platoon and other great movies, but give me a Jackie Chan flick any day and I'm happy. That was fun to say. One more class tonight.
