Still Hanging In There

Gaming, General, Movies

Well I see that it has been quite some time since I last updated ye olde blog. I have been busy working on other things and really haven’t had a whole lot to chat about. But now it’s November and we are heading into the final quarter of 2004, a year that will live in gaming infamy. So many new games are coming out that it is impossible to afford list them all.

Last week I mosied down to the cheapo dollar movie theater to check out Spiderman 2. I was thoroughly impressed. That is a must-buy when it comes out on DVD. By the way I am seriously behind on my movies. Some awesome ones came out this year. I will make it a goal to see The Incredibles before I forget because that sounds like one awesome movie.

Well that about wraps up the interesting stuff that has been going on. I am working on a new website and as soon as I can get it to the point of not sucking I might use it instead of this fine blog.

More School

General, School

Well it’s that time of year again. I am back in school and taking what I consider to be a rather boring set of classes this time around:

  • Math 1060 – Trigonometry
  • Business 1050 – Business and Society
  • Physics 1010 – Physics for Dummies Introduction to Physics

Today I took my first test in Physics. It was kind of easy. Trig is a right pain, on the other hand. Business is all right, but kind of uninteresting.

Harry Potter Book Six

General

I promise I won’t be talking about this so much that I have to create a Harry Potter category, but I just noticed elsewhere that the title of the sixth Harry Potter book has been revealed:

I was delighted to see that a hard core of super-bright fans knew that the real title was once, in the long distant past, a possibility for ‘Chamber of Secrets’, and from that deduced that it was genuine. Certain crucial pieces of information in book six were originally planned for ‘Chamber of Secrets’, but very early on (first draft of Chamber) I realised that this information’s proper home was book six. I have said before now that ‘Chamber’ holds some very important clues to the ultimate end of the series. Not as many as six, obviously, but there is a link. …

Now we just have to see if she can get the book out in a timely fashion. Let the hype and anticipation commence.

Summer

Doom, General, Movies

Wow, summer is here already. That’s neato.

I finally got to see the new Harry Potter movie, if you’ve read my review (see below). I was really tired when I wrote it, so it may not make a lot of sense, but hopefully it conveys my opinion that it really is an awesome movie. I was reading an article at Salon.com written by the cinematographer. Some really hard work went into that film.

In other news, my news script is coming along. I am going to be working on the news part of it next, followed by the comments. It is still quite a ways off, but I hope to get it scraped together enough to do a public beta-test. Something I am worried about is the speed of the MySQL server and PHP. We’ll just have to see what kind of optimizing we can do when we get that far.

Lastly, Doom 3 coming out August 3rd? Yes, please.
