15 minute update...

E, congrats on the Xbox. Halo is only really fun multiplayer. Hey, what's a shotgun for if not to chase your friends around with? *grins* Soon you'll be buying another TV, and more controllers... The cycle shall begin!

Finished with H.P. Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness. Doesn't seem all that scary to me. Like Shakespeare, Lovecraft has issues with overusing paritcular words. In this case, "strange," "aeon," "indescribable" come up very often indeed. If something _was_ indescribable, how come there are descriptions? Also, am not sure why sanity checks even occur in Call of Cthullu. I mean, faced with a Shoggoth or Old One, most DnD adventurers would just break out the heavy magic and let the damn thing have it. I don't find bizzarre organisms all that sanity threatening, do you?

Joyce essay is in its final stages. All is well on that front.

Nessa's happy, I'm happy.

Workload has ebbed because its the end of term. Took advantage of that to replay Homeworld 2. Harder than I remembered... Now I can either start studying or read more books. No surprise which I'd rather do...

Visited T & T's garage sale of "all the stuff we can't bring with us when we graduate. Bought $30 in books (am such a sucker), some household electricals and am thinking about a bed + desk + speaker set. Do I need $99 (Ebay for $170) 4.1 speakers?

Basically decided on a place to live from now on: at $440 a month it's dirt cheap, but kind of a dump. Whatever. Not the partying kind anyway. Cosy's all that matters.

Looking into research openings with the university. Hope to get involved while I still can. Crossing fingers. *grin* Speaking of which, hope exposure at tommorrow's faculty meeting when they give me the Levens helps in getting said research position.
