Air Zoo

The desire of the mouths of Hydra
to the Air Zoo with heart of a sweeting.


Biked (for probably the last time this year) to Barnes & Noble and bought Othello. This semester is itching to be done with.


"Reputation is an idle and most false
imposition: oft got without merit, and lost without
deserving"
-Othello, Act 2 Scene 3

Othello

If after every tempest come such calms,
May the winds blow till they have waken'd death!
-Othello: Act 2, Scene 1

But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For daws to peck at: I am not what I am
-Othello

Been addicted to this song recently: "Stuck in a groove" by Puretone:
"There's no doubt that I am afflicted
I'm totally obsessed
And I will admit it
Oh no, I'm not high
But I'm very much addicted to the music I like "


I have started reading Othello by Shakespeare. We will see how far I can get in the book before school starts back up. I have to hand it to Shakespeare for the clever and drawn out explanation of ideas.
Played Risk: 2210 A.D. with the typical group of gaming buddies. I attempted a new strategy of nuclear Holocaust (go for all the nuclear cards and then pull out the Armageddon card). I could have won with the strategy, but I stopped attacking 1 country short (and I had plenty of guys to continue attacking). Right before I played Armageddon, I did a mod reduction. After, my friend played like 5 nuke cards, then I played all my 10 nuke cards. I took out almost the majority of Asia, killing one player off. I completely finished off South America (because it was closed off due to the opening 8 nuked countries, yes we play with more nukes :D). The strategy works if you have a secure location to build troops, and collect cards. Playing defense until the end of the seconded to last turn allows a build up of troops, cut down the amount of troops on the board drastically of other players, then sweep through the board on the final year.


Changing topics: Thanksgiving was yesterday. Fun times, intense ping-pong, and finished with a spectacular showing of Iron Man in our amazing "theater" setup. I have a bucket for free popcorn at Celebration cinema, and since my sister loves movie popcorn, I went up to get her a bucket. Usually they don't check tickets before getting to the concession stand. However, this time there were, and I was like..."crap". I ended up going up and asking the person checking tickets if I could go get my popcorn, and they said yes! Thus my sister got to enjoy some movie popcorn. Got to love your big sisters, or else!

Cheers :)

I know I know I know!

Pick me pick me pick me!

Yes? *points at young lad jumping enthusiastically*

I'm done with my project and it works!

There have been many thought provoking ideas I wanted to share this past while. Unfortunately my mind has been consumed with digital design that I don't even remember. For those who have seen/talked to me recently or moreover, just met, it probably appears that I am a single tracked insensitive person. Something along those terms at least. Maybe it's time to sleep. Sleep is a good thing. Or at least it is now.

Cheers.

Bode Plots

I'm sitting in class.   Going over Bode plots.  Fun.  ish.

Gmail got a facelift.  Pretty cool.  Maybe I should focus.

Hate is a strong word

I hate when people assume the more work you put into a class, the more you learn. Whoever first started that notion doesn't understand the basic concept of saturation. There is a point where spending more time does not equal more knowledge. This is a fundamental problem with the way education has become. It's no longer about learning, it's about just following instructions from a professor, monkey see - monkey do. \
If you have not picked up the tone yet, I'm frustrated. I want to learn, but a professor is piling way too much work. ugh

Scramjettttszz

A ride on a scramjet would be amazing.  Just throwing it out there.   I mean, how many other people have travelled faster than mach 17 or so?

And while I'm distracted from my hw (aka my mind needed a metal break) , dinner was grrrrreat last night.  I still had a bunch of hw to do, so I multi-tasked doing hw and listening to people while attempting to play games.  Ok...too much time has been allotted, time to get to class.
