Beyond Occident

Just thought I’d let everyone know about Science Debate 2008. They are trying to organize a debate for all the candidates based on science and technology, all rather important topics for our country’s future. They need your help: If you support the debate, sign the petition on their site! And tell your friends too.

Good news everyone. I finished part 1 of 3 on my Legend of Zelda resolution. On Friday, I beat Ocarina of Time. I must say, the ending was such a buzzkill. And the final boss was so easy.

Ah well, it’s still one of the greatest games ever in my opinion.

I previously had this posted to my ’2008′ goals

3. Became a master Photoshop ninja (and by Photoshop, I mean Gimp, because ya know, I can’t afford Photoshop).

I changed my mind. I decided I am happy enough being a Photoshop peon. Maybe I’ll change it to be a intermediate Arabic speaking ninja. Speaking of Arabic, I got the text book today and it is awesome. It goes back cover to front cover like a real book of the Arabic origin. How neat-o.

And now that I’ve gone wildly off topic, I realized that every school year (or now school semester, since classes change every .5 year in college) I have one class that I really dread going to. Last semester it was Spanish. My senior year of high school it was every class except Visual Arts. This semester I have a feeling it’s going to be communications.

I’ll keep you posted.

Funny thing happaned today. I got on my Xbox and realized that a few months ago, I had downloaded Carcassonne for free from the Xbox Live Arcade. At the time, I really knew nothing about it. I never actually played it. Fast forward a few months and my brother recieved it for Christmas. I played it and thought “Wow, what a neat game!”. Well, it was quite the surprise when I realized I owned it already. It translates quite nicely into Xbox-land too.

Fantastical news. 2008 starts off fantastic as I finally got my flickr feed to work on the right sidebar. So everyone can check out my pictures from my new z1275. Rejoice!
