Ok, I've played around with it for a while and I'm not finished. But, I think I am happy enough with it at the moment to go ahead and give the link.

So, go here for my new blog.

I'm hoping to soon start transferring my archives. Hopefully, I will be able to get help with the template relatively soon.

Well, I have a new blog. Unfortunately, you will not be getting the link until I find the time to play around with the template and get all of my old stuff over to the new site.

The point of this point is just so everyone knows why I probably won't be posting for a while.

Wow. This is truly an interesting couple.

So, the husband found out that his wife was cheating on him by going to a smut website? I wonder which started first.


And speaking of interesting, here is a fun little game where you have to decide if a title is from a Jack Chick Tract or a Dirty Movie!

If you had to describe the past few days with a single word, what word would you choose? I know my choice.

Blah.

That's right. These past few days have just been one big "blah" after another. Calculus III homework, Circuits II homework, Gen. Biology II homework, and all sorts of applications have taken up the majority of my time. Seriously, how do these things always get piled up like this? Sunday night was extremely stressful, and Monday has just been a very long day. To top it all off I may be getting sick. Again. I am going to be extremely pleased when I crawl into my bed in a few minutes.

These past few days haven't been all bad, though. I have decided that I will be going to China this summer with Camp China. That is, of course, if they accept my application. Over the weekend I managed to secure both of my references for the application. Unfortunately, I am going to have to ask one of them for a separate reference letter so that I can apply for LSM funds from LeTourneau. Argh.

Another thing I am happy about is that a committee has accepted a paper of mine and I will be presenting it at the C. S. Lewis conference at LeTourneau in April. From the sound of the email Dr. Solganick sent me, he may still need papers to fill time slots. Even if that is the case I am still happy that I get to present a paper I worked on for a long time. Unfortunately, I now have to fine tune and format the paper so that I can read it aloud easily. That shouldn't be too hard. However, since this might be presented to a good number of people, the perfectionist in me is going to be screaming at me up until I actual give the presentation. I can't complain about that, though. I knew what I was doing when I submitted the paper.

Anyway, I'm crawling into bed now. Maybe I'll ramble more tomorrow.

After a rather interesting discussion of the quality of the Star Trek genre tonight at dinner, my roommate and I have compiled the following list. Please check his blog for the complete story of the events.
Please feel free to add to the list.

Excellent Ways to Piss Off a Trekkie:

"Oh yeah, I know Star Trek. That's the movie with the little green dude, right?"

"You know that chick with the telepathy? Wasn't she the princess of a planet that was destroyed?"

"I couldn't believe when they froze Spock in that carbonate stuff!"

"Remember the episode with the wookie?"

"I loved the ships in that series! The TIE Fighters and X-Wings were gorgeous."

"William Shatner was a horrible actor!"

"Captain Kirk was the worst Jedi ever! All he ever did was make attractive women go insane long enough to sleep with him."

Test #2 gave me an answer which surprised me.

What Famous Leader Are You?

Test #3 just shocked the hell out of me. I mean, who would watch this movie and think of me?

As you read the following, please remember that I did not see all of the Super Bowl. I missed the entire third quarter (as well as the half time show) and I did homework while the rest of the game was playing. Enjoy.

Overheard quotes from Super Bowl commentators:

"This is a guy that nobody knows nothing about."

"He is the type of player who always wants positive yards."

"These coaches should have come and asked me...I might eat these words later, but I doubt it."

" 'I sure as heck didn't go over everything, because if you go over everything you confuse the defensive players.' " -- quoting a defensive coordinator

"I'm not gonna overstate this, but that's big stuff."

"A touchdown is huge."

"He went to [college] as just an athelete, not even knowing what position he was going to play."

Motto of the Carolina Panthers according to a reporter interviewing the coach:

"Run the ball, and stop the run."

::Awkward silence::
