Two years already

Short entry - thinking about my brother.  He passed away two years ago today and it just doesn't feel like it has been that long.  I miss him.

Comps are DONE

Took my comprehensive exam on Saturday.  Feel pretty good about 2/3 of the exam.  It is split up into three sections and I need to get 70% on each section to pass that section.  I feel really confident about the first and third section, but am not even remotely confident about the middle one.  I hope I did enough to pass.  I don't really care if I get 70% or 90%, I just want to hear "YOU PASSED THE EXAM".  I will know in about three weeks.  So for now, since there is nothing I can do about it, I am going to focus on other things as best I can.

Tired, stressed and overwhelmed

Was up way too late last night trying to beat Flirtin' With Disaster in Rock Band on Hard.  It is the last song that I need to get the achievement.  Last night I finally got to where I was nearly out of the solo where I have consistently failed at around 75% complete.  I got to 83% last night so I know I am close and eventually I will get there.  But an hour straight of nothing but that song...Aaargh!

Pre-Ordered GTA Special Edition today

Yeah, I know - that is a ton of $$$ but I liked the extras...especially the safe deposit box and the music CD.  Good think I won't get it tho until after I take comps or my future could be derailed.  This is really the only game coming out at the moment that I really want to add to my video game library.  Hope it doesn't take me as long to finish the game as it did for GTA San Andreas.  Looking forward to the improved visuals.

OMG - Heat Wave this weekend

It is frigging APRIL and yesterday it was 95 degrees and today was I think 97!!! - both records for this area on these two dates. If you have read my blog entries, you may know I am close to finishing up graduate school with my comprehensive exams in two weeks. I got some studying done yesterday, but today was just too hot and I was drained after yesterday studying in the heat.

Interesting commentary going on in the OFF TOPIC forum

Been watching and reading the couple of threads related to personal freedoms, video games ratings and underage gamers (under 17) playing M rated games. One of my all time favorite movies is V for Vendetta. I own the DVD and the Audio Book which is on my iPod. That movie has quite a message on sensorship and control by the government based on fear. I love the line: "People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of it's people" How true.
