rushed
cessna182 the same thing about his quest to try and reach me over the past couple of weeks). Warm thoughts and the like to them both in his cold time in Montana.I know I'm supposed to be boycotting Kingdom of Loathing, and luckily their holiday festivities have failed to entice me the way that I know WoW's will. Crass consumerist gold-grubbing goblins!
I'd like to thank a few people for making a major change in my life. First off is
cessna182 for laying the initial seeds. Even Toby saw the virtue in his actions, though he might have been going for the milk instead. petemagyar's embracing of the lifestyle helped, but not as much as periol's total devotion to it. While periol claimed that I was instrumental in changing his life into the current good times he presently lives, his worship at the temple was not lost on me. Ultimately, I would be amiss in not thanking graye with some credit. While he fictionally opposed the bliss, his pushing of the addiction while left at his whims was the final push I needed to make it a daily part of my life. madolan's chiding at not sticking to the program while I was visiting Victoria also did not fall upon deaf ears. Thank you, thank you all.And now, that year in review stupid meme thing, just because
i_hate_sterno: - January: I have ten hours of Metal Mania, five hours of South Park, four hours of Sopranos, an hour and a half of Blind Date (for petemagyar), three hours of Da Ali G Show, an hour of Family Guy, an hour of Futurama, and two hours of Iron Chef... all at my command.
- February: ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF madisonwi: jenniever AND I WILL BE THERE FIRST WEEKEND OF MARCH IF WE CAN GET OFF FROM WORK AND FIND A PLACE TO STAY AND ALL THAT!
- March: Tomorrow after work, jenniever and I depart on our wideathtrip to madisonwi.
- April: Funniest pranks so far...
- May: There's kickass new maps for Halo 2.
- June: Between the selling of permanent accounts cheapening everything and the updated draconian TOS, I've had it with LJ.
- July: The crazy Canucks haven't eaten me yet.
- August: Well, this is a far less violent Iron Maiden environment to explore.
- September: I've seen a few of you plug it already, but if you're interested at all in how things are going in New Orleans, you should read interdictor.
- October: Pete's father has passed away More details in another post tonight.
- November: Stolen from miscca, one of the people I hope to see during Year of the E-Friend as it winds down.
- December: First person who replies to this is mentally insane and needs to get professional help.
The semester wraps up. Tomorrow morning I have to turn in a 5-10 page econometrics paper drawn from the project I gave a presentation on this past Monday, and then take a final for that class. The project? Trying to determine if higher paid student helpdesk employees do more while on desk, trying to see if people who do more are paid more (a different question in a way), and attempting to find statistics to prove senioritis and burnout. My findings? Students who are paid more get more done, but the highest contributing factor to getting paid more is to have been around
drewuniversity longer. While senioritis is hinted at, it fails to be statistically significant, while burnout is correlated by the data quite strongly. Sure, my data isn't perfect, but explaining its shortcomings is a major part of the project and thus excellent filler for the paper. Then on Monday I've got a calculus final, a corrected paper (that I'm done with) and a second paper (that I'm almost done with) to turn in, and a 5-8 minute extra credit presentation to do. After that, I'm free until February!
