Today was good. I updated the sites I manage, something I should have done a long time ago. I also was on the colexions international show and tell panel through google plus. It was fun. I showed off a bunch of TV on DVD sets I have. Uploaded my 1 hour podcast on being a picky eater. Now I'm doing a google hangout with ZeldaMaster93 watching Toonami. Later.

Today was an interesting day. I did laundry, nothing surprising there. I did my encoding of my hour long podcast, and it took all day to encode. I started encoding at 10 AM and it stopped at about 11 PM. Then at the Pokemon League, one of my friend's got a speeding ticket, and I found out I've been watching to much It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Why? Well he wanted a way to get out of it, and I suggested, with a level of seriousness, to break his speedometer and say "well I didn't know how fast I was going because my speedometer was broken." He then said "yeah but getting it fixed would cost more than the ticket and it's illegal to drive without a speedometer." That was a "gang" style plan from Sunny. Then during the game, we do a 6 player free for all, where everyone battles everyone. I have a wigglytuff that has a poke-power that "puts all active Pokemon to sleep." The idea is that for one on one, it puts you and your opponent to sleep, but for our battle, we interpreted that as "all 6 people's Pokemon are asleep," and I have a bit of a reputation of putting people to sleep. That was really funny. Later.
Oh, I also updated Opera, but instead of replacing the old version, it kept the old version in addition to adding the new one. I'm going to play around with that later probably. lol

Today was good. I had my classes. Kind of funny thing happened. In my logistics class, my professor asked "what's the best method of forecasting?" I just start laughing. Not out loud bust a gut, but chuckling under my breath and bending over to contain myself. The professor knows me a little, knows that I know my stuff and what not. He asks me what I thought and I just said "none, they all suck. I've tried every one of them, you just can't predict the future." Not exactly the answer he was going for, but he liked the idea. It was a little PTSD from my operations and productions class.

Well after class stuff, I filmed a 1 hour podcast on being a picky eater and why there's nothing wrong with it. 15+ years of repressed social stigma, longest podcast to date. Then at my film club we filmed future young adults react to a book. That was fun. Later.

2/24/15

Today was pretty typical. I had my purchasing and logistics classes. I got my allergy shot. I also skyped my brother, and that was fun. Later.

2/23/15

Today was pretty good. The main thing I had was a presentation for my senior project. We got the green light to continue. Didn't do much else after. Later.

2/21-22/15

Today and yesterday was quite fun. My mom and her best friend came up to visit her friend's son and I at college, her friend to see a hockey game, and for mom and I to see Spongebob Sponge out of Water. Read the review here. I did the safe ride service on saturday night. It was crazy. We got stuck in a snow drift. I got out to push and fell in the snow. I eventually got behind the wheel and aggressively rocked us out of the drift. Then I ended up working until 5 AM with that. Oh, and my suit mates decided to be loud at 11 AM, so I'm tired. Today I went out to linner with the whole group, and had riblets at Applebies. They were good. Now I'm watching The Oscars. I'm going to do a thing, probably a podcast. Later.

2/19/15

Today I was able to abstain from meat. Yay. I had my purchasing and logistics classes. I worked on my senior project. I had my film club meeting, and it was equipment night, where we show off and demonstrate how to use our equipment. Everyone has their fancy DSLR cameras with different lenses, and I show off my webcam I got from mycokerewards. They're like "here's now you control white balance, and here's the difference between the lenses, and how you control exposure, etc," and I'm just like "this is my webcam, it takes decent quality video, it works directly with my web cam software, it has LED lights that add more lighting if needed." Later.

OK, today I feel like a bad Catholic. It's Ash Wednesday for those of you who don't know; no meat and go to church, start of Lent so also give up something. Well I failed the first 2. Today was a bit hectic though. I had to get a thing turned in for my senior design, and it took way longer than it should have, mainly because I had to get so many signatures. What should have taken an hour max ended up taking 6 hours. Anyways, when I got back to my dining hall at 6:30, I had my cheeseburger because I was quite hungry. Well then I saw people with ashes on their foreheads. I suddenly realized I missed Ash Wednesday mass AND just ate meat. Well, I'll pray and not eat meat tomorrow. When I screw up the meat thing during lent, I abstain from meat the next day when I can eat meat just because I screwed up the first time. Later.

Today was good. I had management and logistics, and they were fine. After those I hung out in my dorm for a couple hours. I watched Cherrybomb on Hulu, and it was, well, read my review here. It was intended to be a bitlanders blog, but it ended up being a full blogger blog. Now for you special blogger people. As you may or may not know, I filmed a series of lets plays with my friends the saint and sudden for Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. 2 weeks ago we finished the game. Well two of the unlockables is being able to play with a Henry Jones Sr. skin and a Han Solo skin. I spent 3 hours watching and reading artifact walkthroughs to get enough hats to unlock both. Tomorrow we're going to film 2 bonus parts, one as Henry and one as Han. Then we'll film our next series, but you'll see that in months. Later.

2/14/15

Happy Valentine's Day. I didn't do anything special for Valentine's. I skyped my parents and did safe rides home. It was fun. I ended up giving one of my friends a ride home, and it it was really funny. My partner and I played "cash cab" with him, ask him some trivia questions and see what he says. Later.

2/12/15

Today I had yet another career fair. This one was more general than the ISM one with more companies and more skillsets. I did all my searching and networking for an engineering internship. If time permitted, I would have spoken with one of the investment firms about how I'm doing with my bitcoin investments. Unfortunately the fair ended before I was able to do that. I was able to talk with one of my interested company recruiters about bitcoin with the "what do you like to do for fun" question, and he knew a little about it. That was cool. I also had my film club that night. We did a lets play and I worked on the details of one of my short ideas. Later.

2/11/15 Where have I been

OK, so it's been over a week since my last post. Basically losing my grandma turned my world upside down and I wasn't in a blogging mood. Things are back to normal though. I had a job fair tonight. I spent the entire day prepping for it, running over what questions I thought the recruiters would ask and how to answer them. It went really well. A lot of them seemed really interested and the most interested company is not terribly far from home. I also filled out some paperwork for my senior design/honor college thesis and got that turned in. Later.

2/2/15 Another Angel Joins the Heavens

Today we had a snow day, and that was really good considering the situation. Today, February 2nd, my grandma passed on. It was rather sudden, and it hit like a freight train. I was sitting at my computer, and I got the call. Mom asked me where I was, I told her my room, and she gave me the news. After that, I cried loudly for at least 30 minutes strait, then sobbed for 10 minutes. It was a hard day. It was just hard. Nothing really else happened today. Later.

2/1/15

Today was snowmagedon here. I had church, and that was a trek. Mass was rather empty because of the snow and superbowl. After church, I went back to my dorm and played Pokemon Omega Ruby. Then it was time for the super bowl. I watch the commercials. My favorite is probably the snickers one.


Why this one, because I like the justaposition between Danny Trejos and the Brady Bunch. Also, we had our 3rd armed robbery on campus this school year. Expect a catholiccontriversy video on it tomorrow. Later.
