cheers for technology, boo to apples

Well, my cell phone is still comfortably alive and still being receptive. Hooray for me. Now I never did like apples, the eating kind or the computers. Macs haven't excatly been my bestest of friends this year, and I have been quite introduced to them this year. Being raised on PCs for a long time, I never did like it when i found out that Macs have only one mouse button (no right clicking for easy shortcuts) and no floppy drive. They have zip discs which are basically beefed up versions of floppies. Except they cost more. Now really, when do you have to transport mammoth-size documents from one comp to the next. See?

I just finished my PowerPoint presentation for tomorrow on getting the entire story. I expect it to be interesting and hopefully good. I am supposed to be questioned on it afterwards. That will be fun. Except not. November ends in a few minutes and the college students can start to see the finish line for classes. And a lot of them really do need for the finish line to come soon. It's been a rough semester for a lot of people I know. (basically eveerybody) A fresh start will be great for everybody.

Two more weeks

OK, it's sad when I'm staring right at the fun being over for a while. But that is what I'm lookin at for this week anyway. Lots of busy work to do, and really not looking forward to doing any of it. But at least I know that school is almost over.

Don't say you're bored

I'm feeling good that this weekend I have absolutely nothing to do. No 10-page research paper to do, nobody to call for stories, nothing with the Rocket, nothing with sports, nothing with WRSK, zippo. So what am I going to do with my free time. Probably a lot of nothing, definitely a lot of sleeping, and who knows what else. Lately, I've been looking a lot at video games and I must say Metal Gear Solid 3 looks alright. I'm a big MGS fan and I definitely have to get the last installment of the series. Getting back to the original point of time, I must say that I can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas is now just around the corner. With the calendar being quirky and me getting out of school a few days later than I normally or should have, I wouldn't have much time to think about Christmas. Which is probably just as well, considering I only go shop about 1 day a year anyway. By the way, I wrote an anti-gay marriage op-ed about a month ago, and in the last three issues there's been a letter concerning that. My feature writing professor today said, "Greg, look what you've started." The discussion went on for 15 minutes and was a pleasant change from the mental wasteland that is usually the case with that class.

A new record

Again, it took me a while to write in here. I scheduled last Friday. Apparently, I didn't have the fun my sister had. It took me 10 minutes and I got every class except one. Again, I am taking 15 credits, because 18 is insane. Also, I got done with my pages (Meaning, completely finished and set to print at 11:30 P.M. a fantabulous new record of awesome acheivement. The sports pages have been spectactular in my opinion over the past two weeks, probably two of the best sections I've ever done in a year and a half of this job. So now, it's on to Thanksgiving and eating. And maybe updating this some more.

Feeling good

OK, I haven't been here for a few, but there's been bigger things for me to deal with. Such as doing basically 2 sports sections this week, a regular sports and then a winter sports preview with a doubletruck (That's 2 pages wide but has no offical fold, like one big page)But now that's over. And that's not too shabby.

Let's go inside

Here's something you may not know. The weather at SRU is really awful, especially right about now. Why? Because it's November and that means winter is just about here. And if winter is like it was the past 2 years, I'm in for a treat. Just get this. Last year was actually worse than the year before (Which had I believe at least 2 weeks where the temperature on my computer stayed below 20 degrees) Oh, it can definitely be bad. But at least the dorms have heaters that work so so well. Whew, what a relief.
The other main point to this is that football is over and that gets a big thumbs up from me. When you are shaking during halftime and the postgame press conference, it's time to go in. Now I get to cover the disaster that will be the men's basketball team. This is probably the last chance I will have as sports editor to cover a team that goes to the playoffs. Make it good.

It's Thursday. So why are you so happy?

The answer to that question is this. No paper this week. Which means heavily increased time getting reacquinted with Madden NFL 2005. Let the fun begin. Chase is getting more heavily frustrated with his lack of ability to beat me in MVP Baseball 04 or Madden. Last night after dinner, me and him battled in an epic 14-0 drubbing by me of him which resulted in him turning the game off before it was over and deciding we were playing Madden. As the Ravens he was actually beating me, the Browns, 14-13 in the 2nd quarter when he had to quit. The gf was calling him. I'm going to enjoy today and its relaxedness.
Hey, Bush won, that made a lot of people happy. Except not so much. When people have away messages up about it, not so good.

Oh man, you guys

Lots going on this past week. Today is election day and I went and voted. Hooray for me. Tonight should be a very interesting night for the election. I would love to see a network biff on a call again. That would be hilarious.
