I decided to take a short break from working on my homework. I have a final project due tomorrow and I have been working on it all week. I took yesterday off with the intention that I would have it already done to relax and play FFXII but I ended up working on my homework from 10:30am till 6:30pm. I gave up after that and ordered pizza and played my game. Today I have made some pretty good progress though I have been testing it along the way. When I run it on my pc I have no issues but when I load it to the school server I get a really weird error when trying to run it. Not good.
I have the OSU/MI game on in the background and during a break there was a commercial for a movie. TK was talking to me and I made him stop because I saw a dragon on the TV. Yeah I am really that big of a dork. Well I found out that the movie is called Eragon. I was shocked. I read the book in the last year or two and the second book just came out earlier this year. So for them to make a movie this soon is pretty huge. I looked it up and John Malkovich and Jeremy Irons are both in it. Jeremy Irons must love dragons since I know he was also in the Oscar-snubbed film Dungeon and Dragons.
The movie comes out December 15th and the books are kind of geared towards kids but they are really entertaining. Should be interesting to see what they have done with this movie. Go check it out.

Not to shabby of a day

Overall the work day was pretty good. Then I had class tonight which I am currently in. I finished the lab in class early so I was able to complete the homework assignment that was due at midnight tonight during class. I didn't have much left to do but I was going to have to do it when I got home around 10pm. I also found out that this is my last class of this quarter which I had thought we still had one next week. Now I still have a final project due on a week from Sunday though I plan on spending much of Sunday working on it. I would love to be all done early. Then I am off until after the new year. You have to love the quarter system. So I believe if I finish my Final project early this week I am going to treat myself to a day off on Friday and play the new Final Fantasy all day since I have not had the opportunity yet.
I have a family wedding this Saturday which should be a blast since my whole family will be there and its in the City so no driving is necessary. Have a great weekend if I don't write till after.

Calling all Stair pushers



Work has been really crazy today but its 4:00pm and I feel like I accomplished a good amount. So instead of taken lunch I decided to play a game that I think Pablo sent out a few months ago. For a while we all tried to get the highest score and then started doing the reverse.
Here is my lowest for today. 143.
Not bad for my first day back in months. I have thrown down the gauntlet. Lets see who is up for the challenge.

Bates motel


I think I stayed at the original hotel that Psycho was based off of. I am travelling for work and currently at the airport on our way home. Down side is that its 1/4 to 3 and our flight was scheduled for 4:04 but the guy at check-in said its 1.5 hours late. So I have plenty of time to kill.
Back to the hotel. We all pulled in the parking lot and was shocked by what we saw. To continue the place had a strange smell. I took a picture of the burn hole that was in the bed spread on one of the twin beds. One of the guys I was here with was battling a beetle( I think it was a cockroach) in his room. Worst nights sleep I have ever had in a hotel. I guess this is what the customer that I work for had as their preferred hotel choice. I am guessing price had a big deal with it though it was not worth it at all.
