Great thoughts of Fleeting substance

Tada! New personal best at my 3-mile time. I'm all excited. Especially considering I haven't run in about 3 weeks. Holiday and all. I'm at 33:45, now. Less than 10 minutes away from my goal time. Which sounds like a lot, but considering that I've already trimmed off over 6 minutes from my first runs, I think I'll get there eventually.

I. Am. Terrified. Classes start this week. I believe I've established that I hate my classes, and it's been absolutely wonderful to have all my not-work-time to myself again. But that all ends this week.

Know what I reckon classes to? Hitting yourself in the face for 6 hours every week. Plus homework. 'What? Done with work? Feel like relaxing? Oh, heavens no. You have to do something that you find emotionally draining and physically painful for hours and hours tonight. And as soon as you're done, you get to sleep and then go back to work! Aren't you lucky?' Bloody hell. I hate classes, and now I have to do this fools task once again.

I'm trying to get other people to do classes, too. Know why? Because I hate people, that's why! I want them to share in my mysery! Suffer, all you fools! Know the torment and burden that I have carried all these years. And if you fail, you have to pay for the class! Mua ha ha haaaa! Suffer! Suffer!

Blegh....I feel better.

Well asside from < vomit > classes, it's been all about the video games this past week. I've been playing Vampire: Bloodlines on the PC and I've been getting in my games for the Xbox, too. I'd say the Xbox has a slight edge on the PS2 in graphics, but just by volume, there are a lot more PS2 games I'm glad I've played then there are ones for the Xbox. I bought four games, and that will *certainly* keep me busy at *least* to the end of the semester.

My christmas present to my mom this year was the next two chapters of my story. I'm going to go over and update my webpage with them soon as I'm done here.

Go here for that.

Then pay some bills, start the dishwasher, go to church, and shop for food on the way home. Yeah, I got a plan. I'm all over this.

My ionic filter has been sitting on the floor, near-silently churning through the air for a week now. I wiped it off and...uh...eew. Yeah. Eew. Granted, there wasn't a *ton* of nasty ass black soot all over the rag when I was done, but any volume of that stuff is something I'm glad to see not in my air anymore. Course, this isn't to say that it removed the 'majority' of polutants in the air, but considering that it's been raining all this week, I'm pretty impressed. Besides, any volume of black nasty crap is pretty near the top of my list of 'things I'm glad aren't in my lungs'. This list also includes nicotene, ether, and a hamster.

Need to get some AAA batteries, too. Just a note to myself, I don't expect anyone else to find this fact *riveting.*

And....that's it. Yeah. Go team. Rah.
