A History of Crazy and Cool
My apologies for the lack of Friday Snippet. Things have been incredibly crazy this past week with University.
A Brief History of Crazy
I have five novel chapters due today for my thesis.
My project in Writing for New Tech - the HALO 3 and gender project - is due this week.
My project for Technical Writing is due this week.
I still need to observe two more Comp. 1 classes for my Composition theory class.
Graduation is coming up in May and I have to pay and start the process now.
Application deadlines for Grad School are all in January, so I'm starting that process as well.
A More In-Depth History of Cool
First, I am pleased that you guys like to geek. Assassin's Creed is being released on November 13 for the PS3 and th XBox 360, courtesy of the same guys who brought you the pleasure of the Prince of Persia games. I think the thing I enjoy about what I've seen so far for AC is the fact that Altair doesn't seem to show much of his face and hasn't spoken once in a trailer that I've seen. See any similarities? I should probably do a post about my fascination with the Heroes with No Name and the Heroes with No Face. It's fascinating. I promise.
Second, my parents came up to the Rock for the weekend and we went down to the River Market where we saw jugglers, pipers, an antique carshow, and a parade which included Darth Vader, Batman, Superman, an Imperial Storm Trooper and a Jedi. It was overwhelming in its level of cool. I have pictures and promise to post them.
Third, I managed to play some of the most amazing team battles in my HALO experience this past Saturday and Sunday mornings while everyone was either asleep or in church. I have pictures and some incredible video, but I'm setting up the clips for optimum coolness. It will accompany my Friday Snippet this coming Friday, so prepare to have your socks rocked.
Fourth, I'm leading a workshop at my University for the next two weeks. I am thrilled.
Lastly - my marine-friend is safe. His brother talked to his mother who, in turn, passed the word on to us. Matt had to spend a few nights on the tarmac near the smoke, but he is safe We say thankee.
So say we all.

I haven't read the Time Traveller's Wife yet, but it's on my to be read list. (Which is very long...) It does sound like a good one.
I was thinking back about it, and I'm not sure how many of my geek blog posts made it to my Blogger blog. They may have all gotten stuck over in Live-Journal-land instead. I'll just have to post more I guess, right? :)
I'm glad to hear your friend is safe and sound. Good vibes going out to him.
I love the nameless hero. I think it's where my thing for Clint Eastwood came from.
