BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

Bada Bah Bah Bah, I'm lovin' it.

Disregard the title, I just needed to put something there because there is no true subject matter related to this post at all.

Anyway, yeah. Classes have begun! As have the horrors that come with them. Everyone has to have one of those "nightmare days," and mine just happens to be Tuesday. I get to wake up late, so that's a plus, however after I go to my 11:00 AM World Lit class, everything begins to flow downward in the toilet. At 12:15 I rush straight to Physics Lab/Recitation, and I've been paired with a group of...er...less than fully educated people that have no need to be in this class. So basically, this term has me doing work by myself. Lovely. However, my TA is pretty cool, as well as my professor, who happens to be from Scotland! Yay.

I can't wait until people stop going to their classes around the second week of school, because the walkways and buildings will become a tad less crowded to those loyal few that go to class every day.

And yes, I am striving very hard to be one of those constant attendees. Although, that may have something to do with the fact that I have to have no less than 3 absences in three of my classes, lest I get an "FA" [Failure for excessive Absences.] Plus my Chem professor will drop my lowest test grade if I come to class. Finally it seems that fate is working out in my favor, and that I will have an actual semester that WON'T SUCK!

Now, on to the entertaining stuff. Apparently the new PS3 Slim was revealed at a conference in Europe the other day. However, the one feature that I begged for, and that I know most other people wanted was not included: Backwards compatibility. Why Sony, why? If it's the fear of people buying PS2 games, why worry? They are still getting profits, and the E3 conference from this year showed many PS3 games that are a promising play. I wanna play my Metal Gear Solid 3 again, and my many other favorite PS2 games. Despite it being $299 USD, I'm still not going to get it. In my eyes, without the backwards compatibility [which every game system, Wii, 360, etc has] it's useless. I guess I'm just going to have to somehow convince my neighbor who has one of the first generation PS3s to sell his to me, seeing as he never uses it.

I NEED to find this book. None of the bookstores in my area seem to sell this amazing piece of literature. If you have not heard of it, then you should check it out. The fantastic movie Blade Runner is based on this book. I guess I'll have to resort to ordering it online.

I'm desperate for something to read. I can't find anything really good that pulls me in and keeps my attention. Lately, Sci-fi has been really dry as far as really entertaining new things. I've been feeling the need for some good science fiction, and have had to resort to nostalgic purposes to fullfill that hunger. Perhaps that is why the novel I'm working on falls into this genre. I'm placing everything into this novel that I desire in modern science fiction that I can't seem to be able to find: decent 3-D characters that have the plot revolve around them and their actions, not the other way around; not too science-y, yet not dumbed down with lack of research.

Yeah...rambling is good, very good.
