"Definitely, mostly not about the girl."

Long weekend, literally. After the absolute longest 3 day school week in history we finally got our homecoming weekend which so perfectly coincides with Halloween. Friday was Jesse's Halloween party, which was fun till it got broken up. Saturday I didn't do a whole lot. Slept forever till the airshow woke me up. Accomplished nothing the rest of the day as far as I can remember.

Finally Sunday. Dragged my ass out of bed around 11 to go take pictures of some of the airshow acts from on top of the College of Aviation building. Got some decent shots, wonky cloud cover made lighting a bitch. Overall the airshow was vastly disappointing. I feel bad for anyone who actually made the full $20 for admittance. It was mostly aerobatic and wing walking acts which, if you've seen one you've seen them all. Pity since the ramp was full of static military displays and we only got to see one military jet in the air.

Watching Constantine right now. Decent movie, funny lines actually. Too bad I had to go to IMDB to actually know what they said half the time. That can be mostly blamed on Riddle Vision's terrible sound quality.

EA's latest BF2 patch has finally reared its ugly head on the rest of the community. It seems I may be right about a long term issue with the patch since the forums are now alight with players reporting crashes and other general mayhem.

Lastly, as was the case with my former blog, all blog titles are quote from movies. Guess the movie if you dare, this one is insanely easy.

That's all, have a safe Halloween and be nice to the little kids.

Good lord its been a while since I touched one of these things. Myspace was without a doubt too much high school drama to use as a decent blog. Its not that I have a whole lot to say these days, just that its nice to have a place to turn to when I want to type something out publicly. Whether its a review, political rant, or just a general journal entry. That being said, lets get started.

The nice and expensive video card I bought this summer with my hard earned cash is overheating within 5 minutes of playing any of the latest games. The exact games I bought the video card to play. After cracking the case and checking things out the conclusion is that the thermal contact between the heat sink and the video card is bad. This means I have to get some thermal paste and apply it to the card between the heat sink and the card. Not something I'm looking forward to. Add to that Battlefield 2's latest errors and crashes which seem to be manifesting on more then just my own computer.

Speaking of Battlefield 2 (segway usage, 10 point bonus, w00t), a week or so ago EA announced a team competition for the game. The final winners will get $20,000 in prizes. Why does this matter in the least bit? Lately my squad (former roomates the German, and the Irishman, and then me) have been grabbing top scores in all the rounds we play. Too bad the team competition is 8 man(or woman if you wish) teams. Course, as I said, with the crashes and errors manifesting themselves in BF2 lately, who knows if we could even play the game for the tournament. I beleive its longterm problems related with the latest 1.03 patch.

Enough tech talk. Hurricane Wilma cancelled classes Monday. Daytona experianced rain and wind in the morning and just wind the rest of the day. The temperature dropped almost 30 degrees. It stayed low today, the temp didn't seem to exceed 60. Very cold when you're used to 80 at the least. The day off of class let me complete my Excell Project, just in time to get started on my next Tech Report Writing project. The scores for my math exam came back today as well. I scored 111% and was labelled a "curve breaker" thus earning me the hatred of anyone with a bad score. Undoubtedly the best score of any math exam I've taken...ever. The extra 11% will come in handy on later tests.

Finally, saw the Doom movie last weekend. For an action movie, its alright. For a movie based on a game, its actually pretty good. My major complaint is that "The Rock" is in it. He should be banned from movies for very obvious reasons. So basically, if you're bored and feel like an action movie, see Doom. Otherwise, avoid it at all costs.

That is all, maybe sketches in the next post.
