I bought a game. It’s been over a month.

Seriously guys, where is it?

So I took the zombie survival quiz. I got a Z+, which apparently means that I am well suited for such an eventuality.

I’m fairly mechanically inclined, I know how to shoot weapons, and I have no problems leaving other humans to die. Funny how that works out.

If you want to take the quiz, it’s over at http://www.newsandentertainment.com/zFzombiequiz.html.

Thinking digitally has a great post about what it means to have a CS Degree. Unfortunately, the degree I’m getting from Frostburg is a ‘java’ degree, but Poly was a C++ school, and I knew C before I knew either Java or C++, so I think I’m spared from too much idiocy.

So Joelle and I have this grand vision which involves moving to Austin, buying a whole bunch of land, and building a house.

I’ve been prototyping house design in the Sims 2 - which provides a fairly accurate representation of both our relationship, and how utterly ridiculous my life is.

So I stayed up with my girlfriend for the 12:01 showing of Dark Knight at the IMAX theatre in Dulles.

As an aside, the air and space museum out there is gorgeous. The road leading up to it could easily be used as a drag strip. The huge glass building stands tall out of the flat expanse of the landscape, and they’ve got all sorts of stuff inside (including a SR-71 Blackbird, Space Shuttle Enterprise, and The Enola Gay).

Anyway, this post is about Dark Knight. Dark doesn’t even begin to describe this movie. It has almost no redeeming points for anyone. You have to go see it - it’s most definitely the best superhero movie made to date. The villians are creepy, the batman is batty… it was very satisfying, despite its darkness.

This is a movie that could not have been made at any other time than now. Does that bother me? A little. Not too much, though. It’s almost like it was worth it.

I wonder what villians are going to be in the next one. Out of a pool of: Poison Ivy, Penguin, Killer Croc, Freeze, Catwoman, Clayface, Riddler, and the Ventriloquist.

My guess: Killer Croc and Catwoman. We’ll see.

At the theater, there was a guy sitting near me who was very loud. Someone came up to him and exclaimed that he was the biggest jew he’d ever seen. I was about to interject when the man agreed, then said his measurements: 6′4″ 310lbs. I was officially not the biggest jew in the room.

You should have seen my smile.

Well, I’ve gotten around to designing a new blog again.

I suppose I should keep it updated more often. I found a cool IRC client called Quassel - it essentially acts as both a bouncer and a client, keeping state between sessions and keeping your connection persistent. 

Does anyone want to buy a hyundai?

I turned 22. I had a lan-birthday party. It was great.

Now I have a new computer, too. Because my old one broke.

Anyone need some ddr?

The girlfriend has me watching all the back episodes of lost.

Damnit.

Stealing my productivity!

I’m definitely keeping myself busy this summer. In addition to the three-to-four jobs I’ve picked up, I think I’m going to start outlining my book on homebrew.

It just totally kills me every time I see advice on the web that 1) includes no programming 2) teaches bad practices. There was a page on wikihow which essentially said “go download this crap and you can point and click and make a ds game yaay”.

Woo.
