November.

November?NOVEMBER!?

No update in 3 weeks! Jeez Dino, you had better step up your game if you want this thing to work. Especially when Orange Ark and DinoDotCom.com is just around the corner. (Right, Fearn? Right!?)

The main thing I’ve been doing the past two or so weeks has been school. Shit’s been hitting the fan and it’s time to put on the serious face. (Why I never decide to put the serious face on until mid-semester always boggles me.) However, it’s extremely hard to do due to the fact that Fable II and competitive Smash Bros. have been doing an excellent job of grabbing my attention for monster periods at a time. Hopefully with Fable II beaten, I can increase the amount of seriousface-per-day I do.

In a related topic, back in the summer I started the Stronglifts 5×5 program and adhered to it very well. Unfortunately when I went to California, it destroyed my routine and the new semester followed thus putting the final nails in the coffin. Looking back, that was the first time I stuck to a plan long enough to see changes and improvements. I mean, by late August, I could squat 185 lbs. like it was nothing. It also help me jog with less pain. With that said, I’m going to be starting that routine once again, but this time logging a weekly analysis on this blog. The fact that you guys can see my progress will be an added kick in motivation as well. :]

And of course, I can’t finish this without showing everyone my Jack-o-lanterns. I think I did pretty well this year. :] Pumpkin Etching > Pumpkin Carving.




Things I Learned Today: MicroSD cards are disgustingly (yet at the same time pleasantly) cheap these days. The 4 gig card I bought for my new phone only cost me $15. :] Sorry Faye, the lovely one you got me for my birthday many moons ago just got retired. :[ It severed me well in it’s 2+ years of action.

Procrastination.

Procrastination hit rather early this year. It’s only been 2.5 weeks into a new semester and I’ve already started/finished an assignment the day before it was due. The mere fact that it was worth 4% of my final grade and so trivial that took our group about 45 minutes to complete is no saving grace either. This year is off to a pretty bad start… ha ha.

However, the semester is still young. And you can bet before we’re through, Dino, I’ll make a man out of you! (HOOOAH!)

On another note, Tetris DS is fun again. I managed to consistently beat a level 3 CPU, which is a big jump for me. :]

Things I learned today: T-spinning is the act of twisting a ‘T’ tetromino into a tight space that it wouldn’t normally be able to get into. There are different variations of T-spins that can be used in a wide array of situations.
