A week’s worth of updates

In no particular order, a laundry list of stuff.

• Last night, as I was driving home, there was a crazy amount of lightning in the south sky. The strange thing was, even though some of the strikes were bright enough to illuminate the trees, I didn’t hear a single crack of thunder.
• For those of you who are IGN Insiders, you can take a peek at the video preview for the Nokia N-Gage. Not that I’m buying one, but the weird part is that one of the two Nokia reps was a former co-worker of mine. I thought she looked familiar in the video preview.
• Two of the last three nights, I’ve dreamt that I was going back to school… although in slightly different circumstances. One was me taking a full course-load while still working (echoes of bigdumbthing‘s past endeavors), and the other was me moving off to be a full time student. And in both cases, I was stuck in class, with no idea what the homework was, and I hadn’t done the reading…
• I was playing .//MUTATION the other day, and I read a “post” in the in-game “BBS” by a character named meowa. And of course, I laughed out loud so hard that Leon had to see what I was laughing at. There were two posts, I don’t remember the first, but the second one was “Common sense is overrated,” or something like that.
• I refuse to participate in the TV show meme. Partly out of the general hatred that I have for web-tests in general, and partly out of the fact that my username is mapped to Gary Coleman.
• So, I leave for Indiana in two days. curse is gonna be driving me to the airport bright and early on Thursday morning. Hopefully I won’t be too out of touch.
• Oh, and by the way, none of you got the reason why July 28th, 1991 was special. And only one of you tried.
