I did this quiz a while ago, but when Desslok just did it, it reminded me that I should probably post my results as well.

1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT – Democrat (79%)
3. Sharpton, Reverend Al – Democrat (78%)
4. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH – Democrat (71%)
5. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR – Democrat (70%)
6. Edwards, Senator John, NC – Democrat (60%)
7. Kerry, Senator John, MA – Democrat (56%)
8. Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO – Democrat (53%)
9. Libertarian Candidate (51%)
10. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT – Democrat (40%)
11. Phillips, Howard – Constitution (11%)
12. Bush, President George W. – Republican (7%)

Wow, I really don’t like Bush, do I?

I have discovered The West Wing. I like it. I shall buy season 1 on DVD. End transmission.

You know how some mornings you wake up and you get a really weird thought in your head that just sticks there? Well this morning, the first thing that popped into my head was:

“From zero to sixty in under a ferret.”

Take that for what you will.

I hadn’t seen this one before, and I normally see these all over the place. I know I don’t post test results that often, but this one was actually pretty well done:

66.66666666666667% of me is a huge nerd! How about you?

This just goes to show that no matter how into anything you think you are, there’s always someone who’s more into it. This guy did the project that I only got part of the way through: making one very large map made of screenshots from Legacy of the Wizard, complete with marks for which blocks are breakable, and what each treasure chest contains.

Wowee! That must have taken a very long time.

I knew it would happen. Now all I have to do is wait for this to come out and I’ll be set.

More adventures of the little Tarutaru Hamusutaa

When I bought the new Barkenaked Ladies album, I got the special edition, which comes with a DVD. On that DVD is a 5.1 surround sound mix of the entire album. Once I got bigdumbthing‘s DVD player to actually send 5.1 sound to the receiver (something got messed up in the past, don’t know how) I’ve been enjoying that for the last 30 minutes or so.

Yes, I’ll write a real update soon.

(Heh, I love the lyrics of this song.)

Yes, yes, Happy New Year. Or as desslok commented, “Good riddance to 2003!” (Or something along those lines.) Yes, even though it was the year that I bought a house, it wasn’t one of the happiest years in my life, as years go.

I’ve been taking these two holiday weeks off, I was only in the office on the first Monday, and worked from home the this last Monday. So I’ve been catching up on a lot of video games. I bought and beat Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. I’ve gotten even further in Final Fantasy XI, I’m up to level 21, and in the process of getting my chocobo license.

Suddenly I can’t think of anything else to say. Bah.

I spend almost all of today playing Final Fantasy XI. I went from level 12 to level 16 (and most of the way to 17) in nine hours. That’s amazing speed. I was in a party that just worked. Unfortunately, as party members left and were replaced, the “magic” or something was lost and we started dying. Yes, for four or five hours, no one died. Eventually, I was pulled away by Hank and Albert to go to dinner.

Now, I’m high enough in level that I can wander between the three major cities, but now I need to work my way to Jeuno to get my Chocobo license… but before that, I’m hanging out at Bastok trying to get the grass I need for that quest, although I might just break down and buy it…
