RainI've listened to the new P.O.D. album a few times and I really like it. My favorite song off of it is "It Can't Rain Everyday." As a whole the entire CD is great. It has a good mix of softer songs and harder songs with a P.O.D. sping. I like it a lot.

So yeah. I feel I've accomplished a lot in the past few days. I feel great about getting my Linux assignment down a week ahead of schedule. Yay! I just had to install Apache Web Server in Linux and write an indepth tutorial on how I did it with screenshots. I did a great job, I think, documenting it. It's a lot better then my past tutorials for that class.

I can skip that class next week and have lunch with a friend is what this means. I know, I don't like to skip class... wait... I do when there's nothing to do... or if there's a Linkin Park concert... oops. Leave me alone I have a 4.0. Or close to it. I have mostly A's, maybe a B in one class. Dang it, now I feel like I'm bragging. Look kids, just because I skip class and get A's doesn't make it right. Show up for class. It helps a lot. Trust me. There's a kid in my classes that skips all the time and I'm pretty sure he's not doing so hot. The difference between me and him is I get done with stuff early because I Do stuff while in class. So yeah. Moving on.

I'm Almost done with the book, Saga of the First King: The Ancient. I have less than 80 pages to go. I might finish it tonight, but I like reading during the afternoon and do other stuff at night. The sun shining through the window is so comforting... I know I should be outside on a nice day, but alas...

I just realized a friend was suppose to call me today and we were going to do something... maybe he meant later. Yes I just went off topic mid sentence. That's what I do. Ok maybe I don't. I'm going to move back to the book.

It's a great book so far. The series is going to be awesome. The Highwayman is kinda a prequel to this book that I'm reading. The Highwayman follows one character most of the time, and takes place in one part of the world of Corona the setting of this fine book. It actually takes place in a small town in the Kingdom of Honce. You don't get much of the politics of Honce in there, just the politics of this small town. I think I was redundent. Maybe. The point I'm trying to make is that The Highwayman is more local, focused on one area and one person, while the book I'm reading now, The Ancient, is more global. You get into the politics of Honce, and the wars going on. It follows the same character from The Highwayman, but R.A. Salvatore also follows other characters, kinda what he did with the Demon Wars Saga. I really like this global perspective better. It's still personal, but it's also more exciting. I like both books a lot. I like the Demon Wars Saga better still. I'll let you in more after I've finished the book.

I've also been chipping away at God of War: Chains of Olympus. I think I have about an hour left on the game and then it's done. It's been a fun time playing it, that's for sure.

I lot of people like the God of War series, but complain that it is too short. I love the graphics, gameplay, the controls, the story, and everything about these games. Yes they are short, but that's also another reason that I like them.

You know my track record with games. I have a lot of game that I need to start, and others that I've started but have not finished. Getting a short game is a good thing to me. 5-10 hours isn't that bad. I'd probably complain if it were a 2 or 3 hour game, but 5 to 10 hours is good for me.

I still play long games. Take a look at the Zelda games. I clocked in at over 50 hours with Twilight Princess. Luckily I didn't have any other games that I needed to play. That was a slow time for video games for me.

Now I have games to finish, and I know of two games that I'm going to be getting this month. On of them is Okami for the Wii, and the other is Mario Kart Wii.

Mario Kart shouldn't be too bad. It's more of unlocking tracks, and then playing with friends but Okami might be a little long. I've playing a little bit of the Playstation 2 version and loved it. I played a bit under an hour I think. I got to a town and had to chase somethign around... maybe dig up the thing I was chasing. I don't remember so well. Either way I was having a blast.

I've been watching a few TV shows with friends. And movies I suppose. Last night we started watching a Sci-Fi channel mini series called Tin Man. We just watched the first episode last night. It's really good. It's a different take on the The Wizzard of Oz. It's good. Only Two more episodes to watch so I'll let you know on how it is after I finish it.

Another series is The Riches by FX. It's a great series so far. We are about 5 episodes into it and so far it's good. It's about a gypsy type family that are scam artists. The mom just got out of jail and then they take over the identity of a rich family. Taking the American dream as it were. It's really good. A lot of twists and turns. It has Eddie Izzard in it. He's a british comedian who likes to where women's clothes. He doesn't where them in the show, but his son on the show does. It's funny. I recommend it. The DVD just came out.

I getting excited for summer. I think I've said that. My goal is to finish about 5 books this summer. My goal is to also finish games that i've talked about in a previous post. I spose I could find the post but I can't remember how long ago I talked about it. Must have been fairly recent with summer coming up. It's "I Got Bored". That's the name of the news post that I talk about video games that I need to finish this summer.

I still can't believe I'm on the final form of the final boss in Heavenly Sword. Yeah I still haven't beaten it. I'm a horrible person. I'm sorry. Forgive me for not beating it. He's a pain in my butt though. I've researched some more on how to kill him. I've gotten some ideas that I think I haven't tried.

I also have a website on hold for now. I plan on getting it up an running this summer. I tinker with it here and there. This I'll get it to a working state and get it running someday. You'll see. In fact, here's [link removed] a screenshot of part of the website. Haha! That'll show ya.

I think this post is drawing to a close. I got bored. I might tinker some more. I might just eat dinner. Who knows.

Bye.

Oh yeah one more thing. I might be getting a new forum soon. Ones going through a testing stage here [link removed]. I'm seeing if spam bots will lurk on it. So far it's been a few weeks and none so that's a good sign. I'm liking the customization options. If spam bots happen to start lurking there's some easy ways to impliment security. I had to edit code and risk breaking something with PHPBB. Feel free to sign up and do stuff on it. Please don't pick spam looking names or start putting spam on it for that will squew my testing results and I don't want that.

Bye.
