As for AP courses, well, I hear you, but if you had a good teacher, then you probably got just as much as you would from an introductory college seminar. The stuff at the higher levels is where it's at, usually because it's what the professor's actually interested in.
Yeah, I think AP courses actually teach you more than college classes on the same material. It's just that politics are fun when you know the teacher is unbiased.
Also I guess Michael Guy Bowman and the band (including Eric "Jit" Scheele! who is my favourite musician for no apparent reason) are going to be able to go to SXSW after that crazy generous $5 donation I made. I don't know any people who live in Austin so I figured I'd just post it wherever.

Etta James. :(
I don't think I've heard her before, but I heard about it on the radio this morning. I'll listen to my faux-hipster show tomorrow night and see if they play any of her songs.
But not me! I'm gonna try to ride my bike into town tomorrow. And then we're gonna try to drive somewhere near Philomath and plant plants. And then I'm gonna try to ride my bike back home. It'll be great! I'm kinda wondering how much water my bike can go in before it lifts up, though. Also if I should wear swim trunks (the air is f$~&ing warm! crazy!).
Also holy s#$@ that update was awesome. Let me paste my reaction.

When I started watching, and heard the beginning of the song I knew, I whispered, "f#$% yes." Then I basically chirped and squirred through the rest on max volume and brightness.

Thanks!
Do you guys like the Total War series? I love the games, especially Empire and Napoleon.
If liking it can be a thing that can be done when one knows only what is shown in this comic about Total War, then yes.
Except what I just said is now a lie because I've looked at the Wikipedia page. It looks interesting. I - the only real turn-based strategy games I've played were Warcraft (not really turn-based but actually my introduction to video games), stuff that came with Red Hat (which for some reason I associate with Tom Tomorrow?) and various other Linux incarnations, a bunch of stuff on this site (mostly ripoffs of other games, and also not very good), and another ripoff game called War of Legends which very much does not deserve a link (copy of something called Evony, and also really poorly coded). Oh! And chess and Go (which is of course awesome). And Monopoly, which I ruled like a boss at when I was younger and could ken the probabilities better. And Pathfinder and D&D? S@@~ so many things can be described as "turn-based strategy games."

In Total War you recruit and move troops and manage your civilization on a turn based campaign map, but fight battles in real time. It's fun.
Also, I am currently playing the most fun Pathfinder character I've had in a long time.
Today I played my East Taldan sylph court bard of Calistria. We took down Gibbs after a tough battle (we were trying to keep from harming him). We've got him tied up now and I'm fetching help from the Pharasman church. Titu isn't very "awesome," even though he's the party's tank.
What's your fun character?

I'm playing a 4 Int, 3 Wis Lawful Good Fighter who worships Asmodeous and thinks she's a Paladin. She's currently in the middle of an epic quest to retrieve her teddy bear from a lich (she's never owned a teddy bear), and is traveling with a racist, sexist dwarven woman who's a raging prohibitionist when it comes to alcohol, Gothy McGothdark the witch, and the female Belkar Bitterleaf.
She's fun. Nobody, not even the GM, is taking this campaign seriously. We just don't feel like it. We just want to destroy Cheliax with our insane antics.

ROMNEY IMPLIES OWS PROTESTERS ARE NOT PEOPLE
That's pretty hypocritical coming from Mitt the Ripper.

I have been watching a melange of Rome and Spartacus: Blood and Sand episodes totally out of order and mixing the shows. They totally rock.
The best hour of television that I have ever seen in my life might be the episode of S:B&S where the dominus decides to stud out Spartacus to rich women and sends him a slave girl to practice with. The poor slave tries to explain to Spart how the dominus is worried that, with lack of recent use will come lack of stamina, Spartie replies "The idea is repellent."
Hee hee!
