So yeah, long time no post.

Jay has been off gaying it up, I believe getting a Denny’s kids placemat tatooed on his back so whoever is sodomizing him at the moment can lead the pirate through the maze; he is a thoughtful individual and doesn’t want whatever member of the hair bear bunch that is currently using his prostate as a phallic landing pad to get bored.

Grandpa always said open with a gay joke. He’s a wise man.

I’ve had finals and haven’t been around as much, as is the usual drill when the academic powers that be put me through the quarterly torture test. I really got to start having sex with my professors or something; it seems like for some of them I’m capable of doing nothing but B work. Normally I’d be happy with a B, but being a student nurse makes things a little more competative… the bit you get told about there not being enough nurses to fill job openings is very true; what you don’t get told when your talking to your advisor and are forced to find out from other jaded students is that there isn’t any lack of prospective nurses. Colleges are turning away perfectly qualified students (GPAs ranging in the 3.5 range) because no one is teaching. My school admits something like 20 students a year, a figure thats somewhere around 5% of the total applicants. One girl I talked to got turned away because her essay didn’t exude enough “compassion”. What the fuck? I can understand not getting into a school program because you, say, failed anatomy or murder children, but when your being denied admission to a school because you didn’t flagellate yourself enough for the greater good is one of the bigger bullshit things I’ve encountered in my life. Doesn’t it say something about your compassionate character that your even choosing a career that involves scraping the shit out of peoples asses? Man, if I was a rich white C student, I could be the fucking President of the United Sates. Maybe I could go into politics instead, I’d be dealing with as much shit and disease, but at least I could rob old people of their pensions and no one would care, because white collar crime is hardly criminal in the US.

Yeah, I’m a little jaded about my educational status and have been trying to figure out alternate degree paths in case I can’t get into school anytime soon. Law school here I come!

I know this has little to do with videogames and more to do with me decompressing post finals. Its not like we’re scholarly journalists or anything, just a couple of opinionated assholes who can only update this page when we are bothered. Go us. I’ve been playing a couple of new (to me) things lately, and was totally horrified at Shadowrun; Not so much because it’s a bastardization of a pen and paper game I love (that I can live with if the game is fun), but because it hints at some really cool game mechanics and then totally screws the pooch when it comes to putting any actual game in there. I figured if the game sold well, we could see at least an action-rpg style Shadowrun game sometime in the future, something closer to the feel of the game. Given the overall shitfest that the SR game turned into, I wouldn’t be suprised if Microsoft poisoned the well for future games in the universe. Ah well, I guess there is always the haloes.

Next time, constant reader, I may talk about videogames. Or I may just make six paragraphs of dick jokes. If im lucky, I can combine the two into a digital weenis voltorn. And I’ll form the purple head.
