Just found out a college buddy of mine died in a car accident on the 12th. Whether it's related to alcohol I have no clue, but damn it.

Alcohol is best taken in moderation, and when settling in for a cozy evening of hacking, creative writing, or something else that doesn't involve moving vehicles. Youth culture in America, at least, seems to glorify the act of puking one's guts out after chugging loads of it, which I never understood.

I didn't get to know him all that well, but he was a really nice guy. Cleveland lost a phenomenal individual.

Ugh. That's why I always pick between driving or drinking on a given night. No one should suffer for someone else's irresponsibility.

Sorry, Faust.

Drink driving, eugh. There's enough binge drinking and accidents due to it in this area...

After I beat MM3, I decided to finally make an effort to beat MM7.  I got the super adapter, and can finally beat the Wily levels.  I've gotten up to Wily twice.  The first time I couldn't get past the first form.  The second time I got up to the second one.  I used every E-tank I had.  I used my S-tank.  ONE MORE @#$%^&* HIT WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM!  I got Game over, and am now back to the beginning and need to get more screws to buy more E-tanks.  ...I hate that game.

Farming in the Megaman games was easily twice as stupid time consuming as in the Metroid games...>_>

So I just spent a LONG time working on my little Dalton scene that is basically meant for me to get the hang of things.  For shits and giggles I kept on attacking and attacking because Iron Orb can't kill you.  I used a save state for a while in the battle for when I knew the ending burp would come.  Turns out even if I timed Aura whirl perfectly, I don't even have the capacity to have enough HP to survive the burp yet....

Aww... I'm sorry to hear that, Shee.

Gripes... oh, right!

Lunenburg Public Schools (Lunenburg being a town near Fitchburg) has decided to close its doors.

Until January 5th.

It's not just that that's bugging me. I have to go back to class TOMORROW. For what? Five days of school, if not less. Is it wrong to hope that a tree falls on FHS?

Delta, you ever play MMX? I have X1 and it was a good game. I might get IHX if I ever get the chance.

Irregular/Maverick Hunter X is really great, I love it.

Oh, fuck yeah. Maverick Hunter X will always win. I liked the "Day of Sigma" vid they put in. It was cool.

Today just doesn't seem to be my day, guys. My sister has contracted what I had/have, except with more... puke. I had to strip her bed 'cause she missed the bucket I gave her, change my pants and socks because I stepped in the stuff that got on the floor, rinse off the stuff that had puke on it, and then wash out Barfy the Barf Bucket.

There are two good sides to this story, however. My mom went shopping and I was able to eat two pieces of chicken! Yaaay! First real food in almost forever. The second side is that Fitchburg Public Schools has closed its doors.

UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.

IF NOT LATER.
