May 7, 1998 -- Last day of classes. Boy, am I glad that's over. But it really isn't. I still have finals. And those programs still aren't finished. Solitare is so close I can almost SMELL the finished product, but there are still a few VERY VERY annoying bugs to work out. And I get to start classes at Nassau at the end of the month. Joy.
Gripe Gripe. Whine Whine. That's all I'm good for lately, isn't it.
But in other news...Baxter found the little house in the upper level of his cage. He moved in right away. He's so cute. Last night...or this morning if you want to get technical, when I shut off the light at 7am Baxter got up. I heard him rattling the side of the cage as usual. But when I looked he stopped, and waggled his cute little paws at me. Then he climbed up the side of the cage to the upper level and sat in front of the little house. Then he waggled his paws a little more. It was so cute. I love hamsters. They're the sweetest little critters. He sleeping now. And I will be soon...but for now let's chat. I've been going through all my old e-mails and cleaning up my AOL filing cabinet. Reading all the mail from the beginning of last semester amuses me. Brian came up with a nifty idea for a video game, while I was still obsessed with Mario. Pacifist Fighter.
Absurd? Yes.
Just imagine...Jesus versus Mother Theresa:
ROUND ONE!!!!......FIGHT!!! And really, do they do much else? I suppose Jesus could begin with the "Water to Wine" attack. Or maybe he could just walk on the water, rather than waste the effort making wine when Mother Theresa probably doesn't drink anyway. Jesus could allow himself to be crucified. Or Mother Theresa could die of old age. But then Jesus could either raise the dead or be Risen. Time limits would be a must. Ooo! I just thought of a great attack Jesus could do! Wrath of God!! Well, maybe just stigmata. OOOooo! The "Touch my Wounds" attack!! I could give them all Ranma 1/2 names....The Spirit of The Risen Lord School of Anything Goes Martial Arts Ultimate Second Coming Attack!!! Damn...Moses would make a cool character, but only because he wasn't really a pacifist. He could part the seas, then dump it on you...or do the Ten Commandments PileDriver. I got your Graven Images right here, Baby!!! Of course, God would have to be the end boss. Time would be about to run out and God would do his "Smite" attack. Bolts of lightning would come down and incinerate whoever was the opponent. God Wins. Go figure. This is what eight years of a Roman Catholic education can do for YOUR child!!! I even got a free Bible to check my facts! I thought it was funny that at the time Brian and I were playing with this idea, there was a rather bloody web-war going on. It seems to have finally passed on so I feel it's safe to say this. I read one of the web pages devoted to burning me at the stake for something that has been almost three years past now and I came up with a humorous letter to Brian. I never really cared much about the web war, but it sure pissed Brian off to no end. Humor is good for dealing with stuff that I suppose SHOULD make me angry but I just don't care enough to bother with. So anyway, here's the letter. I hope all parties concerned are far enough past the incident to laugh at this.
I thought you'd like that. So there are so many 'in' jokes. When last I checked, Lee seemed to have moved on to bigger and better things. I considered for a long while if this would get me another three years of hate mail and nasty journal entries, but came to the conclusion that if anyone involved in that past web war still cares, they need therapy. And Hot Damn! I'm going to hell for Pacifist Fighter...console yourselves with that!! Ah well, my bed. It beckons. |
