Bored...Already?!?

Yes I am in WDMD 101 again. How did you guess? Well at least now I can get this up without much effort. If you've noticed things occasionally are double (or more) published. This is due to ResNet's suckiness not stupidity of the author! Well mostly not the stupidity of the author. Shhhh!
Ate at the Wooden Spoon for the first time today. It was very good and probably the healthiest meal I have had in awhile. Plan to eat there on Wed. more often. Plus I like the company I eat with. Yay for Allison!
If you didn't vote yesterday, shame on you! I was surprised how well Edwards did, very pleased tho too. Dean just announced today that he is dropping out. So now it is left to two (unless you think Kucinich and Sharpton can rally or even counted in the first place) for Super Tuesday. I still don't think Edwards will make it even tho I am rooting for him causing an upset. Wisconsin finally mattered however so yay for us!
Chi Alpha keeps bombarding me with deep thoughts. I am actually worried tho because although I think the intention is to strengthen my faith I feel like mine is being attacked in some sense around the base. Its a little much and I don't get much of a chance to talk to people about it one on one. Have to hash it out Friday over breakfast with Lars. My faith is a serious issue for me and lately its been on my mind quite a bit. Guess I finally cleared my mind of enough junk to be able to address things. To quote Heinlein however: I need time to grok all of this.
Jumping totally to a different subject now, I managed to finish a on the fly Solar Exalt Sorcerer. He/She is quite powerful, I was rather inspired by Kingdom of Halta and Dani's imaginative use of spells in D & D to pick a somewhat wider variety of spells. Also I put alot of XP (I was genning for my 1000 XP game) towards Esscense (9 - Personal: 36 Peripheral: 82) and WP of 9 as well. That means in summoning spells you get 18 dice to roll. Not sure but I think this might even allow some ease in summoning 3rd Circle Demons (aka the Green Sun from my Circle story). Of course 3rd Circles aren't statted-grr- so I will have to do that if in my game someone does that. Thankfully they can only be summoned over Calibration. The only real weakness is that the sorcerer has hardly any charms. He/she only has the Violet Bier of Sorrows MA (whole tree) and 5 Ox-Bodies. I figure however there will be Circlemates or flunkies to cover while the heavy fire power is released. Spell breakdown: 23 Terrestrial, 15 Celestial, 12 Solar.
It looks like I may have person #4 for my game. If I could get Ben to commit then I would have #5 but that is not he works. Adam says if he can get to UWSP he'll guest play. Things may eventually come together. Hopefully. Probably too late.
Relating back to class, this book which the Prof is lecturing from is hopelessly off key for IRC and web forums. You can't learn this stuff from a book at least not right. Perhaps that's true for all cultures. In which case my Geog 120 is a waste of time. Thinking about it I can understand how you can only know a culture by expierencing the culture first hand. Reading books or newspapers, etc only give a glimpse into the world. I post of forums and use IRC. I used to be very active on AmbrosiaSW's web forums and IRC. I still hit the IRC #ev3 maybe once a month for old time's sake.
Ok I think that is all for now. Continous flow of thought: offline.
