fun & games

So, most of us are college students. As such, I'm pretty sure we all have TONS of spare time that we're looking to fill. There's this website that can help us do that. It's called freearcade.com. I found the site one day during my computer science class in 12th grade, and I've visited it frequently ever since...maybe you should, too.

Photography

I thought I would be a good friend and give a little plug for my roomate, Stephen Carter. Stephen has a proffessional photography website called smcphotos. His website has all sorts of cool photos from his travels as well as pictures from events at Ouachita and around the area. He does weddings and pretty much will do anything if you will pay him. So, go give the website a look and help a poor college student out a little.

Star Ocean Till The End Of Time.

Ok, so the title is a little wierd. Well that is because it is the name of the RPG (Role Playing Game) I am currently playing on my PS2. I am a big fan of RPG's, and I've played almost all of the Final Fantasy series. So when my wife and I bought the PS2, she wanted DDR mat and game and I got to buy a game that I would want to play. Star Ocean is nothing like FF series, but it is made by the same company, well it was the same company until it merged to become Squareenoix (sp?) The story line is very strong, though the scenes between play seem a bit long. The battle strategy is awesome, upon meeting an enemy on the world map you are then taken to another area to do battle where you can control your main character or switch to the other two that are with you. I'm a little over half way done with the game, I finished the first of two disks Sunday night on 25 hours of play, I'm currently on 36 hours of play and can't wait to put another RPG under my belt.

urban outfitters

The clothing store, Urban Outfittters, has a really neat site. You can look at it at urbn.com. The design is really fun, and user specific. You can look under men's or women's and then click on a section: shoes, shirts, pants, etc. It is really easy to navigate and they have a great product line. You can also make a wish list and send it to someone. It is a basic cothing site, but I think it does a good job of reaching the target audience.

Goldfish

I just recently went to Wal-Mart, and bought myself some delightful little cheesy cracker snacks, also known as goldfish. I was watching TV the other day, eating the little bits of Heaven, when I noticed a website on the back of the box. The website is www.pfgoldfish.com. You can do all sorts of things that have to do with goldfish. I'm not really promoting the site, because it's a complete waste of time. So, if you have time to waste, and you really enjoy goldfish, go check out the site.

WWW.paradisepoker.net allows anyone over 21 to download their software and play several different poker games for play money. Once you sign up, you are qualified to enter the tournament. i could really use $1million, how bout u?

"What you need..." That was pretty funny. Thanks.

(If you already know everything about everything, quit reading now.) Somebody told me about this site called answers.com. This site will tell you anything you want to know. There you go. Knock yourself out.

What you need....

Ever had the feeling you needed something but didn't know what exactly? Well the search engine Google (or any search engine for that matter) can solve your problems. But entering your name then the word needs a bountiful list of subjects of what you need will pop up. Ok not really but it will have your first name and what that person needs. I don't mean to offend anyone but I went ahead and did a search for the entire class keeping only the ones that I'm sure wont be offensive.
Adam needs a printer.
Christy needs her own series.
Katy needs to stop going to so many anime conventions.
Gary needs us as his fans.

Mug Root Beer

I was late to class today because I was parched and I need something to drink. So I stopped by the vending machine and picked up a Mug Root Beer. While I was sipping on my beverage I noticed a website on the side of it. Yes, Mug Root Beer has a website. It appears that the dog is looking for his friend Tex. The site talkes about how the company got started and gives a brief history on how it got to where it is today. It is worth the look and it tastes pretty good as well.

vintage21.com

A friend of mine introduced me to a funny site this weekend. You can visit it at www.vintage21.com, if you click on the movie reel, you can watch 4 movies. They are all clips from an old Jesus film, with voices dubbed in. Each video is a misconception of who Jesus is, you should watch a few. I thought it was a really neat idea.

Gas Prices

I heard about this website on msn that will let you know the cheapest gas prices in your area by zip code (for Arkadelphia you have to enter 71923), so you can pass by those higher priced ones and go directly to the cheapest pumps. Its updated hourly so check it out! http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx?zip=

Intramurals

So Kappa Slim has had a curse for many years of unsuccessful sport seasons, but yesterday Slim won there sixth game of the season. Kappa Slim is now 6-0 on the season and have a winning season for the first time in who knows how long! BUT...recsports has yet to acknowledge our success this season and it bothers me. I don't know what you can do about this Lannie, but you know about all this stuff. Could you please hack into the site and write up a decent report on how good we are doing? Actually, don't worry about it because we have been doing well without it. If any of you would like to check out the rec sports site go to the tigernet and then click rec sports! Maybe email them telling someone about the competition and outcome of this season! Sorry this blog sucks!

One of my teachers in high school recited this poem to our class one day. Four years later, I still think it's funny, so I'll share it with you all:

I love me, I think I'm grand.
I walk through the park holding my hand.
I wrap my arms around my waist.
When I get fresh, I slap my face.

Project 86

Ok, I don't know how many people in this class are fans of this band or if you even know who they are. I would compare them to any alternative rock band, their latest cd, ...and the rest will follow, is more of their harder stuff. But they are pretty good in my opinion and they will be in concert in Fayetville, AR October 22nd. I've been a big fan of thier music since I was in the 9th grade and they have gotten progressivly better each year. So check out Project 86 they are worth the look.
