1) I got my braces tightened. It didn't hurt as much as much as getting them on did, which is not to say it wasn't painful.
2) I saw the new Indiana Jones movie.
I'm not going to do a review, but I'll just say this: I enjoyed it. I know there are a lot of haters out there saying it nuked the series' fridge, but I heartily disagree. It stayed true to the Indiana Jones format with lots of cool stunts, an enjoyable plotline, and compelling characters. It even had some of the unbelievability that were trademarks of the old movies. Don't believe me? See it for yourself. You'll enjoy it, trust me. If you don't, you are restricted from reading my blog. EVER.3) I finished my Second Semester Project for my Humanities class. For those uneducated as to the format of this project, everyone in the class chose a subject that deeply interested them and did an extensive report on it that included information on the subject's effect of and reflection of the society within which it exists or existed, and finally presented it to the class in PowerPoint format. For my project, I did the Boy Scouts of America. I mainly focused on the BSA's intolerance of homosexuals, atheists, and agnostics, and the repercussions this has caused them. I think I did fairly well on the presentation, as I managed to get a reaction out of the class.
4) I was released from school. This release was far sweeter than last year's last day of school, as we spent the whole last day on SSP presentations, literally up until the last minute. As we were let loose, one of my classmates took off his shirt and ran around the school, spinning the garment around and whooping with excitement. While my enthusiasm wasn't quite so pronounced, I was greatly relieved that the school year had drawn to a close.
5) I got Counter-Strike Source. This game gave me new standards for multiplayer fps's, and has proved to be an excellent method of increasing gaming skillz. The weapon section is incredibly balanced and intuitive, the maps are fun and challenging, and the graphics brilliantly showcase the Source team's skill.
My only problem with the game was the aggravating player base. Complaining about this aspect of the game is futile, however, because to fix it, they would have to alter the game completely.Thank you for your patronage.
