It was an early morning yesterday, I was up before the dawn

So after a tic tac toe of midterms (Th, Fr, Sa) I had a pretty laid back weekend.

After my 8:30am BUS 288 midterm on Saturday I came back to my room and decided I'd earned a chance to visit an old friend. I played Civ III from 10:45 to about 4:30. I have rarely played anything for 6 hours straight, but we were getting along so well! I could seriously write about 2000 words on the experience without breaking a sweat, but I'll exercise some self control and simply say that I'm nearing the Modern age and victory is looking quite attainable, though far from guaranteed playing in Demi-god mode. This would be my first victory at that level.

I went up and went to dinner with Amy in V1. We borrowed "Scarface" from some guy in her house and watched that, because it's a classic I'd never seen before. We also ended up watching some Comedy Central videos online because I love watching those and my internet is too slow to stream it correctly here. She went and did something with some friends at 11:30 ish and I said I should go home and get some sleep since I'd slept less than 6 hours per night for the last 3 nights.

However, once I was outside again I felt much more awake, so I called Jordan. We ended up LANning it up at his place, though it took us an hour and a half before we both had the same version of either Starcraft or Warcraft III. I chalk it up to the fact that we were mostly talking and not paying attention to what we were doing. We ended up playing Starcraft from about 2:00 to 5:15, since after we had played 3 games it was already past 4:00 and we figured if we stayed up another hour we could get breakfast because its Ramadan.

So I didn't end up getting that sleep I planned on, but I did take a "nap" from about 6:30 to 11:00, so that's not bad.

I'd write more, but I have another midterm tomorrow, then I'm home free for 3 weeks. Well, I have assignments, but those are routine.

I'm also proud to announce that I too can pwn with the Terran, thanks to me playing with them a lot against Stu back when I sucked with them to create a handicap.

Also I would like readers of Jordan's blog to note that Stu has never beaten me in a game that lasts more than 30 minutes, because the only way he wins in when he zergling/lurker rushes me. I'm a slow starter with the terrans!

bah. If you're a slow starter with anything then you're gonna get pwned pretty fast. Not that I'm saying I can rush you with the Toss or anything, but the onus is definately on Terran and Toss to get some base-defense up fast when they're playing against Zerg.

I'm talking about making 6 zerglings frist thing here, because you can make 3 things at once while I've only got a marine or two.

Yeah, but your buildings can fly. I mean, if all else really fails, the zerglings can't touch you in the air...

And you also can't do anything while they're in the air, so he just slaughters the SCV's and comes in with Hydralisks...

Haven't you seen the PA comic...

ZERG RUSH!

AAAAHH!

Just kidding Jimmy.
