Right now it’s sixty-two degrees outside with a biting wind, oppressive clouds and a constant, unrelenting stream of rain that depresses everyone. I do so like it when the weather outside matches my mood inside. One week of classes in the bag, and I don’t know how I’ll survive this semester. I don’t have a Japanese class to “fall back” on, and it’s looking like my schedule, with Spectrum and all, will make it difficult for me to get everything I need to get done,…
New on Backwash: “Aeris”. I warned you all that you were going to get a polemic from me for the GameFAQs visitors who kicked Aeris out of this year’s tournament, and here it is. Somehow I have a feeling that this may become a yearly tradition; since every tournament will end in Mario vs. Link, perhaps we can have a contest to see who Aeris loses to in each year’s tournament instead?

All I can say is last year, I made the worst mistake of my life. I thought my biggest mistake was not going back to Antioch, but no, I…
Okay, still here, still no response to the e-mail I sent on the 20th (see below for details), still feeling like shit. Really quick: New on Backwash: “O’Blowme”. One guess as to what it’s about. For the record, yes, I picked up Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right on Friday; I’ve only gotten halfway through it so far, but it is once again scarily spot-on. It’s not as funny as the Limbaugh book, but that’s…
