The Return of the King

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Went to a party this evening, and it was quite fun. I can't really explain the details too well, so we'll stop there.

Descent 3, once a favorite for years, has re-made its debut as multiplayer game of the month, according to myself. I scratched the outer ring of the CD earlier this summer, but I finally foudn a no-CD patch and applied it. Now, for the first time ever, I'm Descent-ing online! It's a wonderful experience!

Don't Vote.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Tomorrow, five states will close their doors to new voters to register. This marks the thirty-day mark to November Fourth, voting day. Let the races begin.

I may be at a party tomorrow, so I might break this serious posting streak I have going.

Oh well. Don't vote.

Palin Comparison

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Biden won that debate. Palin simply parroted anything and everything she heard, onstage or off. She was completely mechanical.

Her voice needs to change, as does her wig. Her hair seemed totally fake. The crinkling nose I could also do without, and her own ruleset.

Biden performed above expectations, addressing McCain's policies over Palin. He was pretty casual, cool, and collected -- and he kept it that way.

+1 to Joe.

So Much to Say

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.



Not much this evening. Test tomorrow in chemistry, which I'm half-ready for. I get most of it, but there's abotu a third of it I'm totally in the dark with.

Alternatively, people are pretty impressed with my Georgetown interview. We'll see how it goes.

Total Comeback

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

The Dow averages pulled back up almost 500 points today. So it's not a total loss, as I said in yesterday's topic.

I'm also talking with an old moderator of a forum I frequent. This is interesting. Old times on high-speed.

Alternatively: My day off ends in one hour and six minutes. I plan to make the most of it.

Not a Total Loss

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

We begin this evening on a rather grim note. Global economies are reeling from an economic collapse, costing the US economy roughly 1.2 Trillion dollars at the time of this writing.

That's just under two Iraq wars. Two.

This is incredible. Perhaps it's an iceberg, but it could also be just the tip of a massive economic crisis. Millions will lose money, retirements, college and savings funds, lifestyles.

I hope and pray that this will righten itself. People are losing their whole lives, and Washington sits and does nothing, pointing fingers at nobody but themselves.

Always Someone Else

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Well, there's always someone else in the picture. Someone you don't know very well, but when you get to know them, it's like electricity.

I've known this girl (different than the ones previously mentioned) since seventh grade now. She's been sort of an academic rival for me, although it's sort of a no-contest. She's incredibly smart, and has held a 4.0 GPA for years now.

We've been friends on and off for a while now, but now...I really don't know. She was my crush in middle school, so that may be it.

"I'll get back to you", to quote John McCain. I'll leave that there, just because it's so funny in any sort of meaningful context.



I need some better thinkin' music.

I'm working on it. See Dropped Packets for my new YouTube account. But since nobody visits or comments on this blog anyway, who cares?
