More random stuff

So ya, it's Tuesday evening, and I'm not feelin the greatest, but I want to post some stuff. Work and school is still the same.. I mailed out a resume for the Ewing Township Schools today, they want a computer tech to work on township pc's. Works for me :) Let's hope eh? I need to get away from Staples. I need to graduate from Mercer in May too :/ what fun. So now for more random stuff I've picked up the past few days: RIAA suing people.. in Trenton! Better not be me :D The recording industry sued 531 more computer users Tuesday it said were illegally distributing songs over the Internet in what has become a routine reminder that college students, teenagers and others can face expensive lawsuits for swapping music online. The Recording Industry Association of America filed the latest complaints against ``John Doe'' defendants in lawsuits in Atlanta; Philadelphia; Orlando, Fla.; and Trenton, N.J. It said the defendants were customers of one of five Internet providers based in those cities. Cingular has bought AT&T Wireless, yay! They paid $41 billion, and the deal just has to be finalized with the FCC, and then we get better service and stuff, woohoo!
More to come if I find it again. Stuff like how Vinnie Coppadono's (sp?) gym has been shut down with an eviction notice, how Bill Baroni wants a stupid-developer meter or somethin or other for the township, etc. Fun stuff :)

Random bits I find around

K, nothin new is really going on with me.. just had my day off today and am tryin to do stuff (actually trying to copy my first DVD now, woo!). Oh yeah, and my class at Mercer isn't cancelled cause I called and raised hell. Go me! My brother's birthday is tomorrow, and we're all goin to Big Ed's BBQ in Burlington. Calc is fun, blah! I've found some news stories that I just have to post for you guys to see because they're so funny. First off: Microsoft To Give Away Sexy Pillows With Xbox
In an effort to boost flagging sales in Japan, Microsoft will be giving away a free 'dakimakura' hugging pillow with each Xbox as of March. The pillows are traditionally for Anime fans as a way of getting 'personal' with their favorite characters. Each freebee will have a double-sided image of female teen character Kasumi from hit Xbox game Dead Or Alive, dressed in a skimpy bikini. Microsoft hope that the sexy gift will help sell an extra 5000 Xbox machines.
Next up: Harvard Sex Magazine
Harvard University has approved a student magazine about sex that will feature art, sex advice and fiction -- as well as photographs of undressed Harvard undergraduates.
That says it all. Woot! Also. Here's a leaked image of Baraka from Mortal Kombat 6. SWEET! This is probably fmv though. And yes, I liked Mortal Kombat: DA, and I'm lookin forward to MK6.
Other random things: They're making a Simpsons movie to come up in 2006! And the Star Wars trilogy (special edition ones) are comin out on DVD on September 21st! That's it for now. I'm waiting on a possible Nintendo conference happening to unveil the Nintendo DS. Should be fun if it happens :) I'll post anything else I find in here.

!*$%) Mercer

Blah. So things were going good with me.. I still had new clue about what I was going to do in the Fall college-wise, but things were getting better.. And now Mercer goes and cancels one of my classes due to 'lack of enrollment'. Unless I can bitch at them enough to keep it open or just give me the credit for it, I can't graduate until the summer or next fall. This really, really sucks. I don't really have much to say besides that.. School is goin alright (besides the class thing).. work is work.. all the stuff I keep wanting to do I'm working on still, heh. My brother gets his license Friday! I went to the Philly Auto Show on Saturday, which was fun :) I definitely want the Cobalt Coupe SS, hehe. So ya, I'm happy with some things, annoyed with others.. that's my life. Oh, and my Palm ate my document I wrote for class tomorrow, gotta retype it on the pc i guess. Valentine's Day is coming up, eep! What's a good restaurant to go to around Hamilton guys? :) I gotta get somethin for that.. somethin for my brother.. Metroid is comin out tomorrow, yay! (that's for me).. Welp, time for bed, work at 7. Go me.

Its-a me!

Another week has rolled by- and I'm off tomorrow, woohoo! Gives me time to catch up on doin my own thing and doin classwork and such. I worked Sunday so I could have this Saturday off. I've been so busy.. aar, I need to clean my room, do some homework.. work on my websites.. play some games.. actually use the DVD burner i bought to make sure it works so I can return it if it doesn't.. oh, I bought Planetside too so that's sucking up some time. Anyone who wants to play that, or does, let me know! You can get a 7 day free trial from shitty.. erm, FilePlanet. And the game is only $20 with a month free, ya know the deal :) Oh and Half-Life2 is delayed AGAIN (TF2 is never coming out, is it?), so it's as good a time as any. What's Planetside like? Tribes :) So one of my friends went to the Philly Auto Show today and got me some pics of the Chevrolet Cobalt SS. I'm pretty sure this will be my next car when it comes out later this year, although I'll probably get the Sedan SS edition which will look a lil different.
