With three hours between my morning and afternoon class, its quite boring. There's only so much stuff I can do browsing around or wandering aimlessly. Ah well them's the breaks. Plus I did all my homework, which is pretty nice. Hopefully my stupid books will be delivered during the weekend. Dang cheap rates make everything super slow.
Well, not that I blame em... sending the priority mail costs like 10 bucks for any decent sized book. The cheap media mail takes sometimes a whole week but its like 5 bucks. A fair tradeoff I say.
Well I have been trying to sell my old textbooks on half.com if you haven't noticed and only managed to sell one. Which is pretty likely I sold it for twice as much as I'd get elsewhere. So its pretty nice.
I did jack up a lot of the prices that suggested I sell the book for less than 5 dollars... I mean seriously its worth more as fire fodder at that price... Shipping is more than what I'd get out of it.
What would be cool is figuring out a decent system of taking a nap in this place and being able to not sleep through my class, oh well I'm sure I'll come up with something, since my phone's class alerts don't seem to be going off anymore.
Well, its been my first week of NEIU and so far I've met zero people. Not that I'm surprised it has always taken me forever to make friends. Not that I'm all too thrilled with it. Oh well, its not the point anyways.
They do pretty good upkeep of this place, throughout yesterday they built a new garden next to the library, which was kinda interesting for a time lapse dealy.
I know I"m including much more information that I usually do, and that's for a good reason, last blog of mine I never updated, I wish I could go back and know my thoughts about various events and concerns. Ah well, can't do anything about it now.
Ah well, maybe I should work on that short story of mine, but I'm kinda stuck.

Hi Gene
I was going through my old blog and its kinda strange how... I got nowhere. Oh well, here's a nice quote I found.
"So anyway, according to the New York Times, Dr. Gerba found that "people who had the cleanest-looking kitchens were often the dirtiest. Because 'clean' people wipe up so much, they often end up spreading bacteria all over the place. The cleanest kitchens, he said, were in the homes of bachelors, who never wiped up and just put their dirty dishes in the sink." That's right: You so-called "good housekeepers" with your so-called "cleaning" are, in fact, smearing bacteria around, while we so-called "slobs," by courageous inaction, make the world's kitchens safer for everybody."

Fasting
Well for no reason I decided not to eat lunch today. Hope my mommy makes dinner tonight.
Stupid books... Two of them that I have to buy at the book store... they cost 300 bucks. Its not like the economic books are any different or offer any new insight... they're just economic books, just like everyother economics book I had previously bought. Lame. They seem to be the most expensive too. Well short of law or premed.
Later I'm gonna do a video blog, but not of me. It'll be the parking garage. That thing is cool. Well not really but I wanna do it for kicks. Stay tuned for my first video blog. Maybe I'll have my voice on it. Almost certainly not though. Maybe I'll blow it off completely!
Yesterday was weird blogging three times in one day, I dunno if I'll keep up at this rate, doubt I'll blog once the classes actually teach us something. That's the whole reason I'm here right?
Alright there actually is a good reason I didn't eat lunch, the line was too big and I'm cranky and impatient. So instead I did my homework. Yeah way ahead of time too. Maybe this college is pulling the best out of me. I didn't eat just now since its like 4 pm and most of the people are gone, and I have no idea if they are serving food at all at that time.
I have noticed however, that despite the low ratio of female to male here, the ones that aren't like transfer students are extremely attractive. I dunno why I said that just puttin it out there.

Maybe I should edit instead... nah
Alright I changed the template on the blog a bit. Sorry I posted three times in one day but I already forgave myself. There's a widget that supposedly connects to my meebo to allow any visitors to instantly chat with me. It should be interesting.
Familiar Canis
Ha! Delicious word play.
Anyways as per its title I'm about to complain about my stupid dog. He's actually scared of his water bottle. He doesn't drink from it anymore because it makes that glug noise. So without that source of liquid refreshment, guess where he has to get it from?
Well I sure don't want to think about it, so I have to fill a small, no water refilled bowl for him. This morning he drank at least 5 bowls full, but as being a dog, he made a huge puddle. Luckily I'm a male so I left it.
In other news, I attempted to go to a different computer lab but its rediculously full, luckily I made it to the library before the crowd figured to go here instead. Spots are filled up quick, its a good thing people feel socially awkward to be seen anywhere near said book depository. Not that I ever have that problem...

Fiction is the Lie that Tells a Truth
I enjoy that quote. Dunno who said it and when. So earlier between classes, when I could grab a computer- I decided to write from my alternate universe continuity but from a female point of view.
Now I'll say it again and again, I have no idea what a girl thinks about or does, but then again there's a large chance that some girl someplace at sometime is able to somehow think what I made the female in my story think.
Its a corny lovestory from a third person. Well, those who have or will read the original novella will know the tragedy that happens, well actually it happens again in this story but even worse.
I think I'll make guenthercorp into my fiction showcase. Why not? Course I can just as easily do the same ol' random gibberish. So why not do both? Hope it doesn't look too junky. Then again I have no skills of an artist.
My craft of choice is writing. I enjoy writing science- mystery- romance- emotional- post-apocalipic- fiction. It could happen. It takes a few ideas already canonized by the community and brings them all together into a hodge podge I'd actually like to read. Its very inner monologuey and my detail on its setting tends to stink, but I get around it well enough.
So look forward to me updating my site regular like- not that anyone follows this blog much anymore. Ouch. I hurt my pride.

A New Dawn
Today is my first day at NEIU, right now I'm hanging out in the library wasting time til my next class at 2 PM.
So why not give this dealy an update, and I'll assume I'll be doing this more often because of the realization that I have a lot more time in the day.
I could hardly sleep last night for some reason, and of course my fears were unfounded. Apparently they had mailed my transcripts from Harper finally, or the instructor just is lazy, either way I win.
This key board is awefully loud, so I'll type slower, but that means my brain has to slow down just as much because I type about as fast as I can think, its weird sometimes.
Let's see, this semester if you're wondering I have two category of classes, Computer Science and Economics. Finally I'm in the higher branch of education so I don't have to mess with these stupid electives. Not that those were boring. Fiction Writing was a nice class, Anthropology is interesting too but unfortunately I got no better than a C in any of them, and the fact there are little job openings in that field. Indiana Jones got lucky.
I've set up my portal on campus and got my university email address. I'm not going to post it since I'm very sure I'll never check it, not that the system is actually working.
For a library, it sure is noisy. It has a nice little computer lab, where I am now. Most of the other people are using those stupid networking sites. Not that I'm doing any better blogging, but if anyone asks I'm brushing up on my writing and typing skills. Which isn't untrue.
In other unrelated news I've added a ton of old aquaintances on the old networking site. Not the evil one, the inclusive one. I don't like to plug nonsponsors of my blog/website. Ha!
Wish to have your business advertised on this blog? Too bad! My site is completely ad free except for the plugs for my own business. True, I have to find some way to turn a profit, or at least get people to respect my creative side. Maybe I'll post my novel.
Nah, forget that. Oh and I don't feel like typing my old addendum anymore. So get used to it, its still me though.

Aquaman: Pilot
Aquaman: Pilot - AOL Video
As an extra on Smallville, Aquaman was so-so. But after watching the pilot, I'm shocked it wasn't good enough for the WB. Maybe a lack of female interests... Oh well.

A throw back to the old days... Not that I agree with its opinion.
Just something interesting... Oh and its a PDF if you don't have Adobe Reader crawl out from under your rock already.

Smash Bros. DOJO!!
Smash Bros. DOJO!!
Sure I'll never buy a Wii but that doesn't mean I don't check up on the sequels to the best video games ever. Although, this clinches the decision to never buy this game... new character Pokemon trainer. Lame.
In other news, I finally registered for classes which start in two weeks from today. Had no difficulties like people threatened.
Ciao

Bout Time
Well its been a month and a half since my last blog. I'm shocked.
This summer went by too fast. But everyone says that. So what thought of interest will I post about today? Not much... except I've gotten into a new anime. Marchen Awakens Romance. MAR for short used to be on Cartoon Network but got banished to Toonami Jetstream, which isn't that bad a fate. Its hanging out with Zatch Bell and Samurai Jack. Nice companions.
I'd give a synopsis but you can look those up if you want.
