Random Thoughts, 1-14-05

I reformatted my computer today. A virus ran haywire on my laptop. And I let it fester for a year or so. Finally I just went ahead and went for the full cleaning. At the suggestion of my suitemate Stu, master of the Internet, I am now using avast as my antivirus program.

Two days ago, the friend that I've known the longest (since kindergarten) turned 21. John was celebrating his birthday today...back home in Ft. Smith. Curse Tulsa for starting a week before everyone else!

I went to my first women's college basketball game ever, pitting the Tulsa Golden Hurricane against the Rice Lady Owls. TU dominated and improved to 11-3, and signs point to us to having a pretty good team this year.

A cool thing about Tulsa is that students get free tickets to all the football and basketball games. I can't complain about free Division I games. It's especially a good deal for me since the basketball arena is literally across the street from my dorm, and the football stadium is little down the street.

The sad thing about the women's game was it was "Pack the House" night. $2 tickets to the general public. I'm not sure if they even got a third of the seats filled.

Roman Colloquium paper: done

Boo yah! I turned in my Roman Colloquium paper today. Now I can get that incomplete off my record.

And, in half an hour, I'm following one of my New Year's resolutions by playing basketball. Might as well get some exercise in.

( Also, I'm feeling a bit sheepy. )

"The Bear" and ego boosting

luminita showed me "The Bear" project. It's a pretty cool photography project on perspectives.

Speaking of perspectives, we look at the word through our rose colored glasses. It's always about us, right? Then I saw this pretty cool meme on shawnj.

1. Reply to this post if you'd like some ego boosting.

2. Watch my journal over the next few days for a post just about you, only you, and why I think whatever I do about you.

3. Post these instructions in your journal and pass it on.

Who doesn't like a little ego boosting every now and then?
