Career Day

On Friday I participated in Career Day at school. Well it wasn’t really at the school but rather Fort Monmouth. I shadowed the area of management. It was pretty cool. I met the IT staff and got to see a demo of some software. Pretty neat stuff. I forgot what it’s called though, even the acronym. That another thing I learned, everything in the army has a acronym. I also got to see the NOC (I think that’s what is was called). Pretty sweet stuff, even with unclassified screens ;) Naturally I had asked a few questions about how an IT job in the army is like. Pretty long hours and 24/7 phone calls. At 11:30 it was time for lunch, which was a buffet of salad, chicken, pasta, ravioli and something else that was the best but I have no clue what it was… A few people spoke as well while lunch was going on. After lunch, it was the end of the day and while waiting for the bus to arrive I picked up some loot from the Earth Day program that was going on. Scored two bags and a bunch of sample stuff. Soon after the bus arrived back to the school where we watched Young Frankenstine in the PAC until the end of the school day.

It was pretty fun and I’d defiantly do it again. Those who dropped out missed a hell of a day.

Brawl has arrived…

I got Brawl today and it is by far the best game Nintendo has ever released. It might even knock a few classics out of their places. Game play is fun, there’s a lot to unlock, the camera shows what’s going on in full, and the controls are pretty easy. If you’ve got the money, get it. I know I’ve said that a lot on this blog but I really freaking mean it.

ZREO’s second part of Open Symphony

Well the long waited for second “movement” of Open Symphony from Zelda Reorchestrated was realised last night at 10 PM EST and it’s absolutely beautiful. I’ll admit it brought me to tears the first time I heard it and that’s something that hasn’t happened for three year. I forgot how good it felt. The second movement is called Memories of Kakariko and is available for download from the ZREO page in two bitrates, 160 or 320. In addition, Open Symphony means it’s open for others to make their own arrangements as the sheet music is also available for download.
If you’re a Zelda Fan, you want want to miss this. If you aren’t a Zelda fan, I still really highly recommend taking a listen and downloading it if you like the tracks. Movement III should be realized the end of March.

OMG! Two posts in a row :P

Just posting to say my school day went as expected. Best day I’ve had all year. Next week will be even better - a 4 day week with 4 day weekend. Plus that week has valentine’s day and freshmen transition (for me means shortened periods and study hall at the end of day. Woot!)

Well I didn’t have a perfect day; not because there’s no such thing as the word “perfect” in my dictionary, but because my schedule plans for next year are now all messed up. Read the rest of this entry »
