Eriq’s Blag

Art was bullshit, that’s all I’m gonna say. I had a few problems remembering how to do stuff on the Trig final, but I’m sure I got the bonus and the to proving identity problems. So, Pwnd.

Today had my History and poetry finals. History was ok; that is, I thought I did well, until my teacher came to my poetry final and told me to come to study hall when I was done. i thought it was because my second essay was near complete shit, but then that doesn’t actually make sense, he wouldn’t give me time and force me to fix it. No, it turns out that I missed a entire page of multiple choice questions and he didn’t want to have to take away all those points, so he let me finish them. It makes sense that I missed some because when I was taking it, I reached the end of the first set of multiple choice and was surprised because it hadn’t taken me that long. Poetry on the other hand was horrible, we had to prepare 3 outlines for different essays before hand and we would be told in class which to write. Turns out that we got to choose, unfortunately I didn’t really know what to write for any of them, so It came out as complete and utter shit. Too bad since it’s worth 100 points.

Today, instead of studying for Trig, which I will likely regret, I wrote a plugin that makes a list of bands that I have had stuck in my head and displays the latest one beneath the site title. There is also a page that display the list accessible on the sidebar or by clicking the name of the current band.

Especially when it doesn’t get done.

Shooter 4

Fuck yes! Here’s another version of the game I’m working on:

AWSD to move, mouse aims and shoots.

Shooter V3

I really want to keep working on it, but I’ve already wasted half the day and I have yet to study for finals…witch are bullshit since they don’t really test your knowledge, only how much you can cram into your skull the day before. Although, most test I take do show my understanding because I don’t study all that much.

On Friday the power was out for around 21 hours. For most of the day…I can’t actually remember what I did; not a good sign. I know that that evening I read my history notes with a flashlight. Apparently I missed the first new episode of Stargate Atlantis, bugger.

I have a super power. It is the ability to waste large amounts of time by doing nothing productive and afterwards having no clue where all of the time went. I usually use this power to avoid homework. Unfortunately my control of this power is very weak. For instance, right now I should be doing homework, but instead I’m writing a post about how I’m not doing homework. It’s like friggin magic.

I don’t want to go back to school tomorrow. Not that I have anything better to do.

Last year, we tried to change the ultimate team’s name, but failed. This year we may actually manage to change it. We had a brainstorming session today, but most of the names weren’t that great. Then, someone suggested something like Kirby Hell Hounds and that made me think of demons, which made me think of daemon. Daemons were/are Greek spirits, see here, but it is also the name for a computer program that runs in the background without user interaction, see here. It can be pronounced either demon or daymon (I like the second better). I thought this fitting, because we wanted a name that suggested that we had some fight in us plus it shows are geekiness without telling anyone directly. Here’s a logo that I came up with:

This post is poorly written…

            Uh, hey. This is Eric.

I was just calling,

You know,

To ask

If you could

Maybe

Help me out.

So,

When you get the chance,

If you could call me

That’d be great.

Thanks.

BEEP

            Hey,

            Eric calling.

            I never heard back

From you.

I’d really like to talk

Sometime.

Only if you have the time

Of course.

BEEP

            It’s me

Again.

Still haven’t heard from you.

I could really use some help

Or,

If that’s too much,

Some advice

Would be fine.

BEEP

            Me again.

            I guess

You must be really busy.

That’s fine,

But when you have some free time,

It’d be nice if you called.

Thanks.

BEEP

            Ok,

            So

I’m really starting to lose it now.

I’m not sure

How much more of this

I can take.

Please

I’m begging you.

What have I done?

BEEP

            I’ve been thinking

            And

I realized

            That you don’t

Like me.

I clearly did something

Somewhere

That you didn’t agree with

And now I’m being punished.

Well you know what?

Whatever it was I did,

Fuck you!

I don’t need you!

I’ll just figure it out myself.

You’ve never been there for me before!

Why should you start now?

So just forget it!

BEEP

            Oh and by the way,

            That whole

            Christianity thing,

            Yeah,

You really fuck that up.

One more thing,

I’m keeping the jacket.

God isn’t returning my calls.

I was supposed to write a 4 page essay on the purpose of poetry for Monday. It’s 10:17 Sunday night and I have 1 paragraph and a poem I wrote about my inability to find the purpose. Fuck.

Yay! Time of-oh wait. Never mind.

I can’t think of a title.

I’m still sick, but feel a little better. Thanksgiving break is coming [ok so I almost coughed up a lung right there] so that will be nice hopefully, but then you know how teachers think: “Oh! They have a break! That means they’ll have plenty of time to relax and write a 42 page essay!” That’s what they ALL think. They say they know that other teachers are giving us stuff, but it’s too late, they’re sure that this is the perfect assignment and that we can handle all the rest. BULLSHIT! Unless I missed the memo, breaks are meant to give us a chance to relax, to unwind, to escape the stress of fucking assignments. I thought of a title. I thought of something I want to program. It’s gonna be a simulation of single celled organisms and I reall want to make it look like a realistic electron scanning image. In other news, I finally completely completed “the Simpsons Hit and Run” with a little help from some maps, I had 2 gags that I couldn’t find and that’s all I needed to be 100%, though the maps didn’t really help because I wasn’t sure what gags I had already gotten. Turns out that I had missed the break in the fence around the telescope in the observatory on level 3 and 7. It’s a pretty awesome game, but I really want a free-range Simpsons game where you can go anywhere, with an accurate city layout (Hit and Run maps are so warped it’s painful) and where not all of the missions are based around cars, maybe that’s what the new Simpsons Game is, but I don’t know.
