Apathy is Death

For several days now I have been trying to force myself to go through the class notes for the class I have skipped for roughly a month now. It is ever so frustrating to be in freshman classes as a senior, even more so to be surrounded by ignorance and even worse still to have a class that posts the notes online while all the while giving out homework and taking down class participation and attendance scores... So I have an exam tomorrow, I've only been to class for the first day of the material covered on it, and I still can't bring myself to look over the class notes. But as so many of you know "Apathy is death" as it was so well put in KOTOR 2 TSL within the tomb of Ludo Kressh. The exact quote goes: "Apathy is death, worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects." It holds some good truth to it, and its fun to repeat so tell your friends.

For those of you whom I know that I have not seen in days or even weeks ..."fear not, for I am watchful," Along with two exams I have been organizing a fellowship for the tech guys since we all just sit in a corner and very few approach us on non-business related matters. So things have been busy... and I finally got the FCOM: Convergence mods working flawlessly with Oblivion... yeah that may actuially be a more-true answer. This weekend was full of plans, but miss communications among the organizers of said plans should have never been put in charge of organizing in the first place...

So I sit here, not reviewing the material for my two exams tomorrow, listening to a song lovingly titled "Tristram" by Matt Uelmen. A great choice of a name on Blizzard's part, for "tristis" in Latin means sad or emotionally bitter, thus with the neuter -um ending we could fudge translation a bit and call Tristram the town of sadness, sorrows, or pain if we stretch it beyond scholarly limits, quite fitting based on its history, poor Griswold, but at least Wert got what he deserved (little punk).

Wow, look at that, in the span of one post I seem to have touched upon references from at least four games, and more like six if you are more generous. On the topic of games now (not like I wasn't on it before, for they are always on my mind... its like a gift, its like I can't even control it)let us move on as I continue to not do my studying... This may be a long post for that very reason... I do have several qualms with FCOM, mainly that there are not enough health potions, seeing that every enemy is beefed up, and there are more of them, and every one summons more help you'd think that health would need to be abundant... but no, that is not the case. If that were fixed... and a few more items added, I think it would rank quite high on my list. You see, I am something of a self-proclaimed aficionado of games (not without good reason though) and though I can claim to know everything that the internet lets me, I happen to have a good deal of real world experience in that which pertains to these fake worlds. I am pleased with how much they follow the official lore, but that is a tale for another time.

Now, I believe it is time for a walk... ha ha ha, you didn't actuially think I was going to say that evil word study did you? I don't believe in such things... And that is official.
