I filled out a Cornell alumni survey today; only after about six different email reminders about it. I try to fill out surveys honestly, I really do. Filling out the survey made me realize that I'm quite proud to be an alumnus of Cornell, although I don't actually think about this fact on a regular or even semi-regular basis.
I have grown to not care for upstate/central NY very much, but that's mostly due to the fact that I feel like I should be in a city and I absolutely despise cold weather. I shouldn't associate those bad feelings with Cornell in any way, since looking back it was a really good four years for undergraduate and a mildly decent three years for graduate.
If I move to Washington there are probably Cornell Alumni events there. Is attending said events as lame as I might imagine it to be? I have no idea. It's something worth considering, but I'm unsure on the whole idea.
I saw Zombieland last week; loved it. The best part of the movie is something I won't talk about here because it's something of a (totally freakin' awesome) spoiler and knowing it ahead of time will take some of the enjoyment out of the movie. Needless to say, that's not the only good part. If you are hesitant because it's a zombie movie, then don't be. I'm not a big zombie movie fan, myself... didn't even really love Shaun of the Dead, which people constantly cream over. This movie is more of a comedy with a zombie backdrop instead of the other way around. Funny throughout. Go and see it. No joke it's probably my third favorite movie of the year (behind Up! and Away We Go).
It's getting cold again. It might even snow on Friday. This drives me crazy... it's not even Halloween yet. I have nothing more to add here without descending in to a very negative rant about my feelings on the matter.
Hmmm... I beat two separate Guitar Hero games this weekend (in to yesterday). I finally finished GH5 on Saturday, which took awhile because there are so many songs on the game. I got my free copy of Guitar Hero:Van Halen in the mail on Saturday, as well. I finished that yesterday. It was easier, seemingly. I got 4 perfect songs and I've only gotten one in my life prior to that. I think the trick is that I finally mastered the hammer on/pull offs (HOPOs as they are called in the game). I never realized it before but if the top of the note is glowing white then you don't have to strum, you just need to press the fret. Little trick for those of you who might not have known that. Or maybe everyone does and I'm just a retard. I don't know. I might go back and try both of them on hard at some point, but not now, because...
Just started a new game, one I have been looking forward to for awhile. It's called Fallout 3 and a lot of people consider it the best game on XBox360. I was waiting to pick it up because the Game of the Year edition with all of the paid DLC (downloadable content for the non video game players) didn't come out until yesterday, now I can finish the entire true game without paying $100 for all of it (DLC isn't cheap!). I started playing last night... so far, so good. It's set in 2277, 200 years after a nuclear war between China and the US. You live in a bunker called The Vault and then you have to leave and examine the area around Washington DC in a post apocalyptic society. It combines elements of a roleplaying game and a first person shooter. Not much I can really say about it so far, since I only put in about 90 minutes of play but I think it's going to be awesome. I have high hopes.
Ok - back to killing time at work. I'm kind of already getting phased out even though I might not be leaving. Fun times. Well, maybe that's not accurate since all of the people who can not directly report to the FDA next month have a bit less to do, but still... boring days at times. Sigh.
