Su Doku

I realized a little while ago that I have missed some days posting over the last week. I stated to think about why and realized that it is because I have become engrossed in Su Doku. It is an online game that Roxi told me about last week and ever since I started playing, I find myself trying to solve new puzzles whenever I have spare time. I would describe the rules but the game page does a much better job at it. I will say this: beware anyone who likes games of logic and problem solving. Su Doku will control you if you let it. Now back to the game!!!

Drizzit

I just finished listening to a CD that my friend Stacy sent me of her cousin's band Drizzit. I have to say that I too am not what you would call a "metal head," but it was a decent record with pretty good production. All-in-all not too bad for a full length debut album. I especially liked the vocalist's style. Many times I was reminded of Mike Patton's vocals with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Check out the samples on their website and if you are in a metal mood, buy yourself a copy of "American True Metal" and support independent artists. They will also be playing a show on January 6 at Pop's in Sauget, IL. Be there and raise your devil horns high!

Epsilon

Yesterday, Tropical Storm Epsilon was upgraded to hurricane status making it the fourteenth named storm of the year. More importantly, it achieved hurricane status two days after the end of hurricane season. Although I predicted that a hurricane would form in December, I don't exactly count Epsilon as it has been brewing since the last days of November. At present, Epsilon won't likely make landfall but it is still quite a feat that it developed in the Atlantic and has sufficiently strengthened so late in the year.

Ever wondered why ESPN sucks now?

The hilarious Every Day Should Be Saturday has compiled a list of the 52 reasons why ESPN/ABC/Disney sucks when it comes to sports coverage. I agree completely especially to any of the grievances against Chris Berman. I've always thought that guy was a real tool.

One of us...One of us...

A new study indicates that 6-10% of the Internet users in the United States are addicted to the web to the level of personal destruction. Some would say that I am addicted but the fact that I still posses basic social skills is evidence to the contrary. If you want to see what real Internet addicts are like, go to any message board on any subject on the Internet. I've often wondered what the source of income is for message board posters. It would stand to reason that they would all be out of work due to their unhealthy obsessions. It's a wonder they can even scrounge together the money to pay for their broadband connections.
