I have internet access again! We\’re using Net Zero now. That banner bar is so annoying, but anyway it\’s only till I get back to school. I finally got around to installing my CD burner on Saturday. I gotta find some stuff to burn to CD.

I\’m back at home now. Brought back my computer and a bunch of other stuff. I probably won\’t be posting much until the beginning of January. My parents use Alta Vista\’s free internet access, and I think it\’s ending in a few days. So I\’ll be without internet access for a few weeks. Kill me now. Anyway, I\’m off to Las Vegas in a few hours. Vegas baby, Vegas!

Damnit, this sucks. All my roommates are finished with finals but I have 1 more tomorrow. Earlier tonight they were making sushi and playing strip poker or something. But tomorrow, tomorrow at 3:30, I\’ll be free!

Electrocuted Man Rises From the Dead. Uh oh, flesh eating zombies! We\’re all doomed.
