I am selling my tablet PC on Facebook*. Someone with very similar diction (or lack thereof) and a similarly attractive picture with the first name of "Mary" exchanged a few messages with me the other night and then said "Paypal made me realize they need a copy of the receipt before sending you the money" or something like that. That was right after "she" told me I'd be shipping to a university in Nigeria. Same story about "her" nephew.

How can one country have so many terrible scam artists in it? And I don't mean "terrible people," I mean that they're so bad at it.

Be regards,

* By the by, it is a Toshiba M205-S810 with 2GB of RAM. It has all the specs otherwise of the stock unit. It has a broken bit of the bezel on the screen (there's a small piece of plastic missing) but this doesn't affect operation at all. These are completing on eBay for ~$410 with only 512MB of RAM, but because a) of the crack and b) I love you, I can let it go for $390.

The last boss is hard.

Graphics: 8/10
From the gleaming gold of the Dome to the picturesque campus scenes, to the dizzying swirl of activity at the Backer, the imagery is simply gorgeous. All without a hint of rendering artifacts, too, and I didn't even need twin SLI 8800GTXs to see it. The only real problem is the permacloud in the winter scenes; that does tend to get a bit boring.

Sound: 9/10
Somehow, you just never get tired of singing along to "CHEER, CHEER FOR OLD NOTRE DAME!"

Play Control: 5/10
Sometimes you just don't know how the hell to get ANYTHING done.

Multiplayer: 10/10
You end up meeting the greatest players on the Notre Dame Network. You really do.

Replayability: 0/10
No. Just no.

No, I won't be picking up the controller on Grad School again. However, Grad School 2: This Time, It's Doctoral or the spinoff Law School: So You Think You Like to Read? just might be subjects for a future review. You never know.*

(* Really it is totally my plan to go for a Ph.D. in EE.)

No, really.

I'm going to take some of my favorite snippets from the Penny Arcade discussion forum thread:

I don't even know where to go with this.

Are there really people like this woman in the world?

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been preoccupied -- really preoccupied. I have life-altering things happening to me in the near future -- all of which are academic-related -- and have been distracting myself with everything I could find because I am incredibly, stupidly avoidant. I'm trying to fix this, but as you can tell from this entry, I'm not being very successful.

It's very possible I will complete the process of utterly ruining my life in the next few months by failing to defend my thesis on time, getting thrown out of graduate school for being a lazy son of a bitch, and failing to apply for jobs on time. I'll let you know what happens.

I am stubborn and stupid -- in the "incapable of making good decisions despite knowing what's best for myself" sense, and I don't know how to fix either of these.

I love this so much. And I want one now.

Gravel? Seriously? Uh. Okay. I'm still voting Obama, unless the primary here swings heavily in his favor in which case I'll vote Kucinich on general principles.



I guess this is mostly accurate. I think I believe that people are basically neutral-ish but are occasionally moved by altruism.

Looking at the mirror this morning has revealed something to me.

I am pretty sure I managed to squash a spider into my hair last night when my head hit the pillow.

Is Dave Grohl incredibly awesome?

Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace is vastly superior to In Your Honor.

Rumors of my literacy apparently have as well.

I am really angry at you.

I don't know how else to say it or why I couldn't express it before next to the lake, but I am. I am mad because I feel like you didn't give me a chance in general, mad because you ditched me at a party in particular, and mad at myself for pouring my heart out to someone I wasn't a hundred percent sure I could trust with it.

I feel incredibly stupid for having put this much work into a relationship with someone who ultimately didn't feel it was worth the trouble or would be worth the trouble in the future.

I am tempted to say something mean in an attempt to hurt you, and could probably think of a couple of choice things, but in the final analysis that wouldn't really make either one of us feel any better.

Mostly I just feel like a giant asshole who exposed himself to a huge amount of damage from someone who almost certainly never took him seriously. I'm sure there have been plenty of movies made about older men who make complete idiots of themselves over younger women who really don't care. Maybe I should watch a few to get an idea of how I should be feeling instead of sitting here and being mad at the world.

If you don't like the fact that I had to write this instead of saying it in person, too bad. I can't bring myself to apologize to you for anything right now.

All I wanted to do was treat you like a princess, talk about Dante and politics and friends and football, stare into your eyes and tell you you're beautiful, and take you to my roof to watch the stars under a blanket, and I feel like a complete retard for even wanting that much.

You shamed me by letting me fall in love with you, but maybe that wasn't really your fault, because I'm only your first and you don't really know how any of this works yet.

Sometimes I would let myself think about asking you to come to my mom's or my dad's for Thanksgiving or Christmas, but mostly I just wanted simple stuff. That's all. The simple stuff is beautiful, and is the foundation upon which everything else is built.

And mostly, right now, I am really angry at you.

FIGHT ME, YOU FOOLS -- IF YOU DARE

Because I never replied to any of it, I just wanted to say to everyone who tried to reassure me during my little mental breakdown a couple months ago: Thank you. You know who you are.

And you all rock.

AW, NOW GET BACK T'WORK, YA MUGS

Hi kids,

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks (Air America's morning show) will be in Chicago Thursday night for Yearly Kos and is inviting us listener folk to join him for a few drinks. If anyone is interested in going to Chicago with me to hang out, let me know.

A) Drop off the keys to the apt at the leasing office
B) Call the utility companies and disconnect said utilities
C) Call the landlord guy about the dehumidifier
D) Pay rent and deposit
E) Pay car payment
F) Look into methods of using a standard air conditioner in my room, because omg the smell and the humidity in this basement is pwning me

With respect to this. Does anyone know how I could jury-rig a standard window-mount air conditioning unit to exhaust out a tube like one of those INSANELY EXPENSIVE portables? Why do they have to be INSANELY EXPENSIVE anyway?

G) Research? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
H) Check eBay auctions for portable A/C units.

Which is a pity, because the art really is not bad.
