One of my fellow classmates, I'll call him Komrade, is of a fairly liberal persuasion and monopolizes most of the discussion time.  Now I'm pretty liberal, but Jebus Murphy Brown is he flamingly liberal.  Peacenik-crunchy-tree-hugging-socialist liberal.  So I started trolling him.

Watching Komrade flail and squirm and make every effort to refute my evil conservative rhetoric is loads of fun.  It's like I'm the embodiment of everything wrong with the U.S. and telling me off is the closest Komrade will come to spitting in Bush's face.  I haven't enjoyed a class this much in a while.

In other academic news, I got a 50% on my AI midterm.  I was depressed for about a week until the Prof. mentioned that my grade equals a B.  You'd think after four years at University I would have learned that a raw score doesn't relate to a letter grade in any standard way.  Silly me.

I mowed my lawn yesterday.  WTF?  November 6th is not mowing season.  I have to admit that mowing all the leaves in the yard was fun.  It was like vacuuming but with destructive spinning blades of death!

Dear Editor of the Internets,

Please halt all comments relating to the computer game called "Civilizations."  After reading about the aforementioned game I was obligated to play it for 10 hours straight.  I plan on graduating this Spring and, as you are well aware, I need to pass all my classes in order to follow through on this plan.  I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Vertical Frankenstein

p.s. The whole late clock/stacky thing wasn't trolling.  That's just a practical joke.  Just sayin'.
