If I had known how useful RSS feeds were, I would have started using them years ago! I started a few days and it has proved immensely helpful just a few hours after I started. -CF

Ever have any fears where you don't want to tell people of that fear because then they will become fearful/paranoid along with you? I just don't want to tell anyone whenever I am standing at a crosswalk corner that I fear a car could suddenly veer over the curb and hit me. You see what I did there. -CF (Seriously, that would be terrible small talk while you wait for the light to change.)

Great movie. I really enjoyed it, much more than I thought I would. I am really glad I saw it. Tangled was funny, sweet, scary, tense, rewarding...and much more. Very enjoyable. Right before seeing it I realized this was one of those Disney movies that was also a musical, but I soon got over that worry because it was just fantastic. What was also neat was Zachary "Chuck" Levi voiced Flynn, the main dude. -CF

Wow. What a great lead up. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 was so well done. And the acting was great. Just everything about that, book inconsistencies aside since they didn't screw up the movie, was really good. I also liked how they told Beedle's story of the Hallows. Can Summer come already? I'm going to have to dress up for that one... It was especially neat being there with everyone else, because everyone was excited and ready to watch a good movie they have been anticipating probably since the 7th book came out, or the first movie. -CF

All men everywhere should strive to be like this man. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go learn how to wrestle a bear. -CF

But I'm seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 today at midnight! So stoked. ALSO: This is my first midnight Potter thing. I had never done a book event at midnight, and aside from working the midnight show of HP6 (seeing is 6 hours before those people ) never seen the movie at midnight either. Excited does not begin to explain my mindset right now, and it is almost hard to believe I am actually doing it! -CF

"Wouldn't it be a terribly interesting thing if you, the person you think you are, and the person other people think you are could be in a room together? They would be such very different people! Would they be friends or enemies?" Oh how very interesting indeed. I guess the closest way to doing this would be to watch a candid video of you for a day, or something. Get to see how you act from that different perspective. -CF

As I sat writing about LEGO for an English paper, I realized that I am really glad I stuck with building throughout any ridicule I received during the ages where is was socially unacceptable. Where would I be today and what would I be doing if I did not have LEGO in my life? I dare not think about that. Also, is it just me or are messenger bags becoming popular? Even my roommate who criticized me for having one now uses a side bag. -CF

...kicked my NaNo novel in the butt. Even worse that last year, where at least I was writing over halfway through before I realized I had work to actually do. This year the work is just screaming at me not to ignore it. Ug. Oh well. I hope I can write some fun stuff sooner or later, but NaNo is such a nice time to do it. November, however, is not. -CF

...was typed from my new iPod Touch. And by new I mean 2nd gen 32 gb that was my friend's until last night when he gave it to me. So I told him he can't get mad if I buy him a good Christmas present. -CF Edited for formatting.

Remember the entry with the essay that was a rickroll? I used it today to rickroll my English class. Everyone has to give presentations of prose pieces twice a semester, alone or with a partner. My friend and I presented today, picking apart a piece from our textbook. But before that, I pulled up that image, saying something along the lines of "oh, I found this online and found it interesting..." and after a few moments a few classmates started to chuckle, one even saying "oh, rickroll."

Class registration was this morning, and I was fortunate enough to snag not only all the classes I wanted, but then switch one class for another with no problem. (Registration is so frustrating sometimes because there are 1000 students from one class logging in to the system all at 8:00. I didn't get through until 8:03 or something, and kept having to refresh the page.) *American Literature 1850-1920 While I would rather take the more modern Am. lit class, not offered this semester, I figured I needed to take one class from the three remaining English sections for my major next semester, and this was the least objectionable from the six choices. *Web Page Writing From the "choose 4" category for my major, I actually complete that requirement this semester, so this is an elective that will help with my career path. *Poetry Writing One of the two creative writing classes (I tried for the prose course this semester, but did not get in), I did not think I would take this. But then one of my friends said he got in yesterday with his registration, so I signed up too. *Religions of the East I felt this would be an interesting and informative course to take. Plus it is with the teacher I had twice last semester who was really good. This is her area and she does a well with her courses. *Modern Philosophy The final filler course, I added this in the morning to have it replace Public Speaking, which was a night course, though apparently would have been with a good teacher. It gives me three MWF classes in a row (11-2), however, but will be a better schedule than having a 3-hour night class. I hope most of my books are available in an electronic type, so I can justify wanting a Nook. -CF

Two things are sure to happen on the fifth of November: 1) People will watch V for Vendetta. 2) NaNo novelists will continue frantically writing. The point is, this is the third year in a row I watched V for Vendetta on the fifth of November, having been introduced to it by a friend freshmen year, and I still like it as much as the first (and second) time I viewed it. -CF (Currently on a Firefly quoting fest in a friend's status. )

My friend had this grand idea of going Trick-Or-Treating this coming Halloween. You know, something to do. Unfortunately I was told that was illegal. I did a quick internet search and found this: What a turn-off! I also plan on asking a police officer next time I see one on campus if it true (well, it is, just want to hear it from someone) and just why that is (safety, sure, but they're spoiling our fun!). I still haven't had a chance to wear my Eleventh Doctor costume yet, and now it seems as if I never might. -CF

I'll be participating in National Novel Writing Month again this year, like I did last year. (Note: last year I stopped 2/3rds through November and at 26,000 words because I had 30+ pages of papers to write.) This year I have looked over my weekly schedule, and after taking out the necessities/required duties of my day (eat, class, work, sleep, school stuff), I realized I should not have a problem getting 12,500 words a week. I just have to be diligent and not waste my time online. After talking with my roommate, who will also be doing it, I have chosen to write a sci-fi story that has been in my head for over a year now. I am pretty confident in it, especially after he confirmed it was original. Be my guest and talk to me about it via IM, I would love to share, but I'm paranoid about posting my story ideas online. But I can give you a tentative title: When Worlds Collide. (Especially since I want a few opinions on the way the story should go.) I'm pretty excited for this. I'm confident and ready to have another good time writing. -CF

I updated/completed my collection of Switchfoot albums/songs the other day with the help of a friend, so I have greatly been enjoying all the other CDs I previously had not had (which was all but Letdown and Sound). I am especially enjoying Oh! Gravity and Hello Hurricane, their two CDs I wanted most and the two I was quite looking forward to listening to. They do not disappoint. Favorites include American Dream, Hello Hurricane, The Sound, and Mess of Me, to name a few. I think this will be good building music. -CF

Fascinating. The first episode was brilliant and exciting. The second was more adventure, but maybe I was too distracted to see the deeper mystery. The third was also amazing, especially the build-up. Wow. "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research!" (I sort of feel that way, for I notice things that if I ever told them to someone I did they'd call me a creeper. I'm just merely observant, sheesh. (Usually.)) -CF

But I could be, no? Fedora, wide-brimmed like Indiana Jones. Oh so tempting to buy. I'm not one to wear ball-caps around. I'll wear one camping, absolutely. It's necessary. But I didn't even wear my geeked-out cap with a BrickFest patch on it at BrickFair. But a fedora? Now that is something that appeals to me. I like to think that if I had one I would wear it around often. I don't know what I'm worried about. Most of my IRL friends would accept it (and some have already said they are pretty cool hats), and besides, I don't really worry about what others think of my image anyway. Plus then I could put a piece of paper in it that says "PRESS"! -CF

The season premier was awesome, but last week's episode was absolutely golden! Looking forward to episode three. -CF

Things to watch within the next four days: -Stargate Universe's 3rd episode of its current 2nd season. -Castle's latest episode: Steampunk themed. -Stephen Moffat's Sherlock. Plus a 3-5 episode and movie Firefly marathon with my roommates and friends. (And hopefully a girl my roommate knows and will introduce me to. :3 ) I want to figure out some good food of the 'Verse to make for it. So far I'm thinking Ice Planets (from The Message) might be a little hard, but I could rewrap granola bars as "Fruity Oaty Bars" and make those fun-size Hershy bars look like the food packets from the first episode. And strawberries. Strawberries are a must. B) -CF

I received a $150 bike for Christmas 3 or 4 years ago. It has been doing well, more or less, except more on the less side as of recently. I had not really been using it at all for the past two months because the front brakes were messed up. I took it to a local bike store/shop this past weekend (their website said they would work on brakes for $40, a reasonable price IMO after all the unsuccessful work I had tried on it, including advice from my bike-savvy uncle) and they said they would not fix it because of all the other problems my bike had, like a few weak spokes and the pedal/gear shaft area was a little loose (and probably one or two other things I forget or can not describe). They said it would cost, after considering labor prices, more that what would be a good idea to pay for a fix-up and that I would essentially be better off buying a better, non-Target bike. (It's a Schwinn, good enough right? The bike shop guys said Schwinn just did not make bikes like they used to.) Oh, they also would not just fix my brakes because of the liability from not fixing the other stuff; understandable I guess, yet slightly annoying. I think I fixed the brakes and can now use it getting to class, but I do not know if I will be going on 5-mile long road rides. Anyway, this winter break when I go back home, my dad and I are buying me a new bike, around $500 so I know I am getting something good from a good company. It is a good thing I have a job on campus now, so essentially my paychecks are going towards that. (Which, unfortunately, I have ruled out buying an iPod Touch, though the biggest reason is because my dad would then find out about my lack of thriftiness after devoting a bunch of funds to a bike.) -CF

Does anyone have any strong opinions or facts on these eReaders? I am half-tempted to get one, and was focusing on Amazon's Kindle until recently someone had some great info on Barnes and Noble's Nook. My biggest questions/concerns: -Are buying books for it extremely cost-effective compared to the hard-version of a book? -Are there ways to "borrow" a book for a short period of time, as I get most of my novels from the library? (And I know that really old books are usually free.) -Are text-books available? While I could not resell them after the semester is over, if the price is significant enough then it might be worth it. ("Cost-effective" not including the actual price of the eReader. I'm inclined to put this on my Christmas list, though I still want to know about text-books especially if that will help me.) I have played around with a Kindle twice and really like it, as far as reading a standard book goes. The size and weight is really a turn-on too. I know that it also has a wifi browser (and for more money could access some phone company's 3G network, not that I want that). I feel like taking advantage of its capabilities, being someone that likes technology, but the price and principles could make me stick to actual books for now until it really suits my needs. -CF
