Reformed Loser

For anyone what hasn't seen it yet.

Well, I tried to find something good to link to, but nothing was good enough. I've been experimenting with a couple of iTunes alarm clocks, iTunes Alarm Clock and iSnooze, because I'm late to class every day just about. They don't seem to help. I think I need to turn up the volume. iSnooze seems to be better; it's got options, while iTunes Alarm Clock just plays one song over and over.
I talked to my math teacher after class today, doesn't look like I'll be passing. Again, sad, and I'm sorry to let you down. I won't be withdrawing, because I want the skills and I don't want to waste time. I've actually already earned a B in this course, hopefully flunking it won't change that. Does that make any sense? If I can demonstrate mastery of the subject, AND I don't erase my previously-earned B, then next semester I'll just take the lab, which is the grade I need to fix.
Today at work I ate a jar of Hearts of Palm, which was pretty good.

In some ways, I really suck at math. It may be that I just suck at arithmetic, which wouldn't be so bad. That shortcoming can be solved with practice. It may be that there's a relatively short ceiling over what mathematical concepts I'm able to conceptualize. That would suck.
This is on my mind because for the past two nights I've sat down and done my homework, and it takes forever. I thought I could study trigonometry at school, and do a little calculus for kicks, but as it is I'll have to focus on one. I'll give it some time, see if things don't improve.
It's 2:30 in the morning right now, so I'll have to retire. I'm sampling some more 8bitpeoples right now, but I don't really have time to talk about it. I still have to find and append the sine wave/unit circle animation for this post before I go to bed.

I think the content at the other side of this link is awesome. It's two trailer movies for Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I am a cheerful consumerist, and shortly before buying my Wii, I began my transformation into Nintendo Fanboy.
Wii Sports was fun, Zelda was fairly disappointing...well, maybe I'll share all that another time. However, I will say that some of the most fun has been had delving into the Gamecube library.
I did a little research, and Super Smash Brothers Melee was recommended as a must-play several times. I have been, and it's very good.
It's a 2D fighting game, arena-style, with very simple controls. To attack, you use one of two buttons and a direction on the Control Stick. Control Stick speed also determines the type of attack. To defeat your opponent, you smash him off the field, similar to a Ring Out victory in other, more pedestrian fighting games.
That's all; I hope you enjoy the movies, and please share your thoughts.

EDIT: Among other things, I love the Snake bit at the end of the older movie. ShOo Taimu!

I turned 30 today and I still suck pretty hard. I didn't go to school today for reasons that I won't go into. I probably will not pass; I've definitely violated the parameters of the attendance policy. It's sad.

Take the Old Spice Experience test.
