So, my one source of knowledge of the outside world, Google News (and no, I'm not conspiratorizing something by posting about Google on a Google owned Internet Shoutbox linked to a Google email address) tells me that Apple is doing very well curtesy of the I Pod and considering the number of said device that I've seen around campus, I can see why.
However, on another note, Google also has a newspot about J-Lo and Ben breaking up, the featured picture for this of course being Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider movie, a media production I have so little faith in I still can't recall the actress's name.
I realize that (Misc) has been the tag of most of my recent posts, but that's pretty much what I'm about when it comes to blogging. I've buried my Rants for now, I'd rather landslide the past than keeping it topside and angry, it is all stuff that I'm past anyways. School topics will be the next to surface with the revivication of Tech. Those and WoW stuff at least.

(Misc) Hey look, I'm blogging!
Yes, that's right. As the New Year Begins (or has began, I think I've already missed the boat on that one) no one really wants to be Shipping anything at the UPS Store, so I think I might manage to actually finish this damn post like I've been meaning too. I once again don't have my notes with me (which I figure is tantamount to a sign from on high that I should just blog my stuff when it first comes to me, but oh well).
So, before I delve back into my previous intentions I wish my brother a happy 18th Birthday and everyone a Wonderful New Year.
I think the singlehanded highlight of the Christmas season, besides procratinating customer's expression when we told them how much it would cost to guarantee their 67 pound packages delivery to California in time for Christmas would have to be Jessica's: "My husband brought me coffee, foolish mortal." Nothing like a statement like that to liven up a day, or coffee to liven up a day for that matter, not that I drink the stuff...yet.
So over the Christmas break I went and saw The Incredibles with my family. The theatre (look, I'm getting all proper and European on you) wasn't exceedingly crowded, however it was stratified enough so that I ended up sitting only with David while Ian and my parents took another row a bit further back. Now, I must say, I was dissapointed by the direction that Pixar had taken with the pre-movie animation that they have, as it was no where near the typical level or humor, though still quite well done. The movie itself was fabulous and I was throughly amused. Now, as no one but myself knows, I like what I call movie corollaries. These are, simply put, other things that, if you have seen them, make watching a movie more amusing. In general these things bear similarities to certain parts in a movie, and thus can invoke a sort of nostalgia or subliminal echo of previous enjoyment. Now usually there is a whole slew of corollaries that occur, and almost always you can find some way to work Final Fantasy in there in one manner or another, but there are the big ones from The Incredibles, in my opinion:
Marvel and DC Comics specifically Mutant Apocalypse and the Fantastic Four - Duh.
Bakaretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel) - Anytime Sei's driving the Megavan on the highway.
Star Wars - Speeder bike scene on the forest moon of Endor.
Farcry - The general island scenery of the game.
The Incredibles is also responsable for what David and I hold to be the single greatest evil mastermind's henchman's drinking game ever. Simply put, everytime they run away in fear, take a shot.
For those of us without superweapons capable of inducing mass hysteria in the general populace or alliegance to people thusly endowed, I suggest this simplier alternative drinking game borrowed from Queen of Wands.
