Captain's Log:

May is passing quickly and the Wade graduation is almost here. I only have six classes left and then I am done teaching—at least for a few years. I will continue to be the AD, but I am going to stop teaching so that I can concentrate on my own degree and get it done.

Manchester United plays the Chelsea fags tomorrow in the FA Cup final, so if I do not post anytime soon it is because MU lost and I am so angry that I do not want to write something I will regret.

Apparently, Microsoft has started banning people from Xbox live because of the firmware update. I just have to remember not to play any burned games for the next few months and I should be ok. This also means that I cannot play my new Spiderman 3 game, but so be it. Unfortunately, Marc was the first one I know to fall. Chris should be next. I am determined to resist and remain safe for as long as I can. Only time will tell if the MS Nazis learn of my altered state and seek to annihilate my live privileges.

Since my last post, a month ago, Spider-man 3 was released in theaters and broke every opening weekend box office record. I saw the movie at midnight, Friday morning, and I thought it was great. Venom was awesome and the CGI was excellent. The Sandman was alright, but I think that they could have found a better villain. I cannot wait to see what villains they decide to use in SP4, which comes out in 2010.

Shrek the Third was released today; however, I have not decided whether or not I am going to see that movie in theaters. Next week, I will be going to see the newest and last installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean. I cannot wait to see how they end that trilogy.

None of my favorite authors have released books recently, so I have been trying to catch up on a few books I have lying around the house. I have only two books left in the Ender series, which are excellent. The 24 Declassified book that I read was alright. It was fast reading, but the timeline the author used in the book was bogus. It could have been better. I will be reading the second one, because it is written by a different person. Hopefully, he is a better writer. I also finished reading the first book in the Emperor series, which is awesome. Those books are great, and I will definitely be getting the next three to finish the series. The author, Conn Iggulden, came out with a new book last month called Genghis, so I will be reading that as well when I am done with Emperor.

I believe that will be all for today. Later.
