So I finally gave in and downloaded Steam so I could play Team Fortress 2 at long last. I'm... still waiting for it to finish downloadin. Over four hours ago, the download begin, and it's not yet half done. Probably because so many people are on Central's wireless right now, which would explain why my connection seems to have crapped out on me. Oh well, I can wait a little longer to erect dispensers and backstab enemies and all that. It shall be worth it, I am sure.
Inception was yesterday. Brilliant, brilliant movie. I loved it. It made me think, and I like it that I finally saw a movie that expected me to be intelligent for once. The acting and concept was great, the actors were amazing to watch (Tommy from Third Rock From the Sun is Arthur!), and the end... mystifying but cool. Also, Ellen Page. Just saying.
Also, I went to Best Buy, since my parents somehow picked up a gaming magazine, published by Best Buy (I think) that had coupons for games. So I picked up Metroid: Other M and Dragon Quest IX for $15 off apiece. I haven't started either yet since I got back and got more settled into the new room today, and I will attempt some Dragon Quest tomorrow. I look forward to it, it's a classic series that I've never explored before. It's supposed to be a really deep game with some great character customization, so I have a feeling it'll be fun. As for Metroid, my only prior experience is Fusion and Smash Bros. So... yeah. But people with similar tastes to mine like it, so I have a feeling I will enjoy it as well.
Improv auditions were tonight. It was a little odd being the person looking for talent instead of trying to prove my own for once. About nine people showed up, and the whole thing was only about two hours. They were... interesting, to say the least. There were ups and downs, and there was one really annoying guy we all gave a big resounding "NO!" to ASAP. Well, not in person, but it was a unanimous decision even before we were all done. Some people were genuinely good, or had good potential though. My two favorites made it in, so I'm pleased, although I think we should have taken just one more person. We will see how it works out.
No class until 2:15 tomorrow. Technically Labor Day weekend isn't over for me yet.
Oh, and I got another jacket yesterday. With elbow patches. Life is bliss.
Current TF2 progress: around 2970 MB out of over 8300. If this count makes it to another post I'm gonna scream.
