QotD: Guns
Wednesday, March 31st, 2004 Question: Have you ever shot a gun?Yes. Everything from BB guns to Black Powder Rifles to .30-06’s.
You can thank Boy Scouts for my introduction to the world of guns. However, I’ve never gone hunting and don’t ever plan on it. And if you ask if I support gun control, the answer [...]
QotD: Gambling
Tuesday, March 30th, 2004Question: What’s the most you’ve ever lost gambling?
The most I ever lost in one trip was $70. Boy did that stink. Especially since before I lost the $70 I was up $50. That was a $120 swing in the matter of a half hour or so.
Overall, I’m $20 in the hole after [...]
QotD: Bush
Monday, March 29th, 2004Question: On a scale of 1-10, how well has Bush done? 1 = shitty, 10 = awesome.
I’d say a 2. At least there haven’t been any big terrorist attacks on our nation since 9/11. But Bush has done nothing but piss off the rest of the world. The war in Iraq is [...]
Norfolk, VA
Monday, March 29th, 2004For those that are curious, right now I’m at library in downtown Norfolk, VA. I’m in Norfolk for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. Yesterday (Friday), the Gopher’s (#7 seed) creamed the#3 seed, Boston College. Tomorrow at 7pm ET, we play the #1 seed, Duke.
It should be a good time. Although Duke’s [...]
QotD: Computer
Sunday, March 28th, 2004Question: How long have you been using your current computer?
I bought my first Mac, a Power Mac G5 sometime last fall. I own the Dual 2GHz edition with 1.5GB ram. The Power Mac is best described as fast as hell. Coincidentally, it is also the first Mac I’ve ever owned.
Prior to that [...]
QotD: Open Book Tests
Saturday, March 27th, 2004Question: How do you feel about open book tests?
They bug me when I know the source material really well because it’s a crutch for those who don’t know the material. Although I’ll have to admit that if I don’t know the material they make things much much easier.
On the whole, I’m against them in [...]
QotD: Card Games
Friday, March 26th, 2004Question: What are your favorite card games?
I like Bridge and 500. I’m a fan of games that require thought over fast action (ie: Rat Screw, Spoons, etc).
You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.
QotD: Haircut
Thursday, March 25th, 2004Question: How much do you pay for a haircut?
$15 tops. I usually hit up one of those bargain places (Great Clips, Fantastic Sam’s, etc) when they have a good coupon. My hair is pretty low-maintenance anyway… just use the shaver thing on the back/sides and a little cutting on top.
I’ve had my mother [...]
QotD: Email
Wednesday, March 24th, 2004Question: What email client do you use?
I use Mail.app that comes with Mac OS X. It works decently enough, handles the two thousand plus emails I have stored. The junk mail handling doesn’t work all to well, but I don’t get much junk mail so it’s not really a problem.
You are encouraged to [...]
Sweet Sixteen
Wednesday, March 24th, 2004I’m headed to Norfolk, VA this weekend to see the Gopher Girls Basketball win the next two games.
Ooh, it’ll be fun!
Although at the moment it looks like I might have to take one of my midterms at 7am on Friday. Here’s to hoping that instead the departure time is later and I can take [...]
