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 is YES. The fewer idiots with guns the better.

Question: 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 my three trips to Mystic Lakes. Not too bad when you consider the hours of entertainment.

Question: 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 a shame. Bush was just trying to finish the job his father couldn’t do right a decade before.

For 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 band seems pretty dorky (maybe I shouldn’t talk). We got into town on Friday night. Saturday we played at a pepfest thing at a local mall here. It was a competition between the respective bands/cheer squads. We (of course) took first place and won a free movie ticket.
Saturday we tried to go visit Virginia Beach (25 miles away maybe), but the bus service took forever. After about an hour of being on the bus, we had made it half way. So we had to turn around and come home in order to get back for a pep rally or something.
That night, we hung out with the Louisiana Tech band. They were staying at the Marriot Courtyard, which was infinitely nicer than the Radison we were staying at.
Today, we’ve got the day off so I slept in and am now at the library. Some people rented are car and are driving to Washington, D.C.—a 3.5 hour drive!
Ok, I’m sorry this post is grammatically poor and littered with incorrect spellings, but I haven’t the time to proofread it as I have 2 more minutes with the computer.
Hope everything is great back home in the Twin Cities. See y’all on Wednesday.
Question: 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 I was running a homemade computer that I put together in 1998 or 1999. It had a 400MHz processor and 384MB of ram.
My monitor is a Dell 1900FP that I bought last summer. It’s a 19” LCD and is very high quality for something made by Dell.

Question: 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 classes I enjoy and for them in classes I hate. Although if I had to choose between all open book and all closed book tests, I’d choose all closed book.

Question: 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).

Question: 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 cut my hair, but that’s not really worth the effort it takes to have her to a good enough job.

Question: 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.

I’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 it at noon like everybody else in my class.
