Quote of the Day: “You were killing out of your love for God.” — Inese Radzins, my Christian Tradition professor, explaining the rationale behind the crusades
I’m surprised it’s been a week since my last post. I should probably close the book on that last post. The good news is that I’m not pissed off anymore. The bad news is the bug I was coming down with turned into a real mother of a cold. I ended up losing my voice for a few days. At this point I’m feeling much better, with just a little runny nose and a hacky cough left. I still haven’t gotten that Spanish test back, but as for the Religion & Science midterm: 83%. That’s about what I thought I’d get. I ended up getting one of the ones right that I thought I missed, but unfortunately I was right about the rest (right about them being wrong, if that makes any sense).
On Monday morning my good buddy Jason went in for surgery for testicular cancer. From what I’ve been told it was a success, but I’ve yet to talk to him myself since the operation. He’s in Orlando with his mom right now but should be back in Tallahasse soon. If you could all be praying for him I know he’d appreciate it.
This week scares me. Last week was really busy, next week will be really busy, but this week there’s not much to do at all. It makes me feel like I should be doing something. Next week I’ve got a paper and a midterm in Christian Tradition and two tests in Spanish (a written and an oral). So far I haven’t really done much to get ahead, a little in Spanish maybe but that’s all. It’s starting to freak me out.
And I have good reason. If it were up to the Navigators I wouldn’t get anything done this weekend. There’s an all-weekend deal called the Play and Pray (or possibly Pray and Play, I’m not sure) for which Navs from all over the state are coming to FSU. We’re going to be praying over the campus, doing some witnessing on campus, playing ultimate frisbee, etc. Now while this is all well and good it means that I probably wouldn’t get too much done. Actually, I’m not sure if it is all well and good. I can’t say that I’m bugging out with excitment over this event. I’m not close to any of these people coming in, and I don’t like the idea of friendship by association (the idea that because I’m a Nav I have an obligation to spend my weekend hanging out with people I don’t know who are also Navs). The plans are good ones but they’re
things I’m able to do even if they’re not here. So in that sense I’m not missing something. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just a stick in the mud.
I started to play Knight of the Old Republic II for Xbox the other day. I had two free Blockbuster rentals that were going to expire on Monday so I used one to get this. So far the plot isn’t as good as the first one, but the gameplay is probably better. And there have been fewer glitches. I know I’m a dork, I’m okay with that.
I’ve got to close things by saying a little something about 24. If you haven’t been watching lately this could consititute as a spoiler so avert your eyes. I wasn’t shocked to see Navi Araz die but it was surprised that his son had the guts to be the one to kill him. I’m going to miss his character. I have to say I applauded the death of Marianne with gusto. I couldn’t stand her. She was just like Sherri Palmer and I hated her too. But here’s my big prediction. From the preview for next week we see that Jack begins to interrogate - and torture - Paul Raines. Audrey is going to watch that and even though she and Paul have been separated and she’s been seeing Jack she’ll end up not liking him by the end of the season because of what he does to Paul. There it is, I’m on record.

Does this mean that one out of every three of my thoughts is a “girly thought”? Yikes!
