Coding break

So, i'm taking a coding break. Marc and I are trying to get our comp sci project done before spring break so we wont have to worry about it. So I've been coding off and on since I got home from school today. I just need to figure out a good way to output a tree so you can see it in a treeish way and then I'm finished with my part. Programming assignments are one of those rare homework assignments that as well as everything goes pretty good it gives you more energy. Like, if I continually solve little problems one by one it makes me excited, like i am accomplishing something. However, if you get stuck then it's a drag if someone to help you isn't online. But, this is very different from Engineering or Math homework that just seems to go on and on forever, and so what you solve a problem, you just have to go on to the next.

Anyway, I had something I was going to talk about. I forget what it was now. Dangit, oh well, i'll talk about something else.

Yesteryday Cassie and I found a roach in our laundry closet. We looked at it, and screamed for a while. It was up in the top corner climbing on a bottle of some laundry stuff. Cassie being the resourceful one she is, grabbed a bottle of WD-40 and proceeded to poison our yucky intruder with it. Then when it wasnt moving so much anymore she threw the bottle out the door and it went away. I cheered her on from the sidelines.

OH yeah, I was going to talk about Firefly.

So, many of you probably heard the rantings from Greg about how good Firefly is. And then you may have heard also from Brandon and Jacob how good it is. It is really really good. I have watched 12 episodes of it. The problem is only 14 episodes were made, which means I am almost done. Jacob gave me the DVD with it on it on Saturday, so i have spend a great deal of time watching it the last few days.

But now I am worried. What if i watch the next 2 episodes and they kill off the entire cast. That would just be devistating. Or what if the last episode is just crappy and i'm disappointed. I can not decide if i want to spend the rest of my life knowing there is no more firefly out there, I might just be better off stopping now. Firefly is not like Scrubs, my other favorite show, where they make a new episode every week almost so I will never be disappointed with the searies finale. Sure, eventually Scrubs will stop, but hopefully that happens way after I have lost interest. Firefly ends for me in 2 episodes and I think maybe I should just wait a little while before i watch the end. Maybe i'll go back to the beginning and start over and then when I get to the end of episode 12 agin I'll be brave enough to watch the last 2.

I need to be finished by September when the movie comes out though. So, maybe I'll save the last 2 for right before the movie so I'll be really excited. That sounds like a good idea, what do you think?

Firefly was cancelled in the middle of the season, so there is no season finale. And I think the last couple of episodes were the best, so you should go ahead and watch them. There is no conclusion, ie nothing really happens to the crew, it's just another awesome episode.

Surely you did something interesting over spring break that you can blog about.
