Miscellaneous Update

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I'm trying to coincide my 200th post with my first anniversary of this blog. So, that means I'm trying to really space out my blogs.

Started my new job this week. It's going really well and is a really relaxed work environment. I have to hire 22 students in the next two weeks, so once they're all hired and I start supervising them, things should pick up and get a bit crazier. Thanxs to everyone who helped out during the long job search and gave me good wishes along the way and once I got a job!

I got my hair cut. I told myself it would be the first thing I would do once I got a job and so I got it done the day before I started. It's quite short, but not crazy short. I like it. I should save money on shampoo, as I have probably a third of the hair I used to.

It's quite obvious that school has started. Not only has the amount of people online on MSN almost doubled, Dave commented on my blog!! I don't know why, but when students get busy with school, they spend more time on MSN. And when they're home for the summer and away from their friends, they're never on MSN. It's messed up. Good luck to all the students this year. Especially John Murney who's taking an insane FOUR economics classes. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes!!!

It seems the Who's the Most Jedi?? competition is lagging in interest. So, I am officially closing down the contest. Here are the official results:

Nitro - Queen of all things Jedi!!!!
Binns - Prince
Pilot - Bishop who guides the royalty but is sometimes wrong
Mike - 3rd Cousin twice removed to the queen and prince - knows what he's talking about, but gets into things late because he's just some distant relative
Pilon - Royal Shoeshiner - he knows his stuff about Jedi from shining the shoes of the Queen and Prince, but doesn't know the exact intricacies because of his lesser station (it's LESS THAN 12)
Ian - Royal Jester - always ready to participate and give it a shot, but doesn't actually know the details of Jedi
Shock - Treasonous subject - Knew his stuff about Jedi but used it against the Royalty and was hung for treason, which is why he stopped answering the questions
Fudge - Local Merchant of the Queendom - tried answering a few questions, but realized that as a lowly merchant, he just couldn't compete with the royalty
Danny - Travelling Bard - was in town telling a story and knew the answer, so participated in one question. But then he had to continue travelling and telling his stories, so couldn't continue to compete
Sperran - Slave - escaped from his master. His master found him but told him that if he could answer one question in the Jedi contest, then he could go free. Let's just say he's back in slavery and got whipped.

So, congratulations to Nitro!! Binns would have been crowned king, but he missed answering the last question. Oh well. Too bad for him!

Anyway, my posts are going to be a bit spread out in the next little while. Very spread out actually because I am very close to 200, but still a few weeks away from 1 year. In the meantime, I'll be doing a bit of maintenance on my blog. I need to update my sidebar very much. I'll be updating my list of blogs I read to reflect what I actually read and I also want to add a links section for my favourite webpages on the world wide web. So, look for that in the next few weeks. And I suppose I'll plan some huge blog entry for my 200th post. Probably won't be as great as I want, but I'll give it a shot.

That's about it!
