Ugh. First I find out that John Rhys-Davies, who seemed so educated and eloquent in the TTT:EE commentary, is a racist bigot, and now it’s Orson Scott Card‘s, author of one of my favourite books, turn to lose my respect.

Dylan has already voiced perfectly my reaction to this statement, so I’ll point you to her response.

Absolutely unbelieveable.

Not cool.

After reviewing the incidents of the first two days of assassins, it has been decided that assassins will be suspended indefinitely. I apologize on behalf of those who took it too far to the point that it was no longer a game, but offensive behavior of that nature can not be allowed to continue. The entire game will be made void and no points will be awarded. Should assassins be attempted again later in the semester, it will be a fresh start and the participation and kills from the past few days will have no bearing on who may or may not participate. If you have any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer them. Thank you for your patience, and again I am sorry that it had to come to this.

A fun thing to do: While waiting the last few minutes for laundry to finish drying, sing in the delightfully echoey stairwells. It’s past 1AM, no one is on the stairs to hear me. “Steward of Gondor” goes over particularly well.

And for new Lincolnite Ajes’ sake, I shall recount the story of my first kill. His name was Julian Diaz, and he was not in the facebook, the cheapskate. Fortunately, Giselle and Chris, who work in the Comissary (the mini-store for snacks and basic necessities), recognized his name and knew that he worked in the Comissary as well! So Giselle looked up his work schedule, and lo and behold, he was working that evening! What luck! So later that night, I trooped down with Giselle, Tricia, and Carmen and waited for the shift change, which should have already taken place, but Julian was late. I let him settle in a bit, then waited for him to get busy attending to a customer, then pegged him with a sock when no one was looking. And my first target was justly executed! Go me!

And now, a bit of light reading for Communications, and sleep!

And this is what happens when I don’t keep up with the papers.

Let’s hope he stays away from West Philly. Heck, let’s hope he’s caught. I’m definitely going to bring a friend with me if I ever have to walk around after dark.

In other news:

Question: What’s yellow and dangerous?

Answer: Shark-infested custard.

Meanwhile, Assassins has been suspended until the Powers that Be sort stuff out, because apparently some people were being a little too exciteable about the game. Not sure of the details. But it’s nice to be able to walk around normally without carrying socks and jumping around corners in case of ambush.

Oh! And I’m now feeling better about the Evil Java Midterm of Doom. Apparently, not a single person got an A, and this is a class with some pretty hardcore geeks. And of course, the professor refuses our pleas to consider curving the grades. Niiiiiice.

All Hail Elijah, King of Dorks!

All Hail Dom, Wearer of What Looks Like Gryffindor Quidditch Drag!

Happy Mardi Gras, boys and girls.

(For those out of the loop, Dom and Elijah were kings of the Orpheus and Bacchus crewes in Sunday’s parades. So delightfully dorky. They should win prizes.)
