No, this doesn’t mean that I quit Halo 2 — I just now play two games and realize even more that I have a very understanding fiancee.  :)   If you are a WoW addict and are on the Lothar server, my character is Jiralhanae (from Halo 2, which in Korean means something like “stupid aggressive lunatic”).

When I was in college, I attended just about every NMSU home game. But, since I’m not from the area, I really didn’t care much about the game — just thought it’d be a great excuse to go hang out with the guys. It really turned out to be a great game! Initially, I thought it was going to be boring, since I had never heard of the University of Akron…but they have a great team! So great in fact, that they won 20-17 with the game winning touchdown scored in the last 3 seconds of the 4th quarter. NC State gained the lead in the 4th making it 17-14 with 1:07 left on the clock. The Akron team was able to make it all the way down the field and score a touchdown before the time ran out.
