Here's the scoop on Friday's BSG...

(p.s. This is a possible spoiler for you, whisperwords, so no peeking until you see, hehe)

( BSG 4x03 - The Ties That Bind )

Oh and yeah, if you want to keep with me more, I have been caught by the twitter bug.

p.s. Swing dancing tonight--heck yeah!

It seems I'm coming back to LJ...how weird is that?

As for my weekly BSG ranting... (p.s. Don't read this, whisperwords if you haven't seen it yet--massive spoilers.

( Six of One )

In other LJ news, I've been doing some catching up...

• Glad to hear student teaching is going well, thatgirlcaitlin
  
• Congrats on passing comps, carrole
  
• Glad to hear you got abroad safely, whisperwords

Battlestar Galactica
First of all, I have to say, I am so excited that BSG is back. It has been so/way too long that it's been gone. It was kinda sweet that they kind of reran the last few eps before kinda as a recap.

Here is my reaction tonight's ep "He That Believeth..."

( He That Believeth...(plus a poll) )

The rest of SciFi Friday
Another thing I'm excited about is the return of Doctor Who (the completely new season). That means 2 days of Doctor Who... Friday on SciFi and Saturday on BBC America's "Supernatural Saturday".

I also see there's something new out of Doctor Who coming out called "The Sarah Jane Chronicles". Although, I'm sure to fully get it, you'd have to remember Sarah Jane from the Tom Baker (my favorite Doctor) years. But yeah, that looks pretty good. Kind of another Doctor Who creation like 'Torchwood'.

That's all I have to say for tonight. Can you tell I'm excited?

I bet you are thinking 'whoah, he has not posted in a long time', you are correct! I just wanted to give you an update of things that are going on in my life.

During the summer, I got a job offer at a company in Lexington called iEntry</a>, and have started working there since later part of August (I can't remember a date, hehe). I am an IT assistant there, and my job functions of many hats are:

• Answer support e-mails about the various websites we host, and unsubscribe people from the same database.


• Upload and import site files (mainly phpLD) to the server, and change over the db using mySQL.


• Create e-mail statistic lists


• Write Flash tutorials for FlashNewz (one of our sites that we maintain)

So yeah, I'm loving my job! I don't get to do those tasks all in one day though, especially the Flash tutorial one. I'm only working on my 2nd one which is a pretty intensive ActionScript one, hehe.

Sarah and I are over the 3 year mark. We crossed over that line on August 30th. I know most of you are going to post "When are ya'll getting married?", there are no plans of marriage, we just love being with one another, and I love her.

Oh and yeah, I finally got Ubuntu working with my wireless net @ home, and have not touched my Windows partition at all this weekend, HAHA!

First of all, I'd like to congratulate sewcute on her now
crossing over to the married world. Hope you're having fun in sin city!

A lot has been going on this week. I applied last week for the full-time
position of Web Technology Specialist (a perfect job fit for me,
eh?) in the Justice and Safety Center here at EKU, and had a job intervie
with them last Friday, but still have not heard anything back from them.
called the person who I interviewed with this morning, and she said HR is
still waiting to get information back on "a" candidate, and hoping to kno
something soon. I know I'm an optimist, but I just don't think I got this
position, because she said she had a lot of candidates applying for it
*ugh*.

I'm heading up to NKY with Sarah this weekend, and haven't been there in
while--I'm excited about that.

( Lost 3x22 - Through the Looking Glass )

So I felt like doing another post.

Another looking forward to tonight's Lost ep tonight? I am.

Anyhoo, did anyone really? boycott gas yesterday? I've seen all these things on facebook and myspace about it, but I don't really think it caught on as much as people anticipated.

I was just watching the news on CNN HLN, and I saw there is now a "Citizen Journalism" show coming called News To Me, which will be comprised of viewer-made videos. I'm just wondering... how many of these people are going to steal videos off youtube and submit them on there? hehe.

Anyhoo, not that much else from me for now.

~CSS

So yeah, I'm guessing this post will surprise most of you, since I haven't posted much of late. I thought I would update you on what has been going on in my life...

• Since graduation in December, I've been doing 2 undergrad classes still at EKU that I didn't get to do while I was doing undergrad:
  
  
  
  1. CSC105 - Multimedia, where we got to play around with Pinnacle, Flash, and Director... quite fun.
  
  
  2. CIS240 - Web Applications, where I finally got to learn XML!
  
  
  
  I have still yet to find out my grades for them, but they still were fun classes.
  


• Sarah and I are still together (if ya'll were wondering), it's been about 2 and a half years since we've been together. She's still my sweety!


• I'm planning on taking the MAT sometime during this summer for me to get into grad school school here at Eastern in Technology Education. Although, I'm still prepping in getting ready for the MAT. I'm taking it, because it's more humanities based than the GRE--math really isn't my forte.

Not really that much else is happening in my life right now, I just thought I'd keep ya updated as to what is going on.

My take on...

( BSG 3x02: Taking A Break... )

SciFi is really emerging -- I'm getting into the new stuff they're coming out with such as Jake 2.0, and I'm excited to see the new Enterprise...hopefully soon the new season of Doctor Who *crosses fingers*

Anyhoo, enough with the tv-douchebagism for now.

School is going good with the two classes I'm taking--very relaxed (no pressure of graduation), but yeah, I'm enjoying it.

Swing dancing last night was teh bomb!

~CSS

Today has been a good day...my orders came in:

• Windows XP Media Center SP2 (with Vista coupon) came today via UPS from Newegg
  
• My new PC was delivered from DataStar computing in Berea

( Computer specs under here )

Tonight I was flipping through channels and forgot that my SciFi friday block isn't here anymore (temporarily). It's been like 2 weeks or so without Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, and am already starting to miss them. Although, Battlestar Galactica will be returning soon, and I'm pretty happy about that.

I can't believe there's only more week left in my break before I return for post-graduate classes, it's almost like "where did the break go?"

Anyhoo, not that much else happening in my life right now, cheerio!

~CSS

So yeah, it looks like I'm returning to lj... sweet. I'm getting back in the blog addiction *gasp*

Anyway, Christmas has been pretty good to me. I didn't get all that much, due to the fact that I've got a new computer on the way, but I was thankful for what I got: 2 organizational bins from ace, and a $25 gift card to Hastings, which was pretty sweet.

The SciFi Christmas marathon has been awesome.

*shrugs* Not that much else from me.

~CSS

A lot has been happening since my last post... I graduated last Saturday...



Although, I'm not really leaving eastern hehe. I plan to stick around another semester and take some post-graduate classes while I prep for the GRE. I plan to major in Technology Education in the Fall, but I'm not going to be a teacher...I'm just getting the master's degree for the sake of it being a master's degree, since I am in the technological field.

--

Now, for some tv-douchebagism (as usual)...

It seems I have missed the season finale of Battlestar Galactica, as I just recently remembered I was at a graduation celebration last Friday, so yeah, grr. Although, I think bsg_episodes will be good to me, hehe.

Did anyone see the season finale of Doctor Who tonight? If not, I'm not going to spoil anything, but I'm just gonna say...powerful! ...like whoah.

I'm looking forward to SciFi's Christmas weekend movies, hehe.

Oh... since Sarah and I will not be together at Christmas (I'll be in Richmond and she'll be up in NKY), we did Christmas last night. I got her: a full-length mirror to put in the hallway of her apartment (it's what she's been hinting me at), and a mix CD of all of our favorite Christmas tunes--she loved both of them. She got me 2 DVD's: Return of the Jedi, and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

Anyhoo, that's all for me for now.

~CSS

As you can tell, I have not posted in quite a while. I really have not had that much to post about, until today. Today was like "whoah". I'm sure you're surprised that this post isn't a tv-douchebagism one, eh? hehe.

My group and I finally finished our project in CSC178 (DarkBasic/Maya/Blender), and it was quite a relief. We finished it just in time (like 2 hours) before the showcase today in Wallace. Not that many people came though--it was just an open discussion of the latest World of Warcraft patch that's out, and how negative it was (I don't really play WoW, but I am intrigued by it). I'm pondering what thatgirlcaitlin thinks about this new patch, hehe.

Anyhoo, the big moment of the day was tonight at Wesley Foundation worship just after the closing praise and worship set. Ken (our campus minister) was saying something along the lines of "We have one more praise tonight, we have an award we give to outstanding graduating seniors who are good at servant leadership" (segwaying into a sermon about servant leadership which was about a month ago), and yes, if ya'll didn't know, I'm graduating on December 16th.

At this time, I'm looking around the sanctuary, trying to figure out who else is graduating in December apart from me, and I got confused. I hear Ken say "This award goes to Chad", and I was completely blown away--I did not expect this at all, and was really, really touched. When Ken said "Do you have anything to say?", I did not have anything at first, due to being so touched and surprised, by then the Lord said to me "Say what's in your heart, not your mind", and said when I wanted to say. At this point, I admit, I cried--I've never felt anything like that before--feeling so loved and cared for by a group of people that big. That moment was just so amazing, like whoah.

Anyhoo, time for me to start work on all of the crap I have to do for tomorrow...

• Presentation on PHP for ESCA
  
• Study for the hands-on-test (first part of our final) in EET403
  
• Work some more on my paper for TEC333

I bid you all a good night!

My take and theories...

( Lost 3x1 )

~CSS

Lost season 3 airs tonight... I'm excited.

Excuse my tv-douchebagism, but this week is an awesome week! New releases of my shows start this week... such as

• Wednesday: LOST


• Friday: Doctor Who


• Friday: Battlestar Galactica

Although, I doubt I'll be able to catch of them, because I'm in class until 8:45 on Wednesday and probably will miss the first half an hour of Lost, and on Friday, Sarah and I will be in NKY for Tall Stacks, and at her parent's house they don't have cable..just air stations, which I'm hoping doctorwho_eps will be good to me and have it up so I can watch it sometime. I'm glad SciFi is returning to air Battlestar Galactica on Sunday nights, because that's one of the big ones I don't want to miss...ugh.

School is so rushed right now, I can't wait for midterms to be over and for fall break to come, like whoah.

I miss my home church, I haven't been there in a while with all the stuff happening in NKY as of late, because I'll be gone this weekend for Tall Stacks, and the week after that (Homecoming, unfortunately) I'll be gone aswell with helping with Sarah's church in Covington's rededication service. So yeah, I won't be here for a few weeks, hehe. I'm hoping to be back for the Halloween Swing Dance on October 21st though, hehe.

Anyhoo, not much else, off to class!

~CSS

I know I haven't updated in a while... shame, shame on me... I know. I just haven't really had anything lj-worthy to write about *shrugs*

Sarah and I went up to NKY this weekend for the Anniversary Ball at Music Hall in Cinci, and we had a blast. We always go to the balls up there and love them. I think this year's was one of the best though--there was an abundance of college students their from ballroom classes of Ohio State, Miami (of Ohio), and Kent State. It was just an awesome night of ballroom dancing together and awesome music. During the door prizes, we (actually Sarah) won a free lesson at the Arthur Murray studio in Florence...woohoo! It was just an awesome night...like whoah.

Anyhoo, not much else to report on. Ugh... so many projects this week *sigh*

~CSS

I forgot my cellphone today... that gives the day a great start *sarcastic tone*. Although, a girl here in the computer lab is telling someone she forgot her wallet, so I guess today is a forgetful day.

I'm hating DarkBasic right now, debugging is getting the best of me.
