The costumes were amazing, the characters were good. I was only disappointed with the Moufasa character, he played the part weird, but otherwise all the other characters were solid. The music was great, and yeah very very good overall. Last weekend headed up to Iowa City with Scotty and visited the newly engaged man Jacob and hung out for the weekend. That was a really good time, it was almost like taking a time warp back to high school, everything just kind of picked up from where it had left off, his mom cooked for us, and yeah good times. Much guitar heroing and Settlers of Cattaan. Played one very interesting game of settlers at about 2:00 in the morning, which I am proud to say I won by harvesting a ton of sheep. This past weekend I went down to Kansas City for Apple training (I am the Apple Campus Rep for UNO) and that was a blast. Getting to hang with 30 some people all sporting MacBooks and talking Apple is always a good time. I also finished 3rd in the first annual (I think) iLife demo challenge and won a Mighty Mouse, which is something I have always wanted to get but couldn't afford, so that was very nice. The challenge was a role playing event in which you performed a demonstration in front of everyone with some1 playing as the customer and you had 3 minutes to do a demo of a program or two to that person. The scenario was different for each person, I got an incoming freshman during an orientation and since I've done about 36 orientations it was a breeze. But yeah that was cool, really am starting to think hard about where I want to work, and realizing that if Apple has any openings I am going to go for it. Love working for apple, lots of love for it. Other notable events from the training was that the head of marketing told me that he really enjoyed my dry humour and told me to do a podcast in that sort of humor and upon telling the Iowa State rep about it, he told me he had been told the same thing from the guy at our last training. So long story short we decided to come together and create this podcast which at this point is titled "The Best Ever Podcast in the World. Ever." and our first episode will be entitled "Macintosh Vista?" and yeah I may post a link to it once we record it. So that was a really fun weekend, as far as life in general I am coming more and more to the conclusion that I am a huge nerd/geek, and I am really embracing it now, and looking to further my nerd/geek status through various inane technological, movie, video game knowledge. So if you would like to impart any knowledge that would be useful in attaining more geek/nerd status please let me know. Or on the other side of that coin if you are wondering about your own nerdiness/geekiness then drop me a line and we can discuss and if you can understand what I am talking about then we will know just how far along you are. Well that's all for now, stay inside, stay warm, and rawk on.
