This professor likes me and I think maybe he just wanted to make sure the fiction writers weren't slacking off. Still wish I had learned more about poetry, though... Eric, I always check <a>GameSpot</a> be my guide for games. I've heard that Assassin's Creed is good too, but I need to pace myself! Too many great games in a short period of time may sink me. I may try to score the original Halo and Halo 2 first---you can get those for $20 each whereas Halo 3 is $60. I think it's crappy that Xbox Live costs another $5/mo just to play online. I may not spring for it right away as I've always gotten my ass kicked on online play, but I'm sure I will eventually. Let me know when you get set up though! Thanks for the congrats, guys!

I didn’t think at first I would like it since it seemed like a sexier version of Gauntlet. Then I figured out how to use the characters special superpowers, how to switch between characters, and otherwise read the instructions. For a guy who read a lot of Marvel comics growing up, this game borders on pornography. Once I buy a couple more games—like FIFA 08, Halo 3, and The Orange Box—I expect to flush school, reading, and writing down the toilet.</i> I'm going to buy an Xbox 360 soon because it rocks! Get Halo and get Xbox live. Then we can kill each other online just like usual! Other games worth checking out are Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed, or so I hear.

Of course audio books count. Or put it this way: better audio books that Cliff Notes or Wikipedia. Dr. Phil Given your grade, Trent, are you now “A” poet?

Of course audio books count. Or put it this way: better audio books that Cliff Notes or Wikipedia.

I definitely count audio books as "books read." There's really no reason not to. Some can claim, "Well, you can zone out during an audio book." Like you can't with a print book??? Anyway, I count 'em. You should too. I plan to read more "literature" (whatever that means), mainly exploring several authors I've yet to read. And more poetry also. Yeah, I know what you mean - I got my first iPod for Christmas - one of the Nano 3rd Generation ones with video. Man, I'm screwed... Congrats on the A!
