So yeah, I just beat Metroid Prime 3 with 100% completion. \o/ And oh my crap, that ending was awesome.
Also ... I am really tired and have nothing really to blog about. Oh yeah, our school won tonight for the first time this season!
We were 0-5 ... and beat a team that was 0-5. Best match-up ever.

tv
TV. This is really getting boring.
Last night's thoughts:
Deal or No Deal
Yeah ... I didn't watch that. Was out eating.Private Practice
Just awesome. Carried out the great Grey's Anatomy tradition of being awesome.Dirty Sexy Money
Yeah ....... I didn't watch that either. Oops. Tonight's viewing schedule:
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader - Fox
Same old crap. But pretty cool. I would like to watch Smallville but I would be lost. Only watched a few episodes last season. 
Grey's Anatomy - ABC
As I said last night, Grey's is awesome. I lurv it. I'm a bit put off by the firing of Isaiah Washington, but meh. ER - NBC
I have always loved this show. It's so awesome, and Forrest Whitaker's guest storyline last season left me wanting more.--Joel

SYATP, tv, contests, CYC
...
I am a student leader of CYC/YCI. Last year, I was the president. This year, I'm just a leader (new school). Today we had our annual See You at the Pole. If you don't know what that is, go
here, or just let me tell you that it's a kicky event where students gather at the flagpole of a PUBLIC school and pray. How awesome is that? Anyway, today was SYATP. It was awesome. Seriously, it was the best SYATP I've ever been too. Not to say that the ones at the middle school weren't great, they were, but this was better.
On to contests. I enter them all the time; rarely win any of them. Last night, ABC called and said our family won an iPhone and $450 bucks. Seriously. I'm wondering whether or not to accept it because the taxes on it are crappy. Plus, I think you have to activate it to use the media player functions? I really don't want to activate it .... just use it as in iPod. I'll probably end up modding it.
I have a cold. It's 90 degrees outside and I have a cold.... I feel like crap.
TV. Last night's thoughts:
Beauty and the Geek - CW:
Eh. Same old, same old. Nothing great, nothing badHouse - Fox:
I didn't realize Boston Legal and House overlapped, so I watched that instead. I did record House though. Now the challenge is finding time to watch it.Boston Legal - ABC
This show is ace. Perfection in every way.Tonight's shows:
Deal or No Deal - NBC
It's ... just a game show. HUGE meh because it's not really anything special, but it's the only thing on nearly worth watching.Private Practice - ABC
I love Grey's Anatomy. It's awesome. So this will be awesome too. FACT.Dirty Sexy Money - ABC
This show does not look like it will interest me at all. But I keep hearing it's great, so I might as well give it a shot.--Joel

games, birfday, terrorist, tv
...
Today is my mom's birfday. \o/ Very exciting.
A little known game called Halo 3 released today. Now, this bugs me. The game is total crap (woo I said it), but it still gets tons more mainstream media coverage that Nintendo's top-notch games. Why is this? The marketing team at Microsoft is much smarter than Nintendo's marketing team. If Nintendo would step up and partner with McDonald's, Coke, and other huge names they might get some publicity. I think that at least one game is getting enough publicity: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Bad choice. Mario Galaxy is, in my opinion, a MUCH better game. Ever Metroid was a better game. Granted, I haven't played Galaxy or Brawl yet; but if the past in the series are any indication, Galaxy has the upper-hand.
And finally, TV. Here's some thoughts on last night's shows:
Chuck - NBC Perfect in every way. I'm calling it the best new show of the season. The sad thing is that I got all of the "nerdy" references...
Two and a Half Men - CBS Hilarious. Charlie Sheen's acting is top-notch, and I'm looking forward to the new episodes. Just the right amount of humor.
Journeyman - NBC This one gets a major meh. About fifteen minutes in, I turned to watch the CSI: Miami premiere (which rocked BTW). Maybe I'm missing out on a gem, but this one did not keep me hooked.
Tonight I'll be watching:
Beauty and the Geek - CW Meh, nothing else is on and this is a pretty entertaining show
House - FOX House is awesome. It's the perfect mix of comedy and drama.
Boston Legal - ABC This is one of my favorite shows ever. EVER. And do I even need to elaborate? This show has The Shat, so it's got to be awesome.

tv, school, life
So we had open house at school tonight. Here's something interesting about me: I have never made below an A. Ever. That still holds true after today's progress reports. It was rather pointless, we just went around and got progress reports. Lowest grade was in Honors English (95.1). Meh.
On a side note, today marks the beginning of the fall television season. Here's what I'll be watching tonight:
Chuck - NBC A show about a computer nerd. Perfect.
Two and a Half Men - CBS A hilarious show; the premiere looks awesome.
Journeyman - NBC Eh. It looks okay; not fantastic. But I'll be watching.
All of which will be controlled with a Wiimote on Windows Media Center thanks to my recent purchase of a blueooth receiver.

president, thompson, fred, 2008
...
It's no secret (well, looking back at my blog, maybe it is) that my choice for President in 2008 (if I could vote) is former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson. I just had to share this gem with you; grab some popcorn and enjoy.
