What SciFi/Fantasy character am I?

Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)
Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?
Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?
An honest and chivalrous adventurer that pursues just causes, you would sacrifice much to help others.
I am a Ranger. We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no-one may pass. We live for the One, we die for the One.

MCAT scores

MCAT scores were posted yesterday at the AAMC website. Last night my wife and I logged on to check her score for the August exam. After some breath holding waiting for the pages to load over our puny dialup connection we finally got the scores. She did much better this time around and improved her score by 6 points over her previous test! A big achievement. So now much stress is relieved and life can get back to being mostly normal.

Star Trek Apartment

Well, this is certainly interesting. My friend Rick sent me a couple of links to some guy who’s remodeled his apartment to look like Star Trek: TNG quarters. Complete with panels, transporter pad and brig. It actually looks surprisingly good, although the kitchen looks a little too dimly lit and too blue to be very functional. It does look cool though.
It is also up for sale at EBay. Now if only I could come up with $2M and get my wife to move to England…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
That turkey yesterday was soooo good…
On the other hand, seems that our desire for big plump turkeys means we need to help them out a little to keep making big turkeys.

Urban Dictionary

While writing my last blog entry, I stumbled onto an interesting website. Urban Dictionary seems to be a rather unconventional dictionary website. According to the website,

The Urban Dictionary is a slang dictionary with words contributed by users.

Most of the content I’ve seen in it so far is slang that you probably might not find in other online dictionaries like Merriam-Webster, or those stupid words that people make up by adding suffixes to the end. You can add words to the dictionary (along with your definition), or you can add definitions to other words. Some of them make for pretty funny reading. Definitely not a site for young kids to surf to though.
