mandolin...after no updates since August 2, the online game Steppenwolf will actually start up its sixth and final chapter on Friday. I stopped checking a month ago; I only found this out by accident.
Okay, we've got the following signs of the apocalypse now:
1) I get picked as a Nielsen family starting the end of this week,
2) My college is abruptly going co-ed next year (I don't care how desperate they are, this is going to come back and bite the Board of Trustees if they don't reconsider and try a better transition plan),
3) And now Chapter 6 of SW is actually coming out.
I'd also like to take the time to say something spawned from recent personal experience.
To people who tailgate on exit ramps: STOP. There's no point. The REASON the limit on the curvy exit ramp is 25 mph is so that people don't skid, bounce off the guardrail and go into a tailspin. The person in front of you is going the speed limit because they don't want to go through that. So deal, it's not like they're slowing you down on a long stretch of highway.
To people who let such folks get to them: DON'T. I don't care how close said person is following you. It's not worth it to speed up a notch and risk going into a skid because the guy behind you's in a hurry.
And so concludes my pointless rambling for the week.
