And then you fall... and that's embarassing.

At least it will be heartfelt, my roommate says. He's talking, of course, about Metroid Prime 2 for the Gamecube. There is this energy tank thingy on a balcony that he needs to get for the best ending, and he'd been trying to get at it for about fifteen minutes. Sometimes he would get real close, but he'd just fall back down and have to do it all over again. But when he got it, boy was it heartfelt.

What the crap am I talking about? I hope most of you didn't bother reading that and skipped immediately to here, because here's where it gets good.

I should find out this week where I'll be this summer, which could be a good or a bad thing. It will only be bad if I don't get a job at either of the two places I applied. In that case I'd be back in Hibbing. And Hibbing's never a place that you want to be "going to." "Coming from," but not "going to."

But I'm not totally anti-the Iron Range. I mean, our great Governor Pawlenty called us a "microcosm." Which is good for him, because if we're our own "little world," he doesn't have to do crap for us. And we now serve as the setting for a movie, based on a book my mom has read, starring Sissy Spacek...

What else could we want?

I think he's past that jumpy part now. Now he's shooting some stuff.
