For a little laugh, and cause I always like those, I took the flavour test suggested on Lynda's website. If you're curious about that I encourage you to take the link to Justin's site, then the link to Lynda's site, then the link to the test. Enjoy.
Anywho, the test results:
Buzz buzz, I am Coffee flavoured.
I am popular in the workplace, even though I am often bitter. I am energetic to the point of being frenetic; buzz buzz, out of my way. I tend to overwork myself and need periods of recovery time.
(If I was not Coffee, I would be Chocolate.)
I am Chocolate Flavoured.
I am sweet and a little bit naughty. I am one of the few clinically proven aphrodisiacs. Sometimes I can seem a little hard, but show warmth and I soon melt.
Apparently, I'm one of those cafe coffees, you know a chocolate coffee :)

Are those Klingons, or just fuzzy bunnies?
So, I'm proud to say that I'm the proud recipient of an actual A on a test in my Religions class. Trust me, that's something to be proud of. I wish I had some internet avenue to gloat about it.
The wedding plans are, well, going. Kim complained the other night, perhaps rightly so, that I didn't mention her in the blog. So look, I just did :) We have a church, and a pastor (I think, I have to talk to him again), and a reception site, and maybe even some hotels for our out of town guests. I know most of the people reading this won't stay at a hotel, but if you care... um... good.
Still, this semester just seems to keep rolling forward with no possible braking motion in sight. I'm realizing that its getting closer to time to move to the Iowa City area, and there's quite a bit of stuff to get done. We're planning on living in Coralville at the moment, and I really don't foresee that changing. I know some of you might be bummed that we're not living in Solon. Still, the place we're looking at is a pretty primo location (and the price is right).
That's about it from the land of Mark for now. I'm sure as things get crazier I'll forget to update this regularly. You may now laugh at the concept of me updating this regularly.

The Captain is on the Bridge
So, I promised more after mid-terms. Well, all my tests are done, so I suppose I can make time for my loyal readers (all four of you). So, I did the math, both literally and figuratively. For once in my life, I'm getting an A in my math class. Wonder how I'm going to screw that one up :) Unfortunately, my other classes aren't going so hot. I expect a C in religions, unless (please pardon the pun) some miracle happens and my teacher lets me slide with a B. Darn one test that I didn't really study for (fist pumping in air)!!!
Much like my esteemed colleague Justin, I'm trying to iron out some details of my own campaign world. The plan is a horrible mish-mosh of things running around my head and ideas that I'm going to flagrantly rip off from Lord of the Rings. We'll see how that goes. I'm still bouncing around the idea of an oriental campaign. My religions class has only served to increase my desire to do that. Right now the thought in the back of my head is to actually create two totally separate worlds: one 'traditional' medieval fantasy, and one oriental. If there is an interest will help me decide which one will end up being more fleshed out. Knowing me, I'll probably end up stealing ideas from myself. I debated using Rokugan (the setting from the Oriental Adventures book), but it just doesn't grab me, shake me, and say YOU MUST PLAY THIS like the Forgotten Realms does.
Of course, if I had more time, I'd work on these things. Right now I sneak ideas into the back of my notebook during class.... think that affects my religion grade? Nah. Although, having to sit there for an hour does force me to put my ideas on paper, something that I admit I wasn't the best at. I'll bet once I move to Iowa City, particularly over the summer before the wedding, I'll have time to make a good world, a clean world, a good clean world.
So, looking forward to the Rice/Goose invasion. Probably means I should stock up on food.

Um. Yeah. I've been a bit lax in my blogging lately, and I apologize to the four, maybe five, of you who actually check this for something witty from me. Sorry to say this won't be much better. For once in my lackluster college career I actually am getting somewhat bogged down with mid-terms. Oh well, maybe if I survive I'll post something good next week.
