Saddam Hussein was captured this morning around 7:00 or so (EST). There is a great deal of information on the internet already. Read this CNN article.

“About 600 4th Infantry Division soldiers and Special Operations forces conducted the raid in Adwar, near a compound of ramshackle buildings, about 9 miles outside Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit, on Saturday night.

The raid was based on intelligence that Saddam was at a particular location in the area, the officials said. Forces arrived at the location within three hours of receiving a tip from an Iraqi, and Saddam had no time to move.

The U.S. forces moved easily into the area where there were no security forces to protect the ousted leader.

Saddam, thin, dirty and hiding in the cellar of mud hut, willingly identified himself to interpreters. He was wearing a white T-shirt, dark trousers and a long-sleeved dark shirt.

U.S. forces found weapons and about $750,000 in U.S. $100 bills with the former dictator, Sanchez said, along with two AK-47s, a pistol and a white and orange taxi”

PS2 Controller

Thursday, December 11th, 2003

Just got my extra controller for the PS2 yesterday and I hooked it up as soon as I came home. Then I whooped my brother’s ass in a quick best of 3 matchup. We played MotoGP … a motorcycle racing game. I’m not a big fan of the game but unfortunately, that’s the only multiplayer game I own.

I now proclaim myself as the new Video Game King (having defeated the previous title owner that is)

Late night

Monday, December 8th, 2003

I would love school but …

* there is too much work to be done
* there are lecturers that don’t make sense
* there are TAs who know nothing of the common world
* there are books that should be bricks
* there are theories that don’t make sense
* there are parking lots where I can’t park
* there exists a concept of 8 AM
* there are classes that are way too far
* there are nights when I don’t sleep

AND today is one of those nights when most of these seem so true.

Study or Party?

Saturday, December 6th, 2003

Big dilemma. Big exam on Monday. Don’t know anything about it. Have to work all day tomorrow. And, you’re doing absolutely nothing right now. Should you

a) Study
b) Go find a party
c) Think about studying while the TV is on and feel guilty

Can’t decide. Why don’t one of you guys tell me what you think. Until then, I’ll sit right here, staring at my website … waiting for a comment.

Age of Empires 2 and women

Saturday, December 6th, 2003

For those who know what this game means, a little heads up. I played a game with Ami over the internet and to tell you honestly, she ahem well ahem ahem, kinda came out victorious due to some misalignment of the stars. My point being … I’m never going to underestimate the skills of women at certain things like things that involve power. I don’t think I’ve heard the end of it from her yet.
