My favorite class is about how to use Photoshop. Here's a bumper sticker I made shortly prior to enrolling:

This is really exciting. :D

The only real writing I've done, aside from some interesting papers, is a review of "Inkheart" on Amazon, although I'm planning to author a mission for Star Trek Online as soon as the toolset moves out of beta (or if I get impatient). I've mostly been playing Team Fortress 2 and Mass Effect 2, although Poker Night is pretty darn cool. (I won the Heavy's minigun away from him at poker. Heheheheheh.) Very much looking forward to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood; I'd like to buy it for PC so I can participate in multiplayer, but I'm not sure if I can wait that long.

I'm looking forward to Christmas vacation with my folks! They've recently moved from Georgia to Texas; I'm planning to drive down there as soon as the semester is over, with Strafe yowlingly in tow. Should be pretty awesome.
