Someone hates Iowa. We’ve had a record tornado season already, followed by record flooding. Down town Waterloo and Cedar Falls are WRECKED. Cedar Rapids is going through it now – things are just not good in that department. You can check out some pictures here.

My preorder of Metal Gear Solid 4 royally screwed me over. It should have been here Friday, but I think between flooded roads and the detour on I-380 I’ll be lucky if it gets here Monday. So much for over-night shipping.

My weekend was going to consist of dominating the game by today, writing a review tonight, doing something socially entertaining later tonight, and rechecking my homework tomorrow. So much for that. At least the homework part is getting done.

One highlight to this weekend? Ace Enders (of former The Early November fame) released a free album online via Fuse. Checking it out now, half way in – and I like it. You can get the album (streamed or song by song) here.
