Calling all receivers...

So it's been a colorful week so far, and probably time for a full update...I grabbed my Security+ certification, and while it's not a major one, I feel now as though I can actually claim to know something about IT security besides by experiences. I guess that's what certifications are for, eh?

Went to 9:30 club on Thursday to see And One and VNV Nation. VNV Nation is a synthpop group, and they put on a great show, but their albums don't sound as strong as their live performances, in my opinion. Still worth checking out however. And One has a harder sound to them, but synthpop all the same, and was the surprise hit of the night as I didn't know much about them. Listened to them alot this morning...=)

The other new find was a group called Covenant, which is synth as well, but they sound more remeniscant of Kraftwerk and....and.....can't put my finger on it. It just sounds really good.

Friday night I skipped hockey and chased a squirrel around my apartment who managed to wedge himself between a cabinet and an air duct. I have no idea how he got in, probably through the duct itself. I pried apart some paneling and managed to get him out, but he scampered off and I proceeded to chase him around the apartment until I manged to corner him, scoop him into a soda box, and release him outside. I managed to get a quick picture of him, which is good since I will need to explain to the landlord why it is I pried their cabinets apart...=P

Went into D.C. for the Japanese festival with a few friends and saw a couple of good shows. It started to get really cold and wet towards the end though, so I headed home.

Thus brings me here, chatting with friends and checking up on EVE Online. I've got some stuff in the works with a friend in regards to the latter, but I can't be too specific yet. Don't want to give anything away. ;)
