It's The End of the Odyssey Project As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

This is my official post-Odyssey Project post.
It is done! It is over! It's handed in, and whatever my final grade will be is out of my hands now! THANK GOD! This is is the hugest sigh of relief I've taken in a LONG time. This good feeling is only helped by the fact that it is really nice outside, and we have an Odyssey project-free spring break, with nothing to do but play Brawl and pick out which book we're reading for fourth quarter. Speaking of which, what are you guys considering reading? Just from a quick glance at the list and some Wikipedia searches based on the titles, I'm looking at Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and Chimera by John Barth.
The Odyssey Project wasn't actually that bad for me. I know some people stayed up to 4 a.m. making interactives and turning their project into a gigantic tome, but I finished around 10:00, having started as soon as I got home, and after doing my other homework, went to bed around 11:00 (which has been usual throughout the project). How late did you guys stay up?
I'll give you three guesses as to what video game this pic is from.

Dude, I just came back from buying Gravity's Rainbow, I got the copy with smaller print, and on the back it says the cover was drawn by Frank Miller. That's weird, he writes about ancient soldiers, and draws for a book about bombs going off every time a guy gets a boner. I also got the las Maximum Ride book!

Does the cover look like it was drawn by Miller? Cause his style is pretty obvious.

Does anyone else sense the ridiculous dichotomy in effect with those two books?

ahh, rem. oh the 80s music.

i was up til... 2, i think. yes, 2, i remember now, b/c andy mocked me b/c he was up til 2:30. then he was like, ha i beat you, and i was like, ha i got to bed b4 you.

which is better, having pride at going to bed before someone or having pride at going to bed later than everyone else? either way, the person seems heroic.

good job, christian. unlike most ppl, you did your homework for your other classes.
