Falcon...Punch! And also Most Haunted

Super Smash Brothers is fun, but it makes my thumbs hurt...It's a nice change to play against someone other than Alex, cause now I actually have a shot at winning!

Speaking of nothing in particular, Most Haunted on Friday night was awesome. For those who don't know, Most Haunted is a show about a bunch of British folks who (normally) travel around the UK, stay overnight in various ancient/historical locations, and frequently get the shit scared out of them. Anyway, Friday's episode was a special Most Haunted USA. Here's where things get crazy/awesome. Of all the countless haunted locations they could have investigated, it just so happened that they chose NEW LONDON LEDGE LIGHT!! You know, that red one you pass every time you take the Fisher's Island Ferry? The one I can see from campus on a clear day? Yeah, that one. They were there. Was it coincidence, or providence? Who knows, but either way it was awesome.
Apparently the Ledge is haunted by a ghost known as "Ernie," though Mediums consistently come up with the name John Randolf. The story goes that while on duty as keeper, John discovered that his wife had eloped with another man. John was so devastated by the news that he ascended to the top of the lighthouse and jumped to his death. Others say that he slit his throat before jumping. The legend is apparently well known, despite there being no historical record of a keeper of the Ledge named John Randolf. 'Tis a mystery!
Ok, that's all the random I've got for you today.

Stuff!

Well, since everyone else in my family is starting one I figured what the hell. This space will be used for information on my escapades at college, as well as any other randomness I deem worthy of being put here. So yeah, awesome. Stay tuned!
