This day in history

Just so that I don't forget, I have to say that:
On this day, December 23rd, in an effort set in motion three days prior, on December the 20th, I, Reed Charles Boskey, have completed one life-long goal of beating Rockman (also known under the guise of Megaman) X2 for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Gaming system.
YAAAAAAYYYY!!!





















It was not what I expected at all - the post-boss battles were actually quite easy, and in multiple stages, allowing me to replenish my health in between. It was kind of a joke...I was thinking all the way through the final fight: "there has to be another form of Sigma...this is too easy." And sure enough, going against everything I've learned from the Megaman series thus far, it was the final fight. Interesting. Or...maybe I just got really good at Mega/Rockman games over the years. Either way, that's 3 of the X series that I've beaten... I'm such a nerd. It was so worth it, though. Another personal accomplishment this break, to add to the paper, learning a lot of recipes from mi madre, and doing some personal reading...it's beginning to look pretty good.

Reed Richards Radio

Just so I don't lose them...though I guess they may timeout after a while, since it looks like that happened to my older posts. :(

Here's the 9th issue of Reed Richards Radio, from Fall 2008:

for some of that real Detroit shit...well, kinda. I did my best. I can definitely see the progress in my mixing since the semester started, which is pretty dope
