View From the Bushes

Looking back over my record of posting on Saturdays in November, I can see that it's less than spectacular. I almost didn't post again today, but I figured I should update you on the status of the "Xenogenic NPC." I was hoping to create a seperate framework/directory/file type etc., rather than just making the NPC the same as the snippets of adventures I already do. That turned out to be harder than I thought. If I haven't figured out how to do it by Monday, then I will just post the NPC as a snippet, though I'll make sure it's available to subscribers.

Other than that, the big excitement of the day was the game between my alma mater, the University of Utah and our arch-rivals to the south, BYU. If you haven't been following the Mountain West Conference, and I've little reason to suspect that you have, if Utah (which was heavily favored) won then it would be the first time since 1957 that they had clinched the outright conference championship (as oppossed to sharing it). If they didn't, they would be tied with New Mexico. BYU had done very poorly this season so they were thrust into the role of spoilers. To top everything off, there was a snowstorm that made Utah resemble the frozen tundra the Green Bay Packers use for football.

Obviously, if for no other reason than my captivating prose, you're dying to know what the score was, well when they say it was a defensive battle they weren't kidding -- the score was 3-0, Utah. I've seen higher scoring soccer matches. Of course, the score isn't important, the important thing is that "we" won.
