Me!

I loved that one where Calvin is hammering nails into the coffee table and his mum comes in and screams "Calvin!!! what are you doing????" and he just looks up and says "Is this a trick question?"

Spaceman Spiff!

My son is 6 this year now so I'm starting to relate to it more

I was Calvin when I was growing up except that I had dark brown hair and an Eeyore instead of Hobbes... All else is incredibly similar! Right down to the shaved head incident! And I used to make my babysitters cry!

I own a three volume leatherbound anthology of the entire series I got on eBay... best deal I ever got!!! I understand you can get same thing out of the SIGNALS catalog.

I think this is the course for you: http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/ ... /cmst.html

If I could afford it I would go to university, as a mature student, and study to design and build bridges. I don't see it happening any time soon though, I have too many kids to support.

My favourite Calvin and Hobbes:
He's looking up at a starry sky and says to himself "I am significant... said the speck of dust"

Thats a pretty interesting course hehe

Well i suppose i'l grap a civil engineering in software development (5 years).
Reason? I got more than 1 thing to lay on. I mean, music is a pretty random thing to involve on, and you never know how it goes.
The industry is seeking software developers (and often people with the education i'm starting on to lead the projects) a lot, so i suppose its a kind of 2 major plans i got myself, and if i make it in 1 of them i'll be happy.

both programming and music means a lot to me..

Sad thing about the money it costs in your place.. In denmark its free but nevertheless, its hard to support kids while being on university so its not something many can accomplish. I don't have any kids yet, not even a girlfriend but i got other trouble then.. Its hard for me to focus if its not something that interest me.. If i sit in front of the sequenzer its probably the time of all where i am most focused. It feels great though
