I’m sitting alone in my room again… it’s 4:12AM. I’m up because, once again, I let a book keep me up later than can be considered healthy. That’s the second time this week. Damn you Murakami… As I set the book down, I came to a realization: There’s nothing I’m especially talented at. I’m good …
At CnC last night, Mr. Penny and I started talking about computers again. The conversation was peppered with such terms as “Texture and Lighting”, “SLI”, “3D Marks”, and the fondly remembered “3Dfx Voodoo ______.” Anyway, it got me thinking about how these days it’s actually cool to be nerdy. (I actually came up with a …
Today is my Sunday. Tomorrow, I go back to the lab… and I start working again, secretly (well, overtly) yearning for the day when I no longer have to be there. Um. So, CnC was a little different on monday. We had a visitor chat with us for a while. Some random mattress salesman that …
“Twas the night before new years and all through the house, not a creature was stirring. Except for Earl’s sad ass who has work tomorrow. Peace” Lacks feeling. So, a couple weeks ago, I bought a cd/mp3 player to tide myself over while I save up for a Dell Jukebox… yes, I’m deviating from the …
Apparently, every present I buy must be either: a) a book, or b) something musical. There are always rare exceptions to the rule, of course.. which probably should’ve just been given it’s own c) header. Fine…. c) video game related. Today must have been the single longest shopping spree I have ever been on. Maybe …
My computer’s dead…. someone hold me. I think I may need a new motherboard. The worst part of it all is, no World of Warcraft. AAAARRGGHHH!!!! Also… the other day I was driving home from work and a new light showed up on my dashboard. It had a little symbol of and engine and the …
i will type entirely in lowercase today. so, today i get home from work, ready to play a little world of warcraft. i sit down at my computer, hit the power switch, and watch as it does absolutely nothing. absolutely nothing? aren’t you supposed to like, boot up or something? bah! i’m going to microcenter tomorrow. …
It’s 3am again. I should’ve been asleep an hour ago, but World of Warcraft is addicting. It’s binary crack. I’ve been neglecting you again, Xanga. So, I got a new 10-gallon aquarium for my hermit crab. When I put her/him in it, he/she looked pretty happy for a while. And then it realized there were …
Hello everyone! If everyone could just turn to page 30 (my Nov. 30, 2002 entry) so I can avoid reiterating my feelings on thanksgiving… thanks. Thanks to everyone, however, for making yesterday a raher enjoyable celebration of oldness. I haven’t had so much fun at the pub in a while. I miss seeing people that …
This past week has been a blur of work, hookah smoke, drunken fun… and most importantly, phosphor bronze lights. The boys of 1186 Corella are now proud owners of a 3-hose hookah, which has gotten hasn’t had the chance to cool down since it came in on wednesday… but today we’re giving it a much …
