Another day, another boring time
Another day, another boring time spent infront of my computer. I can't
wait to have a new job so that i'm not sitting in front of my computer
all the time... it'd be nice to look at other computers too. And i want
the G35, but that's going to take some time as well, eh?
Latest Brittney quote: "When Spears talks about the South Asian musical
influences on “In the Zone,” she says she’s “been into a lot of Indian
spiritual religions.” When asked if one of them is Hinduism, she says,
“What’s that? Is it like kabbalah?” "... how amusing.
Finally got to start playing Unreal 2 again. It had been on my computer
prior to the Nuking, but i had uninstalled it to put some other stuff
on there. When i got my new vid card, i tried to reinstall it, which
didn't work, b/c apparently the uninstall wasn't working correctly and
had told my computer that the game was still on there. I couldn't
uninstall, i couldn't reinstall, and i couldn't "fix" it. i was not
pleased. but now that it's on the reformatted computer, it works
beautifully. The textures on this game are awesome. Too bad that the
story kinda blows. Tonight is beggar's night. YAY! i get to reminse of
the days of when i got to dress up and run around the neighborhood
getting all kinds of candy. I remember one year i went w/ the pirnia
brothers. Mike had made this extravagant and really well put together
alien costume. Nick dressed as himself. *rolls his eyes* Somewhere
along the night, nick "accidentally" hit mike in the head w/ his fist.
oops! no more alien costume! ;) Halloweens since then have been kinda
foggy, especially ones at UD. But i do remember freshman year (since i
hadn't started drinking yet like normal UD kids) i went as Duct Tape
Man, as DanE had suggested. pretty good night, got lots of good
comments, but i had alot of trouble getting that duct tape out of my
hair. Even had the RA help me (biiiiiig football guy). So i ended up
having to cut it out of my hair. :$
Lil miss preggo downstairs was tokin' it these past few days. Naturally
this comes as a bit of a culture shock to me, despite the fact that i
had already imagined that ppl do this, but i had never thought i'd
actually witness it. Anish was shocked too, but then again he thinks
that drug deals are going down every night at the abandoned school next
door. I told him prolly not. It prolly only goes down on the weekends.
Ben's friend (whose name i've forgotten) regaled a story of some of the
C-ville kids having a bad drug deal go down. And of course, this made
me laugh at their stupidity. CDs, video games, wine, and novels are a
much better investment than drugs. ;)
Today's thought: Name Four Things You Are Thinking About Now:
1) How awesome Unreal 2 looks but sucks as a game
2) When can i get Halo PC from Dan/Ben?
3) How much more time can i waste today after having completed two
"brochures" for work?
4) Why is my bamboo dying?? :(
