  • 2008-09-22 02:24:20 AWA was good times

    and now I'm tired, but I have to wait for my laundry so I have clothes to wear tomorrow and did I mention that I was tired? because if I didn't I just wanna let you know that I am tired.
    ...tired
    ...tsusfd
    ...zzz

    things I learned at AWA:
    bacon vodka, not just a myth
    yue = strange...fun, but strange
    cars in Georgia don't have front license plates
    T-mobile's voice-mail # has a 0 in it
    F.C. is a spy
    Slackergirl is a real doctor
    Almost everyone knows "still alive" by heart, and a few have it on their cells
    I suck at beatmania

    managed to find good deals on anime in the dealers room (kinda surprised me) go the first two volumes of code geass for $28 and the 6th volume of Shuffle! for $20

    Funimation also picked up Higurashi, so I'll get to see the end of it

    *goes to retrieve laundry and then sleep* 
  • 2008-09-07 00:01:18 ack...bored...
    bored and no motivation
    homework to do
    flight booked for AA

    started re-watching Trigun
    nothing like a classic

    looks like Shin-chan will keep my mind away from the boredom for 30min 
  • 2008-08-30 21:47:08 Ack, I did something to my back while I was moving into the dorms today.
    Lifting the tv did it for me, not carrying it from the truck into my room, but picking it up a little higher to be able to get it into my room. Strange, stupid...and a bit uncomfortable.

    despite that my Dad and I managed to get everything into my room in 3 trips...and I just got everything set up not too long ago.

    Back to folding@home for me, gpu2 client is looking like it'l net me about 1700 points per day (better than the 1150 I was managing with the other [smp] version I was running on linux)

    Met all my suitemates today, and it's looking promising for this year
    Roommate seems like a nice guy, and at the very least we have more in common than my roommate and I did last year.

    temperature is about 78-79 F...a bit warm, but livable
    poor compy is running at 36C idle (47 C at 75% load) :( 
  • 2008-08-22 02:11:06 one comment...
    Olympic power walking?

    wtf...seriously, wtf?
    I think I've found a new olympic "sport" to mock instead of ping-pong

    oh yeah, car broke down again (timing belt)
    small car is quickly becoming expensive car 
  • 2008-08-20 23:42:11 Almost forgot to brag about my car's MPG

    Filled up yesterday, and I started using some gas-saving tactics on this last tank.
    MPG before: ~27-29
    MPG on last tank: 36.5

    Yeah, it's a small car (87 Lynx) but +9 mpg is still nothing to sneeze at.
    With a little more practice I can probably get 40MPG

    take that you new-fangled hybrid cars
