>You can probably guess I’ve been busy as there’s been nothing since the 23rd. I got some major XBox-ing done on Thursday night, got Blitz’02, and with a total of 4 controllers… enjoyed multiplayer fun-fun. Couple people made it over, nothing too exciting, but had a nice relaxing evening. Went camping on Friday night, chilled with friends in West Brookfield, saw the consequences of a COBRA 40oz malt… as demonstrated by my friend Justin. They went home, I got the tent… stayed up for a bit, finished up the rest of the beer, and basked in the comfort of my…
>People seem to get less happy with age. I’m an early twenties looking upon late twenties and wondering: “Will that be me?” I miss the gatherings that I used to have when I was younger, the friends who all used to be able to chill with each other — without issues, no drama. I’m also seeing those that made bad decisions around my age, those decisions having turned their life upside down, and causing regrets. The current “thing” seems to be marriage. I could have told ya that. =] I’m determined in my declaration of no marriage before 30. I…
>Odd… only took about an hour, and a single outburst — to put me in a bad mood. Not really a bad mood – per se… but I’m not in the jolly mood I was previously. It just irks me and I refrain from saying anything, as maybe they should have. It’s amazing how odd the shoe fits when you’re trying to put it on the other foot… ack! is EVERYONE in a bad mood today? I thought I was doing good, I hope this doesn’t ripple throughout the day, it won’t ripple through me, I’m determined to stay in…
>Not much going on, just choosing more movies to get via NetFlix. Currently working on Lain_03, what a series… it would make quite a game. For those that’ve asked: Here’s a list of my movies. All those movies you’ve been meaning to see… delivered to your door, keep them as long as you want, 3 out at a time, return 1, get 1 sent as soon as they receive it. Takes much less time then you would think — I get my movies in about 2 to 3 days. Fully insured, pre-paid envelopes, just seal… and send! Try Netflix!
>It’s somewhat strange that all this video game stuff comes up today… there was a short office discussion as to video games and marriage. Apparently pretty much every male here (Age 20+) plays video games in some form or another. It’s usually computer games. Some were given ultimatums – other’s continue their “habit”. I also read an article about NFL athletes playing more video games, sometimes until all hours of the night, effecting their sleep habits and performance on the field. This seems like a somewhat serious issue. I mean, not everyone who has a game system/computer plays games all…
>You can be a U.S. Marshal, too! What’s in a name? X B O X Stuff – It’s E3, ya know? nVidia XBox Chip Info XBox Live Game Lineup Lord of the Rings: FOTR Terminator: Dawn of Fate Unreal Championship Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter Midtown Madness 3 PC: Knight Rider NY Times: XBox Live
>There’s more! Would you like to see Star Wars: Episode 2? Operation XBox: complete. I requested they leave it at the local office… did a follow up call bright and early this morning… and sure enough: the package was on the truck for delivery — not at the office so I could pick it up. They did call me, I’ll give them that — which is the least they can do considering they didn’t call on Friday. I was able to manage a meeting with the UPS guy on Main St. later on in the day. Far… far too much…
>Friday was busy… a lot of hither and thither, but nothing exciting. I was hoping on getting my XBox delivered. Had I been up 3 minutes earlier… I was at the front door about 10 minutes to 12… nothing, checked the tracking info — UPS said they attempted delivery @ 11:57. I checked the side door again – bam, my games… but no XBox. I checked the front of the house: lo and behold — a tag. I then tried to get them to meet me somewhere, or pick it up from the local office — they promised me a…
>Attack of the Clones was very good. I was impressed as it was much more then I was expecting. It was great to see in full large-screen glory, complete with booming sound. I still haven’t seen Episode 1, so I guess I’ll have to go back and watch it. I wasn’t planning on seeing it the first night… but couple of friends were going and I was planning on hanging with them anyhow… and was able to get my ticket online beforehand, though there were some issues with that. I bought it from movietickets.com and it didn’t go through the…
>Going to check out that house tonight… took advantage of the XBox’s new price, and I’ve already purchased my ticket for a 12:06 showing of Attack of the Clones. I’ve been attempting to find the DivX about, which wouldn’t stop me from actually seeing it in a theater, but haven’t found a real copy of it yet. I’ve heard of others having them… so I’ll most likely stumble on one after the initial release. If you’re staying home: Don’t buy an Integra… Germany might try and pull a fast one… Ok, bird/dino thing is getting a little odd…
>The weather the past few days has been fairly dark… it was raining heavily all day yesterday, and was somewhat cold earlier today. About 4:30, or 5 it went from partly sunny to pouring rain. Halfway through the rain the sun came out, shining through the drops… creating somewhat of a sparkling effect on my cubicle wall. The rain has since stopped, and the sun is shining right on me. The trees outside form a sort of canopy, all soggy from the rain, the leaves just droop together. It’s a quiet, peaceful time outside. I got a call from Ken…
>Went out to Quabbin Reservoir for the day on Saturday, it was absolutely beautiful out. My friend Ken and I went up to the summit, hiked through the woods, and enjoyed the beautiful view. It was so clear, you could see for miles. Water, rocks, and trees… as far as you could see. It’s a great place to visit if you’re ever in Western MA. Observations: One thing I found interesting — here’s this big reservoir… good, clean water… but not a water fountain in sight. There’s various buildings around, lookout towers, etc… yet, no water fountains. The bathroom even…
>Wow, a lot can happen in a day. I spent a nice relaxing day driving around, getting a haircut, wandering aimlessly around the mall — you know, important errands. Had to meet up with a few people as they got out of work, hung out for a bit… then moseyed on over to my buddy Phil’s. His place is a great gathering place for all. His roommates are always there, only 1 seems to have a job… one’s retired @ 35, they add to the spice, however. It’s nice to never quite know who’s going to be there, who might…
>I’m so itching to be out — out of work, and out of home. I haven’t done much for the past few nights, though they’ve been interesting. I had a few people stop by and say hi, but for the most part everyone has been pre-occupied. I spent last night talking with a young lady who I was introduced to at the prompting of a work associate. I saw a picture, so I had an idea of what I was getting into. We sent an email back and forth… get the initial introduction over with. I didn’t have a recent…
>Took a few hours personal time off from work this morning… got some errands done… enjoyed the beautiful weather — and music, sweet music in my car. It was so nice. I also got a firewire cord for transferring from the DV cam I’m borrowing. I took some video last weekend just for the hell of it, playing with the options — seeing what I could do with it, etc. It’s got really good zoom, and some crazy effects. I’ll post what I did, they’re 355K WMA files. They should be up within the next couple of days. …almost time…
>Updates: edited album window to match the rest of the music page added quite a few of the first albums changed color scheme on movies page The actual song names might be downloadable in the future… or even better — somehow linked to audiogalaxy or some other p2p program. That way, no one person has to serve the files, and it’s decenralized. The actual CDs are available for the cost of shipping and handling – e-m@il me.
>Well, I’ve really been working on the site today… got some stuff done as far as the albums. With the completion of “Dumping Grounds” I’ve been wanting to display it. Check out the music page within the next couple of days… So far while I’ve been online I’ve had a few interesting events. I had to clean out a virus from my house-mate’s computer. It was as simple as deleting the file via command prompt mode and taking a line out of the registry. Some W32KLOTZ, hta file in the windows/system directory. System works fine, worm eliminated. I hope it…
>CNET Journalist blog Enjoy some good old fashioned repartee. Updates: new songs in all catagories (rock & hiphop slightly delayed as they’re not blog-ized) news finished “Dumping Grounds” – will post song list in Albums, I hope to set up serin.dynip.org and host the files as well, but we’ll see how that pans out… …more to come.
>I really don’t understand — some people are just… unfigur-outable. So we’re there at pool, having a grand old time… we make Jay have at least one drink with us, so he had a white russian. He had brought his girlfriend: she’s not of drinking age — and doesn’t agree with drinking. (which I’m sure will change once she’s 21) I struck up a conversation with her in the midst of playing pool. Later, as we got back to my place, and they were leaving, it’s this conversation that brings my friend to ask: “Did you ask her what she…
