The day finished out fine for me. Until I got home.

I worked a lot on Michelle at school, and got some helpful advice from David and Jason after they saw my work. I’m really far ahead. That’s good, because when I got home…. MY FILE WAS CORRUPTED.

I really gotta hope that the copy at school isn’t, otherwise I’m going to be doing 4 hours of work over again. That would be very suck-ass.

I managed to salvage a JPEG of the work I had done to post, but I can’t get to my managable file just yet.

Updated Michelle

Plenty of progress between the new and the old. The new for some reason looks a little washed out, but I like it. I don’t know how that happened, but I hope it happened on the file at school.

I really hope I can get the file working tomorrow, otherwise I’m gonna be bummed out all day. :-\

Well… kinda.

When I brought home another copy of my file and tried to open it yesterday, I got really pissed. I knew there was a problem with working between the school computer, and mine.
That’s no so much the problem as the two options I was given. I searched more and more and worked at it and figured out there was a problem with the mesh… what, I dunno. Don’t care, really. I just wanted to fix that or my file.

Fixing the problem by fixing Illustrator is not an option. I tired fixing it so there were no incompatiblites, but that didn’t work. After 4 hours of working at this I gave up.

This meant that I either had to finish working on it at school and only at school, which meant that despite the fact that I was ahead, I would probably fall far behind. Then who knows, I could take it to kinko’s and have the same problem there. Wouldn’t that suck?

My Other option was to cut my losses and keep working on the outdated file I had at home, which meant I would lose about 5 hours of VERY VERY good work. To me, re-doing it wasn’t the bad idea, it’s the thought that I wouldn’t be able to do the same job I did at school.

Of course I wouldn’t choose either of those options. That’s just silly because it means I lose something either way.

So what on EARTH did I do? Welllll…..

I opened up the Illustrator file in a text editor, learned how it is put together, and proceeded to delete the damaged sections (any layer with mesh on it) of the file only looking at lines of code.
Go ahead, see if you can make sense of it.

After that, I was able to open the file, minus the layers with mesh, and I just copied and pasted everything else into the previously-outdated-now-up-to-date file. After all of that, I have a file that works on my computer that is only missing one layer from my school file and any changed I made to the face at school. Man, that rocks!

Clearly, I was the winner.

The moral of this story: I’m a nerd. When it comes to computer, I don’t settle for second.

Yeah. Really not much. I wasted my day at school. It was pretty boring because I can’t do any work. I sat around, listened to music and talked to kitty and Emily some.

…

….

So work… work was pretty boring. I made some burgers, and that’s about all.

I got to see Racheal last night. In the midst of trying to get back my file I forgot to mention that.

And not much else has happened. The end.

Work tonight was pretty lousy. And I forgot to take my pizza home with me. I’ll be pretty bummed if it gets thrown away before I can get to it tomorrow, because I’d hate to have paid 20 bucks for it and have that happen.
Anyway, work was lousy because we were stupid busy, which is different from fun busy. Fun busy is, as the name might suggest, fun, because it keeps you moving and time goes fast. Everyone only has to make a decent effort and we not only do well, but everyone comes out happy. Stupid busy, contrary to it’s name, is beyond retarded. And when I say that, I usually refer to the quality of work some people put out. Okay, call me a tight-ass, but I know my stuff around that place and I know when people aren’t doing there jobs… usually because people like me end up picking up the slack. Then they go home early and I still have to stay until the wee hours of the night. Luckly, that really didn’t happen tonight, but there was a lot of crap that didn’t need to happen tonight.
I was really looking foward to listening to music at 10. REALLY looking forward to it. Then at 10 O’clock, I was horridly dissappointed when CD player wasn’t working. It wasn’t reading discs at all. The antennae broke off too. So the only stations I could pick up on the radio where some lousy country stations and a religious channel.
:(
At midnight, Jon was off. That’s kinda stupid. So I went back to do dishes because I could play CDs in the DVD player. YAY!
Then after we were done (at 1:15) I went outside and had some fun. First I threw the radio into the air about 20 feet and watched it crash down, breaking off a back panel and one of the speakers. Then I threw it down as hard as I could and it broke the other speaker off, as well as some other panels and stuff. Finally, I held the remainder of it by the handle and smashed it into the curb. It broke right in half.
I took it back to Ann and we left it on the desk. She wrote a note that said “The Radio Broke”… and it’s sitting there next to the most recognizable pieces of the radio. We had a good laugh at that one.

School today was kinda dumb. David had to go somewhere at noon, so I basically went there to hear 30 minutes of a lecture then I left. I spent an hour and 20 minutes on the road for 30 minutes of class. In fact, it probably cost me 2.25 in gas (I keep pretty good track of my gas spending), which would take me (after taxes) 20 minutes to make up. So, ideally, you could say that I spent an hour and FORTY minutes for a 30 minute class. I have too much to think about on my drive to and from school.

My room is trashed. I need to clean it, but my mom has been hell bent of me getting all of my stuff into my room and out of the dining room and garage. So I have stuff piled everywhere and I have no place to put it. I hate to make it sound the way it’s going to, but I really can’t wait until Joe moves out and I have a bigger room to myself. Sharing my room with my dad’s computer is really getting on my nerves. Even if I clean my room, his desk is trashed and he starts putting papers and stuff all around the area. The little space I have for my stuff is being invaded by his stuff. Oi! Whatever.

Whatever. I like that word. It’s like “I don’t give a damn. Fuck it. Clearly you will never see my way and it’s not worth my time or breath saying any more to you.”
“What… ever.” Too bad the stress doesn’t go away when you use that, otherwise I’d be damn happy.

I’m giving up on that motherboard that I got back in.. what was it.. May? The support people for this thing are non-responsive to me and this problem isn’t something I can solve on my own… I know this because I’ve tried everything I know and I’ve put about 15 hours into trying to figure out the problem and looking for answers on the internet.
That really pisses me off.
“Whatever.”

Yesterday wasn’t a bad day at all. It was great until I had to go to work. Work wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but it’s like, i was having a great day and I was getting so much done.. then I had to work.

I went to lunch at quizno’s with my mom. That place is pretty good, and they have vanilla coke. YUM!

Then we came home and I helped her put a base coat of paint on the dining room. (remember how I said she wanted me to get all my stuff out of there? That’s why. We’re re-doing it.) We got the whole thing done in about 3 hours total. It probably would have taken her 5-7 if I wasn’t helping her. I’m sure she appreciated it and that I did a good job, because she wants me to help her do the top coat on Sunday. It’s some faux finish sort of thing and it looks pretty neat-o.

I got some time to work on that case I’ve had for like, a year now. I mounted the plexi to the top and the bottom, so I should be able to start putting some stuff in it in a few days. I gotta mount the PSU before I do that, though. This is the reason I’m trying to get that mobo working, because I want to put it in there when it’s done.

I hate getting home from work late, because our water-softener is running by then. It takes 2-3 hours to run, and I can’t get a shower while it is, something about it sends direct city water into it and royally F’s it up. So it’s going on 3 now and hopefully it will stop running soon so I can get a shower and go to bed.
That’s a sorta-whatever.

I got a little bit of work done on Michelle Wednesday night. I made a nose and got the lips a lot better, but now she looks fake, so I’m going to have to work on that some more. She’s almost “done” though. When I say done, I mean, she’s almost to the point where I could not do anything the rest of the term and pull off a B or a C. But that isn’t what’s going to happen. I’m going to get an A++++++ (like people get on Ebay) and it’s going to be put in the display case. Since I started CState, my goal has been to get something put in the display case. That’s all I want. In fact, I don’t care if I fail this project like a handicapped kid fails phys-ed, as long as I make it into the case. I was thinking about actually sending a copy to Michelle Branch and seeing if I could get it autographed. That would be so cool to have.

Anyway, I guess that’s all I have to say for now, and I really want to get my shower and go to bed…

so I can work tomorrow

See ya.

No school tomorrow! Yay!
I don’t know why, really, but Cincinnati State has off for Columbus day, of all days. We get a whopping week vacation for Christmas but they are more than happy to give us Columbus day off. Oh well. I’m more than happy to reap the benefits because Monday is my long day… and now I don’t have a long day this week

I hope to get a lot done tomorrow. I know I have some homework to do before Tuesday. I got tons of work to do in design because I didn’t really “know” that I had to have some sketches for my final project in design last Friday. I put ‘know’ in quotation marks because I wasn’t in class for the lecture about our final project. So I really have no idea as to what is going on besides what I’ve read on the assignment sheet. I just happened to look at the Syllabus last week and notice that part of the final project was due… but I only had time to do part of that. I did the part that mattered for Friday. So I gotta sit down and think about the rest of that and get something solid, because I’m behind. Then I have to work on the CD Album project for design, too.

As far as Illustrator… well… I haven’t been moving nearly at the same pace I did last weekend. I’ve slowed down because the parts I have left to do are somewhat frustrating, because they require so much detail to prevent the entire thing from looking fake. It’s safe to say that on my picture, Michelle’s nose is the hardest part, mainly the bridge of the nose. I’ve got both nostrils done and her left side of the bridge.
I have a lot of work done on the lips, but they haven’t been given the attention the nose has, and they make everything look pretty fake.
Check the Obligitory Progress Picture

I was hoping to be able to send a print of this to Michelle Branch to get it autographed, because it would be awesome to have artwork I did with her autograph on it on my wall… but I was looking around about sending it to her and they requested that you don’t send something to be autographed. I’m going to try emailing them and seeing if there is anything I can do.

Well then… what else…

My mom and I finished painting the dining room. We had some troubles at first, because the way we were supposed to put the paint on wasn’t working right… but we figured out another way. It doesn’t look exactly like it was planned to, but it looks pretty good. I’ll take some pictures tomorrow, perhaps. It started out looking kinda sissy-like, and I thought that it looked okay, but because of the whole sissy thing I didn’t personally like it. It worked out because the 3rd layer of paint got really dark as it dried. Basically, it has kind of a carnation colored base layer that can barely be seen through a cornflowerish blue that looks like it was applied by being rubbed on with a towel (basically, it was.) That sounds kinda ghetto, but it’s not. It looks good. Then after dinner my mom gave me forty dollars for helping her. I didn’t want her to pay me. I had fun doing it, and now she doesn’t have the privledge of saying I don’t do anything around the house But oh well. I guess I get to buy myself a little something or other now. Any suggestions?

Last night… was absolutely awesome. You know, just thinking about what to type, I really don’t know where to start, so I’ll just go in order.

I got home from work, which was a typical Saturday (Halfway between fun busy and stupid busy, as described in the previous entry.) and of course Mary just stressed the whole day… anyway, I got home from work and Andy Fleming IMed me asking if I wanted to go the WSU hockey game. So I talked to Mike and we both decided to go. One of Andy’s roommates in on the team, so he was gonna go, and admission was free. I was hoping for something to do all day while I was at work, and that was great idea.

I got a shower, went to Mike’s, then we went to Andy’s around. We got to his place at about 5, hung around there for about 15-20 minutes, then went to the WSU softball game. Kristin wanted Mike to stop by to sit with her or something, and that was plenty fine because the hockey game didn’t start until 8. After the softball game, we went to Steak N’ Shake. I love that SnS, it’s the only good one left. I think our waitress thought I was cute. Or maybe I should stop listening to Mike.

So, we ate, we talked, the food was good, then we went to the Nutter Center. I started remembering what it was like to be at WSU and I felt kinda down because I loved living up there. I just wish I had done more and not had been kinda lonely because of it. I’m happy that I’m doing well at CState, but I can’t help but think about how much fun I’d be having at WSU. *sigh*

So yeah.. hockey. The game was awesome. The Raiders were facing EKU, and I was told the Raiders won the game against them the night before 10-4. It started out kinda rough, EKU got 3 goals in the first period, and WSU only had one. In the final couple minutes of the first, the Goalie for EKU got a roughing call. It’s pretty rare for goalies to get penalties. With about 5 seconds left, the Goalie got another penalty, this time for blatently hitting a WSU player in the head and throwing him down… after a play. He got a 5 minute major (for those who don’t know, that means he’s in the penalty box for 5 minutes, and nothing will get him out early.) When he got to the box, he threw his stick and gloves down. He was a real hot-head. That netted him a 10 minute game misconduct, which basically meant he would spend the second period in the box, then stay in the locker room for the third. Hahha. HAHAHA.
The funniest part came when the second period started, with 4:56 left in the penalty for the goalie. WSU managed 4 goals in that time, putting the score at 5-3. The rest of the game was pretty awesome because the crowd kept getting more and more pumped… all 80 or so of them.

Long story short… the final score was 6-4, WSU with the win. EKU was booed off the ice.

At the end of the second period, some guy was being obnxious to the EKU bench and got arrested, but mostly because he resisted and fought when the officer sitting behind him told him to stop. That was pretty funny because the 50 year old officer wrestled him to the ground. He got beat by an old man. That’s a pretty lame way to get yourself arrested.

Afterwords, the three of us went back to Mike’s and played some Smash Brothers Melee. Me and Mike had a really good bout after we finished off Andy and the CPU. we were both on our last lives, and he manged to send me flying It’s cool though, because we both know that we are so awesome at that game.

Well, I’m sure that I could find some other things to write about, but that’s already more than most people care to read for only a weekend’s worth, so, adieu.

Right. So, Tuesday was another boring day at school. A brief lecture and then some work time. I gotta have a project done by tomorrow. Sure. Tuesday night at work was pretty “eh-eh”. Nothing profound happened.

However, yesterday was fun. I woke up around 9:30-10, and about 15 minutes later my mom gets home and says “It’s a shame that you didn’t have class earlier this morning otherwise you wouldn’t have had school. It was closed until 10 because of a water main break.” So I laughed at that, because my school is a piece of crap, then I went upstairs to play on my computer. Right as I was walking in my door, someone IMed me and said that the school just closed until 5, and they weren’t letting anyone in. That’s awesome. So I got out of school yesterday, which is fine with me because I wouldn’t have done anything except get my project critiqued.

So I spent my day doing jack crap… kinda.. until around 2. I went to WSU to pick Mike up from school (since his car is “in da shop”) and we went to his apartment. We went to down the tennis courts and played around a little. Mike didn’t realize that his skates where in his car (which is in the shop) until he went to put them on. Otherwise we probably woulda played hockey.

Afterwords, we sat around and busted out some SNES games. We started to play a game of Monopoly on SNES, but it locked up right before I KILLED EVERYONE. Seriously guys, it was going to happen. Deal with it.

We also had an awesome dinner prepared by doug, which was chicken with some breading on it.. and pasta with cheese.. kinda prepared like a casserole. It was yum times 10.

Then I went home and did pretty much nothing. And that’s about all I’ve done this morning too. Exciting, huh?

So right now I’m sitting at my computer (duh, it would be a little hard to type this if I wasn’t) and there is an ugly rain outside. It’s been raining pretty much all day. Of course window is open, the rain may be ugly, but it’s calming. I don’t wanna miss it. There is a tree right outside my window and I can tell when the rain picks up and slows down because of the sound the rain makes when it’s hitting the leaves. It’s halfway between the sound of a waterfall and the sound that cereal makes as you pour a bowl full of it. I just thought that was kinda neat-o.

It was great to have yesterday off. I didn’t do much of anything. At least not anything productive. Most of my day was spent playing on the internet and thinking about doing my homework…. which I thought about up until midnight last night, then decided that I would keep for the morning. I ended up just not doing it. I got off easy because he didn’t check for it today. That’s cool, but I guess I’m still behind.

Well, I did work a bit more on Michelle.
Another Progress Picture
I’m as good as done with her face, the only way I will really change something is if Jason suggests it or after staring at it I decide that something doesn’t look right.
I could probably turn this in today and get a C on it. But I have two weeks left and a C wouldn’t get me to my goal. In the following days I will probably work on her neck and shirt, and then “finish” her hair.

I watched “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” yesterday. It was alright. It was like watching two seperatly interesting stories that never seemed to come together. I assume that was the point, though. It had a slow start though, and I got to about an hour in when I had to do something else to prevent myself from losing intrest.

Anyway, that’s about it. I’m just killing some time before I head to work. I hate having a good amount of time before you have to go somewhere, but it’s somehow never enough to get anything done :-\

I would have been scheduled 27 hours in a matter of 3 days if I hadn’t let Rob take 4 of them from me on Thursday. Still, closing then opening is pretty harsh. But I think I like it. You know me, I love challenges.

Okay… what’s happened in the past few days…

Not much happened Tuesday until after work. I went to Mike’s and bought Matrix Reloaded and watched it with him. I fell asleep in the last 15 minutes. I was pooped. I got home about 1:15 and climbed right into bed.

I woke up too early the next day. My mom seems to think that sleeping past 9 is stupid, just because she’s up at 6 in the morning. My theory is that in a matter of that 3 hours, she either a) gets angry because she couldn’t sleep that long or b) gets lonely being awake all by herself and wants to make me suffer by waking me up. Even still, I managed to stay in bed until 10, then I mostly just wasted time on the computer before leaving for Illustrator. Illustrator was somewhat enjoyable. Jason pointed out a few things that he’d like to see me fix on Michelle (which have haven’t really done anything to since Tuesday.)

We also got to talking about doing some things for the MID Group. “Technically” I’m the MID President, leader, whatever. But about this time last year, everyone who cared about the student group either totally lost intrest or graduated, and nobody has wanted to do anything. I’ve attemped to have 3 meetings since this happened, and the grand total for attendance (including myself) for all of the meetings combined is 6. To be bluntly honest, that’s depressing, because I spent plenty of time emailing notices and posting them around school, and no one really gave a damn. So we thought up some neat-o ideas and maybe we’ll get the chance to use them. The one that excited me the most was a game night, where we just hoard 228C for a night and play some video games, board games… eat pizza… whatever. Just be ourselves but at school, with everyone.

Anyway, I actually hung around school until 6:30, because I met Emily to go to a concert. We went to Bogarts to see Hanson. First off, they put on a damn good show, and I would go again if I had the chance. There is a reason it sold out. Secondly, before you go trashing Hanson, realize 2 things, one, that most people don’t like them simply because they were more successful before they were 20 than most people will ever be in their LIFE, and that while their musical ability isn’t God-like, they are very skilled with a variety of instruments and doa good job of harmonizing. Finally, I will defend Hanson for the sole reason that no one can give me one good reason why they suck. Not liking them is not a reason, and being annoyed by their music is not one, either. They’ve come a long way since MmmBop, which, mind you, came out when I was FRESHMAN IN HIGHSCHOOL, and a whopping 14 years old. Hanson was also in direct competition with groups such as the Spice Girls, which have more than broken up and been forgotten. Hanson has lasted.

To top off a great show… afterwords we waited around for them to come out. We got their autographs and shook hands with them, enough to be called meeting them. They were very friendly and answered questions as fast as they could make them out from the over-zealous crowd. Their new acoustic CD is now sitting on my desk with all three of their autographs on it, and I’m proud to say it. The CD is pretty awesome, too. Before you go knocking them, I suggest you at least check it out.. in specific the song “Deeper”. Soon, there will be a version of it out (probably all over the radio) with Michelle Branch playing and singing along. I Love Michelle. Funny enough, she got discovered opening for Hanson, so at the bear minimum, I owed it to them for bringing my psuedo-girlfriend into the light.

Thursday kinda sucked, I was just about to walk out the door to run some errands with my mom when Wendy’s called. I didn’t know I was supposed to be there at 11. My shift was 11-8, and I just wasn’t up to that, so I let Rob take the evening portion of my hours, which I was very grateful for him doing. I spent the night chillin’ at Mike and Doug’s (since Doug was there!). We played some games and watched some movies. It was great. I would have loved to not had anything to do Today so that I could have stayed longer, but I had class this morning.

It’s 2:19 now, and I have about 4 more hours of time left to sleep… so I’m gonna try and wrap this up.

School today was pretty eh-eh. I got there, and just like the other day, I spent an hour and a half driving to be somewhat dissappointed. There was no lecture. It was basically a day to work on our projects. Which was cool… but at the same time I just WASTED TIME and MONEY to go there and do what I could have done at any point in my day today. To top it off, I had to come home from Mike and Doug’s last night because of it.

After class, I grabbed a soda from the vending machine. Vanilla coke, of course. Right now, they are having one of the cap games, where “one in six wins a free twenty once coke!”. Before today, I had gotten a Vanilla Coke from that machine twice, both in the past couple of weeks, and won a free soda both times. Today, I got another one. Big deal, huh? But think about this… the “statistical” odds of that happening is 1 out of 216! But you also have to understand the odds that out of the hundreds of people who use that machine each day, I have gotten three winners, three times in a row, after trying ONLY three times. That just struck me as pretty amazing, and it gave me something to think about on my drive home.

That brings me up to work tonight. Nothing new, same old-same old… Becca was all moody because she was pissed that Jordan was being pissy because she was being pissy to him or something retarded like that. Whatever. I’m not touching that one any more than I have.

It is now 2:27, and I think it would be a good idea for me to get into bed, because there isn’t much more worth talking about.

Saturday wasn’t that bad. I didn’t manage to fall asleep until 4 something or other, and I woke up to the alarm just fine at 6:30. So I got a whopping two hours of sleep before heading to work. The work I did Friday night paid off, because I managed to be sluggish all day and get my job done in time. Mary bought McDonald’s for everyone, which was pretty darn cool. I didn’t get tired until about 1 or so, and then my eyes were just flat out burning. I was fine though. I started a half-assed job at post at 2, and normally it takes about 45 minutes for two people to do it… I managed to get most of it done in an hour.

I went to church right after work so I could sleep in today. I’m surprised I was able to stay awake the whole time. Not that church is boring, but in a warm building with dim lights, on two hours of sleep, I think a 10 year old that drank 10 expressos could sleep.

I went home, had dinner and then there was about an hour I don’t remember… then I went to lay down for a bit around 6:30. I woke up when Mike called me at 7:30 asking if I wanted to hang out. He told me to be there at 9 and I went back to sleep for a little bit. At 9, my mom woke me up and told me I should probably just get changed for bed and call it a night, because I was sleeping still in my church clothes, gel in my hair and all. I realized it was 9 and went to Mike’s instead.

At Mike’s, I watched the Italian Job, which was awesome. I missed the first 20-30 minutes or so, though. A friend from Mike and I’s hockey class my sophmore year at WSU stopped by and watched it with us. Kristin and Her mom came by to check out the apartment because her mom was in town visiting. So we stopped the movie for a bit and talked with them, and finished it after they left.

After that, Mike and I played some video games until we both just got sick of being awake. I had gone there with the intention of staying the night, but there is no substitute for my cozy bed, so I drove home at 1:15 or so. I went to bed as soon as I got home.

I woke up this morning around 10:30. The morning was just flat out weird. I knew my parents had gone down to cincy for a bit for TallStacks, and Joe was the only other one home. I was REALLY REALLY bored, so I mostly just went up to my computer, then back downstairs to see if anything new had happened downstairs in the time it took me to go upstairs. I carried on this pattern for about an hour or so before I just decided to put on a movie.
So I sat in my room for a while and watched the Boondock Saints (good movie.) and then I went downstairs to see that Joe was now gone, and my parents were home. I went back upstairs, got on my computer for about 10 minutes, went back downstairs, and no one was home… Upstairs again, an hour later, my parents were home. blah blah blah, yadda yadda, more boringness ensued, then after dinner I worked on Michelle some more. Most of the facial details are done, but I may notice some other things later. I added a couple things to the neck and I’ve started working on the shirt. I still need to finish the hair, but I’m thinking that will probably take about 4 more hours or so, so I don’t wanna start that just yet. If I keep up the pace that I started, I should be just about done next weekend. The consensus around class is that I suck because I’m far ahead, but after this weekend, other people’s should be starting to look more like mine.
Yet Another Progress picture.
You won’t notice too many changes between the last one and this one because it was mostly subtle stuff on the face that I worked with.
Tomorrow, we are supposed to have our first prints displaying our progress. I’m going to take some photo paper with me tomorrow. If I get the chance to print, I will. But I don’t care if I do or don’t. I am well on my way to my goal. Like I said, I don’t care if I fail, I just want to be in the display case.

So anyway, here it is, nine o’clock on Sunday, and I think I’m just gonna put in another movie and clean my room a bit.

PEACE OUT MAN!

I’m stuck at school right now. It’s a stupid monday night, and after having last Monday off I feel really crappy hanging around here. I don’t wanna be here, but my next class is still three and a half hours away. I’ve done all the internet surfing I can, I can’t work on my Illustrator project, and I’m just BORED. I’m probably just gonna start typing something up to put on my site… what… I dunno. Maybe some more tutorials or something. The only problem is that I won’t be able to upload them until later tonight.

Last night I ended up watching “The Recruit” while cleaning some stuff up in my room. Of course, as usual, I still have much to take care of. I managed to re-assemble a Super Nintendo that has been in pieces on my floor since last winter. I still have to re-assemble the n64, but I don’t know where the screws are… and I had some screws left over from the SNES, so I think I may used the n64 screws on the SNES. Oi! I haven’t tested the SNES to see if it still works or not, though.

I should be getting the motherboard I won off of ebay today. I hope I get home early enough to test it out. I hooked up the KVM switch I bought the other day and it works fine. That is neat.

Something REALLY weird happened on my way to school this morning. I was listening to the White Stripes “Seven Nation Army”, hitting back on my CD player right after the first two… bars?.. so it would keep looping them over and over (I get bored on my drive to school) and after doing that twenty times or so, I decided to turn on the radio instead of listening to a CD. I turned the radio on and Seven Nation Army started over from the beginning. Except it was on the radio… RIGHT as I was switching to it.. that just struck me as funny and for the next few minutes I was just kinda in awe about it. Okay, it sounds better in my head that it does in type.

There is this Asian guy in my lab right now, at the station next to me that is wanting me to help him make a CD. He is speaking in very broken English and is basically annoying the hell out of me. The guy has been in here before and I helped him once. He needs to get the hell out of my lab. He keeps sliding over to my computer to look at what I’m doing and reading over my shoulder, and it’s really pissing me off. ARGGGGHHHH. He stinks like cigarettes, too. Everything I do on the computer is the most amazing thing in the world to him and he has to talk to me to point out that I’m doing something good. Yikes.
edit: Okay, the guy just left, and he farted on his way out. F’ing sick, man.

When I got to school today, I was hoping to print Michelle. I didn’t want to waste my time on my mom’s printer, because it doesn’t do a good job. I was next in line to use it and it ran out of yellow. Talk about suck. So I just didn’t show anything today. Big whoop. I’ll probably just set up the old printer to print out for Wednesday. I dunno.

Whatever. I’m bored. Gimme something to do.
