Sometimes you burn a bridge. Other times you have to napalm it

I really wish I could switch entirely over to gentoo. It would be more awesomer. As long as the wireless is working I'm good, and it seems a little faster to me. I'm not sure. It's fun to set things up so they're all worky and junk.

So there was this march or something going down the street right outside my bedroom window. They were very loudly protesting against violence. Very, Very Loudly. Outside my window. I think I'm going to lead a march against very annoying marches.

My oldest sister is very very happy.

/me picks up phone
brooke: Hi Gin
ginni: Hey Brookie... guess what?
brooke: what?
rick: She said yes!
brooke: ayeeeee!

So my sister is getting married some time in december, and she's extremely happy, and I'm extremely happy for her. Is exciting.

Today (and tomorrow as well?) is voting day on campus. There were many people in red square holding up signs that said "Vote for Sweeney. Ask me why" So I looked for the one who looked crazy enough to run for student gov't, and sure enough, he introduced himself as Riley Sweeney. When he got done telling me "why", I told him I was voting for him because his name was cooler. He said "woot, crazy irishman!"

My labs for microprocessors don't take very long... and the prof split the most recent one up into two lab times, so 4 hours for one lab. I knew I could do it in an hour, so I skipped on monday, went in today and finished it, then left. There were still about 5 people working on it when I left. I think they were just finishing up though, and they probably left an hour early on monday.

Oh my.

You know your standards have gone down when you're willing to listen to a song entitled "since u been gone."

Which is worse? The fact that I have it, or the fact that I enjoy it?

!!!!

I finally figured out what that freakin' annoying noise that's been following me around is.

First, I only heard it in my apartment. I couldn't figure out what it was, but it was obviously made by some kind of electronic thing. It was always short, and soft, and it was impossible to tell where it was coming from. Then it started happening in class as well, so I assumed it was my phone. But I would look at my phone when it happened... and there didn't seem to be anything it would be notifying me of. It also didn't sound at all like any of my ring tones or anything, and it would happen even if the phone was on silent mode.

So it happened today while I was in a lab with like 6 people and everything was really quiet. So they all looked up and looked around, and I told them of my plight. Turns out it happened to one of them before as well. Apparently the alarm on my ipod was set.

The Noise will never harass me again! MUHAHA

Bunny has been resurrected

I think I'll call him Jesus. Then again, maybe not.

For those of you who are confused, I came home saturday night/sunday morning and all the lights were off (as is the usual status when I come home) and as I was walking from the living room into my bedroom I stepped on something and heard it crunch. I turned the lights on to find a little trail of three chalk bunnies going from the front door to my bedroom, and under my pillow was a chocolate bunny. <3 lyz and nathan.

They also left some easter eggs hiding around my apartment... apparently there's still one I haven't found. :)

I fix0red kit's laptop today... just replacing the HD and reinstalling windows.

Also, I spent almost two hours reading about the terrible ballsack conundrum, when I really needed to be either finishing a program or sleeping. Sleeping would have been nice, especially since I've had a headache since 5 that refuses to go away.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel less like bad and more like yay.

ZOMG I KILLED A BUNNY

I STEPPED ON IT AND BROKE ITS NECK!

Happy Easter to you, too.

Intriguing.

Apparently firefox is better at resizing than photoshop CS. Photoshop was making it look icky (the image on my desktop in that screenshot) and you know how firefox resizes large images so they fit in your window? Yeah... I resized my firefox window until the image was the right size, then took a screenshot (the image on the right there). I was very amused by the whole process.

Of course... I don't know that I can really say firefox is "better" at it... it just looks much better in this particular case.

I ran into some interesting names at work today. My favorites were:

Wackamanayake
Scheidt
Bonnie Hood
Evan Dickinson (I would totally ALWAYS sign everything as "E. Dickinson")

Then when I was filing Scheidt, I noticed there was already a Schaadt.

Edit: I figured out the resizing thing. Turns out I was being stupid (as I kind of suspected...) Oh wellz.

I'm not (as) angry with blogger anymore

Brian got me croissants. He is my favorite evar.

They let me give blood finally. It was a close thing though.

I went to seattle on Monday to see my aunt, who was at Swedish having a mastectomy. Sharon was the awesomest ever, because she offered to drive me down (gas be cheaper than greyhound, yarr.) It was really good to be able to see her, and all the reports are good, so that's happy.

However, when I got back at 11, I still had a program to write. So I was up until 3ish, which became a problem when I tried to get up at 7:15. I actually got up at about 7:47, showered in 3 minutes, dressed in 3, spent about 3 trying to figure out where and who I was, and got to class at 8:03 or so. This process was repeated this morning, only I went to bed at 11 and woke up at 7:44.

Is it strange that the exact time that I wake up is burned into my brain every morning? I know exactly what time I got up every day this week. I think I'm kind of obsessed with time in the morning.

New stalker tool! Great for use with untrusted significant others!

The laser keyboard is awesome too, but it looks like it would work terribly. It's the kind of thing I wouldn't buy unless I could play with it first.

GRRRR - reposted

I hate blogger. So much. Thus this entry is not a real entry. I'm so switching. I don't really care what to.

Brian and I have made great steps in our relationship. Hackers has been watched, 4th weapons have been acquired in dynasty warriors (all but one), and ... yeah, that was about it.

I received a new debit card in the mail yesterday, with a letter saying, essentially, that they think my debit card number has been compromised, and that I should destroy the old one completely and check all the places that might charge that card regularly. I'm trying to decide whether to be pleased because WaMu is being careful or upset because my card number might be out there. As soon as blogger is fixed (grrr) I'll have to make this a real post, so that y'all can comment and tell me whether or not visa and mastercard are the same thing...

Yarr

I had an idea. Check it out and tell me what you think. Would you buy it? Would you buy it if it were changed in some way? (bigger font, smaller font, different font, different colors, different line, different article of clothing, all of the above...) Let me know.

I'm pretty boring lately. Hence lack of updates. Just working, going to school.... working, going to school... oh, and eating.

Speaking of eating! If you live in bellingham and have time between 12 and 3 to eat lunch, every day except thursday, you should stop by my apartment some time for said lunch. I will be home. If you don't know how to get to my apartment, ask :D

Only other thing worth mentioning - my church is starting a brand new middle school youth group, and I'm in charge of games. So for about half an hour... lots of children will do whatever I tell them to.

MUHAHAHAHA.
