Long time no post

If you don't see a posts for a while, it's because I don't have content or time worth a post. Sorry. I can do Twitter-like updates, but no one wants to read that, do they?

Webcomics

Sometimes I wish I could write a webcomic, based on my life and my own crazy ideas, but unfortunately, I have no drawing tablet, and my sketchings look crude at best. It's probably for the better that I need some practice.

The other thing that really bothers me is that's a saturated market, and often, the ones that do get better in terms of artwork often lose focus. The artwork gets better, but wacky comedy is often lost for the dreaded Cerebus Syndrome.

Tough call.

Obsessive Compulsive Posting

Every day for the last week or so, I've been updating this blog daily. No more. This is what drove me in the hole for TWR, and it won't happen again.

Where Games and Retail Meet!

I like retail history. I like video games. But when they combine, they create bad/disappointing things, or worst: a guy set a GameStop on fire inside the Westfield Galleria at Roseville mall.

The website is currently down, but I have saved it for posterity.

DOOM

I didn't do well on a chemistry test, and was especially annoyed at how my professor blamed me for not being prepared.

I don't feel like doing the rest of chemistry homework, however.

Pop-tarts

I recently got in a habit of eating Pop-Tarts again as a snack.

I admit that Pop-Tarts aren't that great, are terrifically unhealthy for you, they are brittle, they kind of get stuck in your throat, but on some days taste really good!

I prefer the Cherry, I kind of like the Hot Fudge Sundae (if they added more icing), Strawberry not so much.

It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

What an idiot

I got a bad grade at some chemistry lab recently, and to this day, "Al" (name changed to protect the guilty), blames our bad grade on my (supposed) incompetence. I remembered just now (nearly a week later) that it was Al who didn't even read the lab or know what we were supposed to do. If I ever to work a lab with Al again, I'll remind him of his own incompetence, and he shouldn't try to attempt to sponge off of me ever again.

Big posts

I always loved making big posts from TWR, but they took to long, weren't worth it, and rarely produced comments. So are they worth it?

EDIT: Oh, and this is the 25th anniversary of the NES! I'm going to play Super Mario Bros. on my computer to celebrate.

Weekends suck

To tell you the truth, I kind of want to do a PHD Comics-type comic strip appearing here (except focusing on undergrads, not grad students). Partially because my weekends are eaten up by homework. I've thankfully cut back on blog visiting (my favorites rarely update anyway--so why bother?), I've gotten suspended from Simtropolis for reasons mostly unknown, but the main reason I'm there is to get help with my BAT, which is also suspended due to college. God knows how long it's been since I touched my Wii: I want to play The Legend of Zelda again (Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time, specifically).

At least I continue working on my abandonware archive, which even then only works if Mediafire decides to not cut uploading when I'm 99% done.

Ubuntu

I decided to try Ubuntu, based on a few suggestions. I didn't install it on my computer, rather, I burned it on a CD-R. A few things:

1) It took an eternity to start up, compared to my Mac. Maybe it was because I boot from a CD, but it still was aggravating.
2) I couldn't set up the Internet. I think I need to check my wireless settings...and it wasn't especially clear-cut.
3) The interface was a bizarre combination of Windows, Mac OS X, and even hints of the old Mac OS. Finder windows resembled both Windows and Mac, there was something that was analogous to the old Mac OS Apple menu, the clock and wireless functions on the top right of the screen (just like a Mac) and minimized windows on the bottom (just like Windows).
4) I decided to hit restart, but restart inadvertently caused the CD to be ejected, putting a grinding halt to Ubuntu's processes, and forcing a hard reset. Whoops.

Chick-fil-A

I love Chick-fil-A, but it's a little disappointing...I mean, six dollars for in-house lemonade, waffle fries, and a chicken sandwich for $6 is pretty high, especially when the waffle fries (one of the best fast food fries EVER) are just mildly warm. :(

New blog

I've been contemplating adding a new blog for some time now. Unlike my old blog, this is far less ambitious, and I plan to chronicle my times at college.

I'll start posting any day now.
