I don’t see myself changing services, but…

…that “Slacker” thing looks like fun.  I can’t see them outdoing Sirius, because I primarily have it for talk and specific music choices, but I will be looking at it on a regular basis.
They need to REALLY work on the depth of their playlists.  It’s way too blah for me right now, but it could become [...]

Hey Mickey! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if…

…I ended up winning this?

I was there from Six

Command and Conquer is coming back, baybee!
C&C3 comes out at the end of next month, and we’ve got wonderful cheesy FMV goodness.  Michael Ironside, Boomer and Six from BSG, Sawyer from Lost…  and Kane!!!  I’ve never spent that much time playing in the C&C universe, but after trying the demo I think I might be [...]

T-Minus 4 Days

I think I’m coming down with a major cold.  More news as it develops.

Ever since education myself about the benefits of not using a MMORPG autorenewal plan, I’ve yet to have to put that into practice.  This changes in about two hours when my time runs out for WoW.  And you know what?  I’m not [...]

T-Minus 13 Days

WoW Level: 62, with enchanting at 289.  I want to get to level 300, dammit!  A few more instance runs will make a big difference.  That’s after watching Ugly Betty and 30 Rock.  I really need to get the Roomie hooked on 30 Rock.  He loved Arrested Development, so I’d think he would like 30.
Tried [...]

And the reconstruction begins

I was about asleep, and it hit me that I had a CD with the drivers I needed for my Motherboard.  So like an idiot, I got out of bed and started installing software.  I don’t know why I slept until 6:30…
It never goes as smoothly as you think, and I lost most of my [...]

Computer AARGH!

Ah, the joys of reinstalling Windows…
Actually, should I just go and get Vista at this point?  Might as well.
I’m reinstalling Windows because my PC had been running sluggishly for quite some time now, and I was sick of it.  Most of the software can be reinstalled, most of the programs aren’t that important, and there’s [...]

Weekend Roundup

Two weeks left to go.  Two weeks, two weekends, two whatever…  the simple fact that I need to make it to a week from Saturday makes me very happy, but knowing that I’m so close to the end makes the side-effects so much worse.  I want it done!  I want it over.  Now!  You’d think [...]

Laptop Adventures Day 3

How have I lived without a laptop before?
Okay, I haven’t fallen that far down the rabbit hole but it’s been a wonderful addition to my home office…  or what passes for my home office right now.  (Note to self: fix home office setup so it can be an adequate study area when school starts.  And [...]

My New Baby!

The new laptop arrived in the mail today.  All productivity went flying out the window.  Go figure.
My college transcript arrived in the mail as well, but now I’ve got to take the time to finish the application.  Or at least try to finish it if I can remember the password I used to apply!
Seriously, I’ve [...]
