So put your head up to the speakers
This is whats its like to stop talking and finally hear me
Catch up on my daily life is going to be fairly basic and short although it was a good week and a better weekend. During the week I mostly worked late and then did jack shit when I got home due to being tired. However the entire week I was looking forward to Thursday around 3:45. That time finally rolled around and I left work for a nice 3 days. That evening was spent catching up on all the regular household crap that I had neglected: Laundry, putting the bike up for the year, etc. Friday I went and got a hair cut, ran to target etc, before I was supposed to meet a friend for lunch. Turns out my friend ended up in UC but we still managed to get together albeit late for lunch. Then I headed down to Eau Claire where I hadn’t been since February or so. It was really amazing to see just how pregnant Laura is. Then dinner with some friends followed by a great night out at the bars. Lots of old friends, good conversation and fielding the question of “How do you do that?” more then once which made me laugh. I did miss a few people but you get used to that eventually. Saturday was back up here and bum around the cities for a while before I went out to Mortimer’s for a friend’s birthday. Today was mostly lazy although I did take care of some random maintenance stuff before I did dinner with my parents at my place. I think this is where I am supposed to say that I am too old for this shit. But I aint.
So I started messing around with the newest Ubuntu release on my laptop although its strictly live CD at this point. I keep debating about making the switch on that computer as I don’t use it that often and its sort of neat to be able to use all three major operating systems without moving. However that did give me the gumption to finally move my /home partition on this computer to a separate partition. I might be good at computers but I fucked something up and just got back online after a 3.5 hour gap. All well, it seems to be working just peachy now. You live, you learn. Now if only I could decide about my laptop.
In work news, well its work. I am looking forward to a short week this week although I am not sure what I am going to do with it. Hell I am not sure what I am going to do with my thanksgiving still. Have to decide by the end of the day tomorrow although I am leaning towards staying at home. I convinced at least one other person to go out on thanksgiving night yesterday. Otherwise… I am expecting a shit storm tomorrow and will just do what I can to fly under the radar. See if it works I guess.
I have to say I love my 360. Man did Microsoft make the new XBL dumber then shit. I don’t want Mii’s, otherwise I would buy a Wii. I don’t want 40,000 tabs of shit otherwise I would buy a PS3. I just want the menu items I use right there. On the flip side there are some cool parts, it is snappier (somehow) and its not bad. Also, Left 4 dead (the demo at least) is great. Even with the dumb ass computer for help. Might buy it, might not. Depends on who else I can find to play it I guess.
In other news… well at the moment there isn’t much else that’s fit for print as they say. At the very least its just enough. Here’s a video for you although it wasn’t an inspired choice on my part.
