I need to sleep

Well, right now I should just be in bed. My mom spent about a half hour looking for a picture of Janet Jackson new album. Now I just want to sleep.

Right now I'm waiting for several packages. My keyboard, a co2 hose and a bottle holder. I soon will be waiting for Halo as well. Yes, I did at one point give up playing Halo, but now I'm going to get back into it. I blame Tallon. I have been playing Warcraft with Tallon for a while, but we get our butts kicked so often we want to play a game that we might have a chance in. That game is Halo.

Now I'm going to bed.

I want to go home

I am really freakin' tired. I just didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I still wish I was in bed. I'm not interested in going to class today, or work for that matter. Unfortunately I have to do both. I guess that's life.

Google turned eight today. It is hard to believe that a huge company like Google is only eight, but it is true. Google has done a lot in eight years, and has done a great job at all of it.

Anyway, I think I'm going to buy Halo on Friday. It will probably take two weeks to get to me, but that's okay. I still can't believe that Warcraft is so hard for me. It should be the same as Starcraft, but its not.

I wish I had an iPod.

It can't really be that hard

Well, I've been trying to get a new screw for paintball gun. I don't want to have to get an allen wrench to put on or take off the stock. As it turns out the screw is metric and thus, much harder to find. I have found the right size and a place to buy it, but they don't exactly work for what I want. Stupid metric.

Actually, I prefer metric. (base 10 rocks!)

I called Apple today to find out when I will freakin' get my keyboard. They said that it would ship on Friday. I have been waiting for weeks for that thing to show up.

Oh, and I now have a remote coil hose and bottle holder for my paintball gun. I don't have to keep my co2 tank on the gun anymore. I will post pictures of that as soon as I get it in the mail.

The pictures are mostly because I can now that I have a digital camera. Not because I feel like the world really needs to know what that looks like.

I also suck at Warcraft. So does Tallon. We can't even double team the easy computer and win. Heck, the easy computer kicks out butt, it isn't even a fair fight. I think we are going to move into the realm of Halo though. That I am very excited about. I love Halo. Actually, I love video games. I think I can control my love this time though.

Okay, that is enough for today, bye.

Halfhearted

As of right now, I'm wasting time. I need to finish my paper for English and I'm still sitting here messing around with the computer. I'm sure I will get it done. I always do.

I did in fact get a remote hose for my paintball gun, I believe that it has some features I wasn't expecting. Hold on for a sec while I check. Yeah, it has an on/off valve and a quick release. I didn't think it was going to have either. I guess that is cool.

Well, I'm at a loss for words and I really need to get to writing. Bye.

I think I want some food

Okay, well I just found out that it may be very affordable for me to run my CO2 from a remote line. The bottle holder is only seven or so dollars. I'm still trying to find a hose that isn't $40. Back when the bottle holder was to expensive I could find a million hoses for cheap, now it is flipped. I guess I'll figure it out some how, or not run remote CO2.

My computer is very dirty. I just noticed that. I probably won't ever clean it back to the bright white, but I may remove the dust sometime.

Oh, and I wrote a paper today. So far all my essays have been on computers in some way. I don't really think I am that much of a nerd, I just know a good bit about them so I can write a decent essay without much effort. I wanted to write about bikes.

Stupid computers... taking over my life.

Well, I'm getting pretty hungry. I think I'm going to call this post quits.

I feel like poo

Okay, first things first. I feel like crap. I didn't want to get up this morning. I don't want to be up now. I really don't want to go to work. None of that matters though because I did get up, I am still up and I have to go to work. At least I'm not pulling two shifts today like I normally would be on Friday.

There are good things to report though. I got my new camera last night. This thing is freakin' awesome. I even enjoy just holding it. I also learned how to audioblog yesterday. It's pretty cool. I actually call my (mobile) blog and it posts an mp3 of that recording. I'm not really sure how useful that is, but it is cool. I guess when I think about it I don't even need a blog at all. Much less a blog that I update with only my cell phone. The real truth is that I just want one. The good thing about blogging is that it is free. I don't have to spend anything to act upon those wants.

Some wants that I harbor do cost a lot of money. For example, I wanted a digital camera. I bought a digital camera, it was expensive. I also want an iPod. I don't have an iPod yet, but I plan on buying one soon. Well, maybe not very soon, but within a few months (I hope).

I also just started a game of chess with Dan. Dan is in Rhode Island. I have heard of people playing games of chess through the mail and I thought that this was a perfect time to try.

Well, I was going to say more, but the ache came back and I'm getting hungry. I think it may be time for me to go. I can assure you that I will be back at some point. But for now, I'm gone.

Waiting sucks.

I was on the phone with Apple for about two hours today. All I had to do was tell them that my keyboard was no longer turning on. How can that take two hours you say? Well I'll tell you, holding. I spent only ten or so minutes talking to a person, the rest was listening to hold music. Holding sucks. On the bright side they are sending me a new keyboard. This process has taken me about two weeks to complete because their customer service center is only open from 6am to 6pm. I was not willing to use 120 minutes of my cell phone just to do that. I am just glad it's over.


Recently I noticed that even though I have made no efforts to update my blog every day, it has happened (for the most part). Even though writing a blurb about my day is pretty easy to do I still feel kinda proud of that. I also have been using my mobile blog much more. I still don't really see how it is vastly different than just writing my thoughts down and posting later, but I like it. I might even like it more than this blog.

Quick thought-
I love iTunes 7.0
I'm getting my new camera today (or tomorrow)
iPhoto still rocks my socks off
I want to play Warcraft

Oh, on the topic of Warcraft, when I play against the computer in multiplayer (easy setting because I'm a n00b) it kicks my butt every time. I can't even fathom how it is able to produce that many units that fast, much less on easy setting. Maybe I'm just that bad.

The other side of it is that Tallon has the same problem. Even if we team up against an easy computer we both get totally owned. I just don't get it.

I kick butt in Starcraft, why is Warcraft so different?

Well, that is enough news for today, I'm going to try to figure out how to fill my car and stomach up with only a five-dollar bill. This will require all my cunning...

The hard drive is 50!

Yup, 50 years ago today the first hard drive was completed. It was the size of two refrigerators and could hold a whopping five megabytes. How cool is that?

Okay, so if anyone does read this, they know that I keep a blog updated only with my cell phone. When I got a new phone the mobile updating thing just stopped. I couldn't figure out why. As it turns out I put a '.' where there should have been a '@'. Oh well.

I still haven't fixed my keyboard. I really hope Apple just tells me to mail it back and they will give me a new one. As much as I love my iBook, I hate always using the built-in keyboard. Now that I bought Warcraft (from Tallon) the problem is magnified. I don't think wanting to comfortably tell my orcs to attack is to much to ask. Maybe it is. I'll find out sometime soon though, I'm calling Apple on Thursday.

Okay, I have stuff to do.

I'm poor.

Well, I did in fact buy a fairly nice digital camera, but I didn't like it. So, today I returned it and bought a new one. A much more expensive new one. I think I doubled the price. Oh, well...

On much more random news, I really am enjoying my English class. I thought I would hate it, but getting the chance to write and have somebody tell me how good of a job I did is pretty cool. I'm not 'can't wait to go to class' excited, but I don't hate it, a vast improvement over every other semester of college.

Okay, back to the camera thing, iPhoto is freakin' awesome. I tried the included software and could tell right away that it was not going to be any good. I then opened iPhoto... and fell in love. It just works in a way that makes sense.

Okay, I think I just ran out of stuff to say.

Who the heck is the 'Gipper'?

Well, I finally did my first full shift at FedEx, it was about all I expected it to be. I think this will be a good job, at least I am really hoping it will be. If not, then at least it is a job.

Oh, here is some disheartening news, my keyboard broke the other day, it just won't turn on. Apple isn't really open when I'm able to call them, so this may take a while to fix. Fortunately my mouse still works and my iBook has a built in keyboard.
/end bad news

Well, it has been a long time since I can say I have really played video games, but recently I have gotten into games made by Blizzard. At first this was only because they were the only cheap games I could get for a Mac, but now I just think they are great. I've been playing Diablo II and Starcraft for a while. If you haven't ever played either, do so. I don't have Warcraft III yet, but soon I will be buying it.

That is about all I have for now because I have an assortment of things to do, I still don't think anyone is reading this, but that is okay.
