New Year’s Resolution

I vow to post at least once a week for the rest of the future.

So, last Saturday I made a New Years resolution to “Finish this entire strawberry Fanta”. Surely this task would tax the minds and bodies of any normal human being. So of course I have failed. Looking back, this task was insurmountable. I am making a new new years resolution, to eat the following three flavors of jelly bean:

Success! Take that New Years!

In other news, I’m sure you all already know the following news, but here it is just in case. Twenty years ago tomorrow something very special happened. In order to celebrate that, Mandy and I are planning a get together at Yoshi’s (surprise Yoshi!) tomorrow after work. We’re bringing all 8 seasons and will be watching the best episodes. So come on by if you are a fan of science, chicken vindaloos, double polaroids, toast, little robots that go “miniminiminimini”, or Gelfs. Board games will be provided upon request.

But now, my Valentines day present has finished downloading. Time to try out the new map in Team Fortress 2.

Oh yes, one more thing.

Awesome!

Thanks to overtime’s $160 and newegg, within 3 buisiness days I will have over 1.5 Terabytes of usable storage inside my computer. I say usable because hard drives always lie about how much space they have. They say 1gb, but they really mean 1,000,000,000 bytes. In other words, my computer will have 1,647gb of real storage, but 1,770gb of advertised storage.

To answer your next question: No, It’s not porn. I don’t like deleting things, and I plan on downloading every episode of Doctor Who ever made, ever. I already have all of Tom Baker (58gb) and I’ll probably work on the earlier doctors next… once my seeding ratio on TheBox has gone above 0.8. That means I’ll need to have uploaded 80% of what I have downloaded by the 11th, i.e. 66gb by Monday – only 3.8gb to go!

In other news I have work tomorrow, probably until 6, but still have plans to attend gamenight on both nights.

Any board game requests?
