FTW now stands for F.E.A.R Totally Wins

Ok, one more:

We're going to need a lot more bleach...

Ok… I lied. One more!

I managed to shoot out all of his blood!

This is Philipe. He’s one of our team’s mascots at work. His brother is not shown here (but the resemblance is uncanny).

Quick survey: List some of the best Doctor Who episodes. Empty Child/Doctor Dances, Girl in the Fireplace, and Blink. I wonder who wrote those… Oh! It’s Steven Moffat. He also wrote Time Crash (the children in need special where the doctor meets Peter Davidson) and Curse of the Fatal Death. Not to mention Jekyll.

Seriously, this man is brilliant; Silence in the Library is shaping up to be brilliant as well, especially the whole River Song business.

Here are some temperatures for comparison:

My old case:
CPU: 37

In other news, Dad and I were looking at different HDTVs and we managed to find one for $100 more than I was originally going to spend but 6 inches larger. By the end of June I will be the proud owner of a 52″ HDTV. I’ll probably have to rearrange the furniture in the living room. I think I’ll be putting the coffee/dining table in storage and putting the couch against that wall. If we need to use a table, we can just put the card table in front of the futon.

All things considered, I am doing quite well in my life and I feel awesome. Physically I feel fantastic, I feel stronger, healthier, and more energetic, in addition to which I can hold my breath for upwards of a minute and a half. Mentally I am happy.

Also of note: I was being flirted with hardcore at work today. A girl from the MP lab who was, unfortunately, not hot; however she did laugh at fart jokes. I must say, it does feel good to know that my attractiveness isn’t limited to just Mandy.

Watching more Jekyll now, it’s excellent. The redhead is hot…

What should I watch after this?

Also, Trader Joe’s Roasted Tomato Salsa is the most fantastic salsa I have ever tasted. It’s not like crappy “Pace” sauce and it has a superb, almost barbecue sauce, aftertaste.

That is all.

Today I woke up and Mark came over to collect a key to Dillon Beach since he may or may not have locked himself out. He also collected Mandy’s old G5 which is just perfect since I just purchased a new computer case. It’s going to be fantastic as I will put all of my old parts back into my old case and just have it sitting over at Mandy’s desk for such things as dedicated servers or long term storage. Perhaps even folding at home or SETI.

After Mark left, I finished up Green Wing (excellent series, it’s interesting seeing Mark Heap’s character’s descent into insanity) then I went over to the ‘rents to do laundry and play GTA and the such. Around 3 I got hungry and went to Burger King with Yoshi, not before stopping off at Trader Joe’s to get some salsa and then (since we were in the area) spending $21 on candy at Powell’s.

At 10 I left and came back here to do some more reading/watching. I finished The Science of Discworld III which means I have officially read every Discworld book that is still in print (that I know of). I’m now going to move back over to my Star Wars books since I’ve neglected them for far too long (there have been at least 2 more books in the series that I am reading and 1 other book on its own that have been published in the time I’ve been away).

I downloaded Unnatural Acts and will probably watch an episode or two before going to bed tonight. Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding FTW. After that I’ll probably switch over to Jekyll until I’ve finished that with a smattering of Young Indiana Jones.

In case you didn’t know, I am the proud owner of a loofah and two (yes two) different scents of body wash. I prefer to inject some whimsy into my bathing experience. One does not know whether the night will bring a mango mandarin madness or a cucumber melon insanity. Truly truly whimsical.

Right, well, I’m off to go watch some Unnatural Acts.

Ta.

What do I do?

I’m not used to this. I got off of work at 5:30 on Friday. I have a 3 day weekend. What do I do?

So far I’ve done the following:

• I’ve played TF2.
• I’ve played GTA4.
• I’ve played On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One.
• I watched the first episode of Jekyll, I enjoyed it. I will continue with the series.
• I watched the first episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, I enjoyed it. I will continue with the series.
• I watched the first 4 episodes of Green Wing, I enjoyed them. I will continue with the series. Mark Heap makes me pee with laughter.
• I had to purchase lunch and dinner. I didn’t enjoy it. I will continue having others pay for my meals.

All in all, I have over 52 hours worth of TV to watch. There isn’t enough time.

I’m not used to having all this time to do stuff. I keep flip flopping from one thing to another. I can’t stay doing one thing for longer than like an hour. I think I need a laptop so I can comfortably watch TV shows in bed… perhaps a series of mirrors would be cheaper.

I also found out today that you can plug your iPod into the Xbox and listen to it in GTA. Fantastic. Furthermore, I am saddened by the lack of Doctor Who, but since I have all these other British shows to watch, I’ll survive until the next episode.

Well I’m off to the store to purchase bread, cheese, salami, and soda.
