Note to self: Don't open twist top bottles of seltzer water anywhere near the computer after carrying them home from QFC. So, as I was toweling off my monitor and anything else with fizzy water all over it, I noticed that a lot of garbage has piled up in my room. I haven't cleaned up since last month, and it's getting pretty gross in here. Tomorrow, I'm going out early in the DAY. ("Day" is the period of time during which the sun is in the sky, a dormant cycle for me.) I'm going to try and meet some people I don't know that work at Microsoft. Beep boop. Take me to your leader. Yesterday I bought a video game magazine with a demo disk on it and ended up spending most of the night playing "Wipeout XL". It's not a particularly thought-provoking game (It's a race. You go fast, on a closed track.) but I could not make myself stop. Since I don't have any sort of 3d accelerator, I had to play in low-chunky-res. I'm thinking I'm going to have a Voodoo 3DFX card, or a Sony Playstation by the end of this month. (voodoovoodoovoodoo.) The rest of the night was spent playing "Dark Colony" which is Command&Conquer again, and "Terracide" which is Descent with 3 guns at once. Terracide really wants a 3d card. So anyway, I was WAY too busy to do anything else, like socialize or write web pages. | |

Kris: "Oh yeah? Why not?" A: "I dunno. I forgot. Why eat?" K: "You know, the self-denial thing CAN go too far." A: "No! I'm going to not breathe air now!" Okay okay, I'll go eat something. I went to buy some sort of caffeine free beverage, and it turned out to have ASPARTAME in it. Aspartame! They didn't even bother to give it a friendly sounding name like Nutra-sweet. They might as well have called it Cancerite. (Cancer-sweet?) (whatever) I didn't do a real good job of cleaning up my monitor. You can see where the seltzer sprayed all over the place. I was a good 4 or 5 feet away, twisting off the cap of my "Clearly Canadian" (...I guess it's Canadian) sparkling water beverage and not paying attention, and then I was suddenly holding on to a garden sprinkler gleefully distributing sparkling water over myself, the monitor, the CPU, my table, and everything else within a few foot radius. Note to self: Read first note to self again just to make sure. |
