Whats I"m Up To

Bah I wish my father would just use the computer he already bought himself for christmas, the one he's been using should be fine. But its not, he has been using WindowsME since he got it, and it drove him crazy, cause ME is a god aweful peiece of crap. So he has some trouble getting online and finally decides to do a wipe and install WindowsXP over clean onto the drive. He does so, doesn't fic his problem. I get him a new ethernet card, the thing goes goofy, he sends it to Gateway, apparently he had corrupt memory. Ok they fixed it and his ethernet card, and he's on a clean install of XP again. Only now we find out that the gave him the NTFS file system as opposed to FAT32 which he was using, so now all his old files he saved are practically useless, and now he is having trouble buring CDs. And every night I get a new session of him asking me questions I can't possibly answer, and I have to go look for stuff online for him. Just seems like nothing is working out for him with this system. So yeah I want him to just open the freakin one he got himself for christmas, since he's gonna be using it in a month or so anyhow, to stop his bellyaching. I just don't want him to start going crazy again and yelling at the computer, so I can have some peace.

Ah its wednesday again, if you know my schedule, then you know whats thats like, especially when I actually go to all my classes. Just sitting here before the teacher starts teaching in my Programming and Logic 2 class. Just removed the Caps Lock to add it to my collection, since it was giving me guff. From looking at the release list for todays comics, looks to be a light week, 4 or 5 comics for me and a magazine, and enough money leftover to get me some gas. I've been cleanng my room for the past few days, found my "My Other Car Is a Transformer" sticker, so it shall soon find a home in my back window, and I've got most of my DVD's and Videos organized now. Its only a matter of time before I venture in to the closet. That's all for now time to get some comics. Later

Hi everybody how's it goin. Lets see I got about 40 mins before I have to go to work, and I'm not even sure what I'm gonna talk about. Well since its on the top of my mind I'll mention the movie "Shoulin Soccer" I watched last night, it was oodles of fun. Movie was about a struggling Martial Artist who gathers his old buddies who he learned Kung Fu with, and they try to form a soccer team using their Kung Fu to give them an advantage. So its like using Crouching Tiger/Matrix fight moves to play soccer, its fun to watch. Its like Mighty Ducks, but its soccer and they use nifty martial arts. While I was watching it the subtitles bugged me because, they were just in basic directly translated english. But you see the subtitle file is separate, so I'm going through it, and writing a better script :-). Which is kind of nifty. But time consuming. Also I'm nearly done updating and converting the links page to PHP, then i can start converting the rest, which won't take quite as long, cause the rest all have the same style, only the links page is really different.

My friend Jasmine from New Paltz just IMed me, and invited me to a Halloween Party up there, even said they'd pick me up. Told her I had to work...she asked me to call in sick. Told her its important I'm here with my girlfriend cause its her favorite Holiday...she said bring her along. My girlfriend is having her own party. I just feel bad turning her down but...yeah its really impossible. Not to mention my parents would flip out, they are afraid of me doing anything on Halloween cause they say "People are crazy on that day". Cause I really want to visit her some time, but I just can't get away, between work which i can't sacrifice cause i need the money, and whenever I realize that I had a good chance and some free time to do go and visit, its always too late.I mean this is 2nd school year since I left. Most of the people who I knew prolly forgot me, and Jasmine was always a really good friend and I miss her, just wish I had a life that had more free time. not to mention the fact if I was to go up there, for even a day. I'd have to have to...not have work, my parents would prolly have to not be home cause they prolly wouldn't want me to go, and I'd have to have enough spare money for gas and spending.

But it seems another option has arrised, it seems we are going to try and make plans to meet here in Troy Me, Cat, and Jas will all go out to Bob's and stuff. I just realized it's been about 2 years since the infamous Troy Road Trip (the night the clocks went back), and the New Paltz Halloween Party. So that should be interesting.
