Computer Problems

My laptop’s power brick died yesterday. I wish the part that had died was the one that plugged into the wall and I had like three copies of in the house…but it’s alright. I was the sucker that bought the extended warranty, and it’s actually managed to work out! Cost of the warranty was less than the power cable so it’s paid for itself, now I just gotta go without my computer till Friday…

Music Discussion

So I was sitting on the bus to go home when I had the idea for this back-and-forth between these two characters, one a prominent right-wing gay-basher type and his friend-of-sorts, who I will call A and B respectively:

B: I’m surprised to find that you like house music, since house – and especially the funky house you listen to – pretty much descends thematically from disco which, despite being co-opted by the mainstream in outings like Saturday Night Fever and the Bee Gees, was primary oriented towards gay nightclubs and patrons.

A: And your point is…?

B: You like music for fags, in your own words.

Sleep-Dep Theatre 2

I dreamed this Friday morning, but hadn’t gotten around to posting it until now. Anyway:

I had this dream where the volcano in Iceland that erupted was actually some dying god that somehow controlled all the world’s adults. I don’t remember how I found this out but me and a friend decided we had to save this god and save the world. Oh, before I forget – the god was an engine of some sort that had either spun a bearing or had run out of oil or something. Anyway, we were in a mall in Canada when the volcano’s ash cloud started to look like a sinister figure in a cape trying to envelop the planet. Combined with this crazy person telling us how the world was ending, we managed to figure it out and went to help (me and my friend), but for some reason as we were trying to escape from the mall we were being chased by some feds and mall security. Anyway, my friend managed to get out without a hitch and I got caught but managed to escape from the mall into this mega-nasty snowstorm, visibility was less than five feet. I don’t remember how I knew to get to where I needed to go, but I remember it was hell getting there. Anyway, when I got there, I met up with my friend again and some other people who had figured out what was going on and were trying to figure out this puzzle where they had a really ornate screw and on the wall there was this weird arrangement of squares with the letters “TF” combined in the middle. Somehow, we figured out that the screw was really a MacGuffin and you only needed to write in the squares on the wall which you could’ve done with chalk. Anyway, once we figured out one word part of the wall fell away to reveal this giant crossword puzzle that we would have to solve to save the god. There was some rule like “all crossword answers are .com domains”, but that rule was a lie because the last clue was a line from the song “On The Road Again”. Finally we solved it and saved the adults, but somewhere there was this “Congratulations” screen which showed us our time and other stats and I realized that it was all just one big ARG.

Did You Know…

…that the AJC Auto Show was last week? I didn’t until Thursday, I was wondering when it would happen – there wasn’t any sort of advertising until Friday. Anyway, I went on Saturday. Didn’t see that many cars I would want to buy if I had the money, including the Lexus LF-A. I did, however, see quite a few cars that make me want to join whatever company loads them into the convention center. Back to things I could drive, I tried the Ford Raptor Challenge sim again but Couldn’t do better than 63 seconds; I also drove the Ford Taurus SHO sim, which had the worst physics in any racing game I have ever played – and I’ve played both early Ridge Racers and Sega GT 2002. I managed to set the best time, but only after asking the guy who set the original best time how he did it and him telling me to not break for any corners.

I’m still pissed about not breaking 60 seconds in the Raptor sim, though.

Back to the show – not many interesting cars, cars I would thinking about test driving weren’t out yet, and the Ford robot was nowhere near sarcastic enough. Oh well, maybe next year.

Winter Wonderland

I decided to tag along with some college acquaintances and head off to Agnes Scott College today since my school was closed due to imaginary snow. But as we get there, it starts snowing. 30 minutes pass, and everything’s covered in snow. I gotta tell ya, when I originally thought of college and a college campus, it was basically what I saw today; the whole centuries-old-buildings, everything-coated-in-snow-in-the-winter type look really shouts “academia” to me.

Anyway, despite what my acquaintances said, there weren’t that many “mug hos” at the school.

School’s Closed

Due to the threat of snow, the school’s shut down. Gotta leave to get something to eat and work on my paper. I guess Lenox, I got nothing better to do…besides the paper, of course.

Grammys

I caught the tail end of the Grammys last night, and I kinda wish I hadn’t. I mean, partly because the fact that it only awards popular music instead of good music (and yes, I realize I’m being somewhat of a hypocritical asshole saying that both popular music isn’t good and good music can’t be popular), but mostly because when Taylor Swift won the Album Of The Year Grammy, nobody pulled a Kanye. SERIOUSLY – perfect setup. I was praying for it.

PS I’m listening to Slimm Calhoun right now, you can’t say I only like good music.

Hardly Working

I’ll just summarize the past couple days since I’ve got to be getting on to class: I’m getting in to rock climbing, and got belay certified on Monday. I entered a poker tournament that got held last night and got eighth out of 40, as high as I got when I played at Mudd. However, most importantly I managed to fall into a position working IT for the Finance Society here. I say it’s most important because I was led to believe that it would be paid, and I could really use some spending money since I haven’t heard back about a gig laying Cat5. Anyway, time to go to class.
