Making Waves

The difference might not be there in the video, but it is.. and my room feels 'cleaner'. I did a bit of dusting (minus the duster), vacuuming and rearranging. Behold, the half-assed job.

No one can resist the awesomeness of the Pokerap and my favourite of all Pokemon theme songs - Pokemon: The Johto Journeys.

At 2 minutes, I broke my keyboard desk thing (accident). The wheel that it rests on just broke.. its plastic, so I couldn't do much about it. It still slides out though. Cleaning out my tower was a bitch. So much dust. Even after cleaning it, I still got a bit of artifacts on my screen. I faced the fan in my room into the tower and it sort of worked.

Also... walking to the station today, I almost got stopped by those dudes who ask you to sign up to stuff.

Dude: Hey buddy have you heard....
Me: (interrupting, whilst continuing to walk away) I'm not 21!
Dude: Oh you're not 21 yet? Cya later.

Thankyou.

Then coming home from getting a haircut, waiting for the bus at Blacktown station, these Red Bull girls were giving away free Red Bull.. at Blacktown.. I know right. So they were moving from bus stop to bus stop (since its at the bus station/bay place) and this bogan dude 3 bus stops down notices them giving away free drinks and so he yells "come over here, bitches! /bogan laugh". I'd imagine a bogan laugh to be spelt HIYHAHAHAHEHUA. Anyway, they came over my way, told them I got a haircut, told me they liked it, then gave me my free Red Bull. Why couldn't it have been Vitamin Water?

Phase 5001: Decisions and the compu-nerd.

In the case of Woody or Buzz Lightyear - I chose Woody. Won't ever changeee.

Anyway, I've been looking at upgrading my current computer. I looked online and it appears that most people upgrade within 2-3 years. Criteria depends, but most do it for games, application workload, speed etc. How bout all of the above? Originally I wanted a new video card, as my current one seems to be turning to crap - as if its starting to overheat. But then if I upgrade that, everything else needs to be upgraded. Newer, faster, quicker response time needed, therefore new CPU, therefore.. new motherboard, therefore, new power supply, therefore, new case. My current recommended wishlist:

Mid-Range Multi-purpose Build:

CPU: Intel Core i5 750 $268
Motherboard: Gigabyte P55-UD3 $154
RAM: G.Skill 4GB DDR3-1333 $109 (maybe DDR2)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB $104 or Seagate Barracuda 500GB $62
GPU: HIS 1GB ATI Radeon HD4890 $239
Case: Lian Li Lancool PC-K60 $125 or the Antec 300 $99
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 500W $103

= ~$1,000

Hopefully it'll last 5 years. And if that's "Mid-Range".. then what the hells mine? Super Low-range?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86GHz (stock, not OC'ed)
2GB DDR2 RAM
300GB HDD
256MB 7600GT
Antec Sonata II Silent ATX Case

The place where I got my current computer has prices that exceed those prices by $100 for some. Pricey! MSY ftw.

But seriously, running the system idle, with no applications eats over 50% of my RAM already, and the geek inside me wants to try Modern Warfare 2 on something that looks decent. Early Christmas? :(

Sleeping on a bear (yes he was real...).

Leopard Seals love to show off.

Okay.. this emu wouldn't leave us alone.. so.. I just let it peck away.

I wish Brownie could do tricks like that. I'll teach him one day.

I Can't Help It

You know we kill it teamed up. I'm as myself as I can be when you're in the air. It's comfortable here.

New banner. Slightly changed. Mehhh. "SEND THE SMS THIS WEEK". LOL. Okay, enough being silly. You can make out some of it.

Just got home from some intense programming with Jasmine, the screamer of unnecessary things on the train. It was intense, that she started to cry. I really hope I get it done. :( Anyway, enough about uni because I dread that word.

A Night in Fantasia 09 is in just over 2 weeks. Arghh I'm excited for it! Play! A Videogame Symphony was bloody amazing. It literally sent shivers up my spine to hear such awesomeness rolled into one. Looking forward to hearing the epic MGS score again, on top of other ones I'm looking forward to. :)

Eminence = win.

----------------------------------------

Also, lately I've begun a Pokemon project with Mel. This involves us attempting to draw the original 150 Pokemon. I think its quite fun, I love her drawings, they're so good. And well.. mine are just a pile of burning unicorn ass hair.

Also, I tried this for the first time, its a bamboo charcoal bun. It was tasty. in the sense that I just imagined it was something else and not a giant lump of black/burnt peanut-looking bread.

kthxcry(?)

Chinese Hickey Doctor at the Garden Buffet

Random banner is random. I think every few days (ok who am I kidding, maybe weeks) more of the banner will be lifted open. Hahaha. Or not. Anyway... since it was suggested we blog about it.. here is my take on last Thursday...

----

Last Thursday was the day another teenager (term used loosely) bit the dust and found themselves in the ranks of the 20 year olds. It never actually hits you, and you do feel a degree of denial because if anything, the teenager years define the most awesome times of your life (minus the whole school thing). It was Lenny's 20th birthday.

Anyway, the day start at around 10:00am when Lenny came to pick me up to go to Blacktown station. I shouted him his train ticket (bar 60c) and then we preceeded to catch the train to Wynyard. We had some Taboo games for the whole trip, and along the way Jasmine calls to ask about Lennys present. I think i did a pretty good job of trying to keep the convo subject subtle since Lenny was sitting right next to me. We reached Wynyard to meet up with Jasmine, then business Tim came shortly after from work.

For lunch we ate at the Altitude Restaurant at the Shangri La Hotel. The actual restaurant was situated on the 36th floor, which was actually the highest you could go and the view was ama-za-zing. The food was equally as nice. They had a range of seafood and meats as well as chocolate fondu and other assorted desserts that I dug my teeth into. During the meal, I must've ate the most mushroom I've ever eaten in one go. Took 1 glass of water to wash it down but it was worth it.

Walking to Botannical Gardens via Opera House way!

Towards the end of the lunch, we handed over his present from General Pants then took some photos. The restaurant staff also came out with a little surprise of their own and brought out two cupcakes with candles and sang happy birthday. That was not planned either, but they must've heard us sing happy birthday and so decided to bring that out. Would've been funny if we were singing that for fun on another day, and they came out to sing that. :] lol

After that we headed to Botanic Gardens to go and relax for a bit before leaving. Said goodbye to Tim at central then headed back to Jasmines house for some strawberry cheesecake. It was delicious/scrumdidlyumptious. Got dropped home after that and finished off my assignment.

11 pages of awesomeness, and 1 day of celebration.

kthxhai(2u)
