Well, I went and gave Jason a hand doing sound editing and foley work today. It was kinda fun. Sitting in a studio, reading line and making noise with various things. But, now that’s over with and I’m looking for something to eat. I’m rather hungry but I don’t have much in the house. Kind of odd considering I just went grocery shopping. Oh well. I think I have some frozen chicken nuggets that are calling out to me.

I’d just like to mention something else that’s rather random. I was hoping to upgrade to Windows XP with my new system, it seemed to make sense at the time and there’s really no reason why I shouldn’t. XP Pro is built on Win 2000 code so it should be stable enough. And if I turn off EVERY annoying little “eye-candy” feature it has it might almost be tolerable. But then I looked into how much it was going to be to buy a copy. For starters, $150 for an OEM version is rediculous. I won’t even mention my opinion on a full version costing $300. What the fuck? I like to have actual copies of my operating systems. Windows 2000 has been the only exception and even then the version I have is mostly-legal, it being a full version without a serial number. I wanted to actually have a legit copy of XP but now I see that it’s not going to happen. I’m not going to pay an OEM to install it for me and I’m certainly not going to pay $300 for a copy in a box. That price tag is more money than I’m going to pay for the hard drive it would be on. I think the HD is a little bit more important than the OS. If Microsoft would like to know why 1 in 4 copies of their OS are pirated (actual number) than they have to look no further than their own marketing department. Screw that.

I’m done now. Where are those chicken nuggets???

I’m having a bit of a “funky” weekend mental meltdown I thinks.

Damnit. If I had money, I’d be buying half of the inventory of Kennethcole.com right about now. It’s kind of sad that my clothing styles of choice have elevated to the point where I can’t afford them. Poop. At least I have a Kenneth Cole watch and sunglasses. Wow, that sounds very materialistic. Maybe I’m having a self-centered afternoon. Or maybe I just want nice things. Either way.

Damn, it’s Thursday already. The

Damn, it’s Thursday already. The critique in photo class went well, everyone seemed to like my stuff and I even got a few compliments on my “style” which never happened before. Go me! Other than that there’s not much going on. I’ve got to start shooting slide film (aka: “chromes”) this weekend for my next assignment. I’ve also got to finish a three page comic and do research on a term paper topic. I hate midterms.

In other news, since Lauren and I were both busy on Tuesday, we’ve decided to “celebrate” our aniversary tonight. I’m cooking my famous “Hong Kong Spicy Chicken” with rice. I also picked up a nice bottle of ’97 chardoney from the liquior store.

Tomorrow Lauren has a field trip to go to so I’ll probably hang out here and shoot a few rolls of film. Maybe I might have time to order computer parts too. It’s really sad that I don’t even have time to order the parts, let alone put them together and enjoy a new system. I don’t want to wait till I get home so I’ll probably end up doing soon. It just seems like one more “good thing” has turned into a hassle. What the heck.

Oh, and did I mention the hippies? There were friggin hippies everywhere! “Wide Spread Panic” a sucky hippy band was playing at the Civic Center and an entire nation of dirty, stinky, stupid people flooded into town. I was asked 3 times if I had any pot. Three!!! And it was over a period of no more than 15 minutes. I hate hippies. I loath hippies. There is no lower form of human being than a fucking hippy. ARG! But they’re gone now, and they’ve taken their “stink” with them. So, I can’t really complain. I think I hate hippies even more than I hate Nazi’s, and that’s a tough thing to do, especially after 20 years of video games to back me up. Is it just me, or are Nazi’s the bad guy in nearly every video game? At least in a good percentage. Whatever.

I’m going to go cook dinner now. Cheers.
