I'm going to be visiting my parents down in Iowa from tomorrow (the 26th) until April 3rd. I'll have internet access, but will probably not be visiting porn sites.

Scored my first five star rating in Guitar Hero just now. Smoke on the Water (easy difficulty), with 99601 points, a 285 note streak, and 98% of the notes hit. Damn does that feel good.

Edit: And my second, a first time five star on Jimi Hendrix's song "Spanish Castle Magic" (also on easy), 53512 points, 177 note streak and 98% notes hit. Whee.

I'm a bath man at heart. I used to have this utter hatred for taking showers, I think both because the showers I'd first experienced had water pressure to the point where it was like they were taking strips out of your flesh, and because I was deathly afraid of getting water in my eyes. Especially soapy water. But when I moved into my current...

I haven't had oatmeal in ages, but Target was displaying their "Archer Farms" brand products up front. And one of those products was a box of 8 packets of instant oatmeal. Ginger Cranberry with Walnuts. And it sounded good, so I picked one up.

I finally got around to having some today. Doesn't make much oatmeal, admittedly, but it's really, really good not much oatmeal....

I was out until two AM hanging out with friends. I get home to an empty house, and figure I'll spend an hour or so on the computer and then go to bed so I can get up at 10 and go to work way earlier than I should have to if the busses didn't run so fucking rarely on Sundays. 20 minutes later, the...

I'd almost forgotten how much I hate snow. The last couple of winters here have been quite mild and almost entirely snow-free. When we did get snow, it was an inch or two and barely even registered as an annoyance. (Except when falling - unlike rain, it's nigh impossible to shelter from falling snow while waiting for the bus.) And then all of a sudden...

The computer parts I ordered arrived, and my friend Eddy and I set about installing them. Problem is, when we were done and took the computer back into the computer room to test it out....it didn't turn on. And when I say it didn't turn on I mean nothing whatsoever occurred. No fan noises, no beeps, no nothing. We tried a few dozen different things...

So. Primus.

What the fuck?

So as I may have said, I'm looking for full-time employment right now. Which is unpleasant, to say the least. I've been poking around on Monster.com, but I seriously need to expand my searching because Monster is turning up fuck-all in the way of suitable no-experience-necessary jobs. ('cause I don't got experience. What I have is an associate's degree. Or will at the end of...

Since the NDA has been lifted, I will now brag that I am in the Lord of the Rings Online closed beta. That's all, really. Well, okay, a little about the game. It's probably the prettiest MMO I've played. Lots of gorgeous high-system-req rendering. Game-wise...well, for one thing, I think basing it on Tolkien's work kinda holds it back. I'm not really getting a huge...
