Well, I guess I like to get drunk and fuck with my computer.

But I hate when it's "out of commission" like when I'm converting video. I make it a rule not to touch the thing when it's converting video and the 1-3 hours that it takes is like hell when there are oh, so many other CPU-Intensive things I could be doing.

I heard some "Death from Above 1979" the other day. It's half noise and half rocking-ass. Of course, I like the rocking-ass part. I bought (tee-hee) thier album.

I've always been a fan of AtomFilms.com, but yesterday I signed up for their Hi-Def service and it's pretty cool cuz it forces me to watch stuff I don't normally watch, as it only offers certain items in Hi-Def. It sends you new stuff every 2 weeks but takes up like a GB of two of HardDrive space. That's not much to some but I've always got around 20 GB of stuff waiting to be burned to DVD, half of THAT just stuff I recorded from Comedy Central "FNSU." Then there's all the background-bandwidth that it takes up. Yeah, I can't figure out how to burn the AtomFilms-HiDef stuff to DVD cuz I haven't found the folder that it saves the (probably proprietary) movies to. I've seen some pretty awesome stuff so far, none of which I'd have seen if this HiDef service wasn't free.

I'd like a PSP but I'm not spazzin. It's just the type of thing I need.. to waste money on. But dude, it's the coolest game system and I like to have a little thingy with a screen to show off my pics and stuff on. And I know how to convert movies to work on the PSP but it takes a hefty chunk o' cash just to afford a memory card big enough to hold all your crap. Compress a DVD to fit on.. say, a 512MB card and I don't even wanna know how much a 512MB "Sony Pro Duo Memory Stick" costs.

I was supposed to start a new job Thursday morning, but I'm still sick with this cold. It awful. I've lost my voice and my whooping cough has become a wheezing cough. Basically, all that's left of the 'cold' is a sore throat and a mild cough but I can't work the cookline at a Waffle House-type place with even a mild cough. It's not cool when everyone can see you cooking thier food and uncontrollably wheezing over it.
