Forumz
God, my brain is fuzzed…. I can’t do it now, but this is my official self-reminder to start digging around in these PC hardware forums Ryan linked me to:
And also, this list of Best Buy clearance games, effective 2/26.
Maybe
Holy shit, these things are expensive. But maybe they’ll save me from injury without grenading themselves in the process.
(Okay, you got me, I just like shiny, expensive things. Sigh… keep looking for bargains, I suppose I will.)
Interview
I’ve done this before, but let’s try this again. Maybe I can get some of you bastards to actually comment here!
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I respond by asking you a couple personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
This time’s questions from Feesh:
1. If money was of no concern, what motorcycle would you just love to have and ride?
Oh, god… well I must say I already have one, my ‘95 Speed Triple. One headlight is better than two, in my opinion! I’d love to have a new model Speed Triple though, in white. Then there’s the obvious… either a ‘busa or a ZX-14… I think they’re both dead sexy, even disregarding the appeal of suicidal horsepower. Other than those… Aprilia superbikes (Falco) were my first two-wheeled love, so I’d love either a Tuono 1000R or an RSV 1000R. BMW R1150GS for dual-sport touring, an old 60s Triumph Bonneville for classic nostalgia… can you tell I can’t pick just one or two? XD Oh, right… an affordable dream would be an SV650, non-S. Naked rules!
2. If you were on death row, what would you request as a last meal?
Guh… tough question, since I love food so much. The classic fried chicken and cornbread combo might work, though it’s a bit simple. My dad’s filet mignon… barbecue ribs dripping with sauce… really good meat loaf… sushi… pho with more hot sauce than broth… an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet might be best, though. I love seafood, I could prolong it quite a bit, and if I’m (un?)lucky, the seafood might kill me first, since I have a highly unpredictable allergy (usually I have no problem, but 1 time in 20 seafood floors me).
3. If you had to be stuck in an elevator with one person you know, who and why?
My girlfriend Alice (”uh-lease”; she’s French) would be the easy answer. Second place goes to my best friend Ryan… not only can he and I figure our way out of just about any situation imaginable, but we are best able to have unending and uproariously entertaining conversations about just about anything… or nothing.
4. What would your super powers be if you were a superhero? [limit three]
Telekinesis! I have recurring dreams about having Force-like powers to grab far-away objects, usually in mundane situations. “Can you get the salt?” “Sure! *vwoom*” Telepathy would be nice, and round it out with your basic super-senses and/or reflexes (maybe it would help me stop crashing!).
5. When you meet someone for the first time, what d’you notice first?
Overall head-appearance, but mostly I notice eyes, unless they’ve got a weird hairstyle or something. Skin clarity is a close second, with hair third. Along with that, one of the first things I notice is where they point their eyes… what they pay attention to.
Gimme Itamz
Now I just need to figure out motherboard and RAM….
XD
A day later, make that 4 out of 7.
Despite how I feel about the brand in general, I may have to buy a Scion xD when it comes out… solely for the name. XD
Typing Through the Pain
Okay, 2 out of 7 ain’t bad. Bonus points if you can guess which 2. =P
Also, Jack in the Box tacos rule, and I suck at chess.
Wednesday Braindump
I’m up, I’m up, after a shitty night of being kept awake by a hurting shoulder. I can’t take a shower until Alice is home from class, because then I would have to leave my palm wound open until she got here to re-bandage it, and that would hurt. I am currently typing with one hand, and boy, do I ever wish I meant that in the dirty sense.
On the chopping block so far for today:
- Get Porsche 944 clutch hydraulics for Brandon (thanks to DirtyD of 530Riders)
- Get Supreme Commander at Fry’s (maybe)
- Online traffic school
- Pay Grassroots Motorsports, Classic Motorsports, and Autoweek
- Beef up the Links page
- Figure out sidebar spacing
- Write some dang posts
I can’t add exercise of any kind to that list, since I can still barely move without agony. I’ve also got research to do on some computer stuff and some political/current events stuff, which will probably bleed its way onto here… that is, if I can make myself actually touch it. I’d rather eat pie and feel sorry for myself. But no, dammit, no more being a pussy!
Links ‘n’ stuff
The Links page now has some links, with more to come. I also made the main column here 50px wider, to accomodate images autoresized by Flickr. Now the sidebar stuff is a little too close to the main content… I’ll fix that when I figure out how. That’s what I get for not actually knowing HTML and CSS!
