It's not that I haven't been attentive, or I haven't had stuff to say, I just have no more ideas. Its true; the only thing I have left to do, besides gloat about my as of yet not quite finished conquest of checkers, but first, another edition of the Aug 05:15:13 5 AM news.

My goodness. It looks like arsjerm was replaced by a comic, the merits of which are, well, in debate. Needless to say, I don't appreciate 8 pt verdana, because when its translated into a (trademarked) "Way too fucking small you elitist asshole" helvetica, well, you just can't read it. But its ok, because Jerm doesn't usually have anything funny to say, anyway. Apparently, he's going to go hikaru style; either that, or he thinks his hair looks radically different from its actual state.
I've been injured the past few days. It sucks. I think the pitiful state of my person has been reflected by my lack of coverage over at the official Stevens web hangout. Even so, things have been going on, and I guess I can extrapolate on the extents of my knee injury.
Today was a day of video games; starting off with a little Marvel vs. SNK2, then moving on to some crazy cart game, then Tokyo Street Racing, which was a pretty cool rice boy sim, and then after an incident of a football game which I will go into later, there was more MvSNK2 followed by Guilty Gear X. That was cool. Now, to the uncool.
So many one liners, so little to say. I updated the site with the following changes:
(note Heineken was the only Linux machine in our NetBSD lab. Heineken is also my 'default' beer to order at bars that don't specialize, and I've even drunk it on tap at a pub in Amsterdam while watching some footy!)
(note I've changed a number of the titles that were either insanely stupid or totally non-topical -ed)
My yesterday, since 11 hours now seperates my periods of conciousness, was filled with so little, and at the same time it was very satisfying. Every time I have ever tried to stay up the whole night in my life, it has ended in somewhat of a failure. I mean, its possible, and I do it, but for some reason it usually ends up dying sometime around 7 or 8, right when I need to keep going the extra mile. I have no idea why that is, but it just happens. Last night, not trying to stay up the entire night, I easily made it til 12 o clock at which point, upon exiting the shower, I went with Jean Luc, tax, and "the tan man", to bagels on the hudson. I realized that I was pretty broke sometime around 9 that morning, so I had plenty of quarters. Booyaw.
So much of note has happened since I got to work that I could no longer ignore it, lest it be lost for ever, or left to the fairly tough mercies of my vivid imagination.
So it was 9:12, right? I sure am glad that's over with. Moreso than writing my own little thang, I'm more interested in seeing what other people are going to say today. Personally, my biggest message for all of you is the following:
Unlike some people, my site doesn't have a backend that automatically replaces names with links, so I have to write them all out by hand. And as far as I know, this affords me the right to call you names.
Fortunately, although no Azumanga Daioh was released this weekend, 3 episodes of Jungle WA Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu were able to assist my craving with tender, sweet morsels of irrisistable entertainment goodness. This weekend was pretty bland as far as events, but I feel like a far better person for it. Plus I got to actually listen through soundtracks that I dismissed as crappy when In actuality they were awesome.
I guess I can't disappoint my lorde, so I'll have to keep writing updates when I get the chance. My brain could use some rest after the last 2 hours I spent crafting some marvel of ancient computer science.
(note: in this post it appears I'm acting like a stupid little bitch. You've been warned)
The threat that still rings in my ears was delivered with the following verbiage
This is the first new layout since early august; so I guess it hasn't been that long. This is the first layout I've put up on this page that wasn't in my mind minimalist, although jeremy seems to redefine the meeaning of the word routinely.
