I can't promise to myself that I will write everyday during the week 'cause I just get home way the hell too late. I will work backwords from tonight.

Tonight was cool, I went to the CompUSA party at the bowling ally. Mike G layed down a can of whoop ass on everyone, he very rarely didn't get a strike and he never didn't pick up the spare. In my opinion, not a fun way to bowl at all. I'll tell you how bowling is supposed to be done. You pick up a six pound ball, palm it (cause there ia no way you can get your fingers into those damn holes) and chuck the thing as hard as you can in the general direction of the pins. I got several strikes that way, and any time I had just a couple of pins still up I would just take out a 14 pounder and layith the smack down on the pins.

Speaking of WWF quotes, I made a fun program for the TI-89 called GigaHans. it has a little health and happiness meter along with a little smiley face that react to you talking to it, feeding it, beating it with things, and driving it places. You can save your Hans and continue at a later time, or finish it to the death. It is essentially one over-elaborate inside joke that will proably only remain funny for a short period of time, but what the hell, it's gigahans, I mean c'mon, how awsome is that.

Today I got another hundred bucks in the TAP game along with about forty yesterday, this is the only way to work, I love it.

The last two nights I spent at Joel's house where we basically sat aroung and didn't get anything done. Except we all beat each other up and retained my title as most struck (I'll be a cold day in hell before I say stricken) person in the group.

Yesterday I got woken up at around a quarter to 7 and it's my sister who wants me to take her to oak lawn, which is like a 45 minute drive each way, and I had work at 8:45 so we had to leave like right then, I'm like damn, give some warning next time so I go to sleep before 3 the night before.

I got a new keyboard that has a bunch of shortcut and internet buttons on it which is kinda cool 'cause now I can type a lot faster and not hurt my wrists as much tdue to the much loved wrist-rest that my old keyboard was lacking. I figured out that someone was messing with my winamp output plug-ins and it got set to directsound. Which, in it's current iteration, is really slow and shitty and causes the song to skip every time you load another program, so now it's back to normal and I can use winamp while burning CDs at 8x, mucho gusto, when I get my new Athlon chip and board, I'm gonna have to do simulate a bunch of times and just push my rig to see how far I can go without buffer under-running the drive.

I have an act to read of hamlet and a lab to write up for chem so I need to get at least some of it done before I go to sleep.
