Hair Begone

Well. It's official. I shaved my head.

I was trying to grow it out to donate for "Wigs for Kids", a non-profit organization that makes human hair wigs for kids going through chemotherapy. But after my hair hit the bottom of my neck, it just didn't want to grow any longer. And they require a hair length of at least 12 to 14 inches long. So basically, I'm unable to donate. Which sucks, because I think it's a fanastic idea and a great charity to give to.

The League...

... of Extraordinary Gentlemen was absolutely incredible. An awesome movie with great SFX, a really good (although completely implausible) plot, and some fantastic actors.

In other news. I just had my 30th birthday yesterday. My best friend Chuck got me a 25 dollar gift certificate to Waldenooks/Borders. And considering how much I read, it's worth it. And the guys that I play D&D and Werewolf with all chipped in and got me a new DVD player. And it's a really awesome DVD player too. Loads of new software and a couple new DVD's made for a fantastic Birthday. Thanks to all!

I Hate Windows 9x
Went down to a new used bookshop (is that a contradiction in terms?) today and they were having problem with their computer.

I offered to help fix it for them, and 6+ hours late I had no luck upgrading them from Windows 98 to Windows ME. I kept crashing during installation, and it pisses me off! I hate not being able to finish something I start, especially when it comes to computers.

So I'll head back over there tomorrow and try to figure out what happened and try again.

And I'd like to thank them for the "Lord of the Rings" Tapes. and the three game that they game me for payment.

He's Back....

And damn if Terminator 3 didn't completely fricken rock!

I when and saw a midnight showing last night, and the movie is just as good a T2 was. Awesome SFX, good storyline with an awesome pseudo-twist ending.

Ahhhhhhhh....

Air conditioning. I finally got a decent A/C unit from Wally World for $100. And it's actually doing a great job.

Finally. It great, it's cool, and it'll last a few years.... I'm happy :)

Weird Al Rules!

Oh my god, Al's new Poodle Hat album is way too funny. His parody of "Complicated" is SO worth listening to, I was laughing on the floor.

Wicked funny, and worth picking up to listen to.

I finally got it!

Woot!

I just installed a 80GB hard drive on my system. Two 40 gig partitions - plenty of space to capture movies and plenty of room for my pics, mp3's, movies and games.

I must say I thought it was going to be a huge undertaking, but I had it installed, partitioned and formatted in under an hour.

So now I'm off to install some games and try to do some cool video capture now.
