I just got my new laptop battery. Every annoyance I had with my laptop previously was a result of the old battery.
damn, this is leet.

I said I'd take pictures of this "natural event".

lots of pictures

w00t!

On the upside, I've been feeling really good this afternoon. Almost happy, even.
will be here in about half an hour to help me move some stuff, and this weekend, I'm breaking shit at 's place. w00t!

Oh, and zer0, remeber how we were trying to figure out where this quote comes from? Adam Sandler, Happy Gilmore.

The quote is from the Movie, "Happy Gilmore" where Adam Sandler is at the miniature golfing place learning how to put. One of the obstacles is a plastic clown whose mouth blocks the hole and the clown is laughing at Happy because he keeps missing the shot. So Happy finally explodes and hits the clown with his golf club, screaming, "You're gonna die clown!"

"You think that's funny, I don't hear you laughing now!!"

Can you smell what the is cookin?

wow. So I'm driving to work, minding my own business, and I get onto southbound northwestern highway from telegraph, going towards my work. I just get up to highway speed in medium traffic when all a sudden out of nowhere a bunch of white 2x4s are all over the freeway in the left and center lanes. I'm in the left lane, going "fuck, there's no way I can swerve to avoid these", so I just decided to hold the wheel straight and go for it (if I blew a tire, I wanted to be going straight, rather than careening towards traffic, or the stalled vehicle in the breakdown lane).

a bunch of noise, then shit flying everywhere behind me, and a hell of a bumpy ride.

I survived. My car is okay. I don't get it. That should have blown my tires to bits, and it would have if I didn't get the damaged ones I had been driving on for months replaced the other day. At worst, I know I snapped a few that were already damaged by the fall from whereever they came from, and they should have damaged something under the car. Everything was okay.

Anyway, I called 911 and reported all the crap all over the highway. Hopefully they can get it cleaned up before someone with bad tires hits it or something.

I finally dumped the pictures for the last 2 months off my camera. The time and date stamps are messed up, and all the "p101xxx" pictures were taken in the last week or so, everything else was taken on the month and day in the file name.

Some interesting photos I have selected (executive summary of about 50 or so photographs):

Besides the beads, the previous residents used wires twisted together, and even scotch tape, to make the telephone connections in the apartment. This was prevalent in every jack in the apartment.: http://mainframe.timmins.net/~noweb4u/july-02-photos/p7090070.jpg
