Montage: Sick Day = Frequent Updates
Thanks to the beauty and wonder of a cold I will be updating my blog very frequently today. Only one email will be going out notifying people who subscribed to my blog’s update mailing list (see under my pic on the right). Let’s see if anyone can spot the entries posted under the influence of cold medicine, shall we? (This single post will grow as I update it throughout my sick day.)
Dual Layer DVDs (8:18am)
Blank dual-layer DVDs are currently still too expensive for mass consumption. At an average price of $2 on sale per disk, compared with an average price of 30 cents per disk for single layer medium, buying DL medium only makes sense to one sector of computerists - DVD Pirates. Therefore there are only two ways I can see for the price of DL to finally come down to where it should be: (1) If no one buys DL media the price will fall (2) more people need to become DVD pirates…
Spiders! (8:45am-8:47am)
Spiders!SpidersEverywhere!getimoffme!getimoff!getimAAIIIEEE!!!
They’reStillOnMe! (8:49am-9:05am)

The real reason fisherman club those suckers; their eyes. THEY *whack!* JUST *whack!* WON’T *whack!* STOP*whack!* STARING *whack!*AT*whack!*US!*whack!**whack!**whack!*
Optical Mice (10am)
Ever have that one stupid spot on your desk that makes the freaking mouse jump back to the top of the screen? I HATE THAT!
Ultimate Geek Shirt (10:45am)
grok milk?
Friend called. Me love friend. (11am-12:30pm)
No, I didn’t call myself. True, I love me but usually not in public. Stupid tickets!
Lunch (12:30-1PM)
One can Campbell’s Vegetarian Vegetable soup. Add some garlic powder, crushed red pepper and some dabs o’hot sauce and instant cold feel better spicey goodness. Ahhhh… Mmm Mmm good.
Obtain Candy (1:30-2:30pm)
Yes, I am in Vegas but wrong kind of candy. 9 bags of Chewy Mini Sweet Tarts purchased. Also saw same beggar at used book store; gave number to old work place for possible job instead of money.

Count the Blinkies (4:25pm)
How many little blinkie lights are on from electronic gadgets and computers in your room. Count them. My count right now is 18. (Lightbulbs don’t count)
Play Pai Gow Poker (4:45-6pm)
Learned it at the pre-opening of the Red Rock Hotel and Casino. Nice place!

(Hint: if you need to distract the dealer, use a live chicken)
Finish Book (7-7:40pm)
Friday, by Robert Heinlein was a good read. Loved the main character, who could NOT love this man’s writing? So many wonderful messages wrapped in comfortable, warm and highly imaginative stories. *sniff* I get almost sad when I finish one of his masterpieces… *sniff*
People with Loud Car Stereos
Should die. Horrible horrible deaths. On fire. Definitely on fire! There’s no shortage of these ^%#@!ing maggots. Fire. Screaming in agony. Nothing short will do.
20 cent DVDs (9pm)
Tried out Bargain GQ brand 16x DVD+R from Fry’s. Seem to work just fine. Not bad for 20cents a piece for 4.5Gigs of storage. Label spacing on front kinda small but big whoo-whoo for cheap media. (GQ brand of 52x CDRs suck though, they only burned at 32x)
8 Bags (10:15pm)
Down one bag of Chewy Mini Sweet Tarts! Also down one $%#@!-hole with loud car stereo. Marshmallow bag empty…
Head Cold Test (10:41pm)
In case you didn’t realize you had a head cold, eat some semi-hard cookies and notice the LOUD crunch echoes in your skull while you eat them. Deafening. Mucus apparently amplifies sound in congested head BIGTIME! Mr. Science is proud. Holy $%#@! that’s L-O-U-D!
4am Wakeup (4am!)
A problem with colds is that you wake up sometimes, not even tired at very bad hours. Start to think about the secrets of the Universe, receive much needed epiphany about aforementioned secrets after an hour then fall back to sleep. Wake up. Dig through skull for secrets learned only to find out that knowledge was lost. Ponder. Skip rock across ponder. Wonder if one held onto knowledge would one have woken up? Deep ponder. Need more flat rocks.

What's the deal about the spiders? Spiders are our friends, they eat those nasty big bugs that try to hichhike a ride on you. Now big spiders just like to bite you when you roll over them on the bed at night when you sleep. Little Spiders try to catch their next meal, but I agree, spiders are better outside of a house than inside of a house.
It's those Mexican spiders you have to worry about. Helped my stepsister hook up her new 418 dollar Compaq Presario (it even has a PCI Express card slot in it for a new graphics card, and a AMD Sempron 3200+ (2.0 G
. Now I'm jealous). Oh well not to worry, will probably be getting ready to upgrade my current pc up to your UUGM specs Between June 2006 to June 2007 (what fun huh?). What's that Mr. Sandman? Time for bed? But I don't wanna go to bed, Tomb Raider 7 is here for me to play (with).
