Silence is Madness
Indeed. Album title for post title this time. Id guess that no one knows who the album is by.
Even when I read, i usually like to have some background music playing.
On the other hand, my van (Thundervan!) still has no muffler (still). I mean to remedy this soon, just have to get a little money and some time to do it. Albeit, it sounds cool at low speeds thru town, like it actuall has some power behind it. However listening to it roaring down the highway at 70-80 MPH for 45 to 55 minutes each way to work, it gets old.
While Im at it, the van could use new tires, prolly brakes, shocks, and new spark plugs. yay.
Contrary to the previous posts announcement that I would be going to this Saturday's LAN at ROC, I have to goto work all day instead.
so now the next LAN I will attempt to attend will be the Arena War in Battle Creek on May 15. Maybe I'll get that Saturday off. Maybe.
I did get the reformat / re-install of WinXP done. and since I have a spare 20Gig drive, after I installed Windows, hit Windows Update, installed Norton System Works, updated that, installed drivers, tweaked it, added some other essential programs, I used Norton Ghost to clone it to my other 20G. so when this install gets "dirty" I can just clone it back over. Unless some one puts a giant magnet near my spare HD. Which is highly unlikely, since I know I'm not gonna do that.
I had ideas of installing Win2003, but I noticed I lacked a Key... So back to XP.
I have grown fond of playing Battlefield Vietnam lately. At first it felt kinna funny, but now Im getting used to it. I still prefer Battlefield 1942 original recipe.
Still waiting for DooM3 and Half life 2. im pretty sure we will get DooM3 first. I read somewhere the Valv (HL2 developer) said that they would not hesitate to delay Half Life 2 untill 2005 (!) if would turn out to be a better game. When I read that, it sounded very ominous. If they do, it had better be DAMN good.
In my last post I mentioned that it was 78 degrees that day. Today it snowed a little. Tomorrow it'll be around 70. Thursday maybe even 80. Currently its 37.
Have a good day, even though its night.
