9 hours!

man I'm stoked! 9 hours until the kickoff of the USC x Ohio State game. I hate Ohio St. I LOVE USC!
Many people know that I am from Washington, and I love my M's and my Hawks, my Dawgs, my Sonics and hey, even my Sounders. But the first team I liked in my life was the Trojans. As a kid, I moved around a lot. At the time I was coming into an age where I was starting to play and watch any sports, I lived in California. Actually, a few places in California. This is why I love me some USC, and some Dodgers. Of course a lot of my deeper connections with sports teams were formed later in life during the later 80s and 90s and the struggles of most of my local Seattle teams (except for the dominance of UW!). My first hat was a Dodgers cap. My first football had a SC logo on it. I'm stoked for this game! In the Horseshoe. True freshman at the helm. GO TROJANS!

OHHHHH MAN I'M PISSED!

I was just watching the Frontale game against #1 Kashima Antlers at Kashima's home stadium. Frontale was just over 2 games back in 2nd and they will still be that way tomorrow. Why? Well, let me tell you. With less than 20 mins left in the game, and Kawasaki up 3-1 the ref decided that the pitch conditions were not playable. True, the ball didn't move much across the ground when kicked, but... So they sit around for 30 mins, he comes out, checks the field a couple of times and declares a "no game." I had no idea that this was even possible. Unreal. Poof, 70+ minutes of the game never existed. Tese's 2 goals, gone. No, "let's pick up and play later," just done. Unreal. Are you serious? I'm pissed. What a joke! The season is winding down, we could have been 4 points out of first, instead, we're still 7 back and now we've got a three way tie for second. Man they better give us another chance to take out those posing suckers! I F'n hate Kashima, and this just makes me hate them even more. That's right, mother nature made me hate a soccer team more. Live with it.

please don't make me do it!

I swear to god that If another 'person' answers the question "what's new?" with "nothing" and then stops talking, i'm gonna scream and then rip their head off. and then eat it.

go hawks!

iPhone app

an interesting little miniaturization effect done by an app I got for
the iPhone

my PC is F'd up!

so, yes, my PC is experiencing a bunch of problemos. so I stopped by Bic Camera today and picked up this beast!that's right, 1.5Tb of hard drive storage action! I work late tonight, should be home around 11 and I plan to get to work on backing up all the important stuff (pictures, music, and videos) and then do a clean re-install. why couldn't thus have happened in about 2 months when I could get my hands on the new Windows 7? F! god, I wonder how long it's gonna take...
in other news, when i arrived home last week, I found a couple rolls of plastic wrap in the mail box along with a letter letting us know that construction would be going on for a couple weeks in and around the building. it started today. the plastic wrap was a consolation for being disturbed. ha! like plastic wrap is gonna come close to making up for a 9am wake-up call that sounds like someone is actually drilling into my eye.

de-railed!

so, I went to sleep. Yeah, yeah, I know, that wasn't the plan. But starting at the beginning, I was all fired up to get the games on. I fired up Afrika... waaaay to slow. I was already very tired after having gotten up at 7am after about 4 hours of sleep and working all day. Afrika did me in. I did switch to Fight Night Round 4 after about an hour and a half, but the damage had been done. And then, College Football. Not the game, the sport, the real-deal, kickoff weekend! I got so distracted with all the different streams coming at me on Justin TV (and trying to fight through all the tech. issues). I ended up giving up and calling it a night. Went to be around 3 and just got up at about 10. Now I'm watching the VaTech and Bama game, pretty good, 17-16 at the half, but I'm excited (and nervous) about the LSU x UW game coming up in about 20 mins...
it's on!
I might get back to playing some games later...

10:40 kickoff!

so a few bends in the road and it's now 10:20 and I have yet to start out the night of gaming! oh well, soon.
stopped at the lame festival on the way home and snapped a couple of pics.what to start with...?
actually, I'm really sleepy, need a second wind... maybe beer is the answer?

epic gaming weekend alteration...

so my weekend gaming plan has been slightly altered. the main reason is because there is a festival going down in town tonight so I think i might spend a bit of time there before kicking off. that's it.

やる気がない!

after a few weeks of all or not schedules, i'm spent. it's really tough to have such up and down days, impossible to get into any sort of mental rhythm. especially when i see certain names on my day's docket... that's where 'やる気がない' comes in. it means something like 'no drive.' that's how i'm feeling today. just wanna go home.
tomorrow's a day off. gonna go to see a doctor about my eye and get a blood test probably. also might get a new phone. thinking hard about the iPhone. i'll let you know how it goes. for now, 5 or 6 lessons to go...

could it be?

Is it just me or is U2 somehow ripping off Coldplay (had to google that name)? Either way, they both suck.
