Lots to choose from and between the two of us we have pretty useful skills. Considering the audio track I mastered and the song I created for the On Demand Video at for TSA state this year was DQed because the music I made was so good, I really wanted to be like? WHAT! I sat in a chair outside a confrence room for almost 5 hours making that and you DQ us because its "copy righted" oh yea! by me! because I MADE IT! GRRR. But I just see it as the highest praise because its "you were so great, you couldn't have made it." And Perez has pretty amazing producing and editing skills, much props.

So I am super excited. YAY!

Computers, Con's and Cars


So at the moment I'm writing this post with out internet. XD Not cool.

So Pop wanted my desk in the kitchen to work, his project is more involved than mine apparently. So I gave up the space but, before I did I cleared off my desk and whatnot and then set up a mini network of my Mini and Desktop so I could keep an eye on the torrents(gui webinterface of uTorrent) I have going, and listen to the music over there. This involved running an ethernet cable from the Desktop to my belkin router that is in the desk in the living room that i setup just for a purpose like this. And now the internet is back up, gosh I'm a nerdy genius.



I set up my network dubbed "happy sky" to cover a different subnet, from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.1 because the household router too is a belkin and duplicate subnets = no internet for me.

So i reconfigured happy sky so i can continue to surf on the mini AND check out the desktop. Such a nerd is I. I also created a few wallpapers for my phone. Fun stuff photoshop is, even if it is a minimalized "elements" gah.


So now I will get back to listening to music for the inevitable AMV that Perez and I will be making for Dragon*Con. Fun Fun.

And as far as Dragon*Con goes I plan to dress up on friday as arthur dent: bath robe, towel and all.

And then Wear a kilt at some point [samurai jack Scotsman anyone?](if mom finishes it) because I can. And then Saturday if it happens, the Steampunk outfit mom and I decided we would make oh last year(?) that hasn't happened yet. fun stuff.

I'm so excited, DJ Nemesis and a bunch of really cool bands are playing DC this year and its going to rock over all.

Best "santa" gift ever, 4day dragon*con passes for me and G. XD so happy.

Random other stuff!

Netbook remix of Ubuntu <- Really cool! I installed essentially a "live CD" to one of my spare SD cards and was playing around with it today on the Mini. At some point i will back up one of my flash drives and then write the live cd to it, and then make a active installation of the distro on the SD so I can edit me some files >.<
Subaru WRX Sti 2002 or 2006




Mazda RX-7 FC


Dodge Challenger 1970


Saleen Mustang 2009


Lancer Evo IV or X

Blog and a Bagel


Yum, warm peanut butter bagel. Its super fly, and delicious.

Dear me, I am now at a ludicrously large value...


That's music for ya. ;)

So, current favorites and worthy of a listen are:

Shots - LMFAO

Plush(live) - Stone Temple Pilots

Creeps Me out(rock remix) - Ima Robot



So I got these door hangers, you know the "dont change the linens" kind of things, and they are actually moderately funny.

they are double sided and multicolored and what not- this is the best
of them, or at least my favs.

"Surfin the 'Net In approved places"
"out and about having
fun"
"do not disturb pretty please"
"working away come entertain me"
"took cash from your wallet"

thought they were pretty good, and for getting them for 33 cents a piece, pretty awesome.

I'm still waiting for my kilt. Twas promised to me quite a while ago....

So I can't wait for my EXTernal hard drive. I so need it...

Hopefully Soon I will get my 1.5 TB Seagate Freeagent. oh my isn't this a great little buddy to have. it will definitely be locked to my bed post with a very nice cable. So looking forward to putting all of my music in one place. ( NO I am NOT an IDIOT, I'm getting it all in one place and then Burning off the backup copies to DVD. Yes I may be insane but I do have backup plans.)

Plus at my current rate it will be what? 20 ish DVDs? yeah... im so crazy... (that's just music too.)

and then the warez, cant for get those. those have to be backed up too. dang. that's a lot to do!
Oh well I still have a few weeks.... if I get that dang ext soon.... I still have quite a lot left to get and need this so i can actually continue to finish...
Oh well thats enough bemoaning my lack of external hard drive. I will eventually get it and at that point I will probably officially pass out. I look forward to the inexhaustible chore and horror that will be backing up my library of materials. Dear me, I really don't look forward to the media library editing and fixing; removing duplicates, except those from different albums, making a duplicate copy of FLAC that downgrades it so I can play it in something like Torq or Vdj, ID3 tagging every song correctly, and on top of that giving album art to things that have it that just aren't attached. going to be FUN FUN FUN.

Do i always have to publish after nine?


first off i thought i'd start off with a rant and a warning. this post will be long. Why? because i feel that i have a lot to say and didn't break it up along the way; during the week. and most of all i felt like it.

I HATE white socks, the crew kind especially, if you must have white socks get the low cut, extra low cut, no-show kind. I find them terribly ascetically unappealing. So all of my college socks will have to fall into one of those categories, black or white but VERY low cut.

alright onto more exciting matters, quite equally as random but hopefully from topic to topic my lead makes sense.

I have been seeing a lot of latin or latin esq labels on like everything; baked lays, jinx shirts, little 5 points. and it made me realize, wow taking latin was awesome. I understand all this stuff! The little 5 reference was the best though, "iste locum terribilum est" - that place is terrible, probably the most awesome and zany chalk writing on a door post i have ever seen.

which goes to my blog url, "iste stercum" - that crap. yeah thought it was amusing and most of my writing is well not cohesive and but it IS comprehensive so coherent or thorough?

I am at a stand still between wanting to take Japanese or Korean in college. Both are languages and countries i would love to know. But I just can't decide, I lean towards korean simply because its phonetic and in theory would be easier to learn than Japanese(and the ability to watch lost with out subs is cool too, okay maybe thats a stretch but still...) And either way I would be able to fulfill my inevitable goal of going to either S.Korea or Japan and teaching english for a year between Undergrad and getting my masters, so at this point it would seem to be a preference and a "rate my teacher/professor" issue.






College...
I'm excited, so much so that I drove on wed to the counciling office and paid two dollars to get a copy of a form that didn't even have my most recent immunizations on it, Yipee. So then i got to drive to my Dr.'s office and well actually that was the most awesome part, walk in say "hey i was wondering if you guys have a more recent copy of my immunizations on file" and then having my DR. himself come and say "hey, why yes we do. lets get that copied for you." and then he reminded me that i was probably missing a very necessary form, which i was that is essentially a fill this out and create more bureaucratic paperwork for us, all this does is restate what's already on this other sheet but we want it both ways...BUT i was in and out of my Dr.'s office in 7 minutes! CRAZY! so now i get to go back with that form but im not afraid of any wait at all. :)

and then I got to waste that night afternoon and early evening with Bo, who consequently was the reason I decided to blog this evening..., and we were trying to set up perhaps the coolest piece of software I have ever used.

its called tversity, and Bo and I couldn't configure his router to get it to broadcast out to the internet like mine can, but it is a super piece of software. It creates a flash interface that will stream your home media from your computer at home to any device that has access to the ip address of your server. It's spectacular for streaming mp3s and movies, especially because it will transcode them to the format you need for any device - on the fly. So cool. I love it just because i dont want to have to run upstairs to listen to music on my desktop, when i could stream the same file to my mini downstairs on my bed.



So saturday is the peachtree, so stoked. Time group 1A ! oh yeah, i think that means im kind of fast... but I'm super excited. Mom gave me the Nano to format so I can run with it and enjoy the crazy sounds of what ever i choose. Most likely, KMFDM and other industrial or high BPM driving music. I don't know why I would be surprised that industrial would make such great running music, it has a driving pounding bass line, high intensity and a lot of energy so it makes great sense that it would be spectacular runnning music. So that will be awesome, but I'm not looking forward to running home after the race, taking a shower and then having to be in to work by 11am, I am so dumb. I forgot to request off....


Which leads to other things in the future im excited about: Lunch with Mr. Ed next thursday, that is going to be awesome. Though I think I should figure out where... Oh and if he is reading this "I'm taking YOU out to lunch, that means I get to pay this time." :)

and then the next day there is the party at Alan's house, going to be so much fun. I suppose I will sing more soundgarden again. And then Rocky Horror at the plaza woot. (I just watched it again yesterday and remembered why I like it so much, so cult classic. its wonderful)

so, fairly long eventful blog post for an awesome eventful week. I need to figure out when I am going to get together with Bo for a movie, I still need to see:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Public Enemies
The Proposal
Bruno
The Ugly Truth
