Big news today: I bought a humidifier. It glows in the dark!

The doctor said I have an “upper respiratory viral infection.” and that he can do nothing for me. I’m suppose to drink lots of fluids.

I’m finding more faults with Mozilla. There are weird form posting problems. Simmilar problems to the ones IE has on OSX, actually (and this is Mozilla for Win98)

I can’t think about anything for very long. I’ve been playing lots of Final Fantasy X and Dynasty Warrriors 3. Also, today I bought Tony Hawk 3, for only $25 at blockbuster (previously viewed). I was pretty excited about that. Well, as excited as I can be when it hurts to just exist.

OK, enough self-pitty.

wow. I hadn’t thought it was possible to write such drivel! I have soared to another literary plane with that jumbled account of nothingness. I’ll blame the fever. I’ve been terribly terribly sick these last three days or so (isn’t everyone). I haven’t puked yet, but I’ve done the whole standing in the bathroom looking at the toilet like its filth-ridden bowl might suddenly be your best friend thing. I hate that. But it hasn’t really been a “puking sort” of flu. It’s more sinus related, I think. I may or may not have an infection. I’m going to try and squeeze myself into some clinic tomorrow when I wake up.

Just about all I’ve done the last two days is play video games, read this (so far) awesome book, and occasionally check my email. Occasionally is one of those words I seem to always misspell. I never know wheether there are two ‘c’s, or two ‘s’s. Speaking of misspellings, I thought for a second there that I was misspelling “misspell” because it just looks wrong to me for some reason with those two ‘s’es in there. so I looked it up, and it seems webster’s has both spellings. Of course, mispell (one s) is just a refference to misspell with two. Fascinating.

ok, I’m going to try and sleep now. It’s been almost pointless these last two days, but maybe I’ll be able to get a few good hours in…

This page cannot be fucking displayed.

of course, I found this (again) on blogdex, so I’m just echo-ing another popular link…

oh wow. I forgot I posted that. rather disgusting, isn’t it?

Final Fantasy X is not only beautiful, but it’s terribly addicting too… I’ve found myself talking strategy over ICQ with friends while I’m at work, then leaving early just to play… (ok, so work is slow, and it was only an hour early.)

I bought groceries today. Then I tried to sign up for SimonDelivers.com but they’re not accepting customers in appartment buildings. Typical.

I’ve been meaning to start posting pictures. I have this nice digital camera, and I do use it… on occasion.

So I snapped this low contrast image of my scrotum in the hopes that it will help you get to know me better.

Why does fifteen minutes reading blogs seem like at least an hour? Yesterday was perhaps the longest seeming day at work for me, ever. I remember thinking at one point, it had to be time to go, and I was evne mentally getting ready, and I looked at the clock and it was only 2:30. I don’t suppose it helps that with my recent OS upgrade to 10.1.2 there is no option to choose between 12 hour time, and 24 hour time. This is true even on my ibook, where I don’t have the problem that I’m stuck in 24 hour time. (for some reason, I look at 14:38 and it looks much later than 2:30, ya know?)

I’m going home to play some Final Fantasy X.

I have discovered the plan to have a blogcon in August in Las Vegas… It’s absolutely crazy.

I feel not at all a part of any sort of blog community. at least, not yet. The weird thing is that I kinda want to feel that way. It’s like a nagging social itch. People I want to meet, or email, or feel close to…

It’s rather strange, actually, because what I really used to crave was online colaboration. I remember doing various online projects with people, usually people I knew, but didn’t hang out with that much, or see that often.

I wonder how many blogs I can find from minneapolis or minnesota.

I have done very little at work lately asside from test out the new build of Mozilla, which kicks ass. There are three reasons I think it’s great. First, you can now use tabs to keep track of your open sessions (instead of windows). I’d change a couple of things abou this (for instance, you can’t right click on a tab and move it to a new window…) and I’d also like to be able to have a nice list of open tabs _and_ windows somewhere. Right now it’s just keeping track of windows under the “tasks” menu.

Second reason it’s great: You can dissable javascript popups. It must be dissabling “onload” popups, because javascript open new window scripts seem to work fine. Porn will never be so innocuous.

Finally, the last reason Mozilla is great is that you can now right click on banner ads and “Block images from this server”. Banner ads begone! I just feel kinda weird about it, because I really want to support some sites, by viewing their ads, or whatever it takes. So I hope I don’t accidentally block servers that also happen to serve ads to sites I like. (oh well if I do. ;)

There are some other things I don’t like so much about it (my mouse scroll-wheel doesn’t work with frames), but the typical complaints, (slow load times, bad rendering) seem like they’ve pretty much been taken care of. I did have it crash on me once in about 8 hours of use. Probably about as often as IE crashes… I can’t wait till there are hundreds of skins too!
