watching wind scalp the white off the waves

All of the clocks in my apartment are wrong. This is made more annoying by the fact that two of them are atomic and one is internet-updated. The atomic ones are wrong because they are actually just 'atomic' clocks, i.e. they get a radio signal from a real atomic clock. Which never gets picked up in my apartment. Meanwhile the clock in my computer's system tray is supposed to update itself by talking to NIST, but some firewall or other miscommunication issue means it never ever works. To add insult to injury, my car's clock runs fast. Also the CD player broke. I'm fairly certain St. Joseph wasn't even involved this time.

In other news the hard drive transplant has taken so far, and I have a red stapler.

Other news in brief: Apparently the G6 is getting a new variant next year but will be more about looks than getting more power. Bush is an idiot (OFN), this time for suggesting we shouldn't have left Vietnam. The new Katamari demo's framerate makes it feel like the game is being played on fast forward.

updates

I actually updated my website. It's been neglected ever since I started ranting here. It needs some more attention though - maybe I will watch some new movies to review or something. I was very close to buying Bulletproof Monk the last time I went to Best Buy, but then I remembered I wanted to see Cradle 2 The Grave (the movie with Jet Li, DMX and Tom Arnold) and I wanted that one so much that Bulletproof Monk went back on the shelf. Unfortunately they did not have any copies of Cradle 2 The Grave, so I left Best Buy empty-handed, always a sad event. I think I'm also going to try to update my pictures site, that's been completely forgotten.

I sorted a bit of stuff today, but I think that was more to settle into my room than get ready for Oregon. Even though I've been graduated for over over six weeks. I might take a crack at sorting stuff for real tomorrow. So far my list of things has:

1. my George Foreman grill
2. my pillows
3. my laptop

Now I can probably get pretty far with these three items, and it's pretty symbolic of grad student life (eat, sleep, and compute), but I'm gonna need more than that.

I might also take a look at the Malibu. I could stand to get some of the leaves and crap out of the air intakes, and it could stand to be waxed.

I read some of the news today. Not the crap on CNN, real news. I really hope they impeach that son of a bitch George W. Bush and his whole damn administration. I used to trust CNN. I got mad at them after they dropped the ball on the SpaceShipOne flights, and the current media environment is just ridiculous.
