Slightly busy day

So today I got up, went to work, went to other work, turned in my petition and stuff to start the UO Waterski Club, lurked around work a little more chatting with folks, and went to the student travel agency to see how much it’d cost me to go to MN this summer. Good lord $350 is a lot of money! And now I’m looking forward to going to a show tonight. So I guess it’s not *that* busy a day, but moreso than most for me.

And the post graphic is from a Richard Scarry video cover :-/ it seemed at least partially random.

I dig Mac OS X

So today I wore my O’reilly “I dig Mac OS X” shirt to work. Also this evening we had a build party, all the people in the program we have jobs through get new PC’s (fairly spec’ed out, I might add– though I don’t know the exact specs off the top of my head– Some sort of 64bit AMD something with 1GB of DDR RAM), and Mac Mini’s (1.42GHz model + extra RAM). Anyhow, while punching out the bezel to slide the optical drive into, something bit me. My finger got a pretty good sized gouge in it. I bled pretty bad, but I finished the build and my PC “postulated” (though we couldn’t actually load anything on them because my boss didn’t buy any SATA power cables), so I get to have “fun” getting it running on Friday.

If the weather holds up until tomorrow morning, I get to spend another 3 hours running around outside (just like last Thursday). This time the first bout of activity will be ultimate frisbee, followed by more grass volleyball. I should get some sleep tonight.

Big shouts out to my cousin Courtney and Erik who just had a really cute baby girl, and my cousin Joel and Ang who will be having a little one running around by the end of the year. And to Pete and Jill who will be having another little one at the end of the summer. So many little ones.

Oh yea, only 42 hours left until OS X 10.4 Tiger comes out!

GAAAAAAH! WHY!?!?!?

Why did this movie need to be made? “Locusts”: CBS  |  IMDB.

So creepy.

[edit (10:59pm): ending was so lame. SPOILER: So there’s this swarm of genetically engineered locusts moving across the country from both coasts, these locusts are immune to all known pesticides. The options are spraying the country with nerve gas, or divert all power to continental power grids. As the story goes, weather balloons convince nearly ALL of the locusts to fly into the supercharged power-lines, and nearly ALL of them die, the remaining ones become steril somehow, and everyone lives happily ever after. SO. LAME.]
