oh yeah

brad can't do under 40 mins at the horse park, i pumped out 33 mins.

however, at tribble mill i busted up my same knee i f'ed up last October. it looks exactly the same now as it did then. however, it still feels fine - it didn't in October.

i found what i need: MTB knee pads!

i got chris's xbox 360 working.

i replaced the video card in my pc with the GF4 Ti4200 128mb. i had the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro.

I found Guitar Hero III for the PC at Target fro $55, so i had to get it.

that's about it.

hahah i have a 360

chris gave it to me.


but it's dead.

well, my progress so far.

1 red light, error e74 - av cable error


chris has already done the towel trick a few times, now to no avail.


i took it apart.


2 red lights. overheading. i didn't have fans plugged in.

1 red light still.


i did some more crap, removed the heatsinks, etc.


i got the xbox screen for 3 seconds, the two red lights. oops, the mainboard has the heatsinks laying on gpu and processor. well, they're not touching. reassemble, and lay mainboard in metal case.

3 red lights.


:)


i think if i keep trying i can get 4 red lights, or the thing might even spontaneously combust :)


stick

hey chris

omg omg omg

my good news for the weekend:

my tax returns should net approx $4400+ :) goodbye credit card debt!!!

yes. 2005, 2006 and 2007. i have another couple hundred to write off for 2006 and like a few more thousand to write off for 2007... but i should be able to get back at least my credit card debt (currently $4324.90).

my computer's video card might be on the fritz. so my next purchase: a Digital SLR or new pc? hmm... :)

Saw

saw I. well, there was no "1" so i guess it was just "saw". so i finally watched it. confusing. i liked saw II and saw III better. maybe i'll watch saw IV soon. we'll see.

my pc is uberly pissing me off. i'm about to update my video drivers to an older version (it keeps garbling the screen).

i installed the shelf for the projector. the ceiling fan just barely is in the way by maybe 1/4". oh well. barely noticeable. however, running the cables will prove to be a hassle. i'll need to buy/borrow a realllly long drill bit to accomplish the task. crap this is going to be hard with the width of the monitor cable...

tonight's goal is to gather everything i need to do my taxes this week. we'll see if it's Christmas, in April :)

i want to eat cereal, but i think my milk's spoiled. bastard. however, i am eating cranberry sauce out of the can, with a spoon. it's good. hamburgers later.

after i do my taxes i'd like to start working ont he black bike. and sell both of them.

i had the same thought this morning about my blog as i did months ago. everything's going good in my life, and there's no drama, so there's little to talk about. hehe
