THE pen bill was talking about

wait for the price to go down... wait for it...

and it seems a lot better than your average writing tablet too. i see it benefitting not just businessmen, but artists as well(speaking of which, i always wanted to learn about drawing manga and how to put it on a cpu, but that requires some technology and stuff, and that's beyond me at the moment).

bowler, the washington huskies' qb, is so smexy. scrambling qbs are fun to watch(go jeff garcia). elude tackles, run left, then throw with your right arm to the right? too good, if he just didn't cross the scrimmage line before doing so.

uc davis' football team getting whomped on both ends by san jose st. this is madness! madness? THIS... IS... SPAR... TA(kicks Gunrock into a pit)

trying to figure out how to finally get my new cd burner to work through all the error messages just to get one measly data cd burned is making me feel like pulling my hair out... it was so much easier when i was at uc davis: bring a usb drive and blank cd to school, and in about 15 minutes(maybe even i daresay, 10 minutes; those cpus were fast) on a lab computer i would be done with it. this better not be God's sadistic way of telling me i would've been better off buying an external hard drive with memory in the 200+ gb range.

the article on espn.com about john kitna's faith is very good.

october 22nd is international caps lock day.
december 5th is international ninja day.

of course, september 19th was international talk like a pirate day.

remember when the lakers' best player was nick van exel? you think when all is said is done, that nba fans might look back and say, "remember when the lakers' best player was kobe bryant?" in the same vein?

fyi, all the possible trade scenariors, and how the lakers are mentioned in every one of them, or somebody has to pop up with a scenario on espn.com with a "how bout this trade", makes me sick. i really dislike it when sports fans only like a particular sport because of their favorite team, usually hometown, doing well. or rumors that could mean their team does well. *sigh* people liking a sport because of the spirit of the sport, compared to a particular player or team, is a rarity; when will the foolish mortals learn. then again, basketball isn't my entire life; lefties tend to be more multi-faceted. (i half-wish andrew bynum would blow up, so that if the lakers have the ability to make another strong showing in the playoffs, i can ask them, weren't you clamoring to trade away kwame brown and andrew bynum a few weeks ago? then mumble in their vicinity *figures; laker fans are fickle*)

almost done reading davinci code; it's been fun. i think i can understand why somebody who's not sound in how the kjv bible was made, or know the real deal about roman catholicism could be thrown for a loop. but i think if you know those two, your faith shouldn't be swayed at all. too bad ignorance + biased knowledge = haterade.

watched "four brothers." good movie.

because i talked about it last night(man, now i want to shoot the food):

gauntlet 2 on pc(abandonware)

best way to run old school dos games is to use dosbox

easiest way to use dos box(after installing of course) is to create a folder in the c drive called "games." unzip gauntlet 2 into a folder in there. then startup dosbox and type in "mount c c:/games" and it should make the c://games folder behave like a c drive now. should be easy from there if you played on the old computers.

"green warrior needs food badly"

"green warrior is about to die"

world's most expensive dessert?
