TV: Chuck
First time ever watching Chuck. Got my introduction to the series via the iTunes freebie of the week, and it was great.
Will have to get Season One and fill in the all that seems to be missing.

Returned
The ride has returned from the dead. After weeks of arguing and months of waiting, the ride is back in the yard.
Problems found:
- chipped paint on the hood.
- cracked plastic by the windscreen.
- hood requires more force to close. (was working fine before my last argument with folks!!)
We fixed the chip with the old chip-stick; the lord knows it comes in handy. The plastic, I can’t do anything about it except call and give the folks another piece of my mind.
Anywho, will wash it on the weekend and see what else is wrong. Oh yes, I need to realign the front wheels or check their air pressure, should be 42 psi. Ok folks, I am out, till the next update.
About One Week
It has been about a week since my last post. During that time I have started work again, had an argument with the parts guys about my car, and probably lost about 2 pounds.
The month seems to be flying by, so I must make plans for a short trip to somewhere in the US, anywhere, it does not really matter. If you guys have some suggestions, drop a comment.
Ok, now I am off to get some manga in before bed, at least one chapter, must get up at 0430.
Way back
Do you remember the days when the Operating system did not use more memory than your worse written program. Now, we have a whole bunch of them out there eating away at the valuable RAM resource we are forced to feed them.
Windows and OSX eat through the shit like two love struck girls at an ice-cream shop. The other Operating systems are cool, but the GUIs again, eat through the stuff.
There was a time when you could leave the computer on for days, weeks, months (if you never went close to it) without a having to reboot. (Window 2000, so stable). Right now I am using Apples’ finest 10.5.4 (Leopard); and it still bites. Samba shuts down once you stop using it for a while and a reboot is needed to get to those shares you have on other computers. iTunes eats away at the RAM, and after a few days, the computer just gets mad slow. So slow that it becomes un-usable until you restart. And at that time, you need to hold down the power button as it freezes along the way.
Is there anyone out there taking note of the crap we are being feed, and have to pay good money for.
What I want is for the OS programmers out there is to stop adding on features that the consumer may never use, and start making the ones that they have already written stable. Take the time to look at yor code, see where one can close those loose ends. As of now, we have Apple thinking about Snow Leopard, it should be a bunch of fixes that should have been there already, but we will pay for that upgrade. Microsoft, I am not seeing a road map that fixes the problems that plague the OS. Vista has become the new ME, I ran the OS for a month before moving back to 98, then over to 2000, Vista will get the skip this time around.
Well, folks, just getting some stuff off my mind. :p
Sun Burn
This weekend I found that my forehead was a bit flaky. After a round with the scrub I soon realized that it was my skin coming off in scabs. Geez, I was only out for one day in that week. I did sit on the side of the bus with the sun on the way back, and it was mad hot; the AC didn’t even feel like it was working.
Normally when I drive only my hands get burnt, but this is taking the burn to another level. Note to self, always sit on the left side of the bus.
Those fuckers, taking so long to put my bumper on. This is the shit.
Bleach - The DiamondDust Rebellion
Ok, just had some time and gave the second bleach movie a look. One thing, it was better than the first. Had a bit more of a story one could follow.
I can’t say that I would recommend the movie to anyone, but those anime otakus out there, do give it a look if you have not already.
Batman: The Dark Knight
Just glimpsed the knight, and it was awesome. Dude, from beginning to end, it could no have been done better (Not part of any film school, or anything related).
If you have not seen this movie please do. I will be seeing it on the BIG screen in a few, hopefully it is still showing.
Illustrator CS3
Using the CS3 all fucking night, and it crashes not once, but twice. This is the shit man. Can’t get ahead if the tools die on you.
Anywho, the mac should have restarted by now. Time to get back to work.
