Traffic Woes

After going 40 MPH for a while, 60 MPH feels like 100 MPH.

Bear with Me

Borrowed from my defunct Xanga site
Black Bear yelled in Little Klondike's ear and called him Iceberg. Little Klondike pushed Black Bear off the roof. Paws pushed Little Klondike off the roof. Black Bear went back up the roof and spilled honey on the roof. Klondike went off the roof and the brown bears had a party on the roof while the polar bears did nothing.

Now the continuation

Though the brown bears had a good time on the roof, they did not bother to clean up the mess they have made. Eventually ants and other insects started to swarm all over the roof. The brown bears ignored it. Fed up, the polar bears kicked the brown bears off the roof. The brown dog mopped the roof. Eventually the brown bears apologized and went up on the roof with the polar bears. Black Bear was on the ground because there was no more room left to sit. Poor Black Bear.

RAMblings

RAM usage sample: 453 MB
The extra RAM won't be appriciated until heavy multitasking has occured
or when a game is loaded or when Firefox is has been running nonstop
SimCity 4 stutters at 512 MB (only when playing very large and complex cities) It would push the overall usage up to 500 MB
after the boost to 768 MB, performance suffers but not as bad as I had with 512. The overall usage ranged from 600 to 700.
I still need that gig.

Cut and pasted directly off a saved text file in notepad. Continually typing, not stopping to think what I just did.

more exactly traffic moving so slow I was able to take a photo

scrap104 & scrapstyle

Both usernames are interchanable. scrap104 and scraptyle both exist. Both exist on AIM though 104 is used. Both are used in Gmail though 104 is used. -style is used on digg. 104 is pretty much by default and -style is used at my discretion. 104 and style suffixes have arbitrary origins. scrap103 sounds awful but scrap104 seems to be ok. 104 can be pronounces in a variety of ways though -style is well... style. Scrapalist is derived from something, however. Take Federal and alist and you get the Federalist papers. Likewise, take Scrap and alist and scrapalist is formed. Scrapstyle... the if and if only if of scrap104. Scrapstyle this and scrapstyle that. I don't know how scrapstyle styles with scrap104. Hum. How scraptastic is that? Whyever.


Dear god I'm tired.

Observations in Driving 9

On the highway on the 3rd leftmost lane at 70 MPH, you're behind me. You speed up dodging all other cars and racing away from me. I assume you're in a hurry or just an asshole driver. I can now barely see you on the horizon. What I see next are blicking blue lights. I pass by and see you on the shoulder pulled over by a red Crown Victoria. I laugh.

You just made my morning commute so happy.
:)

Whigfield - Lover

Take me away...
Take me away...

Cause you show a little mercy now
For this crazy heart of mine
Cause my lips are getting fester now
For a man I need to find

And baby now you are
My only forever
Let's get it together
Cause baby now you are
I think you're an angel

I just wanna be your lover
Your lover
Oh yeah
I just wanna be your lover
Discover
Your love

Take me away... Take me away...

If you move your body close to me
You can warm me up inside
You're the one I've seen all my dreams
And I want you by my side

And baby now you are
My only forever
Let's get it together
Cause baby now you are
I think you're an angel

I just wanna be your lover
I just wanna be your lover
I just wanna be your lover
Your lover
Oh yeah
I just wanna be your lover
Your lover
Your lover

(ah ah ah ah)
Discover your love (ah ah ah ah)
Be your lover (ah ah ah ah)
Discover your love

Be your lover (ah ah ah ah)
Discover your love (ah ah ah ah)
Yeah (ah ah ah ah)
Discover your love

I just want to be your lover

Take me away...
Take me away...
I just wanna be your lover
Your lover
Take me away...
Be your lover
Your lover
Your lover

Stupid Break

I forgot everthing I learned.

Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000

I shall call him... WnLM6K. The mini-me of WLM6K. It's great to have the wireless reciver attach to the mouse when not in use. The buttons are hard and stiff to click for a reason, that is the mouse will get smushed with all the other crap I stuff in my laptop bag. The wheel of my Intellimouse Explorer get smushed and is hard to scroll which made the mouse impractical to use when I bring my laptop around. The wheel on the WnLM6K is "slippery." There's absolutely no friction and you can accidently scroll if your arm gets in the way of the mouse. The laser tracking is fine... just got used to WLM6K's laser tracking.

One problem is the mouse's magnify button is my "big" mouse's small thumb button which equates to FORWARD in the browser. Of course I could set the magnify button to BACK, but when I use the big mouse again and when I want to go FORWARD, I actually go BACK so I have change the intellipoint settings again. It's annoying, yes, perhaps a macro might make things easier.

The mouse is not practical for everyday use, more situated for take your laptop to school, work, travel.

My Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 looks cute together with my Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 though I get the notebook mouse in the laptop bag when not in use.

Observations in Driving 8

You may cut me off as long as the turn signal is used.
And the turn signal corresponds with the direction intened.
And the turn signal is activated before going into the intended direction.
And that you not brake to 0 mph once you cut me off.
And that you drive in a speed higher than the posted speed limit.

Test Taking

One thing I seem to notice this semester is my test taking habits. I'm a 95% lefty which means I'm right brained and seems to be connected to randomness. I start and work on question 1, glance at question 2, work on the last question, work backwards and fowards, up and down the test in nonsequential order. Even on scantron or SAT tests I work backwards. Neat huh. One best test strategy I discovered is to use ALL of the test time alloted. For the past 3 test, I was literally the last person finished or close to that. Sometimes overtime will be forced and I take full advantage of that. For Calc, I was the LAST person to turn in the test. My result: 99. In another class, 98. In another 89, but that was because I was taking 2 tests on the same day and I had to set my priorities.

On a totally unrelated note, I get less pencil mudges on my finger with a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil with the grippy thing and clicky thing on the side and the GOOD white eraser. Those bic 0.7 mm pencils gave me bad smudges on top of a crappy eraser.
