As usual I suck at life...
...but we all knew that. I'm getting slightly better though - entries in consecutive months is worth something, right?
Anyway, you should check out the ever impressive disco dance floor:

it's finally finished, for good this time, too ... really. Bask in its coolness.
Besides the dance floor I haven't really been up to that much. I'm just back from Spring Break, and I don't want to be back in classes. I have too much work to do - lab reports and a paper and forms to get signed and a test coming up next week that's going to be really bad and just general ickiness. I'm tired; I need another spring break.
Let's see ... some cool things that have happenned...
-> I bought posters!! :o They were cheap and I wanted a Mucha poster, but they didn't have any I liked so I got Dr. Octopus and Johnny Depp instead :D I feel uneducated, but they make me happy. Now I just have to clean my room enough that I can walk around and put up said posters. I should take pictures of my room and post them just so you can know the level of absolute choas that it's reached *sigh* It's really bad.
-> Grant, Scott and Skyler are concocting schemes for a huge disco dance floor that's got 3" squares (that's 16 to a square foot) and is 8 times as big as the one we put in the lounge. They want to put it on the dot for the world series and have a huge party. It would be modular (in one foot squares) and the squares would click together and be wireless outside the squares because all the data and power would be transfered through the connections and ... well, you get the idea. It's completely absurd. :)
-> I went on hugely difficult quest for a new power supply for my computer. It was very long; suffice to say that I went through 5 Radioshacks, 4 T tokens, was offered $220 worth of other products, and told that there was nothing that could be done 3 times before I finally got a stupid replacement. *Grrrrr* Mean old meanies trying to cheat me out of my hard earned cash. I have a lifetime warrenty on that piece of crap power supply. They even tried to sell me one of the newer models that doesn't work with my model of computer! >:(
Hmmmm...can't think of anything more at the moment so hopefully I'll be posting soon... Hey! you never know, I might... just to mix things up a little.
