Phase 3
I was successfully able to complete phase 2, so far I have written 16 pages in various papers.
Yesterday after class, I took the time to relax and spend some time on stupid stuff I wanted to do, such as r-type final came in from gamefly. i just may have to send it back immediately, haha I beat it in an hour and I've unlocked about 8 new fighters out of 101, I don't plan on really unlocking them all, which takes at least 10 hours of gameplay.
I downloaded an awesome screensaver called electric sheep; the idea is based from the title of Phillip K Dick's short story "Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep?" Incidentally the movie Blade Runner is based off that story, and many other movies are based off of Dick's short stories like paycheck, minority report, and others I can't think of right now. but back to the screensaver, it downloads "electric sheep" (pretty much equations that look really pretty when visualized) periodically and will use them for your screen saver, they're badas, and look great. I've been looking for a screensaver lately. I wanted flying toasters, but it's absolutely impossible to find for PC, and I had settled with a Gorillaz screensaver till this came along.
Which reminds me Kong Studios is back up on Gorllaz.com, and I'm throughly excited... a new song is in the box office and a new album are in the works.
I read engadget along with about 4 other blogs everyday, and they had the coolest thing:
hacking the display of an ipod!! what it is pretty much, is that you edit the firmware updater of your ipod with a program called ipod Wizard, and it extracts all the images that the ipod uses, and a great deal of them you can replace with your own. I did a rathe rmild hack, changing only the "Do not disconnect" screen you get when you plug it in and "ready to go" or whatevr it is when you unmount it. so instead of a negation and checkmark respectively I now have two happy pictures:
and
I think it's pretty fun to have my ipod flash something different. If I wanted to, I could change the entire look, making new icons set for transfer, battery, volume, almost anything one can think of. you can make it look as awesome or as crappy as you want. I went for crappy kinda, reusing that picture I drew and had as my Lj avatar forever. and just increasnig the contrast and writing "yay musak" on it. haha. I want to take pictures and show you all the custom edition henrietta.
Phase 3 begins to day, in more serious news, I'm writing a paper for philosphy class, and at the most I can hope for a B, my teacher grades harshly, I can't imagine that if I came up with some revolutionary interpretation of mind that I would get more than a B+. but i just have to draw my own conclusions. I'm writing mine on free-will.
i was also able to get 10 hours of sleep last night! something I am very happy about. tomorrow my parents are coming to visit and i'm gonna go to providence in the evening by bus and get the tarantula that mike bought me for xmas and see ally another time before next weekend when she comes to boston to take a plane to ohio :(.
Well I need to concentrate on the paper. but before I go, what should I name my tarantula? so far we've all come up with a few: betty, aeris, bertha. betty seems to be the one that's sticking, but if yall can figure a bitchy-ass name for a female rose-haired tarantula, drop a line.
