I got a new acer aspire one battery .. its a six cell i got from ebay
5 hrs of battery life. Its nice not having to worry about being next to a plug all the time.

I also got parts to build a new pc. its a intel Quad core Q9300 in an antec 300 case. Its pretty sweet .. i have it overclocked from the stock 2.5 ghz to 3 for now. I suppose i could up it higher but I odnt want to make my pc unreliable.

Wtf i am watching mama mia right now.. i will sit here on the pc and work on other stuff... wtf this is messed up and the girls are getting all giddy and singing songs about now one girls mom banged three guys in three monnths. I dont like this girly girl crap. crappp. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

O watch this.. Its Cutey Honey anime.

I got my new laptop in! Its the Acer Apire One A150, 120 gig hd and 1 gig o- ram.

It has windows XP home on it which I am using now. I installed ubuntu but it was very slow and would freeze on some of the hiberate cycles. I am thinking of upgrading to Vista, but I am not sure if it is worth the effort :P. So far I have found it to be an excellent laptop. The only complaint i have is that after using it for a while, my eyes start to strain to read the text on the screen.

I hope i don't need glasses :P

I took a trip to Houston with Kim to get my VW back from the dealer and we decided to make a day out of it while we were there in Houston.

We ate at Yia Yia Mary's Greek restaurant off of Westheimer www.yiayiamarys.com . Ordered a Lamb Gyro and it was sex. Kept me and my girlfriend full for the rest of the day. I love the flatbread / tortialla thing that the Gyro comes in. I wonder if College Station has any of this food. Also had a chicken/ beef kabob thing that was great. The Orzo side dish was excellent and had good sauce. The highlight of the day was when the waitress gave us a free baklava for dessert. The baklava was drenched in syrup *om nom nom*.

We got on the road and stopped at a gas station which just so happened to be near a theatre, so we went in and saw Hamlet2. Hamlet 2 was a little too serious twoard the middle of the movie than I was anticipating. The play at the end well made up for the downfalls of the strange and depressing main character. I would recomend seeing it if it is showing near you.

I am finally back in CC and out of Houston. I forget how simple it is to get around town here in CC and how nice it is here. Right now the olympics are on, enjoying some Kim, and I got my new camera.

Speaking of olympics <---- see pic on left. :P
Bush is happy.

I saw wanted. It was a decent action movie but not very memorable or thought provoking. Angelina Jolie isnt hot and hasn't been hot since "Hackers" in the mid 90's. Pic on left.. and her lips are weird. Oh, and she shoots a bullet in a circle. makes no sense.

Jolie Circa 1995


I noticed that I have been getting less constructive as the summer goes on. I suppose I need a vacation :P

I am excited about Tron2 and Terminator4. I am skeptical about Xmen origins.

Oh and this girl is great: You must watch this.. true anime fan.

So This weekend I decided that I needed to wax and claybar my car (Volkswagen Golf mk3). l knew that my car was feeling a little gritty even after washing, so I decided to claybar it and take off all the dirt. The claybar is a sticky blob of putty that you can rub on your car with some spray polish lubricant. It made my car smooth and glassy but not gassy. It also takes off a lot of wax.

Claybarring the car probably takes all of an hour to an hour and a half. Waxing (in this case two coats) takes about 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs. I would recommend using an iPod Shuffle or other mp3 player for listening to some music or else you might go crazy.
I bought Mother's California Gold Claybar Kit.
.
It comes with the claybar, some sample wax and the spray on polish used as claybar lubricant. I used Dupont Teflon car wax. This stuff makes my very smooth. I decided to do two coats of wax to get a really deep shine. I am not sure that two coats made a big difference, but after claybarring and waxing my paint is alive again :D

The Teflon wax seemed to be a little less abrasive than the cleaner wax that came with the bottle. Next time I will use a non abrasive glaze wax like Meguiar's Pure polish.

Today I bougt the first parts to my robot. I will post the specs later but i plan on having a remote controlled/ autonomously controlled robot that can roam around the house when i am gone and I can watch though its eyes via the wireless camera. I am thinking or putting on a little lcd screen so i can display text and the camera should have a microphone so there can be two way interaction. Maybe solar panels for self charging.. or some sort of self docking system ala roomba.

I made couscous with ground meat and tomatoe sauce and some peppers and onion and it was decent. Too much bellpepper I think. Couscous is sex though.
Started to watch some of "crank" but didnt like it so much. Saw The Onion movie thoug.. lolcity.

Thats all. should be going to bed for work tomorrow.
