My grandpa got engaged which was a small supprise as he only dated the lady for 9 months but he says he loves her more than any other person he’s ever known or something similar to that statement.  Also i got a “good” rating on my annual employee review they basically told me to start thinking like managment as i shouldn’t be happy where i am at.  And i spent $150 tuning up my car today with an oil change, air filter replacement, coolant flush, transmission change, and got my tires filled.  Overall my car should be ready for summer and i hopefully wont’ have to pay that much to fix my car again!

Ok i fixed my computer and things should be back to normal around here although it was kindof nice taking a break from my computer and only using the family computer about 1 hour in 7 days :p

In other news i decided i’m going to try the windows vista beta 2 instead of re-installing windows xp

So yeah expect my on-line life to be next to 0 this next week including blog updates as i’ll have to join the que to use the family computer.

The thing is that my cpu temp also fluctuates like crazy so i don’t really know where to debug as i don’t have a spare cpu nor a spare hard drive

I donated blood yesterday and it took me about 4minutes to donate around 1 pound ( volume wise it is 1 pint of blood) and of course i got the free cookies and orange juice.  Now just to clarify i DONATE my blood and i donated this time for all the idiots people that get injured on memorial day.

So it was 75ish degrees today and some friends and i went to Flaming Geyser State Park and tossed a frisbee went into the very very cold water and just had a fun time hanging out and having fun.

Do Eskimos really have over a hundred words for snow?

“
We’ve heard this story too. Or maybe it was that joke about how the
French have 50 different words for “surrender” (only kidding). But
seriously folks, after sniffing around for an answer, we’re confident
this is just an urban legend, albeit one with a grain of truth.”

Lactic Acid Is Not Muscles’ Foe, It’s Fuel – New York Times

“Everyone who has even thought about exercising has heard the warnings
about lactic acid. It builds up in your muscles. It is what makes your
muscles burn. Its buildup is what makes your muscles tire and give out.”

Well those are 2 good articles busting long held myths.

We had about 20 students show up and even though we had an xbox360 all they wanted to play on it was starwars battlefront 2 for the orgional xbox :p. Over all it was a pretty good event and with a $2 covercharge i’m sure we payed for our snacks and deposited a little money into the general fund.
