Alright, this is a little scary.

My school received a bomb-threat. Saying that they were gonna blow up the school today. (What a surprise.) So, I get to skip school. It isn't necessary, and I heard only 32 students are there.

And the story for Fallout 3 is boring, so far. Ooh! Project purification.

Haha, this is hilarious.

A friend of my grandfather bought a grill, and the next day it was stolen. The day after that, it was back with a note. The note said "Hey, I'm really sorry about this." and it gave him two tickets to a baseball game.

He went to the baseball game, happy that people are learning to be nicer. He comes back, his entire house is empty.

So I have been away from looking at this site for a year, and I go to check up on what has happened. So im looking at my page an...HUMANA-WHA, Map Of The Month Award?!?! FOR APPARTMENT?!?! SIX VOTES!?!?!?!?!?!?!? O.O I even watch Urby's video regarding my pathetic plasterboard excuse for a map (way to make me fell like never mapping again Urby, btw) and i'm as confused as he is about why I won. Im going to map again, and I'm going to make sure that I break this disgrase of a map from my memory...after I get over Urby's halarious comments :D

Well, I got three things in the mail today.

First was a set of round cake tins. I've always liked food, so I recently decided to make more of it. Tonight I will be making a Red Velvet cake for my gf for Valentine's. It's her favourite type. While a large cake for one person might be a tad much, I can't be bothered to adjust the recipe.

Second thing was 5 Ubuntu installation disks. For some reason none of the ones I made would work, so I went and ordered one on the internet. Unfortunately the minimum order number was 5, so I got that.
As a result, my computer is now in working order. It will take some time to get used to Ubuntu but I think I might like it.

The last thing was a package from Ukraine. Inside was a PMG gas mask. I've taken to collecting them. I already own a PBF gas mask, and those two are the ones the Civil Protection masks are based on in HL2. It's interesting how different they are. The PBF is an unusual design, the filters are on the inside, which as far as I know makes it unique. Impractical in a gas attack, the filters can't be changed without removing the mask, but still quite cool.
The PMG is much more conventional. The bulge that goes across below the eyepieces is an air channel, when you breath in it blows the incoming air past the lenses, defogging them. The disc at the front that looks like a showerhead is a voice diaphragm, it allows the wearer to be able to speak and be understood. The reason the filter is to the side is so the soldier can look down the sights of his rifle without it getting in the way. I notice it seems to be of cheaper construction than the PBF. I can't wear this one, it is a size medium and I have a size extra large head, but it looks like it wouldn't be too comfortable. The PBF on the other hand is extremely comfortable, due to the amount of rubber on the inside giving it a padded feel.

They both come with bags as well. The PBF bag looks like a handbag, but it looks quite nice and is well constructed. The PMG bag looks like a satchel or book bag (at least when closed), and is also pretty well constructed. Might work as a drop pouch for airsoft, seeing as how it has a magazine pocket and an extra leg strap so it doesn't swing when running.

tl;dr: Got cake tins, Ubuntu installation disks and a gas mask in the mail, and now my computer works.

[Edit] I was mistaken about the PBF being unique, the US M17 gas mask also has internal filters.

[Edit edit] I've baked the cake. I think it turned out quite nice. Unfortunately the exterior surface of the cake is brown rather than red, but since it is iced that isn't really a big deal. The icing didn't turn out as good. I thought I had forgotten to take down the instructions for it. It turned out the website I got it from had forgotten to put them up, they only had the cake recipe and the ingredients of the icing. I decided to just throw them all in a bowl and mix them together, which worked to an extent. It came out looking like glue. I assume I was supposed to whisk the egg whites until they were 'peaky', but that takes bloody ages to do by hand.
Anyway, at this point it's running off the top of the cake and off the plate. My housemates don't mind, I've told them that we'll only be having two or three slices between us, so they can finish it off after my gf leaves.

Life on Earth just changed.

THe North Atlantic current is gone. Which means, it wont distribute hot water like it used to, which keept UK from freezing and Skandinavian lands from being too cold for living in.

I've never been to a concert in my life.
Last night I went with some friends to see Datsik and Steve Aoki in Charlotte.
It was pretty fucking great. My legs, arms, and neck are sore as shit from hopping like a madman for 4 hours.

Just sharing.

[edit] just finished it :(.
Stalker: Call of Pripyat.

This game is addicting! Just traveled across the underground tunnels to Pripyat( arrived single- the rest of my squad died). First mission in Pripyat, 3 left to kill from the ambush(while the stupid allied NPCs die) and I die.
Quitting because of this, after 5 hours of playing.

I just watched a Japanese (English subtitles) horror/comedy/something movie called House (know as Hausu in Japan) from 1977.

It
was
Fucking
Awesome.

If you take David Cronenberg plus David Lynch times Potatoes and take that to the power of Giygas then you'd probably get one of my dreams.

Oh yeah House was pretty weird too, and I like weird.
Its got a man eating piano (Super Mario 64?)
and its got a killer lampshade (TvTropes would be proud)
and a disembodied head biting a woman and smiling (... I got nothing)

See it now.

I get paid to do some really stupid shit...

And here's the full video.

Checked woot today. They're selling a basic HP computer with a dual core AMD processor in it. I didn't buy but i checked the benchmarks.

Turns out a $350 basic starter machine has a better processor than my 'gaming rig' (dubbed "The Beast")

Sad benchmark Revelation

Methinks i need another processor / Mobo.

When I first played Final Fantasy 8, it was terrible! Mostly because I didn't know how anything worked.

Second time I'm playing, paying attention to tutorials. I was at the end of disc 2 on my first game, and after the first short dungeon, my character is as strong as my last one already. Huh...
