Oh shit, the backstop for Hulu’s MSGW has like all the UC series, even the ones I’ve never been able to find syndicated in America

I’M GRINNING SO WIDE MY FACE HURTS!

!!! Hulu.com has Gundam Wing !!!

In passing the time until it’s time to go back to work, I’ve been fluttering across the Internet. Right now, I’ve just had a huge smile brought to my face! –> Hulu has all the Gundam Wing episodes!!!!!

This show was my first introduction to the Gundam franchise, I remember sitting on my bed room floor in a huge pile of LEGO bricks when this hit Toonami; I was like 12. my geekish nature has kind of always been there, but it’s really been impacted by an interest in  Mecha. In my life, there’s only been a few to really catch my gaz deeply in that regard. The little known film: Robot Jox, ’80s RoboTech (particularly the Macross Saga), and Mobile Suit Gundam: Wing.

What else could have gotten a kid all but wanting to camp out in front of books and calculators near 24/7, studying every ounce of information he could on technology—except trying to figure out how to design a ‘mech lol.

I’ve always told myself, someday I’m buying the series on DVD… hehe.

Conquest, War, Famine, and Death

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

When you write a hash table look up using function call syntax in the morning, you know that it must be time for lunch!

It’s actually comforting to be able to look over my commit and merge logs for the past two weeks and see how much stuff I’ve gotten done. When combined with the rest of my work flow, it’s especially helpful in keeping track what’s left to do, and finding what else needs doing lol.

I must say though, that I’m looking forward to the weekend: tomorrow I get to sleep past dawn!!!! Can’t say what is worse really, staying in bed as long as possible to minimize my mothers opportunities to annoy me, or having to roll out of bed ahead of the dawn in order to get on the pinhead express ASAP. My bodies gotten used to the concept go to bed by N, wake up by M, and I make sure that N includes enough hours for me to actually fall alseep. Ohh, I can hardly wait until the move is over.

Currently:

  • First alarm at 0600
  • Failsafe alarm at 0615
  • Reach the nearest Interstate before 0700, preferably be on the next Interstate by then.
  • Come to a grinding halt as soon as Cobb County enters the picture, if it’s a /good/ day!
  • Wish they would blow the GA-400 of doom off the cotton pickin’ map.
  • Soar from just past the GA-400 exit all the way to my exit, a couple up the bypass.
  • Wrestle through yet more pinheads for a half hour or more worth of traffic, regularly backed up 3-lights long.
  • Reach work ~112km/70mi away, sometime between 0800 and 0830.
  • Go bananas until lunch cica 1100’ish.
  • Have to remember I need to get out of here around 1600 if I’m going to reach the I-75 **** **** before ************ pinheads back up traffic to several cities beyond where I work.
  • hope to get home around 1800-1815.

Future:

  • Drift out of bed sometime after 0800
  • Get to work sometime near 0900
  • Casually drift through bumper to bumper to damn bumper traffic with a smile.
  • Leave roughly 8 hours later
    • Enjoy being able to stay later if I’m focused on some project.
    • Figure out something to do if the traffic is worse than ever.
  • Go back to bumper to bumper traffic for 16~18km/10-12mi on the way home.
  • Not have to give a crap when I go to bed, as long as dawns still several hours away.
People are getting on edge about the rising cost of petrol, me? Well, I calculated that subject to traffic, after everything is done, my fuel budget would become about $200/month if petrol reaches $5/gal. That’s a major shit load less than what I’ve been spending a month, and my last budget was balanced to $3.20/gal and average actual costs around $2.90/gal-$3/gal.
So I’m gonna have a crude grin on my face if this works lol.

Need to live a little

Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate
Spilled hot coffee, down the front of my jeans
It’s work, work, pay the rent, money and my time’s spent
Not a minute left for me to be me

Been going like nothing can wait
I gotta get my priorities straight

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little, love a lot

Friday night, here we go, do a little do-si-do
Kick back, have a laugh, catch my breath
Tell the band slow it down, there she is, think I found
Maybe Ms. Wonderful, I haven’t met yet

It just hit me like a wrecking ball
She’s giving me a wake up call

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little, love a lot

Step back, smell the rose
Feel the sand between your toes
Unplug, unwind
Step out in the sunshine

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Take the girl, get a map and pick any old dot
Live a little, we need to live a little, love a lot

When you get about 20 + jockies out of about 30 some special infected, you know that it’s time to quit while you’re still ahead taller than a zombie midget!

Well it has finally come to pass: my mother is setup with an instant messager. Now of I can get her to use it instead of leaving me a steam of voice mails.

I also find it awesome how my phone tried to complete “blvd voice mails” to me fails!!!
