Eriq’s Blag

Yeah, so the US History AP was today, it sucked, but it’s over…that means that the workload in the class goes *poof*…HELL YES!!!

I forgot to write about the fact that I saw Iron man. In short it was aweome. Slightly longer, it was awesomazing. I went with my friends Alex, Harlan, and Trung. Did I mention it was awesomazing? If you haven’t seen it you should.

So, apparently my poem “Exactly” was chosen to be in some high school poetry anthology. This came as a surprise to me, especially because I couldn’t remember what it was about. Turns out it’s this:

Too young.

Too young for what?

Just

Too

Young.

Oh.

We keep walking.

My friend Aaron and I were supposed to be listening to conversations around school to find a good quote on which to base a poem. I guess we looked into a middle school classroom and that’s what Arron said, “too young.”

This is definitely the best “Meet the…” so far.

Even though “The Princess Bride” is my favorite movie, I’ve never read The Princess Bride. At least, not until now. I bought a copy on Friday and started reading it. There are two reasons why the movie was so good. First, the screenplay was written by William Goldman, the same person who wrote the book, so there’s non of that “I’m going to interpret this differently” bullshit. Second, (and this leads off from the first) the movie is not a rewritten version of the book, it’s an abridgement, albeit there are a few word choice variations, but for the most part, it all happens and is said in the same way. Both of which are a good thing, the advantage of reading the book is that it gives more background for the characters, so not only do you love the characters, but you also know them.

I haven’t posted much lately. As I said, I’m lazy.

However, I finally uploaded the Bio video:

Well, I don’t really feel like posting much more about my computer right now other than IT’S FUCKING AWESOMAZING!

It came, I built, I conquered. More tomorrow…

My new monitor came today. It is fucking sexy. 19″, 1680×1050 max resolution (apparently unusual for 19inchers), 5ms response time. It looks fabulous. I’d take a picture, but I’m too lazy.

Today I got some 9v battery connectors to make it easier to change the batteries. I realized afterward that in doing this I detracted from the iShit’s “hackedness” by which I mean I bought parts instead of cannibalizing some other electronics. Oh well, it still looks like shit on the outside. This alsoshowcases my new carrying case for it which makes it a dance party on the go. It has been tested and the verdict is good.
