Regrets

tido — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:13:26 +0000

After being introduced to Glee today, I’ve realized how much fun I should have had during my younger days. Soon to be 26, engaged and working, I have lived little.

Stuff I should’ve done while I had the chance:

Be more creative
Play in a band
Travel more
Join a glee club

I think high schools in Norway do little to encourage people to engage in extracurricular activities. There are no activity clubs, and the schools are so small that outcasts really are outcasts and not some clique with peculiar interests.

Of course, that shouldn’t have prevented me from doing any of these things during my uni years. After five and a half years of my life, what do I have to show for it?

A bachelor’s degree
A master’s degree
A fiancé
Mediocre skills in first-person shooters
A refined taste for RPGs
A respectable collection of pink links

Meh~

For the lack of better things to say

Harajuku

Whilst walking through Youngstorget last Sunday, I met a bunch of cosplayers hanging around the fountain. I overheard some of them talking about losing the game. I don’t know what’s worse: That they’re probably hanging out every Sunday like the kids in Harajuku (though the quality over there is way better), or the fact that I recognized more than half of the characters AND understood their lingo.

By the way, YOU just lost the game.

As fate would have it, my house is full of troubles.

Went to the US a few weeks back to visit my grandparents. It was supposed to be fun, and it was quite fun until we came back. A few weeks before this trip, my fiancé stayed here with me and … actually, I’d rather not talk about this here.

Life aside, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is great. Meanwhile, Tales of Monkey Island is off to a pretty good start. Pre-ordered the whole thing in order to get my hands on those collector’s DVD. Man, I’m a sucker for them. As if my life needs more things in it. Probably why I went and got myself a PSP as well. Not really impressed with the screen; it has problems with interlacing and it’s somewhat blurry. Not quite what I expected after all the bashing on the DS. Sure things look better on it, but from the impression I got, it should’ve been a hell lot better.

Considering a new phone. Current phone sucks.

Got an offer at work I could not refuse. Missed out on it because of work policy. Sucks.

Pro ISP officially sucks. One of their “technicians” “accidentally” ran a chmod command that fucked up my entire site. Fucking newb. After apparently “fixing” it, my entire wiki farm is now broken. Sure I can read it, but I can’t add or edit an article.

The “technician” fucked up on the 25th. Today is the 27th and I still haven’t heard from them since the “fix”. I haven’t had access to my wiki for almost three full days now. Fuckers.

Be the best you can

Moving

tido — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:15:10 +0000

We’re finally selling our old apartment. 25 years of memories, soon becoming distant.

You can find the prospect here.

By the way

Got my MA officially on Thursday. There were much rejoicing.

Watch over us

Eh…

Work is so so, but that is to be expected when you start pretty much from scratch. I’ll get somewhere, soon. I hope. Still waiting for a date to prepare for my thesis defense.

I have been neglecting a lot of my friends lately, not that I have so many in the first place. Note to self: Call friends.

Been satisfying my materialistic desires:
- Apple Keyboard (the one with anodized aluminum, cabled)
- Fallout 3 (yes, it is awesome)
- new monitor (full HD with component and HDMI, sweet!!)

Windows 7 (though beta) is awesome (so far).

The new Seagate 7200.12 hard drives are THIN (even the sales dude was awesomized).

Mother’s day this week. Got gift last week. Well prepared.

Valentine’s day next week. Need gift. May prove too difficult to handle.
