Only 10%

Saw Iron Man today. It was better than I would expect from your typical comic book adaption. In fact, I thought it was great.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 was, well, not much of a huge difference. Except from the fact that I no longer have to download tons of updates after a reformat, there aren’t that much to see on the surface. They STILL don’t have AHCI drivers included, so you will have to force-install those post-setup. Apart from that, I guess it’s just Windows XP refreshed.

On a totally unrelated note, these are the registry tweaks I use on my Windows Vista laptop. I’ve uploaded it here not for you, but for me. Feel free to use it though.

A bullet-shaped hole where my heart used to be

The light from my monitors are the only lights that reflect off the bare walls of my empty room. The late nights of pointlessness are back, but at least this time, I’m trying to use it for something more recreational. Or at least I’d like to think so.

Whatever happened to the warm, fuzzy feeling inside when walking in the sun during summer, I wonder? The good feeling you get when the sunrays hit your shoulders through your t-shirt, all while you try your very best to cling onto your most treasured in your feeble hands? Nowadays, it feels like an echo of the past. Routines are what they’ve become, like doing the dishes after dinner or catching two episodes of The Simpsons every evening at 1900. It is boring. But it used to be fun, for a while.

Sometimes I wonder if the late nights ever went away. Have I always felt this demotivated? I no longer know for sure, if that really matters for anything anymore.

Hello w0rld!

Wheeeeeeeeeee!! Got too lazy to make my own shit. Besides, why re-invent the wheel, right? Figured I should probably concentrate on creating my profile rather than trying to do everything by myself (maybe I’ll try skinning my blog some time though). Anyways, until next time:

And then she was like… and I was like “awesome!” Then she was like “I know!!”

Totally.

Totally awesome!
