I Hate iPod (23 of 26)

The SaintJul 26th, 2006Posted by The Saint on

So as stated before my external hard drive half died. All attempts to rebuild the structure failed. First I had to transfer all 2000-ish tracks, that took a couple hours. The other fun part is that ipod doesn’t keep the files as is. Tracks are sorted into numbered folders at random. In addition, some file names are not changed. But others are truncated and some are changed to a random combination of 4 letters. I think last night I go through maybe 160 tracks. It’ll speed up once I have all the folders set up for each individual album.

I also put some of The Circuit tracks onto my ipod to listen to at my job. But, none of the tags had been filled in, so I had to scroll thru every letter to get to T.

Everyone remembers the horse head scene from The Godfather. Turns out someone thought that might be a good idea. Not mentioned in the article, but I heard on the radio this morning. About a couple days earlier, a “adult toy” had been glued to this person’s car.

BUT FIRST,
So you can go here to see how well I fared during the black out. That apparently used all the like I had for the day. My external hard disk decided to un-format itself. At the moment my music is still safe on my ipod, though it would be a pain if I had to extract the music from there. All the pictures I had stockpiled in the last 3 years are gone as well as all my schoolwork from the last two years. Looking into data rescue options. I’m apparently in the best situation you could be in if you just had a disk become inaccessible. I can still start my computer since the OS is on the unaffected disk. Also nothing has been written to corrupt the data. Updates to follow.

Now for the fun part. I started playing 100nl (6max) in the beginning of February. I started with a pretty good run. But then , the fact that I don’t know how to play made itself know. The bellow graph is my play since the start of 100nl. WWWEEEEE!!!!
all 100nl 6max

At about 22 thousand hands I noticed I had just hit a milestone in hand count. Then noticed the big red numbers on the screen. (The sick thing is tanks to bonuses and rakeback, I managed to almost be in the black for that stretch.) Based on this I went and stopped by 2+2 and begged for comments (link).

As you might notice, I’m doing well since then. I’m not gonna say all of that is me playing well, but I did pick up a lot from my 20k Checkup. There was a lot of hands that I wasn’t raising nearly enough pre-flop. I wasn’t paying enough attention to when I was continuing on the flop. I was continuing A LOT. All this comes together to mean I get myself in a lot of tough spots with weak holdings. Getting called when I’m behind and not getting called with my strong hands.

I’m a little hesitant to start seriously looking at playing 200nl, but I’m close to the right roll and from what random times I played, I didn’t see a lot of difference.

Here’s to Poker and Playing Well. Note: not to good luck, to playing well.

I’m all for paying attention to the intention and tone behind what is said and not the words employed. However, when one is the president of a major world power and one is at the G8 Conference, one needs to be aware of the fact that there will be microphones.

“…what they need to do is to get Syria, to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.”

Due to the fact that I went to the concert, my name got added to a mailing index for a certain Rock magazine. Today (I began writing the entry the day before Monday, but then decided it would be +ev to complete the Party award.) my family went to Deer Lake, which gave me a lot of free time. I knew I didn’t intend on going in the water, therefore, I needed to keep me occupied. I opted to read the magazine, I brought all three. Each magazine had a very good featured article. They featured Johnny Depp, Pearl Jam and the other contained the Red Hot Chili [plural of Pepper]. I found it captivating when I compared Pearl Jam to the [plural of Pepper]. They are both coming off a break (the Pearl Jam break extended for a longer period) and have recently put out an album. The whole “I’ve lived with the people in the band forever. We needed time to alone before we could come back and hang out together and really enjoy making new material.” You forget how old they really are.
I learned on [the day before Monday] that Eddie Vedder, during their break, made an attempt to write techno. He had an E habit at the time and decided he could try to write material while high. He mentioned that it didn’t turn out to be that good, but he did enjoy the E.

Excuse me, I’m pissing. Can you please shut up until I’m washing my hands.

Finished watching the gay cowboy movie. It wasn’t bad, but was slow to get going. The ending was slow again, but I think it did a good job of putting emphasis on the difficult situation Ennis was left with. I noticed that most of the sex in the movie was somewhat heated and tough, even with the wives. I haven’t decided what that is supposed to mean yet, but it’s a thought. It wouldn’t have been as big if people had stopped being stupid and accepted homosexuality.

The Beach Zone (17 of 26)

Went to Seaside to visit Lilly and stay with her family because they came from Florida to New Jersey to go to the beach. As a result, I got a nice little sunburn on my back. I decided to turn to the power of MS Paint to show something and try and see if we could figure out how this happened.
The following is a picture of my back.

The orange section is the sunburn. Everything outside of the sunburn is my pale white irish skin. Everything outside of the blue circle is parts of my back I can touch. Everything outside of the green circle is the parts of my back which I have since successfully lathered with lotion. Can some one explain to me how I managed to miss such a big section of my back, when I can clearly cover most of my back?

Another point of interest is the fact that I met a guy that is that knows two of my best friends, yet neither of these friends have met each other.

All weekend Sci-Fi ran a Twilight Zone marathon (excluding the hour of 10pm last night, that was wrestling). I’ve never really watched any episodes before so it was very interesting. The show does lots of suspense and loves endings. So, with no surprised, I really enjoyed it.
“The Hitch-Hiker” – I was expecting more out of the sailor. When he learned of the man, he seemed like he was uneasy because of the man, turns out it was just the woman that was putting him off.
“The Bewitchin’ Pool” – The voice-overs were really distracting.
“Uncle Simon” – OH MY GOD, PWNED!!!
“To Serve Man” – Unfortunately, only got to see the end. Tasty, imo.
“Number Twelve Looks Just like You” – Very good. People need to learn how to hide better.
I saw a couple others, looking forward to seeing more.
