So, I’m tired as hell of living in this shithole that I live in. It’s messy and disgusting, and on top of it all it’s really lonely over here, since all the people I know live in one of the residence halls on the other side of campus.
Now, to move would require an extemely large sum of money. How large, you ask? Large. As in around $4000. Now I just happen to have a way to get this kind of money. But there’s a catch.
There’s always a catch.
This would be all of my spending money for the next year. All of it, almost every dime, leaving me with about $300 to fend on for the duration.
So should I stay in the Forgotten Hall, Lonelyland, and be rich; or should I spend every dime I’ve got and move to somewhere nice and clean and friendly and full of interesting people?
Mav’s Photo Tours: Moscow, Idaho - Page One
Here you go, folks. My currently-accumulated four pages worth of photos of the Moscow Adventure. Rest assured that there will be more added in the future. These pages are absolutely not 56K friendly so if you’re dialing in prepare for long, long waits.
HOEP I GOT TEN BUX!! LOL
HOLY SHIT!
I’m off the net for a couple of days and look what happens. Fuckin’ Denial gets a fuckin’ near-first-post (in thread view, it’s ’second post’) and gets it +5 Funny modded. God damn, something really fucked is happening in Twin Falls.
I’ve got a metric shitload of digicam pix to post, and a bit of a story to tell. Although it’s not a particularly exciting story. Oh well, you’re going to read it anyway, and you’re going to like it, or you’re going to bed all week without dinner. So there.
In the interim, why don’t you just eat all the ice cream you can.
Slashdot | Dell To Offer Windows-Less PCs
Those of you that know me also know that I am not a big fan of big brands, and I am particularly not fond of Dell.
Well, if they wanted to score any brownie points with people like me, they just succeeded.
So it’s been and gone, and I’ve had a couple of days to digest it.
As far as I can determine, it was the biggest lan I’ve ever had here. Hell, it was bigger than a couple of our XG events. Here’s the final tally:

I recieved some words of wisdom from a friend. Thanks very much, I try to remind myself of that every day. It’s way too easy to let your fear and doubt control you. When used in your favor, your fear can be a great weapon; but it can be more alluring than great power, and one must always keep that in mind.
So this weekend is my farewell lan. Or rather, our farewell lan, as the four of us that are headed to Moscow (Dave, Steve, Chris and I) are all going to be here. I’m expecting a huge turnout, people that normally come to a lan once in a millenia (Jeff, Dan, Endo maybe?) are planning on being here. Should be an event to remember.
No updates until Sunday, probably. Go have a beer. It’s Friday.
The next person to say “ah, you’ll do just fine” did, in fact, not get their ass whupped on the spot.
Call me a pussy if you want, but he was just a friend trying to be encouraging. However misplaced, I can use all the encouragement I can get right now.
So here I sit, amongst a forest of stuff and empty Pepsi cans, staring at the screen vacantly. My brain has officially had it. I’ve been thinking about this school thing nonstop for… eight months now, and I’m tired. So very tired.
My house is starting to look like somebody’s moving out, which is a real change from the somebody’s moving in look it has managed to sustain for the last seven years, and I am fucking freaked out.
I am leaving my friends, my family, the only home I’ve ever known, and going where, for what? I’m going to a place that I’ve only seen twice, to do something that I don’t understand why I’m doing, and I’m going to be moving into a place sight unseen - literally, not even pictures. You’re goddamn right I’m freaking out. I’m scared shitless.
The next person that says “Ah, you’ll be fine” is going to get their ass whipped on the spot.
So I’ve been part of the Pocket PC community now for about a week - last Saturday, Rabid handed me his iPaq 3630. I’ve fallen madly in love with this machine, but as I feared, many in the PocketPC community are profit hungry assholes that just want to make a quick buck.
But there are a few community people and sites worth mentioning. And there are some tips you really need to know. Here they are, in no particular order.
