my replacement power supply is on the way and should be shipped to me today. it’s very exciting. after a week of not being able to use my laptop, i’m very excited to get it charged back and restored to its former glory.

in this week, i’ve realized that my old laptop is pretty slow, but it is functional. i finally got it to play back videos so that sort of makes it more bearable. i’m not sure what i would do with it, though, i think that i’ve been spoiled with the speed of my new laptop.

fox has finally aired the first episode of the second season of tru calling! now, i’m not sure what it was about this show that i loved last season, but i sort of thought that this first episode was a little awkward.

oh well, i hope that it continues to air and do well. otherwise, that’s another show that i will have to ax from my ever-growing list of shows to watch.

i haven’t had a chance to blog about it yet, but i thought that the superbowl halftime show was really, really bad. am i the only one who felt this way? completely unexciting, boring, and just way out of vogue.

oh well, at least it was safe.

and the pregame show…did anyone else notice that it was called the best darn super bowl road show? well, golly gee, wilbur, look at that.

i was watching celebrity poker and chris kattan was on it. this episode reaffirms my belief that chris kattan is a jerk. he was nothing but rude and mean on the show and i suspect that this is why his celebrity has faded into obscurity.

went to rudy’s last night in palo alto. there was some drinking to be done and some dancing afterwards. i never really noticed rudy’s, but there’s a $5 cover for guys, girls get in free. i had a rum and coke to start the night off and then a surprisingly large shot of patron later on. i’m not sure what it was, but that shot of patron did a number on me. man, talk about being a lightweight. we stayed there until about 1 and then i started to get sleepy. i don’t know if it is because i’m getting old or what, but i had to go and sleep.

way too much information than i think i needed to know. i’ve always been sort of a curious child and this curiosity has sometimes led me to find out things that i didn’t need to know.

you’d think that because i’ve found out too much, i’d stop, but still, it’s like a moth to a flame. i just can’t help it.

i remember a long, long time ago, i was talking to a friend of mine back in high school. we were talking about a friend of ours who he reffered to as “having a golden boot shoved up his ass.” i had never heard this expression before, so i asked my friend to explain it. he told me that basically it means that he’s had everything handed to him on a silver platter and his perfect life was not earned, but rather through just given to him.

i feel that people like this don’t really understand the world. they have these false expectations that things should just happen and they feel that if something doesn’t happen their way, then something is very wrong. if you’ve lived a charmed life like that, your expectations are just insanely unrealistic.

i think one of the frustrating things that i see is that i put a lot of work and energy in the things i do to get to where i am…and so when i see other people just handed certain things in their life, i feel like it’s wildly unfair. surely there must be justice in the world, right?

i was really thirsty the other day and i went to 7-eleven to get a drink. imagine my surprise when i saw the double gulp size. sure, i’ve seen super gulp, but double gulp? nearly 2 liters of soft drink joy.

[url=http://www.track15.com/blog/archives/2005/02_01.html#000474]entries like this[/url] remind me of the days when talking to a girl filled me up with fear and butterflies. it’s all the joys and pains of dawson’s creek and more.

he just leaves it all out there…sometimes it’s too much information, but most of the time it’s the boldness of writing without worrying about what others think.

nine ramens down…11 more to go?

oh man, i don’t know if i can handle eating that much ramen. i’ve slowed down to two a week, so at this rate, it means that i’ll have another 5 weeks of ramen eating to do…woe is me.
