yesterday was april fool’s day, but i did not have an elaborate gag set up for the day, nor did i really play any pratical jokes on anyone. the joy that i used to get playing jokes on others is just not there anymore. i’m not sure what happened. there were a few april fool’s day jokes that may have gone a little too far in the past so i’ve decided to tone it down and just let the day pass by.

i’ve been trying out a new schedule at work these past few weeks. today, i got into the office at 6:46. yes, 6:46 in the AM. i’m thinking that i ought to be able to leave by around 3ish then. what i’m finding is that i get so tired when i get home that i end up napping for a few hours. i’m not sure if that’s really all that cool, but i think that i end up napping because i have nothing else to do.
so the routine appears to be:
5:30AM — wake up, get ready
6:00AM — leave apartment for work
7:00AM — arrive at work
3:00PM — leave work
4:00PM — arrive at home, go to sleep
7:00PM — wake up, start evening
1:00AM — go back to sleep
i’m not sure if that’s a routine that i like…it still seems like a waste of the afternoon. hmmm, i guess i’ll have to try and stay up and sleep earlier. trying to distribute my sleep over two sleep cycles in a day is kind of weird for me.
the nice thing is that i can run errands during the day now, though. that’s quite an added benefit for me. yesterday, i stopped by compusa to pick up the hard drive for the xbox mod. i’m not sure what i’m going to do today, but i’m sure that something will come up.
my mom and my sister gave me [url=http://www.oneaday.com/]a bottle of one-a-day men’s health formula[/url] and [url=http://www.drugstore.com/qxp16753_333181_sespider/amlactin_12/moisturizing_lotion.htm]AmLactin lotion[/url]. though not as bad as previous years where my mom gave me hair tonic because she thought that i was balding, i don’t quite understand why they give me these kind of health products.
are they implying that i don’t look healthy? are they implying that they don’t think that i’m eating well and my diet needs this supplement? are they saying that my skin looks rough and dry? ummm…yeah.
after work today i went to compusa to pick up the current hard drive sale. this is all in part for the xbox hacking that i’m planning to do soon. the modchip is on its way and i’m reading up on how to install linux and other interesting things onto the xbox. i decided to get a 200GB hard drive. i originally was going to go much smaller, but with the hard drive sale, i guess it can never really hurt to have more hard drive space than less.
i still haven’t opened the xbox that my friends gave me, though. i guess that i should open it. my brother even lent me some xbox games that he has so that i can play…i just haven’t gotten around to setting up the xbox to play the games. all in due time, i suppose.
i think that i have everything i need for the mod, it’s just a matter of time for the xbox modchip to come to me. ahhh, come here, chippy!

as someone had suggested, i downloaded azureus, the java bittorrent client. i must say that the client is very pretty and it is everything that i would expect a p2p client to be. so, so much better than bittornado.
performance appears to be better with this client as well, so that makes me reasonably happy. we’ll see how it goes. i guess my first experience with bittorrent is also a little unfair because i’m downloading a 7GB torrent.

i’ve ordered the mod chip for the xbox and now i just need to buy a hard drive for the blasted thing so that i can get on my merry way. i was thinking that i may end up installing linux on it, just for fun. and the more and more i think about it, the idea of making it a media center is becoming more attractive. maybe that’s what this mod will ultimately end up doing.
it’s kind of freaky buying a mod chip, there seem to be a lot of sketchy places out there selling them…but then again, i guess modding your xbox to begin with is kind of sketchy.

i seem to have lost my cell phone. i’m not sure when i last saw it, but i think it could have been last thursday. where oh where did my cell phone go?
i guess i don’t use it enough to notice it missing until now. =P
oh yeah, i forgot to mention that my brother and i went to tonight’s warriors game where they beat down LA and won the game. it’s always nice to watch the warriors play AND see them win. the last time i saw them do that, they played the LA lakers. this time, it was the LA clippers. heh. heh. the clippers.
but still, the game was a lot of fun (thanks thanh for the tickets!) and we had great seats. i don’t know if i can ever go to a basketball game again with bad tickets. it’s just too cool to have the super treatment.

my brother and i were waxing philosophical differences about women. he believes that there are two things common to all women: they are all needy and all jealous.
heh.
