Y2 D289

Before I start whining about my pathetic life, a word of sadness and peace to everyone in Japan. My life my suck, but at least I am not dealing with an 8.8 earthquake. Jeez. I have been looking at video and watching the effects this morning and that was one hell of an earthquake. I woke up this morning to tsunami warnings where I live. Reality however is something else. Waves were ONE FOOT bigger. OH NO RUN FOR THE HILLS.

Now that I have been 'nice' my first thought while watching the news was 'Learn to swim...'. Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Didn't leave the house again yesterday. I haven't even bothered to shave in two days. Why bother? I started talking to myself yesterday which isn't good. I don't mean pretending to be talking to the cat while really talking to myself, no I straight up was talking to myself out loud.  Nice. I am losing it completely.

Why can't an earthquake hit here? Maybe it will. That would be interesting for sure. A good 7 or 8. Knock some sense into things.

(oh fuck it, time to play Aenima. It's stuck in there anyway...)

Back to my pathetic life. Yes, this is all about me. It's my fucking blog, isn't it? Anyway, worked on client shit, sat around. Did more with the old laptop in the evening. I did finish copying and organizing the pictures I recovered. In total after deleting a bunch of shit I didn't want to look at any more and getting rid of duplicates, I ended up with 37,000 pictures going as far back as 2001. 10 years ago. Look at how fat I was. Look at how much fucking hair I had. Look at how young the kid was. Look at my wife... oh wait...

I then made a backup of the drive. I have that one connected to the old laptop. A second one contains music and movies. I now have both of those situated on the laptop. Tonight when I am done working, I am going to shoehorn it all into the entertainment center and see how well it does. It is one step towards eliminating cable/satellite in the house. Once I have a little money again, I am going to get a USB TV tuner to hook up to it. That with the OTA antenna I am looking at, should get me 90% of the TV I watch currently. If I add a hulu plus account for $10 a month, then my cost goes from $89 a month (80 for dtv + 9 for netflix) to $19 (10 for hulu, 9 for netflix). Between those two, streaming live episodes from the broadcasters, and an OTA antenna I should be covered. It's a test. We shall see how it works.

Ok, done rambling. Off to work and more talking to myself.
