24" lcd

(updated 03.27) omg it’s here (it came yesterday actually), it’s so hawt, like a big tv in front of my, will post pics later, it’s so… gawd it’s so awesome lol ^^ it sits so big on my desk (and that’s remioromen – akanesora PV), and it moves around, and and… man it’s so great, what’s funny is, i put 3 lcds side by side, with my old benq 19″, my dad’s 20″ widescreen, and the 24″, and when you look at it in person, the 20″ feels the smallest, widescreen size are lying to you! unless you have one like my

out of the box

hello lcd

comparison

so pretty

it was so close to my bday, and i’ve been waiting for the day to come, so i just had to spoil myself a bit, and also max out my visa at the same time, but dell is having the 10 day sale/deal thing again, and what’s on the first day? the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP for $649, 200 off (well actually the main deal is Sanyo 5.8Ghz dual handset for $59, which i bought too), and to think, about 2 years ago i bought my 19″ benq lcd for just $50 less

if anyone wants a ds lite still, get it today, because (white or black) ds lite + super mario bro for only 139, and $0 shipping i think, and for some reason, i just remembered now, i had a dream about finding a white psp on the train

im advertising for dell, i should get something for it

i feel like

writing something, but i dont exactly have a specific thing to talk about, so here it goes

i really should fix up this website

i hate my hw, and i like how i put hw that’s due tmrw as non-top-priority ;p and i’m doing so bad in school, i can’t wait til it’s over

i don’t wanna buy a new car, but i do, but i wanna move out, so i don’t drive 6000 km in 3 – 4 months

i wanna upgrade my comp, but it’s like… what’s the pt, i havn’t even play guildwars for like a WHOLE week

i think i wanna invest in mutual funds, gabe you got me, only cause you’re going to guarantee me 2% return up to 248% (which then we can go live downtown afterwards)

happy birthday to my baby, you know there’s no way i wouldn’t go see you on your day, i’d bike if i had to, hope your day still ended good, now go study

oh and we’re going to cuba, anyone want anything? cigars are already taken, rums?

it’s 10:30, better get started on my hw

bbq on the weekend!

she’s uber, so is pussycat dolls

so many kids, in ugh. outfits, i bought a $25 program, yay… lol gg, more pics in flickr (it took me 30 min to remember my login)

risks

the rare occasion that i read the newspaper, i thought this is kinda interesting (the risk you live with, vancouver sun, mar 9th), there’s lots of stuff, and all these are by stats, not like it’ll actually be that dangerous

ironworkers/miners/paramedics have 1 in 6 chances of being injured – the most dangerous job we have, while cookes/janitors/prison guard have the same chances (1 in 17), a retail sales clerk has more chances of being injured (1 in 41) than a police officer (1 in 43), and bartending is even more (1 in 39)! and pet groomers (1 in 27)! and if you are a business manager or investment dealer, you’re injure free (1 in ~10000)

there are more falling off a cliff (1 in 20560) than mauled by an animal (1 in 22617), and willius you gotta stop mowing lawns (1 in 226165), it’s too much risk

average age of death is 73.8, you have 99.9% of dying before age 105, unless you’re age 100 already, you have 1.1% chance dying before 30 if you’re already past 20! 1 in 3 have cancer or heart disease, but people who died of cancer actually live about 8 years longer, you have 1 in 12 chance of dying of lung cancer by stats (of course this doesn’t apply if you’re non smoker), gg smokers

the chance of you being murdered is 1 in 35000, but more than 80% are done by someone the victim knows

(everyone should know flying is way safer than driving anyway) after 9.11, people were so scared of flying, everyone drove for about a year and resulted in ~1500 unnecessary deaths in car accidents – more than 5 times the number of 4 plans in 9.11

1 in 2 million that we will get destroyed by an asteroid, and 1 in 9 that a uber ultra 9+ earthquake will hit lower mainland in next 50 years, gg? no wait, 1 in 4 that a uber 7+ quake will hit in next 50 years

oh and, white men are about 10% less afraid of things than white women or any other people (called the “white male effect”) – so skywalker is atleast 10% less afraid than rest of the dotsquad? ;p

but i need to make a phone call, and maybe go bbt

so, i switched to vista about 3 days ago…

end of discussion, period

hah well my comp was going nuts, and it was overdue for a format anyway, so here’s the result so far (running vista ultimate – with aero, on amd athlon 64 3400+, 1 gig ram, ati aiw 9800 pro):

  • i have no drivers for anything except my vid car, but luckily everything worked – vid/sound/wireless/keyboard/mouse (i can’t use the extra logitech keyboard buttons though)
  • guildwars runs fine ^^
  • photoshop i dont know yet
  • it comes with a billion windows something program that i dont need
  • i didn’t know how to use the system when it was first installed, seriously, i didn’t know where to click to find stuff, start menu is all changed again
  • apparently my phone software won’t work (said so from the check) so we’ll see when i installed it
  • it uses like 10 gig i think, and more resources too, but atleast task manager tells you what each process do
  • it supports resume on download! (maybe that’s ie7 though)
  • aero is… kinda cool? and it comes with gadgets on the side, just like mac
  • oh and i like windows media player too, surprisingly

more to come later, atleast it hasn’t crashed on me yet

03.04.07

man you can’t change like… stuff in your start menu, and even moving things into a folder requires “admin privilege”, everything requires double confirmation almost, and a lot of times after i installed something, it’d say “this did not install properly would you like to reinstall?” and i go, “no it did install properly”, or “this program has stopped working”, “ok”, go vista

and more importantly, Pop diva Hikaru Utada divorces director husband Kazuaki Kiriya
