The Weird IMs Strike Back

November 20, 2005 — Internet and Miscellaneous. 2 Comments

Yet again, I’ve recieved weird IMs. For some reason, I don’t know who this “yourhotmamaxx3″ is, but it seems familiar.

AIM IM with yourhotmamaxx3.
yourhotmamaxx3: HI..!
yourhotmamaxx3: hi
yourhotmamaxx3: do u remember me??
yourhotmamaxx3: Shahid.. are you there it seems as if you don’t remember me
yourhotmamaxx3: are you there?? ok .. fine if you don’t remember me then it ok.. i changed my screenname and also c you at school
yourhotmamaxx3: bye
yourhotmamaxx3: mizz and kizz you.. this is your secert crush
yourhotmamaxx3: bye

Pretty weird, if you ask me. Of course, it could just be a friend trying to mess with me. I’m gonna have to look into it later. Maybe at school.

Retro Goodies

October 27, 2005 — Miscellaneous, Notes, Personal and Shopping. 3 Comments

The holidays are close by and I’m thinking about what I want. There’s Eid, which is next week, Hanukkah and Christmas, both of which are on December 25. There’s also Kwanzaa and Diwali (I think).

This year, I’ve decided to make my wishlist a bit retro.

I’m planning on getting myself a Lomo LC-A, if I can save up enough money. It’s a really nice vintage Russian camera from like 1982 that’s been discontinued.

I also want a game for my olde NES. Preferably the Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and World Class Track Meet 3-in-1, since that’s what I should’ve gotten with my Nintendo.

Today, I saw that the Adventures of Pete & Pete was on DVD. The second season is coming to DVD next week. I remember seeing a few episodes as a little kid. The one I can best recall was one where little Pete tried to save time for Daylight Savings or something like that.

The last thing I want is Super Skeet. It’s this old game they used to have ads for. I was so little, I didn’t know what it was called. Just knew it was cool and you shot at ducks that were on your wall.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve enable Gravatar support, so sign already!

Today in School

October 12, 2005 — Education, Miscellaneous and Personal. 1 Comment

Today, I had to take the PSAT in school, just as Lou did. It was sort of easy, except for the fact that I had no practice whatsoever for the test.

It’s been raining quite a lot in New York lately. Today, I saw two of the stupidest things I’ve every seen people do in rain. I saw a girl walking in pouring rain with a hoodie on, but nothing covering her head. I also saw this other girl walking with her Walkman out as if it weren’t raining. Weird, the things people do.

Stella is Stellar

July 12, 2005 — Miscellaneous and Television. 2 Comments

Lately, I’ve been watching Stella. I really like it, and it’s currently my favorite TV show. I barely watch anything for more than 5 minutes on TV. I’ve been a fan of Michael Ian Black since I saw him on I Love the [...].

I hope the show stays on air for a while. It seems like one of those awesome shows that get a whole lot of promotion, but air for barely a season. I’m probably gonna buy the DVD when/if it comes out.

Darn Ethernet Cable

July 8, 2005 — Apple, Geeky, Miscellaneous and Personal. 2 Comments

I was upgrading my wireless router’s firmware last night, so I had to connect my PowerBook to the router with an ethernet cable. My good ones were connected to my cable modem and my old PC, so I decided to use the one that came supplied with my cable modem and guess what? This morning, I tried to take it out and it’s stuck inside my PowerBook! Thanks to Google, I found a forum thread about similar experiences, but I can’t find anything that’ll fit above the cable.

Update: Fortunately, this piece of a binder clip saved me.

Also took care of the ethernet cable.
