island tales #56
went back a bit later than usual yesterday, since i was, uh, voluntereed into driving another intern home. :P actually it wasnt very far, just had to wait til he was done at 7pm. managed to squeeze some work into the extra time though. *pats self on the head*
* * * * *
had a Good Game of dota last night, playing as a Treant Protector (i never understood the name. im pretty sure the only person protected is.. himself..). actually we lost in the end, but that's okay, it was close enough, and they were forced to break the throne straight, with one rax still standing, while we had two of their raxes down and had the slight edge. excellent considering we were holding the losing end of the stick right up to middle game.. HAH! :P
not easy to play treant, balanar and panda versus terrorblade, lion and chaos knight, okay?? :D
in other news... the computer people finally called. hm. they said the board can be repaired by the manufacturers, which would be cheaper than buying a new one, so i gave the go ahead. question.. how on earth do you REPAIR a motherboard? what im worried about is if they only fix part of it, then everything gets fried when plugged in. ARGH! in any case, im hoping for the best, and im getting them to pasang everything this time.
fingers crossed.

oh and... carol's currently adrift in her ocean of work, so she's gone into a sort of Ultra Megazoid Studying Mode, popping up occasionally for sanity breaks. :P erm, all the best... anyone in need of a big karma boost, send her a jumbo sized cheesecake!
speaking of sanity.
went to bed early last night (around 10.30), but to my utter horror, some genius (or bunch of geniuses) were holding a freaking CONCERT down the street in their house. there is absolutely nothing as annoying as:
a) an old guy with dubious singing ability
b) singing really old dialect songs
c) with speakers cranked up loud enough to share the joy within a 2km radius
d) in a usually quiet residential neighbourhood
e) at 10.30 pm, aka normal bedtime
f) on a freaking MONDAY NIGHT!!!
i woke up with a headache, and i havent the foggiest idea why *sarcasm sarcasm*. oh, of course, it could have been a charitable concert for a noble cause, but in the (unlikely) event that it was, i've magnanimously contributed by NOT leaving the house, starting up the car, turning on my bloody highlights, drive down the road, parking in front of that house, and HONK THE HORN THE WHOLE DAMN NIGHT!! *EVIL CACKLE*
(and there are better ways to do charity, anyway. so i doubt it.)

scientific research shows that people who consume cheesecake before studying are 90% more likely to absorb what they read compared to non cheesecake eaters. :P
