The World Has Turned and Left Me Here

Posted by zhx on March 28th, 2006 filed in All, Blog Entries

Well, here’s briefly what happened, and hopefully this will be all I say about it.
Since she got out of school, Bonnie’s been panicking about the rest of her life and her inability to relax has been driving me insane. In the past couple months, it’s become increasingly obvious that she is extremely unhappy. Last night [...]

Doesn’t get much more emo than this…

…but isn’t that what blogs are for?
Bonnie and I broke up tonight. We hit 5 years just two months ago, and tonight we broke it off pretty much out of nowhere. So…yep. My body didn’t even really know how to respond, aside from throwing up, which I thought was a pretty weird reaction. I don’t [...]

Winamp Working Again

Posted by zhx on March 26th, 2006 filed in All, Computers

Yes, my new system is running Windows XP. Do I miss Linux? Dearly…but not as bad as I missed Winamp and Photoshop. I finally got around to getting my plugins to work in tandem again and the site is updating with the song I’m currently listening to again. I’m not sure why that warranted an [...]

Unfuckingbelievable

TWICE. Fucking TWICE in just over a month. I have owned this car less than 4 months, and everybody on the road knows it, because they’re all out to destroy it for me.
Bonnie’s over tonight, and we’re watching Wallace & Gromit, having some popcorn, it’s shaping up to be a pretty nice evening. Unfortunately, I [...]

New Sounds

Posted by zhx on March 20th, 2006 filed in All, Music

We’ve been kicked out of our loft early and have taken temporary refuge in the dudes’ basement while resident band Death to the King records (and their equipment is out of the way). We spent a good portion of yesterday moving our ridiculous amount of equipment to a tiny little half-soundproofed room and setting up [...]

My New Computer: Cambria

Posted by zhx on March 18th, 2006 filed in All, Computers

Well, my system arrived Monday, and I basically had it up and running by Monday night, but even nearly a week later there is still a lot of configuration to do, mostly because I’m so busy at work (I even worked 11 hours today…). Strangely enough, after working on other people’s computers for 9 hours, [...]

Happy Blah Blah Blah

St. Patrick’s Day is a stupid holiday. Nobody knows what they’re celebrating. I know I don’t. Stupid.

Finalized Specs…

Posted by zhx on March 8th, 2006 filed in All, Computers

Finalized my specs and ordered my new computer last night. I managed to make the most out of my $1400 budget, coming in at $1401.97. I was also able to shift some numbers around to get the extra $70 to upgrade from an Athlon 64X2 3800+ to a 4200+. Here are the final specs:
AMD Athlon [...]

R.I.P. Wintermute

Posted by zhx on March 7th, 2006 filed in All, Computers

Sunday night I was making a weak attempt at “cleaning up” a bit by purchasing a couple DVD racks to store all my NES cartridges, which until then were sitting in precariously balanced stacks all over my room. After I had placed one of the racks, I decided I didn’t like where I had put [...]

Weird…

Posted by zhx on March 5th, 2006 filed in All, Music

So I’m bored and Googling the various screennames I’ve used over the years, and I come across a last.fm entry for my most commonly used screen name. Apparently somebody that uses the last.fm service has gotten ahold of some of my “Macintosh Sings the Blues” MP3s and the resulting “Artist Page” is now one of [...]
