My past weekend ... Saturday

My past weekend ...

Saturday (since I updated about friday on saturday ...) was spent in the morning, at work. I started by going around all the little computers, logging in as domain admin, and setting everybody's account to local admin (no domain acess above user). About, 30 computers into it, I realized I needed to install adobe acrobat on any of the computers under a 1.5G ... luckily, there'd only been 3 or 4 that needed acrobat but for all thirty, I had not set the screen saver to use a password like I was supposed to. So I go around and finish the floor, doing all the steps, and then go back and do the 30 I'd forgotten. However, after this is done, I connect my computer at home and look at an email containing stuff to do. I'd forgotten to set the timezone back to -5:00 with DST and on top of that forgot to run Visual Audit Pro. So I went around and redid all the computers on the floor with those steps. Finished this around 2:00, and did some random tasks till three.

Saturday night, went to see The Good Girl. Extremely good flick, I really enjoyed it. They did a great job of portraying the characters to be believable and normal, yet each with their own extreme characteristics that made them all different. Like the girl who abused the P.A. system very easily could have been in a comedy movie and she'd have been one of the funny characters. Same thing with the extremely religious security guard. However the same characters in the setting and environment of The Good Girl were different from your average comedic relief character. They were normal, stereotypes maybe, but believable. I'm sure there's someone out there that when told "happy halloween" will say "oh, I'm not a pagan, but thanks all the same." And as for the husband and painter friend, they too seemed like normal characters. They were potheads, which was funny, however they weren't slap happy funny. They were just mellow, yet you felt sorry for them. Finally, Jennifer Aniston did a great job playing the southern girl who makes the wrong choices and Bubbleboy did a great job playing a misanthropist holden caulfield unstable lover character. It was pretty great.

Afterwards, we met Ben. He seemed cool enough, although, he should have spoken more. Many people are frightened by Marc's genius and misled by my stupidity into thinking it's genius. He should have spoken up more, I'm sure he'd have much more interesting stuff to say than myself, if not, he'd certainly have better fresh and new conversation than the same thing marc jo and I talk about once a weekend. But yeah, then I get like 8 new cd's to copy from jo (more like 6 or 7) and I go home. Oh, that night, Rachel and I on the phone set up to run in the morning on Sunday and so ....

Sunday, I get up at 6:38, and make it to Thurman-Hutchins at about 6:46 (I told Rachel I'd meet her at 6:45) so she calls me at 6:46 and asks where I am, as I'm like 30 seconds from her car. But I could understand why she calls. So we do three laps, it was nice to have someone to run with ... however my body was off and I had some pains in my chest, then at the end we sprint and she beats me. Heh, proves I'm a wuss. Anyway, then I go and lift weights, make it home by 7:50, leave for Delta Dental by 8:10, and start the reformat of a couple computers, and then sleep ... I wake up at 99%, it was beautiful, hit some buttons, plug up two more computers ... and ... sleep ... except these were faster machines so I woke up after they were done, but I don't think they were done for more than a few minutes. I swear...... Yeah, so I get 13 machines done, finished sir gawain, and programmed on my website and then left at 3:00 (I read and programmed between formats).

Then I napped at home, went to blue grass brewing company for dinner, came home, maybe did some homework, don't really rememeber, late sleep time. Oh, my computer has been moved into my room so I can take full advantage of the remote control for my speakers, the remote control for my sound card, the remote wireless mouse, and the remote wireless keyboard I have ... I lay in bed, and just stare at a blue blur from across the room wondering what the hell is on my computer screen. there's really no point to a wireless keyboard/mouse except no wires ... it's no like long range in any way ... you can get range, yes, but it's pointless, you can't read the type. I got about five or six feet away, and still had to bump my res down from 1600x1200 to 1028x768 to make out anything, and 800x600 was just repulsively insulting to my eyesite. So I still sit in a chair, next to the screen ... however I can set up my winamp to play all day and all night, and my keyboard I just hit b for next track, x for play, etc ... that IS nice.

Spork.
