Intel’s 3GHz Pentium 4 is due this week.

Someday I will have money again, and that is the day I will buy a faster computer.

Oh hey, over the weekend a free beta for The Sims: Online was released. You have to make a free GameSpy account to download it (and then wait in line for two hours to START the 1.4 GIG download) but you can play free NOW before they start charging $10/mo for it in December. I played a little bit last night, and it’s jerky as hell.

I don’t know if it was just network lag or my slowish (800mhz, geforce2) computer. Probably the lag. Anyway, it’s sorta fun. Try it! Add ‘Brettface’ to your friends list!

Whenever I try to view my (empty) friend list, the game crashes. That’s fun! Maybe you’ll be luckier than me! Hooray!

Oh yes. What Fark cliche are you?

Disneyland is all dooded up for Christmas! Hooray!

Disneyland’s groundskeepers have bred an ‘official’ Disneyland Rose. It’ll go on sale next year, and it looks like this!

I’m only 20%. How black are you?

I finished Metroid Fusion last night. The game was pretty fun, but it was way too short and lacking in depth! Not counting all the times that I died, it only took me a little over five hours to finish.

Tammy’s in Atlanta on business for the next 9 days. My sadness begins now.

I need to whip out the ol’ Palm V and start keeping track of my schedule again. You don’t even know. I’m totally forgetting about so many things! I haven’t used my Palm since I graduated in 2000, and I used it like crazy back then.

It kept track of all of my deadlines for classes, projects, whatever. I also loaded AvantGo on it so that I could read the news when things in class got boring! The stylus made it look like I was taking notes!

Good times.

I’M BLASTIN’ THE PERRY COMO CHRISTMAS CLASSICS UP IN THIS OLD SCHOOL WORKPLACE HIZOUSE BIYATCH!

At first I was a little pissed that that Measure B passed in LA County last night. LA’s trauma care system basically ran out of money, and they had planned to shut down a bunch of hospitals to keep from going under. Measure B will keep most – if not all – of those hospitals open, but it’ll do it by increasing residential property taxes by three cents per square foot.

Then I remembered that by this time next year I’ll be living in Orange County, and suddenly I didn’t mind so much!

I get a real kick out of looking at old photos of Disneyland. A lot has changed since it opened in 1955, but a lot is still exactly the same as it was back then.

Like take this picture of Walt and Shirley Temple. I know exactly where that was taken! There’s a drinking fountain on that pedestal now.

This construction photo of Main Street could have been taken a few days ago.

Tomorrowland hasn’t been this busy in a few years!

Anyway, fun times!
