late nights again

As many of you know, I’m not really good at managing time. In the past few months there’s been a lull in the things that I ‘d like to do, so I find myself going to sleep early and all that.

Now, those days seem to be gone. Thanks to my installation of xchat on this web server, I can now resume all the manga downloads I’ve stopped reading since moving my computer from the living room to my lil cramped personal space. I’m doing an alphabetical browse of things I’ve missed and I’ve only reached ‘Ai’, which is AirGear. Read that up to Vol 7 and that kept me up to 1.30am :O

Before the browse, I’ve specifically searched for the latest chapters of GantZ, Alita, & Battle Royale. More to come I guess. And now that my boss is doing a load of downloading via Streamyx, I can even pilfer some seasons of TV shows like Lost and some movies from him. :D

At the same time, I’ve been catching up on some of the old movies that I never got around to watch. Since I’ve had to wait for my sis before I can go home, I’ve been spending my time after hours at the office watching Dude, Where’s My Car?, Elektra, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and a few other things. And since this is her last week, it seems that she’ll be more late than usual, and my movie supplier is not here! :(

All this watching and reading… Seems like a form of escapism. Missing something… someone… ;)

why dell = cheap

scammers. just found out that my flatscreen panel may be 6bit instead of true color 8. i knew something was amiss when shades of black were not flush from before, and i guess this confirms my suspicions.

6bit panels actually can accomodate only 262k colors, but with help from dithering and stuff like that, it seems like 16.2mil colors.

8bit panels are native at 16.7mil colors.

smart of them for omitting such info from their product pages. my mind starts asking questions, such as are those people online who gave good reviews to the dell monitors really happy? they might be, considering that dell was using higher-end samsung panels at first, then later decided to downgrade to the lower quality ones which i seem to be stuck with. yay to dell for consumer friendly practices. not.

i will never ever buy another dell. ever.

i don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

here are the lyrics for one particularly addictive song i aoverheard on the US cartoon network while i was there. enjoy. and don’t ask me how to get the song itself. :P

Artist: Animaniacs
Song: The Monkey Song
Album: Variety Pack

One Monday morning, I got up late
And there were these monkeys, outside ze gate
Ze guard went to stop them but he had no luck
The monkeys got free and they ran amok

I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

My office was run by ze studio nurse
I came downstairs und what could be worse?
Ze monkeys was doing a crazy dance
They put buggies in my underpants

I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
Monkeys dance day and night and stew
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

I ran outside to get a stick
But I tell you friends, those monkeys was quick
‘Cause when I returned, much to my disgrace
Those monkeys had the nurse in a mad embrace

Nurse:I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
Yako:For a nickel, I’ll give you a clue
Dot:I didn’t know your eyes were blue
I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

I went to me bath for a shower and shave
The monkeys gonna put me into my grave
The entire bathroom was laid to waste
And they shaved my head with minty toothpaste

I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
They is crazy nutso, I’m telling you
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

Well by zis time I was feeling dread
Zey was using a shoe brush to shine me head
I asked them to leave but they stayed around
Zey pulled the chain and ee! I went down

I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
Call my lawyer, I’m ready to sue
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

Well my patients ran out and I’m telling you sure
Tomorrow I show those monkeys the door
And if they don’t leave, I’m inviting you
To my house for dumplings and monkey stew

I don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
Now I’m in the stew, oh pooh!
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do
Watch out for monkeys, I’m telling you
-Don’t know what to say, the monkeys won’t do

We’re not monkeys, we’re just cuckoo
Don’t know what to say, the Warners won’t do

another weekend gone

and another 6-day work begins.

putting more time into WoW lately. switching between realms just to expend my rested status. downloaded some ratDVD versions of The O.C. season 2, but the quality was quite poor so i might just grab a set from ES.

also cleaned up my room a bit. i can finally see the floor now. :P
