Well, here’s the new ‘design’. The blue and grey lines were getting on my nerves. I’m trying to move away from things that look like “Rehmeyer design”. Apparently, I can build a birdhouse and it’d look like a ‘Rehmeyer birdhouse’. I could tighten a loose screw on a bicycle – Rehmeyer’s bicycle. Perhaps some day I’ll be able to design utter crap that can’t be immediately identified as mine. (Hmm… I see some bread and orange juice. That could only be Rehmeyer’s.)
One of the best quotes I read in a while:
“They can steal all the plastic dolls they want to, but they can’t steal what’s in my heart.”
The source isn’t important, it’s just funny, okay? My highschool English teachers would have a heart attack if they heard me say that.
Hi. I played something like 8 hours of Final Fantasy X today. It feels like I might have played it too much. Does this mean I’m turning into an old fart? I hope not. Maybe I just had a slow day.
My sister got me a sweet gators jacket for graduation. It’s the kind of jacket that involves other people either thinking you smoke pot or want to steal something. But it’s comfy and the pockets can hold several small animals without showing it. Now all I have to do is wait for it to snow…
Okay, so I finally got my computer working. Why, Eric? What was wrong with it? I took out the spare no-data hard drive and the unnecessary IDE CDROM and then the AGP card stopped working.
I shall repeat.
Remove useless hard drive and cd drive. Graphics card stops working.
Great, so my drivers apparently smoke a large amount of the crack. Upgrade BIOS after randomly picking the correct download (Thank god for that). Need to get a floppy drive and old dual-boot win98 installation working for that. Upgrade AGP drivers with my old PCI card installed. Hours later, computer will boot as it always used to, this time only with the graphics card and the hard drive. Nothing else functions in harmony. Yadda yadda yadda, an hour ago I give up.
Current state of being: Everything except my scsi card is working. If I plug that card in and boot, the ALIAGP.sys driver hangs. What is the ALIAGP.sys file, you ask? That’s the AGP driver I just installed to get my damn Geforce2 working at all. This makes No Sense ™.
And for all you non-Jenni folk out there who don’t know good movie making from a whole in the ground, I still stand by my comments. Making a movie whose base plot was written before any other similar movie does not give you carte blanche to rip off all possible effects and ideas from said other films. The people who ran on the walls just like Immhotep’s minions. The giant fire demon that so resembled Blizzard’s rendition. The tiny guy vs giant lava monster (The true, the proud, the marines, the rings of power). Blah blah blah. Huuuuge opportunity to make a legendary movie, flushed down the toilet. Like the young Anakin’s acting ability.
Harry Potter
Fruit Loops
Battlefield Earth
The Mummy
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
Diablo
That Marines Commercial
Planet of the Apes
Martha Stewart
All of these things were blatantly depicted in the Lord of the Rings movie. Just because the book was written before we had paper, the movie is still held to the same standards as far as both plot and presentation are concerned. Can I find some old book, make a movie about it, then claim that other movies stole ideas from my movie? Definitely not.
I’m sure most people will disagree with me on this. I didn’t like Titanic either.

Things seen on the trip to J&J’s wedding:
Beware of bears sign (3)
Worst Christmas lights ever put on a trailer contestants (53)
“Do not siphon by mouth” sign (1)
Businesses named as if they were the only one in town – i.e., ‘The Diner’ ‘Gas Station’ (4)
Signs of intelligent life (0)
Things that were so retarded and without sense or reason I wish I wrote them down (5)
This, of course, only pertains to the drive. The wedding thing was very nice.
Finally got something to replace my Voodoo3 2000 poop card. I got a GeForce2 MX 400 64MB card. It’s installed and working. It can do more in 2D than my Sony Trinitron monitor can display. Great. So, what can it do in 3D? Let’s play Black&White and find out. Oh, it doesn’t run. Well, it runs, then crashes. Something to do with copy protection. I purchased a legal copy of the game at Walmart. Maybe I should have bought the original burn of the game from EA. Would it work then?!? Gaaaaah! I REFUSE TO REBOOT INTO WIN98 TO PLAY A GAME THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTX COMPATIBLE.
Problem: I have owned Black & White since this summer. I have played it for maybe 20 hours total, not including the maybe 20 hours spent on reading discussion boards of other people bitching about how the game doesn’t work. Could I take it back to Walmart for a refund, claiming that Lionhead is just dangling a carrot in front of my face without any desire to fix their (now old) game?

In the last few weeks, I have basically ignored everything other than school and work. There is a mountain of dirty laundry in my room. It’s the thing located both above and below the mountain of clean wrinkly laundry in my room.
If you were wondering, I have around half a dozen ideas for robertel33t. Now that the semester is winding down for me, I’ll have plenty of time to do web stuff. If I don’t post a new comic before the 15th, I give you all permission to hit me in the face with a pie.
I took a graduate-level operating systems class this semester. Lots of crazy op sys and networking theory. Absolutely no programming. This is like a math class where you have to sit around and read Sylvia Plath poems all day.
If you ever rent “Head Over Heels,” fast forward to the last restoration room scene, watch it, then turn the movie off. One line in the entire movie makes it worth watching, and that line has nothing to do with anything. Of course, if you’re the type who watches Freddie Prince Jr. movies, you likely don’t know the difference between the Backstreet Boys and a hole in your head. For those who need the info, “Head Over Heels” is one of those fast-moving picture things where invisible people keep playing the best songs you heard this week. Captain Dreamboat is oggled for the hottie that he is. The wittiest quips get quipped multiple times. Then some more times. In fact, there’s only one line in the entire movie and it’s repeated so many times, the movie just gets better and better. I’m sure none of you would mind, if you knew what variety was, your school notebooks wouldn’t have “I heart F.P.Jr” written all over them.
Sorry about that. It’s been a while since I ranted about people who love every last thing MTV throws at them.
