Lets see, last night I went to bed at about 6 am… Woke up at 3:11 this afternoon, got a call from work asking if I could work a shift today at 4. So I took it and came home at 8. Tore into a laptop someone gave me to work on (they wanted it wiped and reinstalled), I ran the install last night after formatting the Hard Drive, did some tweaks to it today and found out that not all of the data for windows installed properly. All sorts of shit was missing like Internut Exploder, windoze update, defrag.exe… And services won’t execute properly or remember what values I enter.I must say this is an interesting puzzle I have. I’m guessing either the hard drive is going bad, or there is a boot sector virus.

So then I decided to take a break and finish portal (again) to see the new ending that was just added today. It’s real… Interesting. I have a feeling it will either be a sequel to portal, HL2 E3, or a crossover of the two.

I played with some of the portal update tonight. Interesting stuff. Too lazy to finish it right now though.

Last night though, I was bored and decided to retexture one of my gmod players. Because you know… I hate haxxing and stuff…

In that picture the logo doesn’t display properly for some reason. I think it’s the boob. I didn’t make the logo by the way. I got it from BAD’s photobucket. It was supposed to be a shirt texture for Uru. But at least I’m putting it to some kind of use. 🙂

So there you have it, I’ve gone vocaloid.

Today was yet another stormy day. I made a Japanese Omelet and had a low cal Thai soup on the side. Decided to try some Green tea with pomegranate. Good stuff.

Got a gold on one of the L4D survival maps 😀 That made me happy. I think I’ve been playing it a tad much lately because I’m having dreams about it too. I’d rather not go into detail about the latest one though.

It was dark and gray today. I didn’t even feel like going for a walk even though I was dressed to. I mostly relaxed today. Looked at a real cool map for gmod, it’s a real nice mountain village. I’m thinking that’s where my next movie will take place. Something about 4 people vacationing there and stumbling upon something mysterious. At this point it’s just an idea . I still need to work on the plot. When it comes to the equipment though I have that all set.

I tried the lavender tea today. It was good. Had a very interesting flavor. The taste of lavender, white tea and hibiscus brewing into one flavor was good to the palate. So far though I have to say my favorite is the green tea jasmine combo.

I’m proud to say I’m running 2 Left 4 Dead servers now. One private and one public. I recorded some footage tonight, unfortunately the updated fraps I downloaded screwed up the audio when working with it under premiere pro. So I had to roll back to the previous. I guess that just goes to show that if it ain’t broke for ya you don’t fix it.

On another note I’m not sure why, but I’ve really been craving the taste of ginger recently. I like it ground, fresh or pickled. I made a hot sauce and included 2 tbsp of fresh ginger in it, I just had a salad with ginger dressing, pickled ginger tastes good, and of course gingerbread cookies.
