>Invasion of the $5 n00bs.
Tonight Ivan and I decided to play an easy match in L4D2. Had one guy that liked to speed ahead and another asshat from my friends list that tried to grief. Little did they know that they were in my basement… One guy tried to kill himself and I brought him back to life, the other moron got lost and killed constantly. Same guy tried to team kill everyone by lighting a gascan in the saferoom. So I bitchslapped and blinded him. Eventually he got the idea. He was still stupid though.
>You are what you eat… A vegetable.
Today I decided to make lettuce wraps and Thai coconut soup. I stuffed the lettuce with carrots, cucumbers, surimi, mint, basil and honey roasted peanuts and dipped them in a soy dipping sauce. It was pretty good, but I think I’ll take the remnants and make it into a salad.
The coconut soup was inspired because of some I had recently from the nutrition section at the store I work at. It was good but lacked that spicy flavor I like in Thai cuisine. I combined Chicken stock and a can of coconut milk, used sliced fresh ginger, serrano chile, tomatoes, lemon grass plus shrimp and crab for the protein. It turned out real well!

>They just don’t know what to do with me.
So my boss calls my work cell and wants to know if I’m willing to come in tomorrow to work. I agree to it and that’s it. My other boss informs me that changes were just made and I didn’t need to come in after all. THEN a few minutes later I get yet another call (this time from my old dept) wondering if I can cover a sick call. I decline because I have plans tomorrow afternoon. Then my boss calls back wanting to confirm that I AM coming in tomorrow. So since he really wants me to I volunteered to do so.
My god… A drunken sailor is more organized.
>What I’ve been occupied with.
I’ve upgraded my video card. Now I’ll be able to release L4D videos once again. Fraps works even better now. But the best part? When a Charger attacks I won’t lag! Everytime a Charger started to charge I would freeze for 4 seconds, then awaken to a friend or me being beaten to death. After getting tired of this I mostly played on my notebook since performance was flawless. But with this ATi Saphire HD 3850 it clears up that problem quite nicely!
I did run into some other problems though. 3 capacitors on my motherboard are about to pop. The good news is I found another motherboard for dirt cheap. It also looks like the latest drivers randomly cause the system to die. Not in game either mind you, only when I’m surfing the net. At first I thought maybe it was either the drivers or the new .NET framework. But uninstalling that caused the next lockup to generate a BSOD rather than just a black screen followed by a restart. I’ve rolled back 2 versions and so far everything is smooth.
I’d better get some sleep. I have gifts to mail to Princess Barbie before the post office closes this afternoon. Then I can finally email her about it. The weather plus work has done a good job of preventing me from getting much done…
