Bedtime

I've asked myself a few times already why I'm up right now at 1:50 in the morning. I told myself I'd be in bed 50 minutes ago, but that didn't happen. Really I'm not at all surprised. I have a really bad habit of staying up too late and not getting enough sleep.

Oh well. Here I am wasting more time by posting on my blog. I haven't done it in over a week, so I felt like it needed something. Although this post is completely and utterly pointless. There's nothing good about it. I'm just rambling incessantly when I should be in bed.

I did see two good movies in the past two days though, that was nice. Last night we saw I Heart Huckabees. Tonight we saw Sideways. Both were excellent. I really enjoyed I Heart Huckabees a lot though. I'm not at all surprised it's not nominated for any awards or anything, but I think it deserves some recognition anyways. Not that it makes any difference that I like it.

Ok. Enough wasting of time. Off to bed so I can get at least 5 hours of sleep. Goodnight.

Wireless Woes

So yesterday we went to OfficeMax and picked up a wireless router and a wireless card for our laptop. We got a pretty sweet deal too... after the mail-in rebates, the total cost will work out to $30 for the router and $20 for the laptop card. Sounds pretty good, right? Right.

Well... last night we got them home and I start reading the quick-install information. I hooked up the router with the cable modem and the PC and everything. It worked fine up until the point where I went to configure the new router. I followed all the instructions, and put in a WEP security code and everything. Then when I'm supposedly all done, the internet doesn't work anymore for the PC. I tried to repair the network connection, but it said it was running fine. Obviously not. On top of that, I didn't want to give up. And I didn't give up until 5:30 in the morning.

So, I'll just have to call tech support or something to get them to help me. I think I've successfully installed the card for the laptop, but I can't tell yet because there isn't actually a wireless network for me to test it out with. Lame.

It's times like this that I really wish I had more networking knowledge. But there's no time like the present to learn, eh?

Email blog test

Yeah, yeah... I know I said I was going to bed. But I had to test out this
feature first. NOW I'll go to bed.

Sigh...

3:28 A.M. So why am I not in bed yet? That's a darn good question. Maybe it was the 2+ hours of DDR, followed by too much water and Pepsi. I don't really know. But I do know that I am starting to get a LITTLE tired, so maybe I'll jump on it. No more dorking around on the internet.

However, before I go I'll leave this little tidbit. While on the View Askew message boards (http://viewaskew.com/theboard/index.php), I found that Kevin Smith himself had left a link for this. In the thread there are the usual comments like: "oh, it's just fan-created". But I don't think so. Except maybe the background. The actual footage looks real to me. So here it is: http://www.viewaskew.com/kevin/duel.mov

Thoughts? Isn't this cool? Not to mention... will Kevin Smith REALLY be a part of the rumored Star Wars TV series? I sure hope so. Personally, I think it's a match made in heaven. In fact, he basically pleads the 5th about it himself in THIS thread about 14 posts down the page: http://viewaskew.com/theboard/viewtopic.php?p=668347&highlight=#668347

Well, I don't expect any answers or comments here. Basically I'm just talking to myself because no one is reading my blog anyways. I haven't told anyone about it yet. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I don't have any good reasons for having one. But then, does anyone?

Ok. Off to bed now. Probably. Bye.
