Caffeinated Dreams

16 hour flight back to Copenhagen coming up in a few hours. It is now 1:15 AM and I leave for Sky Harbor around 4:30 AM. Flight leaves at 6:50 AM, hooray! I arrive in Copenhagen at 8:00 AM… TUESDAY. Timezones! :(

I’ve done so many miles back and forward between Europe and North America I wonder how many free tickets or whatever the fuck I could have by now.

Didn’t get to stay in Vegas for my 21st Birthday for long, like originally planned due to family complications and gas prices, but otherwise had a great time visiting friends and family for well over a month. Got into some trouble with old high school friends like the good ‘ol days, getting kicked out of the mall or theaters, generally making people irritated by our presence. Ah yeah.

Really miss having “me time” so looking forward to that. Oh and a computer I can use whenever I want. If it still works. That thing should be dead seriously the hard drive is sitting on top of the other hard drive separated with a piece of a thin Styrofoam-plasticy sheet and overheating constantly already. It squeals at you after about 12 hours of being on and is ALWAYS sounding like a screw is about to fly out from its bearings.

Anyway yeah. Gonna go pack up my book and some DS games for the flight. Bought a travel pillow finally so no more kinked necks after the international flights.

My hard drive on the only Windows computer is dying and when it gets hot, it squeals extremely loud and I am forced to shut it off for well over an hour. Unfortunetly, I can’t easily get Windows reinstalled on this machine. So it’s going on my FreeBSD box… noooooooo. :(

I love FreeBSD and all but I really missed Photoshop/Illustrator and easy access to PC games on it and emulation is just too much of a pain to dick around. Plus it IS still slow through emulation and I don’t like that. So it looks like I’m switching from FreeBSD as my main desktop, to back to Windows again. If I ever get a laptop, it’ll have FreeBSD on it. :)

Not really. The network card on the Windows computer is fucked up or something, since it gets horrible lag and download speeds. I was on Skype with friends earlier and was pinging websites to see just how bad, and…

I was badly needing some new shirts. Still kinda do — I don’t have any “dressy” clothes except for one blouse and a pair of nice pants. But these are more than enough for now.

I got this one, this one, and finally after years of looking at it… this one!
