I think my Dish DVR is gonna make me watch more TV. I normally don’t watch some shows I would like to because I am not home. Welcome timeshifting in digital quality. I’ve already recorded a few shows, and I’m gonna set it up to record the Sopranos weekly as well as a few other HBO shows. I’ve also got it scheduled to grab the Dave Chappell and John Leguizamo comedy specials. This is gonna rock. The HD package looks pretty good as well, even though we don’t have a HD TV yet. We have it on our bigscreen which is 900 lines of resolution, so it looks like DVD quality or better. Plus most of the channels look 10x better than Charter’s cruddy analog or “digital” cable. Viva la Dish!

rambling
Got the bike out today. Was a nice day for a ride. Day 4 of no IRC is going well, at least I haven’t went crazy yet. I’m bored, if you can’t tell, I just thought I’d write some shit on here. Safari is pimp. I now need a new monitor for the mac, and maybe a pro-keyboard & mouse setup. This oldschool ADB keyboard is kinda cruddy.

Girls Who Don’t Answer Cell Phones
I swear, this is the last time I break my “no one under 21 rule”. Went out with this chicka, thought everything went good, told her I’d call her so we could do it again, tried on 3 different days, no answer. Doesn’t even return my call either. Doesn’t have her voicemail setup, so I can’t leave a message, but I know she had to see that I called, she knew my number because she’s called me back before. Anyway, a longtime friend reminded me of the “don’t date anyone that can’t have a drink with you, even if you don’t drink” rule, because, well, it makes sense. Apparently there is a generation gap there or something. Oh well, I’d still like to know what happened, well, rather, who told her some bogus shit. I’m not dumb, I know this had to happen, it’s really the only explination. Anyway, I guess I’ll go back into the girls are evil mindset until some pretty young thing proves me wrong (doubtful ;P).

500+ miles
500 miles on my bike. Hooray. Only 100 more and I can get the first service over with so I can really get up on it. I have a feeling this bike can really scoot if I give it full throttle, but I haven’t been able to do that during break-in yet.

TW 200
I’ve been riding a borrowed Yamaha TW 200 Enduro [link is of a 2004, this one is older but they look the same] a ton over the weekend. I need to go get a battery for it, because it didn’t want to kick-start this morning. Hopefully sometime in September I’ll have a brand new 2004 Honda cruiser to ride.

Class M
I now have an instruction permit for a motorcycle! w00t! now, I just need a bike to take the test on sometime after 9/3 so I can have a full license. Maybe dad will get that harley from his uncle this weekend and I’ll at least have it to ride. If not, I guess I’ll wait till next spring after I buy a Honda VTX 1300 retro this winter.

If I were a video game character…
I am Pacman.
I am an aggressive sort of personality, out to get what I can, when I can. I prefer to avoid confrontation, but sometimes when it’s called for, I can be a powerful character. I tend to be afflicted with munchies constantly. What Video Game Character Are You?
