Deep Thought of the Day

People aged 13-19 are called teens.
People aged 21-29 are called twenty-somethings.
I'm exactly 20. Does that make me a twenty-nothing?

On procrastination
by Pstonie (21 September 2006)
I just found this article that discusses procrastination and the ways to overcome it. I wouldn't call myself a procrastinator, but surely some of my behaviour suggests it. They say admitting you've got a problem is the first step. I'm still on that first step. The step is my home.
No, my particular problem is that of GTA, as has been covered here before. I may think that the game engine needs work and some of the missions are not well designed, but that doesn't stop me from spending hours at a time there. I just recently started the single player missions again, and it hasn't exactly helped matters.
Anyways, once you switch out the term 'procrastination' with 'playing GTA' (or whatever else revs your motor), this becomes very relevant. Like this list they suggest you fill out:
I am delaying on __eating_ because...
Reasons for delay:
1. Them Ballas be rollin' up on my turf again.
2. It's a game where you can pick up hookers, 'nuff said.
3. Those cops is dumb and entertainish.
4. I just edited 'handling.cfg' and one car is now really fast.
5. Uhh... Subbuteo? Arguments against delay:
1. I'm pretty hungry by now.
2. Going to Burger Shot in the game doesn't help.
3. Picking up a hooker in the game kinda does.
4. There's just one more thing I wanna try...
5. Uhh... Subbuteo?

Firstly, I've finally gotten around to writing the Complete, long and slightly boring history of GGC Media. We are giving you all of the evidence, based only on the sworn testimony of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal. More Ed Wood quote(s) in the article.
I was going to hold back on posting it a while longer, given the response (or lack thereof) to Feuer Frei!, but I decided to post another GGC click-through flash parody today: Battlestar Galactica, yo.
The Escopetarras, a gun/guitar hybrid is the final piece needed for me to complete my film masterpiece, God of Thunder, where Brian May fights crime and then rocks out really hard. Tagline: Girls, fast cars, hard rock... In Japan!
Perhaps the most awesome news of all, µTorrent just released a beta that includes a web interface. A web interface! This will enable you to control and/or check on your Torrents running at home from any internet-enabled terminal anywhere else.

I didn't know this was in the works, but apparently Glen A. Larson (Knight Rider, BSG mini) is working on the Knight Rider movie. That's right. Chalk that up as one more sign for the coming Stewart singularity. Not only that, but check out (what is speculated to be) the new KITT:
Always on my mind
by Pstonie (11 September 2006)
Just a few days ago I went outside and smelled the air that signaled the closeness of spring. It reminded me of sea air and I thought how nice it would be to actually smell sea air that day. Then I kinda got in my car and took on a 400KM drive to Durban, a seaside city that I've wanted to visit for a while. It turned out to be more like 650KM and I only got there at night, which is when I realised that I really should've made a reservation with a hotel at least a week earlier. After I finally found a hotel and stayed overnight, I went to see the ocean. A few minutes later I got bored and came back home.
