New Years Eve

December 31st, 2007

Lev already started drinking and smoking his cigars and I’m making food. Just finished the raspberry pie and is currently boiling egg for the appetizers and everything is going according to my plans (I hope :-P )

People are crazy around here with their fireworks, kids been out all day blowing the crap up… I wish they would enforce the 18 year old rule better, would eliminate all the unnecessary fireworks before midnight New Years Eve.

Should I be worried?

December 31st, 2007

Sometimes I get worried about how gaming is affecting my boyfriend, I have the latest hour heard him shout countless times at the game he’s is currently playing.
This is a common thing with him though, I hear him shouting about lousy controllers, stupid AI:s in games, stupid teammates when playing online, camera angles and sometimes just plain and stupid gaming concepts :-P Haha, it’s is rather fun most of the time but when he comes in all worked up shouting about how close he was to unlock another achievement, then I get a little worried… :-)

Good girl

December 30th, 2007

Just exercised for a while and after that took a long and nice bath, very relaxing after all that hard work :-P Smell all nice now due to the pink grapefruit bodybutter from BodyShop that I got from my sister this Christmas, that and my perfume that I use.
Lev is playing games, as usual. I think that right now he’s playing Puzzle Figther as he finished Castlevania: Symphony of the night earlier. He wanted to go to Ikea today but I’m tired and really don’t feel up for going there today as Sundays are known to be their busiest day of the week, there are plenty of other days when we can go…

Should be planning for tomorrow as it’s gonna be a pretty long day, first shopping in the morning, then cooking and all that stuff. The night is hopefully gonna be relaxing and nice with a nice dinner.

Standards

December 30th, 2007

This is a picture of the keyboard that I got from Lev this Christmas, it’s an Ultra-Flat keyboard from Logitech. This is my favorite keyboard and I actually dislike working on any other kind. The keys are flat and can be compared to keys on a laptop, and this is what made me so hooked on this particular type of keyboard.

I know that there’s other brands that make flat keyboards but I’m not a big fan of say Microsoft or miscellaneous brands like Labtech and such, I’m satisfied with Logitech and wish to keep using that brand. The one thing that I might find negative is that this keyboard is not wireless, but the fact is that the wireless models with flat keys are ridiculously expensive, and I therefor will be satisfied using one with a chord.

I feel like a fanboy/-girl of Logitech as my laser mouse (never going back to optical again, that’s for sure) is from Logitech as well as my speakers :-P But I guess that I have not yet come across another brand that meets to the same standard. But I guess that in all fairness I have to mention that I’m not completely satisfied with my speakers and actually wished that I would have gone with the another model from Logitech as I like that particular one better.

Next thing on my list to get when it comes to computer related items would probably be a KVM-switch in order to keep the two computers I use (one for work, one personal) hooked up to only one monitor and at the same area.

Distracted

December 30th, 2007

I was supposed to look for nice recipes for our New Years dinner but got side tracked reading stuff online, happens a lot to me but I see it as a good thing as it is healthy to learn new stuff.

Actually feeling a bit sleepy which is rather odd since I’ve been turning my days around due to being off work for a week. Gonna watch some X Files with my beloved Lev soon I guess, as soon as he is done playing Castlevania.

Haha, btw, just thought I mentioned it as I wrote about it the other day, today I actually started playing the first Halo game on our old xbox :-P It was fun! I just got dizzy and nauseous after a while and had to take a brake but tomorrow if nothing else happens I’m gonna get at it again, I need to get myself of the ship before it crashes :-) Hahaha. Who’s willing to bet on how long I’ll keep playing this game?

Melancholia

December 29th, 2007

Not much is happening right now, like always after Christmas and before the new year. Lev is playing his games as usual and I’m trying to pass time without getting on my own nerves. I’m listening to the soundtrack from the third Halo game, I like that type of music as I find it very relaxing and soothing.

I don’t really now what to do today more than drinking about 5 cups of tea or something. Yeah, will be watching the X Files too as Lev finally got his ultimate DVD-box with all 9 seasons yesterday. Maybe I’ll install some game to play on this computer, hopefully we have some good strategy games laying around or something…. What are you up to today?

Halo

I’ve never played much Halo, but right now I’m listening to the soundtrack to the second and third game and since I’m liking what I’m hearing I might try our the first Halo game on the old Xbox soon. There’s no chance that the console will be occupied at least, Lev is hooked on his next gen stuff ;-)

Tea

December 28th, 2007

I’m an extraordinary picky person when it comes to food and drinks, at least if you compare me to most people. I always goes through phases and something that I might be almost obsessed with can be something that I might refuse to eat/drink a couple of weeks.

Right now there’s two things that I’m almost obsessed with: Green tea from Twinnings  and Blood oranges.

I wonder if I will feel the same in a week… :-P

Portal – Still Alive

December 27th, 2007

[audio=http://www.neroanima.com/StillAlive.mp3,Portal - Still Alive]

Finally, been having a special tune in my head since I heard some editor mention it during a Gamespot clip we saw the other day, but now, now I have the song that is played in the end of the game “Portal” from The Orange Box on my computer and I’ve been listening to it about 3 times now :-)
