i finally bought the hub, and we got ethernet cable.
wonderful.
now if only we could get the damn systems to talk to one another, everything would be just peachy-fucking-creamy.
bascially, our genius homeboy from new yawk is running xp, so my 2k system can't log on or use internet connection sharing.
so today's the day the geeks on campus actually provide some real assistance.
that'll be a first, mind.

last night, tekken happened. my flatmate and a friend of ours keep playing, more than i've ever played, yet whenever i join them they can't touch me.
last night our homeboy got all excited because in one of the last rounds i didn't perfect him.
that's fairly sad.
on the crap side of that, SxS still beats me fairly consistently, although i've finally begun putting up a fight (it's only taken roughly a year and a half).

i finally figured out how to finish the counterstrike training mission this morning. i feel like such a putz. but i'm ready to try online - i just need to get net access from my machine (my little pony?).

rant: well, i'm at home now (22.30), and i'm missing THE party of the year for my university.
and i so don't care it's not even funny.
i find it sad and uninspiring to go to parties where lots of snobs and losers get horribly trashed listening to crap music. and i know that everyone who was there is going to tell me i missed something really incredible.
yeah, incredibly BAD.
i almost feel sorry for myself, knowing that there're few parties that i can go to that will satisfy me.
and cheesy house ones are definitely on the list of those that won't.

i got my watch strap adjusted today - and after two attempts it's still too big by a notch.
rhymes with crotch.
i don't know why i felt like saying that.
i'm about to upload a pic of it to My Stuff in the photo gallery. anywho, i went with sammy (a strange nick, but a nick nonetheless) to the mall, and we went shopping for a desk and a mouse. the mouse we found, the desk we didn't, but we came across two things that stood out in my mind.
1. a really naff chair, real leather (i think), with wheels that make it a fine contender for nascar. only prob is the NIS 800 (+- R1500) pricetag.
2. a game called dogs of war. oh - my - god. this looks like THE game. it's a real-time strategy game that can be played from any point of view. and it's beautiful. go find a movie now, the address is in my favourites. (two months later - note: address removed due to crapness of game. pretty, but crap.)

it appears i'm in deep shite as far as my exams are concerned, as in i may not be able to take two of them, which pretty much implies army service beginning july.
which i don't want. i want to go in after my degree, but this is looking to be less and less of an option.
i'm so dramatic i scare myself. literally.
so i've been doing the productive thing: i downloaded all the course material for my exams, and then read webcomics.
for around an hour and a half. maybe two hours, tops - i swear!

it's late for supper time, but i'm going to have a go. tomorrow morning training, bright and chipper. goody, goody, gumdrops.
