Clumsy Me   Thursday 7.26.01 1:14AM by Dr.Hooptie
I don't really have anything to say. Nothing of substance anyway. I updated the quotes page you're welcome KAREN! She's always saying quotable quotes and I can't believe I haven't written more of them down.

Update:
Quotes - QUOTES!

The Blah sections suffers when people are of good dispositions. Write non-ass chapped ones if you're not pissed off! I need stuff.... My site... it's... stagnating! My page bows in humble awe of THIS brilliant page. If you don't have a few hours to kill I recommend not hitting it just yet...


It Wears Me Out   Monday 7.23.01 3:50PM by Dr.Hooptie
Mary mother of GOD. Another amazingly boring weekend in a row will make three and will results in me drowning myself in the bathtub. Maybe I'll just swallow broken CD shards or eat batteries. If you're gonna go at least make it interesting.

One of the main motivations behind a news post was to link this site. It'll curve your spine and sap your strength. August is just around the corner. Be gone evil summer! I used to fucking love summer. I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm ready for school but not class. Last year, UT managed to do something once thought impossible: they stressed me out.

Karen's birthday is tomorrow.... I have no ideas. Well, a couple ideas. Nothing spectacular of course. I'm still broke as a.... well, as I've been for the last 8 months. Everyone give a big "Huzzah" for Chino returning to the tour. If we'd been stuck just seeing Godsmack there would've been a riot. Even if they're "the loudest band in Chicago" (snicker), the people of taste would've demanded a refund and the whole show would've been cancelled.


No Sugar Tonight   Saturady 7.21.01 12:18AM by Dr.Hooptie
I think we've got the next lan pretty much nailed out. Shouldn't suck, I hope. I always take the brunt of the aggression for anything lan-related. People send a million annoying emails, I get blamed. New rules are enacted, I get griped at. It's out of my control, I swear!

My scanner fucked up and I think died tonight. I scanned four pictures then it pooped out on me. It tries to start but then chokes and gives weird errors. Oh well, it's old. I put up the ones I got scanned though. That camera I took to the concert was apparently fucked up too. It was a 25-shot disposable and only TWELVE were usable. The rest were blank. Such bullshit.

Updates:
ETC - Pictures (of girls! on my bed!)
Music - Radiohead Concert Pictures
LAN - Counter-Strike Screens from 7.15

I haven't written or received any editorials in a while. It's hard to find something to complain about that hasn't been beaten to death already. You can only bash pop culture and redneck recreation so much. Goddamn I love DJ Shadow. Midnight in a Perfect World is one of those songs I know I'll never get tired of. I'll be 95 in a nursing home and bitch at the nurses til they put Shadow on the PA. FEEL it.

Jay and I want to find jobs where we get to blow shit up. We'd never complain about working if we got to blow shit up all day. "How was work?" "Great. We blew up a buncha shit." Only in dreams. I'm tempted to throw something into the journal but nothing interesting's happened in awhile.

Oh yea, I found a way around the lil problem with the quote generator that caused it to spit out "undefined" occasionally. Bloody javascript. The math.Random() function spits out a decimal to eight or ten places of random numbers, so you can only have a limited field of numbers to work with and it increases in powers of 10. Yes, this is uninteresting, but you should respect that quote generator thing because it was a pain in the ass to write. I can only have 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc quotes in there. No in betweens. Bloody javascript.


Oh, Oh Me Laaazy   Thursday 7.19.01 12:27AM by Dr.Hooptie
Man I thought we had blunt and offensive senses of humor. I'd post the link for the "Columbine Massacre" Half-Life mod but geocities already deleted it. Much as twisted things can be fun I think they got carried away. Christ, I can't imagine what Lieberman would say about that shit. I bet people like him are just sitting around waiting to pounce on these things and say "I told you so." I don't trust them to explain that it's just a mod and they wouldn't bother anyway.

A lot of the day was spent tossing around ideas for lan improvements. Luckily I'm not the only one frustrated with the route our parties have taken. I vastly enjoyed the bitter feedback.

Update:
LAN - The New Deal

I'm looking foward to seeing if our current ideas will solve all the bullshit we've endured for however long. If not, I dunno about you guys but I'll be back on ethernet in a month. If the new restrictions on attendance bother you, I apologize. It seems like people who don't play don't enjoy themselves much anyway. Give me suggestions.


Shitfire   Tuesday 7.17.01 1:08AM by Dr.Hooptie
The LAN was lackluster at best. Yeah, we had some laughs and Counter-Strike was fun but it was just below average. I brought my camera but the only thing picture-worthy was Ben wrestling what's his name. I forgot to take pictures of that though. I did get a shitload of good cs screens and I'll probably get those up soon. Tomorrow I'll get my Radiohead pictures developed and post them.

We've gotta do something about the deterioration of our LANs. Back in the fall of '99 we had some good 'ol times, often staying up til sunrise. We were finished by midnight last night!! That is terribly substandard. I've discussed it with a few people and the one thing we all agree on is we need more games. We played almost nothing but CS yesterday and that's how our last half dozen lans have been. We've been playing Starcraft and Quake2 for centuries. Unreal Tourney and Q3A have been on our roster for a couple years. We need new stuff.

On top of that we need much better organization and fewer non-nerds. We used to think it was cool when nongamers and girls came out to our little gatherings. Shit, I didn't know half those people last time. Most of them were bored (like the rest of us) and taking up space. Not that we don't want them to show up; we like them plenty. I just felt bad because they were wasting a third of their weekend being bored. On the organization side, we should have everyone label their games then put it all in a big pile and have CDR's full of patches and updates. The network was finally well maintained thanks to the Louinator, but we need better coordination on the games side.

I need the suggestions of the nerd masses. We've gotta fix this. Summer's boring enough without our lan parties sucking. It's one of those things we're known for doing well, our forte. Speak.


Countin' Flowers on the Wall   Saturday 7.14.01 10:59M by Dr.Hooptie
Haven't been this bored in months seems like. I never have a big problem staying home but cripes. Fuck. Bored. In the course of the day I've listened to probably 10 albums. All five Radiohead albums, Coldplay, Led Zeppelin. Hopefully the ran will make up for this.

I'm gonna get a plextor 161032 for my birthday. Nigga! Mwave.com is the greatest thing since blacklights. In the throes of boredom I stumbled upon some interesting sites. This page has some interesting gibberish. This guy can write like a motherfucker and I read a bunch of his partially completed novella, "She Hates My Futon." Very Original. The main graphic on this page here really jumped out at me because it's so bizarre. I downloaded a nerdcore hip-hop MP3. Somebody beat Louis to it.

Today I pondered writing a Lazy Man's Guide to Gaming, specifically discussing several games within it. Then I thought of how much I hate people that are so lackadaisical that they can't even hustle in a fucking computer game. Now I think I'll write something about hunting, stabbing, and feasting on the flesh of lazy teammates and campers. Since I obviously can't play Counter-Strike and I can't find my Starcraft CD, I've taken to playing Subspace a lot. This is the original gangsta of massively multiplayer, or at least online-only. Given my plight of such limited choices of entertainment, I might very well write up some Subspace strategies. Doubt those would be useful for anybody else anywhere but hey, I need something to kill time.


Ich Hab Nichts   Friday 7.13.01 12:52AM by Dr.Hooptie
You can trust Navarro to fuck up your plans. They never posted my grade so I couldn't get a transcript so I couldn't apply to UTA in time for summer II. Back to the drive-thru goes me. These profs take themselves too seriously too, as if we're retaining what they teach us.

Updates:
Non-Ass Chapped - Things Are Good
Journal - 7.11.01 12:20AM

I didn't think the subject matter of my most recent editorial would fit in the normal Editorials section. The irony of complaining about complaining was not lost on me. I'm not sure whether I'll do many more journal entries. I just can't tell if it's interesting at all. I kinda feel like I'm going about it wrong, too. Nobody really cares what I do every day so I've been using it more to spit out what's on my mind rather than my daily activities. If you think I should continue with that section, tell me.

I'm looking forward to owning everyone as usual at the lan. This should be very gratifying. My naked woman hostage replacements are rarin' to go and my mofo marines are high on stim packs. My ass kicking boots are shined and my mullet is glossy and long.


Literature   Tuesday 7.10.01 12:36AM by Dr.Hooptie
Shower me with content. Seems people are into this editorials thing. I think Rocky's mini is among the more inspired yet.

Updates:
Minitorials - Oh Man Oh Man
Editorials - Athletes: Stop Avoiding the Question

This is the first time in as long as I can remember when my entire weekend was booked a week in advance. I call myself "spontaneous" which means that I procrastinate and make plans at the last minute. Damn, go buy Coldplay's album. I usually listen to Radiohead all day but I've been listening to this instead. Did I say instead? I meant in addition to. Radiohead's a daily necessity on the same level as water for me. On that note, download Follow Me Around.


HEED Me   Monday 7.09.01 9:27PM by Dr.Hooptie
I finally put the finishing touches on my Codes of Conduct non-ass chapped editorial. Take a gander and heed the advice therein. If anybody local wants to take a road trip anywhere I'm all ears. Hachie is crushing my head.

I'll be bogged down with homework this week I'm sure. I think I'll try in earnest to find a job this week too... yea I know summer's halfway over. Shutup.

Update:
Non-Ass Chapped - Codes of Conduct

By the way, sorry to everybody on the LAN list for all the jackasses that don't know when things aren't funny and when jokes get old. I was helpless to stop them.


For You I'd Bleed Myself   Monday 7.09.01 4:16PM by Dr.Hooptie
The college dilemma has been resolved at long fucking last. I'll be in Austin next semester. Everybody cheer and applaud now. I dropped off some shitty old CD's at hastings and got the new Weezer and Coldplay. Those dumbasses took DC Talk, Tek3, a Montell Jordan single, and a buncha other shit that I shouldn't admit to having owned. Silly Hasting's.

Updates:
Editorials - Hello?! Wake up!
Album Reviews - Taproot :: Gift

I'm addicted to Counter-Strike skins. I sat around yesterday afternoon gathering skins for a game I can't even play on dialup. Next week I damn well better get my cs fix. If someone has a Starcraft CD lying around lend it to me!! It's playable on dialup and I'm bloody bored!

Download Don't Panic by Coldplay. Go steal 20 copies of the new Staind album and tape them to your front bumper then ram the first car you see with a Limp Bizkit bumper sticker on it. Unless you're employed, in which case you should be at work. My mom is intentionally keeping me broke by not sending in the tax return that would put $300 in my pocket. Witholding money from a broke college kid is a capital offense.


Blimey   Sunday 7.08.01 3:43PM by Dr.Hooptie
Holy shit what a boring weekend. Everybody's been telling me the fun stuff they did and that I should have called them. Yes, this is logical. I should call you in case you're doing something fun and haven't invited me. A few more ideas like that and you can go to work for WISD.

Updates:
LAN - July 15 RAN info
Editorials - Your Word is Your What?

I can't imagine how our species has survived thus far. People are fucking tards. Download Inside the Hive by Hive. It'll satisfy that ache left by a lack of good drum & bass. Sadly, my friends are lazy and have as yet not sent me their editorials. Shit, I dunno if they've even written them yet. The irony is thick, as I just wrote an editorial on this subject of unreliability.

We're ranning it up at Golden China next week. If you want to be on my LAN mailing list just drop me a line. It might not be up to par (par being the last RAN) but it'll be cool.


National Booty Day   Saturday 7.07.01 5:11PM by Dr.Hooptie
Threw down a quick minitorial when I woke up. Shit, we got carried away last night. I ate taquitos on my balcony and watched the sun come up then crashed til 2:30 or so which wasn't near enough sleep. This bastard house's A/C sucks upstairs.

Updates:
Minitorials - Did I Ask?
ETC. - Arabian Ghetto Thugs and Jeff and Karen blooper

I decided this picture was siteworthy and I went ahead and made obvious what I first noticed about this picture. You crazy kids you. Random housecalls are acceptable today, given the occasion. Shower me with goodies.


O Happy Day   Saturday 7.07.01 5:47AM by Dr.Hooptie
Kickin' it like ghetto nerds at the LouJay mansion, sun's prolly gonna come up soon. We tired of TKing each other in counter-strike so here we sit, talking about weird shit and messing with our websites. Rocky just watched a gay porn clip, I forget why. I just watched a depressing story about some lady that drowned. I'm about to put this realistic-looking but fake plastic gun in my mouth. Not really.

I'm pretty tired now. I thought it'd be cool to do a journal entry while sitting in this camping chair with a built-in footrest at Jay's casa, so I did. We added a little funniness to the bumper stickers section, to attribute credit for brilliance where it is due. Click the hypertext on the only one that has hypertext. It's good stuff. I uploaded Permanent Daylight by Radiohead and you can download it by clicking on the logo up there.

Updates:
Permanent Daylight - Might be a little slow
Projects - Bumper Stickers added and appropriate props given to the Rock
Journal - 7.07.01 4:41AM
Projects - Sexual Playlist contributed by Jay

The weirdness of the weekend grows with each passing moment. We're watching a fishing show ("that's a good'un!"). I think I'll go to Whataburger. I'm gonna be too fucking tired to enjoy my birthday.


Sing Us a Song   Friday 7.06.01 6:25PM by Dr.Hooptie
I didn't quite know where to put the most recent section so I made it a part of Blah. It's called Vivid, containing nothing but true stories that inflect no opinion (normally) and serve no purpose but to reassure those of us with boring lives that interesting stuff happens to some people.

Updates:
Vivid - How to Fuck Up Royally and It Just Is
Quotes - Added a dozen or so

This week has been appallingly boring despite the festivities of the 4th. I need to leave north Texas.


Fornicate While You Can   Friday 7.06.01 2:46AM by Dr.Hooptie
The potential weirdness that tomorrow and Saturday hold is immense. Sarah's boyfriend will spend the afternoon here then leave then come back and crash and I can't go anywhere with Karen until Sarah gets off work because Mark will be here. It could get awkward... slightly.

Updates:
Minitorials - Gig This!

Tomorrow I also have to continue figuring out where I'll be next semester. Fucking college. Seems like such a waste of time. If there weren't so many hot girls and so many available substances I'd feel no real motivation to return. I'll try to have more interesting stuff available this weekend. Feels like this place has kinda stagnated.


Quickie   Thursday 7.05.01 1:07AM by Dr.Hooptie
Counter-Strike screenshots are here just for the hell of it. Tomorrow I'll sift through the hundreds of Starcraft and Unreal Tourney screens and decide which ones are worth posting.


And Then Some   Thursday 7.05.01 12:13AM by Dr.Hooptie
I've been staring at the little sensor device in my mouse for maybe half an hour, pondering what to put on the site. While waiting for the sun to go down so I could throw down some mortars and rockets I scratched out a journal entry. I like to add more than one thing at a time so it feels like I'm getting a lot done with this site. Oh well.

Update:
Journal - 7.04.01 2:40PM


More Editorials   Wednesday 7.04.01 4:01AM by Dr.Hooptie
Ahh the lovely activities of the 4th. Nothing like sitting in a lawn chair in the back of a pickup truck watching a half dozen friends shoot roman candles at each other. They always acted surprised when they got hit, too.

Updates
Editorials - The End of Everything and Fuck You I Hate You You Suck
Strategies - Small Unit Tactics (C-S)

Deftones/Godsmack tix came in today right as I was writing my editorial about shitty bands like Godsmack. Ironic coincidence. If you're cool, you should download Like Spinning Plates by Radiohead and Mistakes & Regrets by And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead.


Editorials   Tuesday 7.03.01 1:35AM by Dr.Hooptie
While in a somewhat bitter mood today following a drive up to the dismal UTA campus and four hours of studying before my history final, I threw down a couple of editorials. Many more are in the works from various authors.

Updates:
Editorials - Weed: It's Still Illegal??
Non-Ass Chapped - Codes of Conduct

My friends are often very angry and cynical, especially about certain touchy subjects. You'll find this serves to amuse those of us of milder dispositions. Ben and Lou will eventually steer from the IT field into a job where they can bitch professionally.

The other day I really noticed how nerdy we sound when talking it up geek-like. Got some glazed and bored looks and even some insults from those left out. It's not my fault they can't converse at this baud rate.
