In the beginning…
Walter is the protagonist.
Jesse is the protagonist.
Hank is a side character.
By the end…I think….
Walter is the antagonist.
Jesse is the protagonist.
Hank is the protagonist!
My prediction:
Walter Jr. and Skylar come out of this innocent, and rich.
Hank or Jesse kills Walter.
Marie wears purple.
…that is all. On S03E06 right now…..cuttin through the eps like BUTTUH.
Weekend
Went out to eat Saturday at the Keg and Monday at Sidecar! Very content with the delicious meals…
Spent a lot of time working this week…as per usual. But cleaned up a lot :)
Electronics
Cleaned and organized tons of my existing electronics and computer hardware. Got a whole large rubbermaid bin of this stuff including Power Supply cables, VGA cables, DVI cables, PSUs, USB cables, keyboards, mouses (mice?). Going to donate/recycle them :) Feel great getting rid of so much of my stuff. That just means more room for other stuff!
Work
Really need to start phasing out of my old life as a developer and phasing in to my new life as a manager – need to start stepping away from executing and start stepping into strategy – leading and deciding where the executers should go. It’s hard and it’s more pressure and responsibility than being a developer. Now, I’m not only responsible for my professional career, but the career of 10+ others….now that’s a lotta responsibility! So I’m trying really hard to do right by them.
Breaking Bad
Rewatching Breaking Bad starting yesterday.
I’m on Season 3 Episode 1 right now. So in two days, 20 episodes. Only…36 episodes to go Q_Q…before Sunday night. So…6 days. 6 episodes a day, is that even possible?! I have work for 4 of those days!
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Still playing Animal Crossing quite a bit. It’s been a month…Getting into the Stalk Market!
I just put about 1,500,000 bells into Stalks (Turnips)….hoping to double or triple that! Z started playing too so I now have 2 games to watch for high bells, decreasing my chances for loss.
My plan is to have
1 – Basement (Basement)
1 – Living Room (1st floor)
1 – Washroom (1st floor)
1 – Mario/Game room (1st floor)
1 – Bedroom (2nd floor)
Right now, I only have 1 large living room, 1 unexpanded basement and 1 unexpanded 2nd floor.
That’s it for now! Will try to blog later!
….for my parents.
Yes, not interesting at all.
So I just bought a parts for a new computer.
Motherboard
RAM
CPU
Optical Drive
…
That’s it. Hard drive is still good (it’s a SATA) but unfortunately, had to get a new SATA optical drive as the motherboard I got doesn’t have IDE. My, how times change.
It kinda sucks because I’ve gone quite a few optical drives but none of them will work with any new computer.
My parents now have a computer better than my own – It’s still Dual Core but it’s 3.4 Ghz (mine is a mere 2.4 Ghz).
Their motherboard uses DDR3 RAM (my uses DDR2) though they’re still on XP so I don’t think all the RAM is being properly allocated/used.
I decided not to get a new computer for a while – I’ll get it when mine breaks….not sure what would have to break though. My HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is new, it’s an SSD (Solid State Drive). The PSU’s (Power Supply Unit?) good and if that broke, wouldn’t warrant a new computer. No, the only way for me to get a new computer would be if my Motherboard or CPU (Central Processing Unit) fried or something. Or maybe my Video Card.
Sadly though, I don’t need a new computer and probably won’t get one for the foreseeable future. Patience is a virtue! If I’m patient, I will be rewarded with an awesome-er computer in the future, that is cheaper than what I would spend now.

I’m just killing time on my parent’s computer…waiting it to defrag of all things! When was the last time I defragged a HD?! Probably…when I was using XP!
That’s it for now…will blog more when I get my regular computer hooked up.
…has not been nearly as relaxing as I would have liked so far.
Went karaoking with friends on Friday night at 9pm. Lasted til about 3:30am. Slept at 4ish only to wake up at 10:30am to get ready and take care of my niece and nephew.
Did so this Saturday (today). Got McDonalds for lunch (more on that later), watched Rise of the Guardians and Wreck-it-Ralph with them while playing with my old Legos from my high school days. Then went to get Froyo at Yoyos, played some Wii (Kirby: Return to Dreamland and Mario Kart Wii) and got some Pizzaiolo for dinner. Drove them back to their parents home, came back and cleaned up. And now it’s 2am. And I’m freaking exhausted.
FYI – At McDonalds, when throwing my garbage away, I accidentally threw my car keys away into the McDonalds garbage can. Ugh. I only noticed minutes later, when I got to my car and couldn’t find my keys. I went back to the garbage and peered in a bit. Fortunately, when I threw stuff away, the garbage was already pretty full. Anyways, looked into the garbage for my keys, moved a couple of boxes and papers (ew!) and saw them :S Grabbed them…and was extraordinarily happy and felt fortunate to find them without having to go garbage rummaging. “Lucky”, I thought. Generally, I’m pretty careful with stuff but I was a bit frazzeled, taking care of the kids. It’s…not easy. And I thought being a manager was tough, watching over kids is….much more nerve racking.
Plan to work tomorrow, all day. Have a massage at 3:15pm tomorrow….excited for that cuz I’ve been brutally busy lately. I need to relax.
That’s it for now. Also, still playing some Animal Crossing but damn, I realize some people (as I visit their homes) are WAY ahead of me. It’s scary how much they have. Didn’t really realize the depth of this game. People are HARDCORE.
Anyways, enough outta me. 2am and I feel like it’s 6am. Gnite!
So, as a completist, if I don’t finish a game, it kind of just….lingers as in progress….forever. That’s how my Kid Icarus was. I did not like that game, despite the humor, anime and voice acting. Shame.
My 3DS sat on my desk, unused…for months. Months! But as June comes to an end, so does Nintendo Club’s year-long point collecting. I was 50 coins short of platinum this year so I decided to buy some 3DS games to push me over. I bought Donkey Kong Country 3D and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I started playing Donkey Kong Country but….it’s just like the SNES game…and I didn’t like that all too much. Gave Animal Crossing a try and was like “WTF IS THE POINT OF THIS GAME?!” and was SO disappointed in buying it.
A few days later, decided to give Animal Crossing another try and….man, now I’m playing it like crazy! I’ve only been playing it a week or so but I’ve already expanded my house…twice! I was playing a lot….but I’ve slowed down a bit the last couple of days. But I’m bringing my 3DS to work every day, playing it occasionally. Playing it a bit in the morning, a bit at lunch, when I come home from work, and just before I sleep. I find the music relaxing :) Being Mayor of the town (of Yukino) feels like being a manager. Working hard to make sure the town/team does well!
Unfortunately/fortunately, I just got a new 3DS game today too! Project X Zone and I’ve been playing that (done Prologue 5 atm) for a while. It’s C.R.A.Z.Y. Lookit all the characters in this game!
You make teams of 3 and it’s cool, you mix and match characters. This prologue is all about the introduction of characters so you’ll have the Street Fighter and Tekken guys like “hey, good to see you again” (cuz they met in another game) and then you have Jill Valentine say to Chun Li “Hey, you’re Chun Li from Interpol”…cuz Jill’s a cop. And you have Dante teaming up with Arthur from Ghosts ‘n Goblins and they’re like ‘Sup, we’re both demon hunters’ and it’s AWESOME. Love bringing in characters from around the universes and tying them into a cohesive world. And…I haven’t got there yet but I’m gonna lose it when I see Mega Man X and Zero :D
So not much Animal Crossing tonight, just going to try to get through this prologue.
Also, it’s cool – the art is anime styles. The voice acting is Japanese (! YAY!) with English Subtitles. I think one of the first characters introduced in the game is voiced by D.N.Angel’s Riku Harada. That was pretty cool to notice, haven’t heard that voice in a while.
Anyways….so been playing my 3DS a lot lately….having a lotta fun !
