Need to do:

1. Find camera
2. Find camera charger
3. Charge said camera with said camera charger (or, at least, bring charger to LAN Party just in case)
4. Withdraw cash from bank
5. Buy 12 pack of pop
6. Pack up computers
7. Pay Andrew $10
8. Set up computers
9. Have fun, goddamnit.

Oh, and get my head shaved.

My day started at about two or three in the afternoon.  I got up for...  some reason.  I do not know.  I dicked around on the computer for a bit before showering and picking up David.  We stopped off at Andrew's really quickly, where Brian already had his computer for some pre-LAN+no-more-school fun.  Talked with Brian about computer stuff and placed an order on Newegg for a pretty decent combo.  Din will yet live, thanks to Brian's old hardware (though the MicroATX board that Brian will be getting would be GREAT for Din).  Took Brian to the MST building for his robotics (?) banquet, then came home, ate dinner (cheesy hot dogs!), and got to work a minute early (whoo!). 

Work was... slow.  I forgot to see how many tickets we sold, but it was... dead.  Dead, as in, we probably did only four or five thousand people.  I guess the next big weekend will be Harry Potter weekend.  Possibly Die Hard... maybe.

Because it was slow, I mostly dicked around with Christian all night.  It was fun.  Got off around two-thirty...  I brought my mp3 player, but I really should have brought my DS.  There's still a few GBA and DS games I need to finish... 

Came home, got three e-mails saying that my newegg.com order existed, that my card was charged, and that the order was shipped.  Estimated time of arrival: Wednesday.

Had a... good conversation with Linda.  Generally there is not much said between us...  But not tonight (this morning, ergh).  It was cool.  She, um, has seen the pictures of me with the goldfish in my mouth...  :oops:

The LAN is in a mere seven hours...  and I cannot go to sleep.  I was dead tired about three hours into my shift (odd, because I had only woken up six hours before), but now...  I am wide awake.  Meh.  Just drink a lot of Bawls, maybe grab some Cocaine (an energy drink, I swear to god.  Kevin had some before work sometime last week...  He was... energetic, to say the least), to stay up for the LAN.  Apparently the Sunoco at Mound and 19 sells 'em.

My mp3 player has the oddest radio tuner.  It gets great signal just a few feet from the ceiling fan (coming from the hallway; and a real ceiling fan, as in.. in the ceiling, pulls air in from the windows and up through the attic) and then just a few more steps and it is static.  Great in front of the fridge.  Horrible in front of the bathroom sink.  Pretty good by the big tree in the backyard.  Not so great near the clothes-line pole just a few feet from the tree.

I am extremely excited about the LAN...  nervous about becoming bald...  excited about Din...  and pretty content with giving up.  I believe that I need to make one more final effort, to see if I really should give up, but...  I am slowly finding happy again.  And giving up will help.  Moving on, I believe it is called (I wonder who will take this what way).

89X has so many freaking forty-minute "x-blocks" at night / in the morning.  It is pretty nice.
