Case mod

Link: Half life 2 computer case
I don't know who the guy that did this is, but I bow down before is mastery of the case modding (That's his computer there).
Who says you can't combine Martha-Stewart-level crafts with computer nerdry?

Music

by Tears for Fears:

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one new me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

Wandering

Today I wandered. Friend B taught me the value of walks. I taught myself the dangers.

Robert Frost adequately described wandering thus:
"I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
O luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night. "

Was it worth it?

In the end, when all is said and done, you have to ask yourself, "was it worth it?"

I look at other's actions and sometimes say to myself, "man I hope he thinks it's worth it," because some things, such as dignity, true love, and friendship aren't worth risking.

But sometimes they are. What is worth the risk? What is worth the payoff? The answer is up to you.

Today's blog sounds remarkably like a Vash the stampede thing like he does when previewing the next episode.

Today I had a little extra time before work, so I laid down on the bike storage boxes and let the sun's warmth radiate upon me. I prayed I wouldn't fall asleep and miss work.

I saw Sara at the cafeteria (perhaps I'll talk about her in some other blog) and I swooned a little (is that something guys are allowed to do?).

Later R gave me a haircut, so I removed my shirt to prevent getting hair all over it. Then she called me Mr. Nudypants, which tickled me, cause I was still wearing pants. She also told me something which kinda shocked me, but I must keep it to myself. I finished the day with the rules of attraction, which is a very cool movie. Sad though.

And now I've taught the spellcheck the word nudypants.
