Become who you were born to be!

I've decided to add a Lord of the Rings factoid at the top of each post until the movie starts, also. These facts won't divulge any info in Return of the King (although I read the books so I know what happens). They will only be things that are general knowledge for anyone to know, and include things up to the end of the Two Towers. If you haven't seen both of the LOTR movies that are out yet, well, thats not my fault: Did you know? Galadriel is Arwen's grandmother, and Elrond's mother-in-law? AAAAAH RETURN OF THE KING ARRR! ME WANT TO SEE NOW!!!!! Sorry, I'm just hyped like no other. Had to get that out of my system :) While that is the movie I'm looking forward to the most, there are others I want to see soon. (And I'm putting all of these onto my usb memory to bring into work to show. You know how many people look at the $700 LCD monitors and comment on how nice they look when it's running a Return of the King preview? Oooh yea ;)). Anyway, those movies are: Bad Santa (starring Billy Bob Thorton), Big Fish (Starring Ewan McGregor), The Day After Tomorrow, Envy (Starring Jack Black & Ben Stiller), Peter Pan, Shrek 2, Something's Gotta Give (Starring Jack Nicholson), The Incredibles, and Timeline. So I think I'm going to post in pieces today, and just update it till I go to bed. So far I've gotten up, talked to some people online (figures I'm not hangin out with the person I wanted to today, arg), read a book, downloaded movie previews, and stuff. Now I'm doing this, going to play some games soon. First off - I've downloaded TorrentStorm, which is excellent for downloading multiple torrents. I had to switch my cable modem with a newer one in the house though, as apparently mine kept crashing when it was faced with a lot of bandwidth. It's almost 5 years old, so I guess it's allowed to. One thing though - I have to download on my laptop. If I try downloading torrents on my desktop it starts to lock up until I cancel out the program. Why? I have no idea, I hope someone can help me. Oh, and Flash/USB/Keychain/Portable/whatever the heck you want to call it memory is AMAZING. I own two now (a Sandisk 128MB USB 2.0 one and a Lexar 512MB USB 1.1 one), and they are just the best things ever invented. What are they? They are little tiny devices (that can fit on a keychain) that plug into a USB port on a PC and act as another drive basically. You can drag files to it, and then unplug and go plug into another USB drive on another PC. It works best with Windows XP, as it's all Plug-and-Play. On older machines you might need drivers, but it still works. Cool huh? :) This is fast replacing floppy disks, and with good reason. They range from $25 on sale to over $100, but its well worth it, trust me. They've been around 6-8 months, and the industry is just exploding. Time to go be productive. Update later. The later update: So I went to play FFXI, played for an hour or so, and then fell asleep for an hour and a half, ouch. Then I had dinner, and I had my Progresso Balsamic Vinegar for the first time my mom was around, and she tastes it and shes like "you know, this is just like wine right?" hah. All I know is that its extremely potent stuff. Anyway, so after that I started to watch the Simpsons, both of which were good tonight.. Malcom was good as always, and then off went the TV. And I played more FFXI, and I'm talkin to people, what a day. I should work on my website, or just relax and read and play games.. its nice to be caught up on things. Just have to worry about my finances, lol. I want to buy the ROTK soundtrack, XMen2, Bruce Almighty, and Mario Kart this week, yay. So I got this email from Cingular, since the Wireless Number Portability thing started today: Puerto Rico
