- Artist: Handsome Boy Modeling School
- Album: White People
I can't believe I'm actually posting at work, but I had to. First I was still looking up clips of the brand new Linkin Park song "QWERTY" (or maybe the nickname for now) from the Summer Sonic tour in Japan recently. I came across this clip, of which I don't think the video actually matches the actual song, because the quality of the audio is obviously too good and there's no crowd noise, and of course the words don't match Chester's lips. However, the song is badass and from what others have said, is only a part of the 7 minute 16 seconds full version of the song. Either way, I love it and hope to download the full song to hear the part where Mike sings. I have managed to find/teach myself how to:
1.) Save videos off of YouTube. HARD WAY: Clear your temporary internet files and then downloading the clip from YouTube, and copy + pasting it onto the desktop. EASY WAY: Here is the link: http://keepvid.com/
2.) Convert various video files to the desired format. This came about when I was trying to figure out the new "FLV" file format into WMV or MPEG, but I found the software that allows me to go straight from that file type (to WMV or MPEG if I wanted to) directly to MP3s. Replay Converter: http://www.replay-video.com/
I'm going to make a ringtone from the MP3 that I ripped of the above video. This song is so sick, and I can't wait for Linkin Park's new album... and go see them in concert... a couple of times.

Obsession
So I've always been a pretty big computer enthusiast as far as the aesthetics go and basically making it all look "cool". I'll have to admit that there's something about the glowing blue lights that draws me to it in a similar way that bugs/moths are drawn to flourescent lighting or something... except I don't think I'll ever die from these blue lights. Then again my wallet has always been the one to take the (big) hit as far as these lights go, and the latest addition is...
105 Key Deck Legend
So yeah, I finally gave in and dropped the money for it. I've owned I think 2 different light-up keyboards in the past, both were pretty shitty. The first one worked okay, but eventually crapped out I think. The 2nd one had incredibly horrible keys which stuck due to my holding of the shift key (among others) for SoF2 and that was the end of that. Oh that's right, I had a 3rd... of which had the shortest lifespan of all. That one was a piece of crap, had so many buttons on it I didn't know what to do with, I think I just got tired of that one or something. But anyways, this keyboard has a very original, clicky feel to it - a classical keyboard feel I suppose is the best way to put it. It definetly has the sound effects to it as well, and has a real nice "bouncy" feel to it once you strike the keys. It doesn't require a lot of pressure at all, but I'm still getting used to it after using the Viewsonic keyboard last and it had the laptop keyboard feeling and very low profile - plus the keys on that were a bit closer together so sometimes when I'm playing DoTA I can't reach the keys immediately and have to look down to hit what I want, especially the ESC key. The light is brilliant and looks absolutely great, but I haven't used any of the adjustable levels of light as of yet (it's either at max or turned off). I know that I'll be missing the extra USB ports that the Viewsonic ones offered, as well as the instant mute button, the volume up/down button, and the instant power off button. Hmm... did I make the right choice in buying this one? I think part of the reason was that my desires and wants got to the best of me. I definetly didn't "need" something like this, and I don't have THAT much money to be throwing around, but I had saved up some so I guess I just gave in and bought myself the top of the line item and can brag about it or something. Let's just hope this lives up to what it costs me. How much did it cost? Let's just say that it was above $150 and below $200. And no, I didn't forget the decimal point and that is indeed one hundred & fifty and two hundred.
I am definetly not in the mood for typing right now. It's getting late enough, and Apollo is asleep on my bed. But Will is sitting there on his computer doing shit and had just spend the last 5 minutes on the phone, and the light for the room is turned on very brightly. This is not the mood for typing, nope.
After work last night I went to Brian's and we played beer pong for a good amount of time and just hung out before we headed downtown. We took 2 cars to get there, and drank a bit in front of what some claim to be a "church" that was off of Marsh. We headed to Downtown Brew where we got drinks upstairs and just hung out. Some people went dancing downstairs, and we spend most of the night there. I recall visiting Mission at one point but it was dead so we basically went in and out. Returning to DB we stayed there till last call, before we finally left. Brian, Katie and I visited Tio Alberto's and got some food, before we made our way back to the church where everyone met back up. Steve and Val took off walking for some reason, as did Brian and Katie before Keon decided he was sober enough to drive us all home, first dropping off Alex and a side detour to Taco Bell. We managed to pick up Val and Steve on our way home, and after we were dropped off I got in my car and swung back to pick up Brian and Katie. I spent the night there, before waking up the next morning to come home to clean up and head off to work.
This summer's boring.
