idk if i am going to get through the Lecture tonight???

i mean i might but i am so exhausted from a full day that i may turn in early. And just as i say that; i feel another craving for #coffee coming on. idk. stay tuned.

I'm doing a bunch of shit tonight

Online, that is. I am working my way through Lecture 1, learning a lot about taking source code and compiling it into machine code, and the steps to do so (or at least some steps). And then I will be moving onto the “Command Line” short video after this “main” lecture is done.

I also migrated all my REAL links into Chrome bc Safari is somehow outdated on this Mac (even though everything else is up to date) and CS50x stuff will not work properly in Safari. So....whatever.

be back in a bit!

Still Into This Album

I will be a #SelfTitled fanboy for the rest of my natural life. I am referring to Paramore's S/T obvs. Fucking album is dope, enthralling, cathartic, motivating, epic.

Anyway, just procrastinating af right now. But i am making good on my album listening party promise! :)

#SelfTitledLife

multitask(ing is a false illusion)

i did a lot of shit in a short period of time just now. I d/l'd Google Hangouts on Chrome (which i will use as a stand-alone #app, ignore Chrome itself), i d/l'd ALL of the “shorts” videos for Week 1 of #CS50x so i can have them for offline viewing and not have to worry about a #data connection, and then i put each video in the Week 1 folder here on desktop. The Master Folder is called, you guessed it, CS50x(!) and it is going on the flash drive when the course is over (bc it probz takes up hella space on my SSD).

i am gonna try to BS every so often w/ my brother-in-law on Hangouts but he has a “serious” job now so i don't think he is going to be able to talk during the day. NBD.

Third cuppa #coffee: BREWING!

bus busy busy

well, not really. i am going to be busy at nightfall when i do my studying (will wrap-up the lecture at that time. Hell, probably before noon come to think of it).

as for right now, 8:51 AM, i am just happy to have caffeine in my system and that the sun is out. #goodtimes

i got an #AVGN episode to watch

Episode 139, Mega Man Games

It was filmed as the 10 year anniversary episode in 2016, but i never got around to watching it. I am going to save that viewing for when i have myself a nice Monster Absolute Zero in my hand. It is sure to be a classic.

I went on a little bit of a nostalgia trip on Twitter just a little bit ago which got me thinking about the #Atari2600 we used to have in the 80's and that is what got me wanting to watch some AVGN. But even Angry Video Game Nerd, himself, (or the character, series, whathaveyou) has a nostalgia thing about it. One of the most potent memories (that i swear, i will have until i die from this Earth) is having a Monster Absolute Zero for the first time in my old apartment about a month or so after i moved in there and turning on AVGN (Die Hard episode) and navigating it to “full-screen” on a PS3 on a flatscreen, yet still box, television set (yes it was in color, was HD, yada yada). I will never forget how incredibly funny that episode and every single episode of AVGN is. I have watched the playlist (starting at Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde....or maybe it was the Castlevania episode?) many, Many, MANY times. But my favorite episode is one that is a “banned” episode that is only available through a DVD (that someone else uploaded to YT) and it is an official (and very funny) Nerd episode titled “Atari Porn” and it is definitely....interesting (& uber-perverted).

Actually, no. I have misspoken. My favorite episode is Sword Quest. By far. Check it out!

i am starting the day

dishes, started. coffee, brewed and drank. kitchen, somewhat cleaned. laundry, done yesterday (or the day before that....yes, the day before that). and i have plenty of everything i need and now i can focus on finishing the rest of the Lecture 1 of #CS50x. Good.

Gonna be a humid day

i am having shoestring fries for breffy....

....and it is def not the best choice as far as health goes. in fact, it is a decidedly bad and unhealthy choice of foodskee to have at 6AM. But, here i am getting ready to take them out of the oven (at least they are not coming from a deep fryer).

Also, looking forward to the day. gonna be fun!

Born Slippy

Some nights you just gotta sit back and listen o the heavenly intro to the song “Born Slippy” by Underworld and chill tf out. This is the song they play at the end scene of Trainspotting (in my top 5 favorite movies of all time), and it never fails to put me in a relaxed mood. And then the song picks up into a sort of classic techno song and i like that part, too. I think i have one technoish song on my “a simple collection” playlist on Spotify by...someone Parrish. Great musician though. Saw him on Noisey, i think. Theo Parrish is his name!

I got a full day of a lot of nothing happening today but i really do have to finish Lecture 1. Very important that i get through that.

Be back in a bit!

i don't know why my head is so foggy tonight. Probably because it has been Dog knows how long since i have had a cigarette and i am a p heavy smoker when i do have them and i am not having any fun at all tonight.

That is not totally true, i do have nicotine lozenges and everything else i could want in life, so, it isn't all that bad. The thing i want most thought is for this loan discharge to go through ASAP. As soon as it does, i can hurry up and NOT enroll at STLCC because it has taken too long and it is too late to enroll in the Fall 2018 semester (classes start in a few days ffs). What i can and will do, though, is continue w/ #CS50x and the #EdX trip and get the certification that i am going after right now and build the #app that i wanna build.

good times.

P.S. i promise i will not be repeating myself constantly. i just had to hammer out some words to break up the fogginess in my head. :/
