Shallow Dell

by Urgo on October 15, 2002

Last week a lot of things happened which is one reason why I have not updated in so long. I had two exams which I believe I did fairly well on (yay!). A 311 (algorithms) exam and a 445 [information systems (databases)] exam. Also my group in 320 (software design) had a group presentation to um, present. If those events, and the studding/preparing for those were not enough I also had to get my car taken care of.
Monday I had it toed to the person who worked on it last since I thought it was the same thing that went wrong on it again. I am not sure if it is now, and may have made a bad choice in bringing it that far. It has been a week and still I do not have a car.
Among all the other excitement last week I also got a great deal on a laptop. $800 for a Dell Inspirion 8000, 1ghz, 20 gig hdd, 384 megs ram, 32mb ati mobility, 1 1/2 years of full service warranty, 8x dvd, etc. I am in the process of getting debian installed and configured on it, but right now only winxp works. The current webcam shot shows the laptop if you’d like to see what it looks like.
Well its 2:11am now. I started this blog entry and then watched Shallow Hal. I have been wanting to see this movie since it was in the theaters about a year ago. I think the night I tried to see it it was sold out and I got stuck seeing something so bad (From Hell) that I wish I had never left my room. Seeing the movie finally was great. I’d highly recommend it, and if you were thinking of From Hell forget about it. From Hell needs to go back there. Shallow Hal is a winner. Good night.

Emily thought that movie was hilarious. But it’s not nice to make fun of fat people! Was there a plot?

Woopsie. Well my car is kind of a toad heh.
And yes there was a plot to Shallow Hal. It was a great movie that tought you an important lesson. You can’t judge a book by its cover.. er a person by their cover……. err.. yeah, well what I mean is what is important is who a person is, not what they look like. Yeah.

I’ve followed that strategy, and so far I’ve ended up with two less than attractive psychos. 🙂 Just bad luck I guess.
Lesson learned: Sometimes you can’t judge a personality by it’s cover either.

Sometimes a lesson learned about book covers is all that one needs.

No Jay! Not Martha! Atleast put his name as Martha in the links. Your site has been stolen of it’s cleanliness.
