Since I got annoyed yesterday with having to uninstall some old games to make room for new ones, I decided to do some OS shuffling. Previously, I had a 160GB hdd partitioned with 50GB for Vista and the remainder for my apps. I had a newer 500GB drive that I was using to dual boot to Ubuntu, which wasn't exactly using all that space. So, I backed up a bunch of data and reinstalled Vista on a 50GB partition of the 500GB drive, Linux will go on the 160GB drive.

Dang, Vista is finicky. The first time I installed it back in Oct, it was flawless and painless. This time, I had to remove half my RAM, physically move drives around in my case because Vista wouldn't install unless I was installing it to the drive connected to SATA 0. Ugh. But, I've got everything good to go now, just need to reinstall a great many games.

I've gone through The Simpsons Movie, Ghostrider, and now, finally, I am going to actually try watch Star Wars Episode 3. I never made it past the first 20 minutes when I bough the DVD. The shitty acting and craptacular droid jokes just pissed me off one.

What makes this time different, you ask? Well, for starters, I've got plenty of time to kill while I reinstall a truck load of games. Secondly, I'm on my 4th Killian's. Maybe beer will make this movie decent.

Ugh, Ep3 was like Ep2, skip the first 3/4s of the movie and just watch the fight scenes near the end. I can see how Anakin burning would scare young children though.

This reformat/reinstall has shaped up into an all day project. Its 1950 now, and I've been working on it since 1100.

For some reason, when I first read that I missed the 'c' in clicking.

I am confused. why didn't you just ghost it?
