Me? I procrastinated homework and I also forgot about some that I had due tomorrow, so I am finishing it right now.

What about you?

0335. Last (of 3) 13 hour shift of the weekend, and I've got five hours to go.

I have a class at 9, and If I go to sleep, I won't wake up, regardless of my 4 alarms that are set to go off in 1 minute intervals of each other.

You need to quit getting alarms that are rated at "loud". You need to get two that are rated "piss off the fvcking neighbors". :D

I know what you mean, I always do that I think, "hmm its only four, i'll get about four hours of sleep so I can focus." yeah right. I end up sleeping an or shutting off my alarms even though I have three, one of them being citrus alarm where I have to get up and type in my password in order to shut off. :D

It's not that I sleep through the alarms, I get up, turn them off, and get back to bed ;).

I have a system with my setup (which I should really change to avoid getting around it.) The first alarm goes off, which is at my computer desk. I turn that one off, and lay on the chair until the second one goes off on the counter next to my dresser. I go there, turn it off, then lean on the dresser, until the next one goes off in front of my T.V.. I go there, turn it off, and lean on the T.V. stand. The last one is the small table next to my bed, which puts me in bed range, and I get right back to sleep. :)

For the past four days, I've been working on the car by myself. It's mid-engine, which SUCKS. I dropped the engine, changed the clutch, changed the timing belt, changed the water pump, changed a couple hoses, put it back in the car, and put it all back together. I'm dead tired, sore all over, and tomorrow I have to tighten the last few bolts, fill it up with oil/coolant/etc., and clean out the entire carport. I'm NOT looking forward to it, and I think that staying up is kind of my way of putting off tomorrow.

Getting a 300-odd pound motor lined up perfectly with its motor mounts is NOT fun by yourself. I had to have boards jammed in every which way, hooked up to strings with blocks and tackles so I could pull on the right string, step on the board just so, and nudge the motor right into place. I NEVER want to do that again.

Do it reverse then, but I know what its like, you will find someway to end up back in bed, your setup sounds almost exactly like mine, one by the bed goes off, the one on the computer desk goes off, citrus alarm goes off on my computer, I stop it then just go back to bed, these are all obviously in my room and by room isn't that big, I should just set on in the living room. :)

Because I didn't wake up until 4:30 this afternoon.





...because I worked from 2200 last night until 0800 this morning.

I think I'm going to bed now, though.

Also trying to figure out best route for upgrading to pci-e.

sell your mobo/gpu and buy a x850xt, with your choice of motherboard.

AHH cant take this

I have two options. One is get a new case (my case is too small for video cards, my gt barely fits) gpu and motherboard. Or I can just buy a 360 with that money and play oblivion (been waiting for that game since forever) as if I had a really expensive rig. I've been trying to decide for awhile already.
