Don't know what it means in this context, but shabu is slang for crack in tagalog

Bought a 2gig flash drive, cos my old 1gig's been acting up

FW:

Went to greenhills with Jerico, finally found some size 9 Croc sandals

There's a small running man inside the wall socket?
Just back from drinking with some friends, one of whom started challenging passersby to fight. I feel dizzy, maybe i laugh a little more, but i'm still reasonable and able to form sensible sentences.
Am definitely drunk. Brandy and Coke is kinda nice.

Expensive food can suck too. Lobster and mango chunks in melon sauce? Eugh.

Crepes: saucy, expensive lumpia. Tasty though.
This is Dodong. He's almost a guard dog, he headbutts strangers.
One of the biggest german sheperds i've seen. I'm told he's only a year old. My uncle has a peculiar talent for raising dogs that turn into big friendly goofballs that are useless as guard dogs.

Nickelback, Rockstar, all the right reasons. Must have.

16 December 2007

Went drinking with some people from work sat night. They said they saw ghosts, black shapes, and heard voices. Well, that's because it's an old house with inadequate chiaroscuro lighting and eerie religious imagery. Not to mention we'd been drinking for 3 hours.

Terry pratchett diagnosed with early-onset alzheimer's. Sucks mightily.

11 December 2007

William Gibson board hijacked? From my link, or even when clicking on "Discussion" from the official website, you get this crap:
Sing with me now: the flash drive's connected to the laptop, the laptop's connected to the desktop, the desktop's connected to the cellphone.
Desktop still isn't talking to laptop. She's jealous of the new girl, i guess. Current kluge is ferrying data back and forth on my flash drive.
Re-reading Coraline. Has its moments, but overrated, the hyperbolic blurbs are unfounded. Still, the movie version could be good, dakota fanning is perfect casting.

Man pedaling bike with his hand. Guy was moving pretty fast too, almost missed him.
Been playing a whole lot of Bubble Bobble on the Asus. This is not why i bought a notebook computer (apparently not a laptop, manual even says don't use it on your lap) but i'm power cycling to break in the battery. Penguin Racer's fun too, and generally messing around to get used to it, but this doesn't feel like progress yet.

Woot! Got an Asus EEE laptop. Still not the Ono-Sendai Cyberspace Seven, but it'll do. Goofy name though, sounds like a cantonese epithet.

06 December 2007

Re-reading Bukowski. I've just realized that the major positive motive force in my life isn't joy or love. It's amusement.
"Umlaut"is such a tremendously sexy word.
Heh, overheard my boss cry out "I am Beowulf!"

05 December 2007

There's a line in a book of criticism that's always stayed with me, that the most important idea in twentieth-century fiction is "exile."
Re-reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by dave eggers. Makes me want to write again. I'm hoping to score a cheap laptop with the christmas bonus.

"AXN" is a palindrome. In morse code. This is the sort of thing that alienates me.
