I thought it was a grounding/shorting issue, so I pulled the mothe.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=6#238 Noobie Nooberson langdon 2006-06-08T20:13:00 I did. Well at least that's what I remember doing since I shut out all of the bad things that happened during my day. Cameron and I had lunch at Hardee's for a good while and I think I had a smile on my face most of the time. Aside from a few hours a.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=6#237 I Laughed A Lot Today langdon 2006-06-06T10:12:00 My dad's birthday was yesterday and I was feeling bad because I forgot to call him. I did send a card though... and I shipped a birthday gift to him from me, my brother, and my sister earlier in the week. It was a PlayStation2, a memory card, and a co.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=6#236 Haha, Owned langdon 2006-06-04T19:19:00 I told myself that I was going to buy me a new computer as soon as I finished a recent project. I finished up the project earlier this week and purchased a bunch of parts today from NewEgg.

The rest of my week is pretty much shot since they're airing 3 hours of live coverage every night through Friday. PS3 is going to be released on November 17th @ $499 with a 20gb drive and $599 with a.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=5#233 Information Overload langdon 2006-05-09T19:21:00 I was already late for work this morning when I couldn't find my wallet. In my tired state, I looked just about everywhere I thought it might have been, but couldn't catch a break. At some point during the hunt, I got the idea that it might have slipp.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=5#232 Not So Proud langdon 2006-05-08T23:45:00 I am though-- Two weeks ago Sharon noticed some wetness under the sink, so I checked it out and found that the garbage disposal was leaking. I was able to identify that a gasket had gone bad, so I ordered a replacement online. When it came, I r.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=5#231 Proud of Myself langdon 2006-05-07T23:36:00 I played Golf today after work with some work pals. There were five of us, so we unfortunately had to split up into two groups. I played with Jason, which was good because I got to connect with him on a different level than we're able to at work. I m.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=5#230 Birdie, Baby langdon 2006-05-05T00:24:00 What happened to April? I don't feel like I really got anything done in April to speak of. It felt like the month just flew by me. I know a did a lot of things... I started it off in Richmond playing golf on the 1st and 2nd with my parents and .. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=5#229 Freaking May langdon 2006-05-02T00:27:00 My pal is going to move to Williamsburg. =/.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=4#228 Sad News langdon 2006-04-15T11:32:00 It's Wednesday night. Lost was on 4 hours ago. I didn't watch it. I didn't even think about watching it. I'm not even going to download it and watch it. That's how little I care about it. I did watch Southpark though, nothing ground breaking.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=3#227 Couldn't Care Any Less langdon 2006-03-30T01:08:00 I bought Kingdom Hearts II today and played it for two hours. While the web site sucks (too bad Grow Interactive didn't do it), the game itself looks be a very promising sequel. Unfortunately I don't exactly have ample time to play it. The rele.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=3#226 Pushin' the Sales langdon 2006-03-29T23:55:00 Nothing -- that's the problem. I have nothing exciting to write about to really wow my reader (singlular on purpose, not a typo). On Friday, Saint Patrick's Day, I was going to make an entry called "Luck of the Langdon". In it, I was .. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=3#225 What Do You Have to Say For Yourself? langdon 2006-03-20T23:45:00 I wrote a bit on arcade/. We made some good progress that I'm really excited about. I've been wanting to write more about warmth and the upcoming summer, but I just haven't had the time. It's 2006. It's mid-March. It's already Friday. I need.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=3#224 Arcades &amp; Warmth langdon 2006-03-16T23:56:00 It's the 9th and I haven't written anything in some time. A lot has happened too -- I'll try to summarize. February 17th - Sharon's dad got a clean bill of health. Yay! February 19th - I walked around Norfolk and took some photographs wi.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=3#223 Lame, Right? langdon 2006-03-09T22:04:00 It's February 15th, 2006 and I haven't eaten one conversation heart all year. This saddens me greatly, because it's very unlike me. I didn't even think about buying Valentine candy this year. I feel like I've jipped myself somehow. I need to get out.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=2#222 Need More Candies! langdon 2006-02-15T01:02:00 Ever since my grandfather gave me a classical guitar in October, I've been playing more and more. Unfortunately I quickly realized that playing the gifted guitar was quite troublesome because the action on the neck is awful. Also, my electric, while e.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=2#221 Guitarrific! langdon 2006-02-12T21:07:00 I'm reading over this list and I'm asking myself: Who really likes U2 anymore? U2 is crap -- they might even be worse than the Rolling Stones about not knowing when to quit. Seriously though, "Album of the Year"? Did they really deserve tha.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=2#220 U2? Really? Really? langdon 2006-02-09T08:45:00 It's February already. WTF, right? Wrong. It's great working for a competent company that appreciates your work and shows it well. I worked some grueling hours back in January. My company paid us overtime for most of it and took my team out t.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=2#219 February Came langdon 2006-02-02T21:09:00 Every day I tell myself I'm going to go to sleep at a normal hour. Every day I find myself up at after midnight and sometimes one AM. I will regret it tomorrow, just as I regretted staying up until two AM last night. Lost was crap tonight. The.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#218 Every Day langdon 2006-01-26T01:03:00 Jayson Litrio made the best piano remix ever of a Mega Man II track a few years ago. According to my Last.FM I've listened to it 31 times since August of 2004, but the actual number since I first heard the song is probably more like 5 times that. Earl.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#217 I Played Music langdon 2006-01-23T23:02:00 As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'll be out. I won't see the light of day for probably 12 hours or more. That is not a good thing, as I only have 1 more day of my weekend to attempt to enjoy. I loath sleep. I'm considering a permanent schedule c.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#216 I'm Screwed langdon 2006-01-22T03:44:00 ...and working. Something not recommended unless you've got really good company. And even still, make sure there's an end in sight. I thought there was one today -- a light at the end of the tunnel -- but tomorrow it drags on. A bed feels nice.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#215 42 Hours Awake langdon 2006-01-21T01:12:00 This year is not turning out to be so great. Funny thing, years -- karma must've thought I was enjoying 2005 too much, so now it's just going to throw some foul shit my way. It's only the 16th though, so it maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but thus f.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#214 Two-Thousand And Shit langdon 2006-01-16T23:58:00 It was apparently in the low 60s outside today. It's January right? This is the best winter to date. Ever. Maybe. I wore a short-sleeve shirt to Cirque Dreams last night and was comfortable walking to and from the car. Everyone else there had thes.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#213 The Weather Outside Is Frightful! langdon 2006-01-10T00:48:00 Thanks to the Ungvarsky's (Amber and Andrew), I had an awesome Sunday night. I'm usually not up for going out on work nights, but this was totally worth it. For Christmas, Sharon and I were given tickets to Cirque Dreams in Newport News. The four of .. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#212 Great, Great Night! langdon 2006-01-08T23:36:00 I hate the media. I hate them a lot. I also am beginning to hate people a lot too. I'm sick of hearing about the miners in West Virginia. Yes, it's awful what happened and nobody deserves to die trying to earn a living, but the fact that everyone is.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#211 And Now I'm Going To Be Mean langdon 2006-01-05T22:22:00 A&amp;W and Breyers Natural Vanilla (with Real Vanilla Bean specks) hits the spot. That's really all I have to say for today... http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#210 Root Beer Float langdon 2006-01-05T00:38:00 Turns out when I said "it shouldn't be so bad" (referring to work), I was totally wrong. We now have ridiculous deadlines for huge changes on a project that I don't think anyone I work with is very proud of. Plus the deadline runs right into.. http://www.langdonx.com/?y=2006&m=1#209 Welcome Back, Now Get To Work langdon 2006-01-03T22:40:00 I am going to bed now. In the morning, I will be going back to work. I had a good 10 day run, but now the time has come for me to face reality and earn more paychecks.
