Liverpool blew their chances and i'm bz preparing for an exam

Well Liverpool blew their chances to be World Champs for the 3rd bloody time playing second fiddle to Brazilian clubs. No comment on that.

I'm busy preparing for an exam that is due on the 21st of December. Shall return here to blog more often when it is done.

Can't Help myself to add this

MANCHESTER UNITED CRASHED OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGES!!!!

Another post for today

I forgot to add this, i'm now currently running on Windows XP 64, since Daemon Tools x64 was released, i've jumped onto the 64 bit bandwagon (was waitin for them to release DT x64 for 5 months). Performance wise its not bad, kinda same with XP 32, games fps drops by around 2-3 fps, thats negligible. Media encoding actually performed better, i'm using HCenc which gives very high quality mpeg2 encoding and running with lanczos4 resizing......it's faster than my XP 32 installation by about 20 mins or so for the same file. My new Pioneer 110D drive is also workin flawlessly on my system as well......thank god, I've had a bad time with my SONY DW22A back in England until I RMA-ed it and the replacement drive work good as well - gave it to my sis anyways. As it is now, my system specs are as follow.....

Shuttle SN95G5 (with some moddin done on airflow)
AMD 64 3500+ @ 2.4ghz, 240fsb x 10
1 gig OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 RAM (Samsung TCCD)
ATI Radeon 9800 pro, OCed like hell too
2 x 160gb Maxtors
Pioneer DVR 110D (8.37 Buffalo firmware with bitsetting)
SONY SDM HS75P/S LCD

Apart from some problems tryin to get some software to work with XP64, it was all goin on smoothly after 3 days of installing it. You'll run into some headaches trying to get the ASPI layers to work with XP64, heres a hint, look for FrogAspi on the net and replace it with the winaspi32.dll file on ur installation of XP64 and it'll work like a charm. Photoshop runs flawlessly using the 5.11 ATI drivers for XP64, anything other than that will give you a stupid lagging menus problem. I have yet to try Firefox 64 yet, but so far the 32 bit Firefox 1.5 is adequate, fast and zippy. As usual, torrents works fine.

I've also got myself like 6 albums from differing artistes.......Dido, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Velvet Revolver and Gwen Stefani. Loads of differing music styles to listen to......well I usually dont listen to those artistes....but i'll give it a try since i'm running out of stuffs to listen to as i'm pretty much accustomed to all the old school rock bands now. Still hoping to be able to get the B'z album - Love & B'z, probably will check it out somewhere in J-Town to get it soon. Haha i've also forgot to add that I watched Harry Potter back in November on the night it was released......very nice, liked it alot.......and loads of peeps were dressed up for the occasion on that nite as well haha, more so than it was back in England (a surprise).

Well well well, finally at long last.......after 24 hours and 70+ mins that Peter Crouch has been playing football, since May the 7th, he finally scored and against Wigan.......thank god you broke the duck. Liverpool is up to 3rd now and thats 8 games without conceeding a goal as well. On the up we go.

I caught the Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon on cable TV over here on ESPN2, that was the first soccer match i've got to watch in about 2 months. It was kinda dull of a game but of course there was some nice tempo goin on in the game, nonetheless entertaining watching my team churn out a solid performance against the southern fairies.

The weather over where I am is dippin into the freeze zone during the night......frost and frozen pavements galore haha. Luckily there is a room heater to heat us up. It's still pleasant weather in the daytime with good sunshine and all, its just all the opposite when the sun swings down at 5pm.

Sidenote, i've finally managed 75 pounds single dumbbell incline bench press on each hand, hoping to get up to 80 pounds next week. Did a 245 pounds benchpress as well......hopefully i'll get to work up more weight really soon.....feels good to be in shape.

Long drive home........

The trip to vegas was pretty nice, except for the losing money part at the craps table and the drive home. Vegas, what can I say, if any of you watch CSI, thats how it looks like, a city that pops out of nowhere while you're crossing the Mojave desert, hotels galore, shoppin galore........oops I left out......casino's galore.

The drive there was pleasant, left at around 7am ++ and got there about 10:15am or so, 3 hour drive for a 260 mile journey not too bad. There was absolutely nothing to see except for the fact you'll pass by Edward's Air Force base which is gigantic I must add, other than that it was just deserts the whole way. The drive back was another matter, should have stayed one more night to avoid the congestion, guess what, drove back at 4pm, got home at around 11pm or so. There was about 100,000,000 cars on the bloody road, 6-7 pile up along the way and a bloody freezing desert cold outside and the fact that my legs went numb hitting on the accelerator and brakes.

All in all it was fun, will definitely head there again but not on a busy weekend.

Sidenote, Liverpool raked up their 6th win in the premiership, heading into 7th heaven, we're at 4th place now.
