Howdy Foresight Planet!

Just for a quick introduction: My name is Christopher Giroir and I’m a programmer at Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. I mainly do web programming (Mostly in tcl and php) and we do use lots of open source technologies which is cool. My other [...]

Weekend in a nutshell!

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Tony visited us for a little while Saturday night! We went to Rod Dee which is an awesome Thai place and brought it home with us. I started to feel a little bit sick in the car but that was it.

DotA kicked butt in Karazhan. My druid got her healing ring from HH, which only leaves the pewpew ring for me to get for my mage. I played a ton of Drakengard 2 last night and went to bed way too late (1am). Slept in way too late (8am). I remember waking up to the alarm with a sad feeling of indifference and then I fell back asleep.

My stomach was pretty well-behaved all weekend. I trust this will not last but I am happy while it does :)

Anyway I better go get dressed so I can go to work! I can’t decide if I should bring The Amber Spyglass or my DS for Phoenix Wright. It is harder to play PW while eating though because you generally need 2 hands for it :( So probably will bring the book.

Also Erin linked me this paladin video which I thought was mucho funny.

On The Surface

Friday, October 26th, 2007

They’re a great band. Used to be Boston based until I moved to Boston and they moved to LA. For a while they didn’t have a set guitarist and the guitarist from Scattered played for them. I went to see Scattered at UMass a lot and they were excellent. Great songwriting.
Anyway saw On The [...]

Portal

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I am almost done with Portal. I was going to see a show tonight but I was STARVING when I got home, and Chris thought the show was at 9. So, due to feeling hungry even after eating my cheese ravioli, I continued to munch on smart food way past when I probably should have. Then Chris calls me from Harpers Ferry and tells me that On the Surface isn’t playing until 11 T_T meaning if I hadn’t been chowing down on Smartfood for the past hour, I could have gone. I was just getting the point where it was too much food too :/

So Chris came back for a while and watched me play Portal and criticized my stupidity to no end! ;P Then he left around 10:30 to catch the bus to go back.

I am really close to the end I think, but I started feeling motion sick so I stopped and now here I am on the computer! I think I am going to try to get my Horseman helm for Shae now in WoW.

Portal is hilarious so far. I can’t wait to hear the end song (I have been avoiding it on purpose).

Portal

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Portal is one incredible game, right down to the ending theme written by Jonathan Coulton. The game is so simple, yet is so fun. Hopefully they do make a Portal 2. I started last night, and after this morning I have the main game beaten and 4/6 advance levels beaten. Doing the challenges is going [...]

Go Red Sox!!

South Park is Genius

Friday, October 19th, 2007

This show is incredible. This was one of those shows with a great setup and then it just KILLS you when they finally deliver the very simple line that tells you what they are very simply trying to say. I think that’s what I like best about the show. Their messages aren’t incredibly complex. They’re [...]

MMB

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I wish when bands came back from 4-year pauses and played in their home town (that I now live in) they would play a venue so that at least MOST fans can get tickets to ONE of their 5 shows. Hopefully they announce some normal concerts soon cause this is bullshit.
