No brainer

There’s this hilarious and addictive game, No Brainer. You answer really simple questions as fast as you can and try to grow the brain bigger and bigger. Here’s my result for Game 1 (there are three versions):

My result

I challenge you.
(I’m not saying I have a good result, it’s just my current personal best.)

Following instructions

The instructions above the textarea in the WP forums states

Put code in between `backticks`.

People have hard time understanding and/or following this. Sometimes there’s <code>, [code] or just ‘. But this is definitely the cutest of them all:

‘backticks’
<object classid="…" width="320" height="256" codebase="…">
[…]
</object>
‘backticks’

I survived

I had a pretty broken night, after going to sleep around 12 am and still looking at the clock at 12:40 I got up at 5 and 6 and then eventually 7.

Why the fidgetiness? I had an exam today :) Well, I studied all day yesterday and before that — not enough in my own view but the best I could do (read: bother) as usual. It was Finnish grammar. Phonology, morphology, syntax, clause structure… I think I did alright. There were a few things I wasn’t sure of so I had to leave them only partially solved. The result will come around July 20th, so I’ll just have to wait and see.

Now, shopping!

Blabbety blab

Someone let loose a loud blabber in here. She talks so fast I don’t understand how the people she’s talking to understand a longlistofconnectedwords she says. And she shrieks, too! Luckily my day’s done soon… :roll:

Simon’s slow!?

This is ridiculous. This is from HeliAttack 3 at MiniClip — an online Flash game:

Slow computer

Slow computer is something less than 2 Ghz? Simon, my computer, is 1,4. I know, it is quite old, but I’m going to buy a new computer pretty soon. Maybe I’ll name it Simon Jr. because I like the name too much…

No more shopping

… at least for a while. I was supposed to find a storing box for a stack of loose DVDs, instead I bought hangers, 2 King books (Thinner and Night Shift), a bedsheet (for the blanket cover+pillowcase set I bought yesterday along with a set for my sister’s birthday), and the Indiana Jones DVD boxset. , looking for the boxset actually, I bought the XF season 5 dvd box. And a while ago I bought Shawshank Redemption and Christine DVDs…

Digging gold

\o/ ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh \o/
Check this out:
DVD box
Guess who found and bought it today! No, not “some crazy person”… oh, you did mean me. Yup, that’s correct. All episodes of season 5 (including Chinga, written by Stephen King!!) plus extra!!! I know, I know, they’re showing XF on tv too and I’m recording it, but do you honestly think I can resist an XF (or alien…) item when I see one?

Happyhappyjoyjoy.

This makes me want to redesign my XF site…

Being sneaky

I hope you got this blog bookmarked (or blogrolled in some way) because I removed the direct link from the domain index page. Why? Probably for no good reason, but I just don’t want my texts find their way into wrong eyes… :P

Game nostalgia

From a conversation with Mac I got a bad itch to play Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. We used to have it on a diskette but at least I didn’t find it anymore (Dad had an old disk formatting frenzy a while ago) so I pouted a little and started looking for it. Luckily I did find it, and in the process I found a lovely site for abandoned games (and old games in general), Abandonia. I downloaded the DosBox that helps running old games on modern machines and also a couple of games I haven’t really tried properly yet.

But I did play Indiana today. I’ve never played it from beginning to finish because we didn’t have the manual and I never got the hang of fighting. (Instead, I played a little of the beginning and then loaded a save game at the temple in Iskenderun.) After talking to Mac, I found out that one does not have to fight the guards when fleeing Iskenderun. So of course I wanted to try it that way! When I was at the castle, I first tried to be very clever and gave Donovan Indy’s “Grail Diary” instead of Henry’s (Indy’s dad), but then Henry didn’t want to go to Berlin which was a must if I wanted to avoid getting caught at guard posts. Finally I met the Führer and got my easy travelling. I even managed to fly the biplane this time! But I’ll probably play it a second time because I want to fly in the zeppelin, too.

As if I didn’t have enough games to play, I downloaded some old games from Abandonia. But I think Vampire is my #1 priority. (I got past a couple of difficult fights again on Wednesday/Thursday — all I can say is, Katana is great!! Slash slash slash and enemies go down like… hay!)

Free as a donkey

My aunt just wrote in an email that I’m free as their donkey grazing outside. She was referring to my ability to try out jobs here and there because I don’t have the burden of a family. Well, that’s one way to look at it. More optimistic than the one I’m currently having, at least.

Donkey… :laugh:
