Happy Easter!

I hope everyone's enjoying their Easter long weekend. I know I am, and by enjoying I mean I get to sleep in and sit around being unproductive. I wish I could have had more chocolate but I think my Dad ate all of it already. Or maybe I did. It's hard to say, we're both kind of notorious for having a sweet tooth.

Or you know, I could just wait until the end of the the holiday and then rush to buy all the discount chocolate I can get my grubby hands on.

No one is safe.

In other non-Easter related news, this weekend I'm finally getting around to upgrading my computer. EVA has faithfully served me for nearly all of my years of University, and her hardware is starting to show its age a bit.

And yes, I name all my computers (my Mac, for example, is called Commander Fabulous, he has a pink case, my first laptop was named Lappy) and I'm considering renaming EVA to CABAL. For anyone wondering where I got the names from, they're the names of the AI from the once great RTS series Command and Conquer: Tiberium Sun. Back in the days before Electronic Arts ruined the series.

EVA stands for Electronic Video Agent whereas CABAL is Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform. CABAL was also the more powerful AI which is why I was considering the name switch.

Wait, CABAL went rogue and tried to kill everyone. Maybe I should stick with EVA instead.

Nah, he looks safe to me.

Also, my specialist appointment is coming up. It's time to see if I have Marfan's. I want to say that I feel nervous but again, even if I have it, nothing that can do. So why bother worrying?

Finals are around the corner, so I'm going to try and rest a bit more while I can. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.

  1. Not much Easter celebrating for me. I could go for some chocolate, though...

  2. Commander Fabulous.... no kidding. Well, if I were to call my laptop by the name she deserves (yes, I think of my laptop(s) as female beings who can't wait for me to touch those buttons), I think I'd call her Baby from the Past. She's from the previous century but I just can't let go of her.

    Happy belated Easter (with or without anal beaver glands in your vanilla)!

  3. It's easy enough to say "why bother worrying?" but it's very hard to actually put it in to practice, even though you're right. I don't think it's that weird to name your computers but if I started they'd probably all be called EDI.

  4. I haven't started on my Easter chocolate yet, how disappointing!
    Good luck with your appointment - I hope it goes well!

  6. Nice one in upgrading the computer mate, hopefully it works well for you. Although I see your point when it comes to PC gaming I just don't have it in me to sell my laptop and buy an expensive PC. I used to PC game a lot but it just seems too expensive now. Enjoy your Easter too, that photo really made me laugh.

  7. Oh yes, today is the day I stock up on half priced Easter bunnies.

    My computer's name is Lucy, which is not nearly as badass as Electronic Video Agent, but she's also a pretty pathetic laptop that's just good for the Internet and MSPaint. So... it's fitting.

  9. Happy Easter DWei. Hope you had an awesome one - and we too are looking forward to the chocolate sales LOL!. What I'm not looking forward to is winter - for us in the southern hemisphere, it's literally around the corner

  12. Aw man I remember Tiberium Sun. Red Alert 2 is probably my favourite of them, though. Latest C&C game I played was Red Alert 3 and I wasn't too fond of it.

    I hope your appointment goes well :<

  14. I think everyone names their first laptop Lappy. I think it's a rule or law somewhere.

  16. I remember the good old days when C & C was awesome. Also, you have good names for your computers there. I usually stick to the names that are given to the units themselves although I have deviated to name one Production, Black Magic and Lucious, an allusion to The Simpsons.

  17. This idea with naming your computers is great! I should try it sometime :)

  19. When is your appointment? It's normal to be nervous, but you've definitely got the right attitude. You've got the strength to get through whatever comes your way, dude.
