What have you been doing today?

I found myself wondering what other DarkBASIC people do during the day. So i want you to say what u have been doing today, it will give everyone a change to get to know each other a little better.

I'll go first, oh... and be detailed!

Today 8am my parents left to go on holiday to wales, which means i am at home with my brother for a week. He got called into work to do a 16 hr shift as another employee called in ill. That means i have the house to myself until 2am sunday.
I have been thinking a lot about what my first week at uni is gona be like. Also i have been reading book 5 of the Wheel Of Time Series,(which are amazing books!!) i have spent about 4 hrs reading that.
For my lunch i had mild curry flavoured super noodels, and a load of choc chip cookies. For dinner i had sausages and peas, which is the limit of my cooking ability.I have been playing my guitar loads and istening to muse and foo fighters for ages.
And i have also been typing out this message (shows how bored i am), I probably will go to bed about 4am when my eyes are no longer able to focus on the words in the book.

Well today has been a lazy day but still enjoyable, post what you have been doing and what you are going to do, and remember to be DETAILED!

Well, I went out, came back, went on the computer, played a few games with my Dad, went out with the dog, came back with the dog and back on the computer.

Decorating, decorating and more bloody decorating
I can't be sure but I think I hate decorating.

In fact I've been helping to clean up and destroy... I mean repair the house for a couple of months now so we can sell this damn thing.

And now we've discovered a leak in the kitchen, no, not my fault

I started programming the Wolven World Builder
I continued to program the Wolven World Builder
At 12:00 PM, I get the important announcement that Dark Basic Pro was in the mail, and it was coming home soon
At 1:00 PM, I have everything installed and upgraded (except the IDE)
At 2:30 PM, I conver the Wolven World Editor to pro, doing so reveals an error/bug
At 3:30 PM, I do a virus scan
At 6:00 PM, my virus scan ended, virtual ram is low, gotta reboot.

Now its present time.


Dark Basic Pro has arived! I can feel the power!

Got up. Went on the internet, killing time till lunch. Made myself two ham cheese and onion and branston pickle toasties. Phoned around all my mates to get assistance with moving back to uni tomorrow. Phoned up my house mates to arrange getting to our house. Spent a few hours packing some stuff and dismantelling computers. Has a 16oz rump steak with fries, onion rings and a massive green salad for dinner (and dijon mustard). Fell asleep twice while watching Meet Joe Black on BBC2. Am about to do a little more packing ...

Moving out tomorrow. Have a convoy coming round my house tomorrow making two mates with a car each and me with my car. Packing them to the brim with equipment, clothes, pots and pans, books and beer to start another year at uni in a new house. You probably won't see me until I (a) come back for my sisters wedding, (b) start the new term in october and get access to the uni computers or (c) get our ADSL line installed.

So peace breadbins.

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

Woke up about 10 (been a busy work week - fancied a lay in). Had quick browse on net. Got up, read paper (the Sun). Went round local cafe for breakfast (sausage,egg,bacon,beans,toast,coffee). Took huge bag of 1p and 2p coins to sainsburys as they have a machine that counts them and gives you voucher for shopping. Came to £17.83!!

Got tube (london underground) to London Bridge. Short walk to Tower Bridge to see how David Blaine's doing. He looks a right state! Thousands of tourists standing around gawping at him.

Walked along the southbank to find some sort of festival going on. Lots of foreign food and drink on sale.

Visited Tate Modern to see what works of art are on show. Main gallery is shut! Looked around rest of place and satisfied myself that modern art is a pile of c**p.

Spent a fiver on lottery tickets. Didn't win.

Lazy evening watching TV with flatmates.

12pm went to bed. Very loud party couple of doors away. It's now 12-46 and it is still going strong. Watching who wants to be a millionaire on ITV2.

15 minutes ago, another flatmate rang doorbell cos he lost his keys. Grrrrrrr.

Will browse web for another half hour or so.

Man, a lot of you have interesting lives, I'm forced to be cooped up in my room browsing the internet and programming. Well, not forced by my parents, forced by my location. I live in the middle of nowhere, right on RT115 North, I'm 10 miles away from any of my friends, there are no sidewalks, my parents never let me leave the house, not to mention they're too busy to drive me to a friends house, and my friends never ever call and ask if I wanna go over to their house. Probably for the better though. I'm as boring as...

*picks up a dull tipped pencil*

that.

I woke up.
Took a shower, got dressed, put on make-up, did my hair...

Then I watched Groundhog Day for the 3,562 time.

Then went shopping with my mom and sister.

I bought a cute top at Ross.

Came back with my mom, and my dad fixed hamburgers outside.

And now I am about to go back shopping with my mom and sister at Wal-Mart.

7:00: Spend 15 minutes wishing I hadn't gotten up because damn, that was a good dream.

7:15: Get up, stumble downstairs, shower.

7:45: Eat something for breakfast, drink coffee.

8:00: All ready for the day. Turn on my dad's computer so I'll have internet, turn on mine. Go online. Browse my haunts, check my mail, maybe check CNN to see if the world has ended yet.

9:00: School (yes I homeschool).

2:00: All done. Grab a quick lunch, launch my favorite game at the moment.

2:15: Windows 98 crashes just as I make a major achievment in the game. Curse, hit my computer, reboot.

2:30: Repeat.

2:45: Repeat.

3:00: Enter #darkbasic in a blaze of glory. Chat. Browse net. Be on MSN and AIM.

4:00: Code or write, depending on how I'm feeling.

5:30: Windows 98 crashes (typically just before I save). Restart. Crash. Repeat many times. Whine about wanting Windows XP but worrying about DOS programs on the IRC channel. Repeat many times.

6:15: Eat dinner, wash dishes.

7:00: Go onto the forums a bit more, chat a bit more, generally waste time as the day winds to a close.

7:30: Free time on or off the computer, no strict schedule. Windows 98 isn't allowed to crash from now until 10:00, and if it does I delete some system files at random to teach it a lesson.

10:00: Read, write, report a DBP bug (typically it's not a bug but my system being weird or my brain being dumb).

10:30: Shut down dad's computer. Loose internet connection. Do any left-over schoolwork. Listen to some music.

12:00: Go to bed. Promise myself I'll have a quick dream that finishes before 7:00 this time.
