A Not So Faint Image of My Windows Desktop

Monitor issues

So my laptop monitor is officially dead. Caput. It only projects a very faint image of what it used to show... my windows wallpaper of the Golden Gate Bridge from Fort Point.

Thanks to Alinna's mom, however, I have a replacement monitor... hence why I'm able to make this post. My typing skills are not nearly this stellar.

To answer the question some of you are probably asking, I've had this computer for 4 years. I suppose it's about time for the monitor to crap out.

Note: This is Hideyo's reaction to the situation after discovering that the newly received monitor works with his computer. He was a tad bit more frazzled when he first found out (Read: Tearing out his hair that has been growing for the last 7 weeks without a haircut).

Oh and Gina, it only took me 20 minutes to get to the Rose Bowl. Not bad.

Alas alas

Yes, I went to the Cal UCLA game on Saturday. A heartbroken fan I am. But you can look at most Cal grad blogs to see all the things I would probably say.

Instead, I will post about how I got to the Rose Bowl to watch the game. I took public transit. That's right. I took the bus... in LA. I rode Metro. When I met up with some people at the Rose Bowl, they asked me, "How'd you get here?"

I responded, "By bus."

I can't tell you how puzzled each person looked when I told them that I took the bus. I might as well have been transported to the Rose Bowl by alien spacecraft. It just doesn't happen out here. Everyone drives. Everyone.

Reminds me of the time when my freshman year roommate asked me what a "Spare the air day" was. When I explained it to him (he's from SoCal), he looked at me with the most incredulous look.
