I finally got my computer up and running and everything was going great. Then, out of nowhere, my main hard drive failed! How annoying! Thankfully all of my data was on my 320 GB drive, and I did not lose anything important. I’m running off of a 60 GB drive right now, the one that I used to have mandrake installed on. I’m kind of worried about the quality of this hard drive since I’ve kind of been beating the crap out of it while installing linux, I’ve probably reformatted it like 4 or 5 times in the past few weeks. I don’t know if I should just wait it out or get a new one. Anyway, I’ve been kind of busy lately so the blogging has slowed down. I recently started an internship with Discovery World, and school is starting to pick up a bit. I also spent an entire day playing Fahrenheit, a new action/adventure game with some very original twists. It was pretty good, the story got kind of ridiculous toward the end but overall it was a very fun gaming experience. If you aren’t into hitting keyboard combinations in a weird digital “simon” type way, I would suggest getting a console version of the game. I didn’t really mind it that much, but I know there are a lot of people that would hate those parts of the game. Check out the review for more info. I’m also happy to report that the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is about to start. I was never a Seinfeld fan, and I still am not, but I really love Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David is as funny acting as he is writing, and the combination can’t be beat! Look for it on the 25th, you won’t regret it!!!

Ricky Gervais is an amazing little man. First he brought us The Office (BBC version), one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It’s a show that I think I’ll be watching at least once a year for the rest of my life. Who would have thought that a mockumentary about a British paper making company could have been so amusing?

A mockumentary about life in a mid-sized suboffice paper merchants in a bleak British industrial town, where manager David Brent thinks he’s the coolest, funniest, and most popular boss ever. He isn’t. That doesn’t stop him from embarrassing himself in front of the cameras on a regular basis, whether from his political sermonizing, his stand-up ‘comedy’, or his incredibly unique dancing. Meanwhile, long-suffering Tim longs after Dawn the engaged receptionist and keeps himself sane by playing childish practical jokes on his insufferable, army-obsessed deskmate Gareth. Will the Slough office be closed? Will the BBC give David a game show? Will Tim and Dawn end up with each other? And more importantly, will Gareth realize what a hopeless prat he is?

After The Office came two live acts from Gervais, they aren’t as good as The Office, but they have their moments. They are “Animals” and “Politics.” What is Gervais up to now? A show called “Extras” which is currently airing overseas, but will be coming to HBO in September. If you are resourceful, you can watch them now!
