Halo

February 8, 2009

Yesterday I was leaving my cousin’s house and I spotted this in the sky… 

 

A Halo .. aka. an Icebow

A Halo .. aka. an Icebow

Pretty cool .. I immediately thought of aliens  LOL but got home and searched it… and it   “is an optical phenomenon that appears near or around the Sun or Moon, and sometimes near other strong light sources such as street lights. There are many types of optical halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in cold cirrus clouds located high (5–10 km, or 3–6 miles) in the upper troposphere.”  … The specific type that I saw yesterday is often referred to as a 22° halo. Pretty neat.

 

Speaking of Halo … I have yet to get my Xbox back from Microsoft .. I have been wanting to play Halo for the longest time now … not fair!!

So …. bad news.. my old laptop is KAPUTZ! … getting a SMART error when i boot it …. then it says press F1 to continue … which I do .. and then it is the Windows start up screen and ….. 30 minutes later… it is still the Windows Start Up screen … double yew tee eff!!! … lol its cool I got this one just in time. I had given my old laptop to my brother because well .. he wanted it .. and I don’t really blame him for the lack of function on the laptop but .. it kinda sucks for him cuz now he is back to the other computer … which I mean .. is perfectly fine … it is only a year old and its pretty snazzy …. but yeah .. hopefully I get it fixed… and omg thank gawsh I moved all of the files to an external hard drive about a week ago …. sooo lucky!!!  

I told him if he really wants a laptop I will chip in for a third of the cost … he turns 16 next month … lol .. time to get a job!!! MUAHAHHAHA jk jk .. but yeah … oooh I could use that to motivate him … anyways .. yes so .. thats kinda le crappy .. but eh .. what can you do. 

Now I don’t have a backup laptop .. ahhaha it was always nice to have it there … for just in case times. lol 

 

Hmmmm.. on another bad news bears note… I have  still not received my XBOX! OH MY GOD!!I have been too patient with those buffoons!!!! I am getting angry and turning green and … RAWR!!! … I have been wanting to play Halo soooo baaaaadd!!!!!!!!!!! and not to mention the fact that Skate 2 has been collecting dust on my desk while there is an empty hole where my Xbox used to be :( …. I miss those Xbox marathons I would have on weekends…. at least I can still play WoW … I did get a mount btw :P .. free of charge because my character is a Warlock … it is a snazzy horsie with fire feet! – but yes … Microsoft… HURRR UP!!! … first my Xbox .. now my lappy … what is next? … **not buying microsoft products again** 

 

 

GOOD NEWS GECKOS - 

The homies over at the place of GM won the game tonight 

*applause/cheer* 

It was about time … I mean it didn’t bother me that they were losing because I heart them no matter what…. but times were getting tough for them.. they really needed this to kick it up a notch … watch out Bertginla …. you are going down! – Because if there is anyone that needs to go down is bert and iginla . …. don’t get me started on their team mate calamari … hahah  … k but yes … lovely game .. they were consistent throughout …. Bobby Luo let in some pucks but they were a bit fluky if you ask me … so all in all …. I have faith that they will just go up from here…. in fact here is a line graph that shows my predictions:

The green shows the Canucks Awesomeness levels … and the Red shows the amount of people on the bandwagon during that time … As you can see … people on the bandwagon tend to reach alarming levels when the Canucks are doing their best. 

but yes … that is all! 

 

 

PS> I was just about to complain about how people call Costco Costco because in MY MIND I thought it was spelled Cosco … but I just googled it and … yeah … everyone is right …. it is Costco … good thing I did my research!!!
