Ok, the TV was a bust. It makes my eyes hurt like no other. So I guess I’ll go to Akiba and see if I can find a cheap monitor for under 50 bucks or so. I’ll go blind in 2 days using the TV.

TV was donated by my good friend Ludovic who unfortunately left us a month early to pursue his studies elsewhere. TV = Monitor! I just need to go find an appropriate cable, S-Video to RCA. Akihabara has everything!

Don’t be idiots people, they say the fall can kill you for a reason. Let’s learn from others’ mistakes. I’m tired of hearing about people I went to school with dying. We’re a bit too young to be reading about each other in the obituaries. Now I’m gonna take some time [...]
