Aikido in the park this morning. We mainly worked on sword techniques, which was fun—I love swinging around bokken. After that I went home, ate breakfast (my dad hadn't finished making breakfast by the time I had to be at the park), mowed the lawn, and goofed around on the net a bit. Called up my friend Bruce, seeing if he was down to go to Hayward, catch the APW show and heckle Joe. He wasn't, and by that time it was too late to get Joe to give me a ride, so I wrote that off. Bruce asked if I had a Windows install CD around, because he had a new computer but there was no OS on the drive. I didn't, but I did have Fedora Linux on CD, and I offered to install that for him. He said sure, and asked if I wanted to see
Napoleon Dynamite. I hadn't been planning on seeing it but I said okay.
( Napoleon Dynamite )After the movie we went to a little Mexican restaurant, where I had some excellent chicken taquitos (for just $3.75!). On the way back to Bruce's place Bruce picked up an old rug on the sidewalk, which turned out to smell like pee. He tried spraying it down with a hose, but on the ground, and then realized that he needed to lift it and haul it across the yard to hang it on the back fence, dripping and smelling stronger by the minute. After that, I tried to install Fedora on his computer, but ended up getting an error message saying the drive couldn't be formatted. So it looks like the hard drive he'd gotten from one of his roommates was just as dead as the one that came with it (it was used, given to him by his girlfriend). Oh well.
Apparently the other guys there were in a real movie mood, because they went out and rented
( Big Fish. )Home, and to bed.
