cleaned my house from muddy floors after hosting a college party last night. feels good
I upgraded my PC. Graphics card hasn't arrived yet, but going from a Core2Duo E8500 to a Core i7-4790K still feels good.
It's also so much easier than under WindowsXP. I just swapped the hardware and booted the PC - during the boot Win8.1 automatically uninstalled all unneeded drivers and installed new ones. Didn't need to call Microsoft for a license reactivation either even though I swapped the Mainboard, RAM and CPU. GPU should arrive tomorow *knocks on wood*
I'm throughly impressed

Since is sunday, so far I posted on facebook with pictures and commentary about an Art Exhibition that I wanted to Friday. I went grocery shopping, washed clothes, did my Significant Others International Business homework and practiced German. For the rest of today I gotta cook for the week, exercise, and end the day with a lot of reading on Egypt and "The Story of Art". I'm also gonna draw or do some watercolor and make some sweet love tonight, or I better.
How?
Well I guess I should have explained a bit more, I traded a spare Meloletta I had for a Movie 14 Diancie. I've been working on a living pokedex so I was excited to get one.

I finished my calculus homework, and after I get dinner, I'll do my literature reading assignment. I finished watching the Genshiken anime, and I'm also going to beat wind waker today.
Disc 1 and 2 combined, that's 6 hours long. lol

Since I work a lot of hours in the week, I tend to not do much on a weekend. I usually get my flat tidy and grab shopping on Saturday. Today, I haven't done anything productive. Weekend's are getting to be a bit samey though as of late. I need to find something else to do. :/
With that said, I just beat Sen's Fortress in Dark Souls, if it counts.

I made pixel art of some of my roommates.
It was fun.
It was fun.
Today, I:
- Stood up at 7 am. Usually on Sundays, I lie in bed until 1 pm or so.
- Had a 10-hour, 152 km biking trip (including pauses - 7 hours actually on the seat). Included climbing a mountain pass twice, from both sides. Both were Cat2-climbs, which means "really steep and quite long". This is my longest bike ride ever, and in some ways the objectively hardest, but I wasn't tired when I ended it. Could have gone on for much longer. My legs just worked like machines today, which was a great feeling.
- Stopped at a little, hidden-away local hotel that's been getting rave reviews the last couple of years. Bill Gates stayed there last year. They have the best views, and I've been interested in seeing it for a while. I was in the middle of my bike trip, sweaty, stinking and dirty, but they still let me sit in their garden with their guests and drink a cup of coffee. They even gave me a plate of home-made biscuits for free.
- Came home and did the final exam for a Coursera-course (Learning How to Learn), and aced it. That course is really good, by the way, and only four weeks long. Recommended to everybody - it's bound to show up again later.
- Made and ate a tasty evening meal. Waffles with strawberry marmalade, a bowl with oats, yoghurt, nuts, dried fruit and amazingly good fresh plums, a smoothie made with banana, melon and frozen cherries, and a cappuccino.
Best, most productive day in a long time. I feel just great right now.

I polished off a bottle of vodka, a bottle of Mexico's finest tequila Jose cuervo. A 12 of the best beer in the US- bud light plat. Caught a few waves, cruised the boardwalk and now I'm headed out to pick up another couple for a foursome. Now that's strong.

Started working on a Huffman code implementation in F#. I guess I also got up pretty early for a Sunday (~9 am). Not much else.

As soon as I'm done typing this post, I'm going to turn off my computer so I don't waste the rest of the night on GAF.
