I have been going through a lot of my old stuff while doing some cleaning and sorting lately, and came across an old X-COM: Terror from the Deep CD. After installing DOSBox
and setting the cycles setting a bit higher that the default, the game performs just like I remember, with full sound support and all.

During the weekend I was at Ølbaren with some friends (and some people from their work). A really nice place – especially, besides all the beers of course, I did enjoy the no-smoking policy.

I have almost two weeks off from school now. Except 3 hours lecture tomorrow this block is done – I handed in my last homework today at 10 am.

So, what am I going to do with all this time on my hands? I do have a to do list that takes up half the screen of my laptop… on the other hand some friends gave me the Burning Crusade (an expansion pack for World of Warcraft) for my birthday. It’s still in the wrapping, so it is not to late to go get the money back at the store. On the other hand, if I’m going to waste time, playing the computer might not be the worst way to do that.
Incidentally, today’s Penny Arcade does illustrate the thoughts going through my mind on the topic of opening up the Burning Crusade wrapping…

Yesterday I had some old friends over for sushi, wine, beer and ‘pebernødder’. It had been a long time since we had met last time and it was fun to talk about old times (and more recent events as well).
They also helped me rearrange the furniture in my living room, and so far I’m very happy with the result. I still need to get books back on the shelves of the bookcase and stuff like that, but the furniture is placed both esthetically (in lack of a better word) and practically. My ’study’ is also coming along nicely and should be ready for use soon.

Today I met with some fellow students and we worked through the last hand in for one of my courses. So now I just have to type it in so it’s ready for handing in at Monday. Being my birthsday tomorrow and with the party and all I don’t plan to do any school stuff Saturday (birthsday and party) or Sunday (hangover).

When I got up from bed this morning and was looking through my closet for clean clothes I could not find any underpants. First I was very confused, both because there were lots of sock at the place where my underpants usually are (can underwear transform itself to socks in 24 hours?), and also I could have sworn that it was not that long ago since I last did laundry, so there should have be plenty. Very strange.

I decided to go for a bath, get my contact lenses on, wake up a bit more and come back for a close look.
Nope, they were still gone when I came back. I looked at some of the other drawers, but no luck.

So, when I got home from school today I found a plastic bag full of underwear in my living room… The plot thickens!

I called up the usual suspect, Esben, who moved to Amager yesterday with the help of Mark and Rasmus. He told me that Mark and Rasmus had pulled the little stunt on me while they were helping Esben move yesterday. So Esben had returned the bag today, when he came to pick up the last things and fix a few other stuff.

… so what I really need now is a evil scheme to get back at them.
