I'm such a pig...
5.30pm : I get home, cook a quick meal (noodles, prawns, broccolli, soup, egg) and headed to my futon for my usual 30-45 minute nap.
6.45pm : I set my alarm for 7.30pm and start my nap. Zzzzzz....
7.30pm : My alarm dutifully rings. I shut it off, and went back straight to bed, err futon, that is.
8.30pm : I wake up, look at my watch, and decide, ah screw it... I drag my feet to my bedroom, change, and go straight back to sleep. I sleep like a log until...
9.00am : Oh look, morning has come! Damn, I need to go to work... Time to (finally) wake up. :(
A grand whopping total of FOURTEEN (count'em!) hours of sleep. Simply AWESOME!

Vive la Evil Dead!
I have just managed to get my hands on the Evil Dead trilogy. Now I can live through Ash's entire story starting from the cabin, all the way back to his romp through medievel England.
And guess what? I just read that Sam Raimi (of Spiderman fame) wants to do an Evil Dead 4 with Bruce Campbell and the other actors from the original series. How cool is that!
For good measure, here's what I consider to be THE defining moment of the Evil Dead series, where Ash whips up his custom attached-to-the-stump-of-my-wrist chainsaw and his butt-kicking Boomstick (aka sawed off 12-guage double barreled Remington).

Football and a doll
Cakes, that is... Mum made two more cakes.
Gutter ball
It wasn't an auspicious start.
My first ball sliced three pins (4,7,8) and my second ball headed straight for the gutter. At the end of the first game, I narrowly scraped past 100 (120-ish?). My ball was going left and right... Anywhere but straight. I couldn't aim to save my life. I couldn't convert spares. Basically, I sucked.
My second game saw me play a lot more consistently. I had several strikes and made a few spares. I ended that game with 156.
I really need to go buy a new bowling ball to replace the one that broke so many years ago, back when I was living at Doxey Court (when was that? 1998?). I think it was a 12 pound Columbia 300. It was grey I believe.
When I lived in Singapore, Dad, Mum, Jo and I used to go bowling almost every weekend at Hougang bowl. We had our own ball and shoes. When I came here to the States for college, I even brought my ball.
Well, I've been trying to lead a more active lifestyle, so maybe bowling would be a nice fit? Yeah, it will be nice to buy a ball and pick up bowling again.

SHA-1 encryption broken... xbox next?
I read on Bruce Schneier's blog that SHA-1 encryption has been, for the most part, broken by a research team from China.
What does it mean for the xbox? For starters, it's generated some hot news on the xbox-scene.com forums because there is now a real distinct possibility that Project B hack-thy-xbox project may come to fruition (see section 1.2). If that comes true, then it may become possible to hack xbox games directly such that any xbox can play unsigned xbox games.
This will be especially interesting because Microsoft is now developing the next Xbox (codenamed Xbox 360 or something like that). Will MS dump SHA-1 encryption of their games and move to some other kind of encryption (SHA-2? RSA?)?
