TollRoad!

Man...I wanted to go to sleep early tonight but that didn't happen! I got caught up in some PVPing action on WoW with my brother and the guildies. And like always, my computer and video could not handle the massively intensive action that was going on. My screen was filled with just 3D models running around all over the place slaughtering each others! Fun time! Even with the additional fan that I have modded on my old video card, that thing was still overheating like it's a nuclear reactor core. Well my computer, like every other night, decided to freeze on me. So I had to reset the thing. But when I restarted it, my hard drive happily decided to go cuckoo on me again! Anyhow, to make the story short, I spent the next hour trying to figure out what went wrong again. Finally I decided to run the Operating System on my old hard drive instead, it has less capacity but more stability. Stability = less headache! = good for Son (especially with 4 classes)!

Anyhow, on to the lesser nerdy topic of the day, I received my Fastrak TollRoad transponder yesterday. And earlier this morning, I had an early morning class. I usually have to wake up around 7 AM just to make it in time for the 9 o'clock class. Well, today, I woke up a bit later than usual...not intentionally of course! So I really had to use the TollRoad for the first time just to try to skip the crappy traffic on the 91 and the 55. Moreover, I took the TollRoad 241, which transitions into the 261 and headed straight into the city of Irvine (Jamboree). Wow! I must say, this TollRoad freeway business is so sweet! It took me like maybe 20 minutes max from my house in Chino Hills almost directly to Irvine! I was driving on an average speed of 80mph most of the way there (only because there were plenty of cops on the TollRoad for whatever the reason, I'm not too sure). Anyhow, it cost me about $3.25 just to save myself a half hour of being frustrated and getting all sun tanned on the freeway. Yeah so as you can see, it can get quite expensive doing this frequently, therefore, I think I'll most likely be using it sparingly and in case of an emergency (waking up late, etc. ). And since most parts of the TollRoad are built on uncharted and rural area , the landscape is so innocently beautiful with the vast ranges of open grassy hills.

TollRoad!

Sleepy time! I opened my laptop a few hours ago just to test things out, not sure if I will keep it or not, but I sure did have some fun time messing around with my neighbors' unsecured wireless networks. It's such a sweet laptop, it's just so nicely built and designed. I'll write more about it maybe tomorrow night when I'm done with class.
