I just installed an application on my computer (Cortana is my computer's name =P) that gives me all these stats at a glance. Not really useful for me, since I'm not running anything heavy on resources, and I don't really know what to do with the information, but it's certainly interesting.
For instance: My uptime stands right now at 12 days. That means my computer hasn't been off in almost two weeks. I normally just put it to sleep when I'm not using it, including when carrying it around school/town. I'm using about 10% of my computer's processing power right now. I don't recall what the percentage was when I recorded the next stat, but sometime yesterday my CPU was running at 64∘c. Now, I don't really KNOW what that means. I understand temperature and all, but I don't know what's a high temperature for a processor to be at. All the same, 64∘c definitely surprises me.
Fun stuff. I also downloaded a clock that displays the time as a pong game. You can turn the clock off and just play Pong if you want. I have to throw a few matches initially though, to get the computer to slack back, because it starts at a difficulty level where it's just not fun to play. Too bad there's no way to set the computer level at a fixed starting speed.

Sleepless Nights
You can only lay in bed so long without calling it quits.
When the clock hits five in the morning, and you still haven't shut your eyes for more than thirty seconds at a time, there's a choice. If you keep trying, and you succeed in sleeping, your alarm probably won't be too effective in three hours. But if you get up, you're going to be tired as hell the next morning.
Well, I've missed enough classes for two terms (not THAT many, but still too many) already, so I'm not a fan of sleeping in today. Especially since I have to pass in an assignment first thing. So Youtube has kept me company.
Tonight, I'm in bed at 6. And I'm setting my alarm for about quarter to 2064.
Also, I haven't posted here in over two months. I'm gonna get back at it. (I'm sure you're all* thrilled)
* - if there's anybody at all, I'd be shocked.
