yesterday was actually a pretty cool day. First I went to my psych study. It was testing our reaction toward death. Before continuing reading, think about this question to yourself: How do you feel about your personal death?

Guess that was enough space for you to think, hehe. Well, I personally had a somewhat positive response to it such as that it was a natural part of life and I’m not afraid of it, but because I know it will happen to me someday that I try to live everyday to my fullest. The thing they were testing for was how we generally respond to negative or positive events. Death I would presume is a negative event, but they are finding more and more support that many don’t view it as so, but instead many view it as a positive event. I personally don’t want to die, but I really don’t have any grudge against it. Maybe it’s like that commercial on tv where they say babies learn how to walk, see, talk, and love when they’re small, but when do they learn to hate? Hehe, I’ve always wondered when do we really acknowledge that we will die someday. Is it innate? Or were we taught it through the many means of media nowadays? Just something interesting to ponder on.

There wasn’t much to do on a Friday nite. Most of my suite was out… Going to retract my previous statement. I GOT MY DVD DRIVE!!! Installed it and it works perfectly. Did I tell u guys I got bought a dvd drive 2 days ago? Really fast shipment. Now I can’t wait for my dvd’s to come. Hehe. Here’s the list I bought: Armageddon, Blade, Deuce Bigalow, Terminator 2, Twister. Sigh, can’t believe they ran outta Fight Club. One day… I’ll get you Fight Club, just wait for that one day!

For the first time of the week, I got to see Martin. It was a fun little get-together and we went to dinner afterwards. As I thought my high-point of the day was when I got my DVD Drive, I was so wrong. My friend Lori went home and brought her car over. So I went cruising last nite in a Saab convertible with 2 other friends + Lori. Really really fun. Blasting music @ 90dB (+/- 5dB), everyone was staring @ us. First we went to some donuts place and got donuts holes, just fried and glazed and still HOT, not warm, HOT. Then we went to Safeway (Vons in SoCal) and bought booze and I got my Downy balls! Hehe. Really interesting night.

sorry about no update yesterday as I’m sure many of u were disappointed. Hmmmm, what did I do last night. Oh yeah! If you noticed, I’ve been offline for (let’s see, 6am to 6pm) a bit over 12 hrs. Been awhile since I did that. Had to defragment and benchmark my hds. Getting a new IDE/RAID controller in the next few days and need to test to see if I should swap my hds over to the new controller. (am I getting too technical here for u guys)

The long awaited monthly subscription of michelle’s life arrived yesterday. Yay!!!
As for March 3rd, it’s RANDY’S BDAY!!!

This really sucks, I had something in mind I was going to tell you guys and was planning to say it since yesterday, but never had a chance to type it up and now I can’t remember!!! This happens to me a LOT! Sigh… maybe I’ll remember it later.

I’ve updated my Links page. The pictures should be nicer and added 2 more friend’s page to it. If u want your page linked, feel free to email me. Contact information is on the top of this page.

After talking to liam for awhile, the stuff I wanted to talk about finally came back to me. Actually 2 things came back to me. #1 was if anyone watched cartoons during their junior high or late elementary school, they’ve gotta remember Teknoman!Awesome series and I just d/led episode 1-38 last nite. Quality is eh, but sure brings back memories. Watched the first episode with Liam last nite. 2nd thing was that u know those nail clippers which comes with mini swords and u take them and let your stuff animals fight with? I finally knew how to use them! I’ve known them to be can openers but all I did before was punch holes into the can and pour it out. (if u didn’t know, I’m talking about that hook sword). It’s really cool cause I opened the enter can lid of a can of tomato soup yesterday.

Well back to anime time ^_^x

something very weird happened today. As I was sitting in Math53 lecture and doing my hw, suddenly a bunch (is that the correct word to use? Group? Band? Ponytail? Whatever) of hair came flying back and landed on my paper. I was going to ask that person to move it, but suddenly everything got weird. I looked up and for a slight moment, I thought it was her. Similar hair, similar ears, similar earrings, even similar clothes. Head was just a bit smaller though. For the remainder of the class, I was trying to catch a glimpse of her face, but she sat in front of me so it was difficult. When class was finally over and she turned around to get up, and to my disappointment, her face didn’t resemble hers at all. Oh well.

Now that I’ve talked about her, here’s a picture my friend goshtic sent me which I thought was a picture of a really cute & beautiful girl which somewhat resembles darryl’s roommate’s poster, but mines prettier.

For those System of a Down fans, my friend bahamut-x found a hilarious clip that I think you will enjoy.

I’m really sorry again about not posting yesterday. Yesterday was such a boring day that there really wasn’t anything to write about besides me acting like a zombie going to 8 hrs of classes. (yes I went to every single class yesterday)

For those who watch movies on their computer, DivX 5.0 is out. Not many movies support this codec yet, but supposedly better compression with higher quality, so pretty soon movies will be using DivX 5.0 instead of the current 3.0. I wonder what ever happened to 4.0alpha? It was out, but not too many groups used it and now 5.0 is out. Hehe.

Today it was pouring like crazy (said it was raining like a b*tch earlier to a friend and I was wondering how my language ever became this vulgar). After dinner, although it was only a ~40ft dash, I was completely soaked. Before I left for dinner it was only sprinkling, so I didn’t bother with an umbrella. Then it began to hail for like 3 minutes non-stop. Oh well, it was fun. ;p

As for the picture of the week, another temporary picture has been put up, but will be soon be replaced by the real thing (hopefully tomorrow when it doesn’t rain). The temporary pictures is really a little project my friend beardseeba put together. In a moment, you’ll find out why I bolded the beard part. Hehe. -_^x

My friend shortdog (known each other since 9th grade, but only through a name and never in person. part of my #psx clan) just found my website and here’s what he has to say:

Since I missed yesterday again, you guys get a special long one today.

The power went down since 5pm yesterday, right when I was taking a nap. I can recall the exact second and the exact details. I was lying on my bed. First was the lights, then I heard both damion’s and my computer power down. Then my fridge went out. Then the panicking screams outside my room: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?!?!? I turned around to look @ my clock to check the time and guess what, that went out too.

Let’s backtrack, I had 2hrs of sleep the nite before and got up @ 7:30 for my 8am class. Went to jamba juice for our biweekly* lunch get-together with acuneo. Got myself a cherry charger, it was pretty good, but $4.25 was a bit expensive.

1 : occurring twice a week <- I mean this *
2 : occurring every two weeks (www.m-w.com)

After coming back home, I decided to take a nap and when it reached 12:30, I decided to ditch the remainder of my classes. Returning back to where I left off, the power went down and people were panicking everywhere. People were returning because their classes were canceled. Basically, the whole UC + dorms lost electricity due to some main power failure. Our DC had to close down because many machines in there run off electricity. So liam and I met up with carol’s suite and ate Japanese last nite. Really good stuff, however serviced sucked. We were constantly being ignored due to our obnoxiousness and our young age.

Came back after dinner and found out we just got assigned more physics homework due tomorrow. Those stupid communists >:o(. Had to do the hw in the tv lounge where they brought in trucks with natural gas power generators lighting up the whole room. Poor martin. He had to stay till 1:30am last nite since he’s senior clerk of the foothill frontdesk. Poor dude didn’t eat anything till I brought him a slice of pizza @ ~11pm.

So most of my suite went off to a jazz club and acuneo and I decided to goto metreon to watch a movie since I got 4 free tickets. After entering the bart station and missing the first train, we called moviefone and realized that there wasn’t anything playing anymore. This was @ 11:30pm. Sigh, so we walked back, but I found out staying @ a dorm was worse cause there was N..O..T..H..I..N..G to do! Acueno went to bed and I sat on the couch playing with my flashlight as if it was a sword. Sorta brings back childhood memories (~drools~). Those were the days, when I #1 samurai, #1 ninja, #1 mob king, #1 fighter, hehe. I went back into my room and tried to read my popular science magazine. Lemme tell you, flashlight and reading don’t mix unless you’re in a movie and your parents just told u to goto bed. So I went to sleep @ ~12am (one of the earliest times I can remember).

Woke up the this morning @ 10am to the sound of my alarm on my cellfone which I’ve never heard before and actually got me excited. Morning went by with nothing much happening, then @ 2:44pm, I heard 3 beeps and I began screaming (is that the correct word?) in joy. Everyone was rejoicing with the power back on. This experience was one of the weirdest however also enlightening. Basically I learn I cannot live without electricity. -_^x
