went to sleep @ 7, woke up @ 4. found out i had a bug in my project. fixed it in 15mins. then a friend requested help, and stayed for an extra 1.5hrs. welp, that's what friends are for ^_^x

as cunndogg pointed out, i made a mistake on the specs of our new workstation. in fact it is only a XP1600+ and not a XP2000+. but plans to overclock this baby is progress and supposedly this is easily overclocable to 2100.

welp, cunndogg and i had our first cooking experience (besides boiling pasta, instant noodles, microwave/oven pizza) today and i've gotta say it turned out 100x better than what i expected. we were planning to goto Barney's for a milkshake celebration, but they closed @ 10. andronicos was next door so we went in and picked up some items to make dinner with. we marinated some lamb (forgot which part of the lamb it was) with pineapple sake teriyaki sauce. We also added A1 Steak Sauce, and Tiger Sause (similar to Tobasco) to spicen up the taste. we stir-fried the lamb in olive oild and then added red/green bell peppers and carrots. put that on rice and we got ourselves a tasty meal. an oil shot into cunndogg's eye during this experiment, but that was the only bad part. oooh, forgot to add 7-up w/ black berry torani. are u drooling yet? hehe ^_^x

after several days of attempts to install linux and near the verge of giving, we finally did it. stupid nvidia and their propreitary nforce drivers caused us install different distributions of linux. we've tried RedHat 7.3, SuSE 8.1, RedHat 8.0 and all has failed. Mandrake 9.0 and Slackware were sitting in my hd waiting in case RedHat 7.3 failed again. but thanks to the help on nvnews forums, we were finally able to get it up and running. now on to trying to get the network card to work!

first of all, i'd like to throw out a big HAPPY BDAY to carii. this will make her.. uh.. i dont think i'm allowed to give away a girl's age. hehe. sorry guys, but she's also taken. but i never said there was no competition. ^_^x

cunndogg really likes his new RC Car. welp, being somewhat of an Initial D fan, i asked if he can get it to drift 180° or even 360°. welp, we took some video clips of it so we hope you'll enjoy it. the volume is a bit loud, so u might wanna lower it. we didnt get it to do 360° but we may have suceeded in 180°. ^_^x

welp, not wanting to let the lamb meat get bad + we've been marinating the remainder of the lamb from last nite for an entire day, we decided to give it another shot. this time i took pix of it:

green bell peppers in lamb juice+teriyaki sauce

freshly cut carrots

lamb meat kept warm in oven

carrots in lamb juice+teriyaki sauce

we're done!

adding the carrots to rice

then the green bell pepper

and finally the lamb meat!

YUMMY! ^_^x

welp, we went to the bar again tonite. this time with laa, lydia, liam, and cunndogg. we sat down and waited for the waitress to come serve us. she came and took our order and then asked us if we had our id. we were like wo... (although i only ordered a virgin drink, i was surprised also since this was the first time we got carded). we searched our wallets and no one could find it (how convenient -_^x). so she said she was sorry and couldn't serve us. so we got up and left surprised by this new rule. we decided that the boss was in today, so the waitress had to follow accordingly. oh well, next time. ^_^x we then went to liam's house to watch "Metropolis" a anime supposedly release last year. i had it, but never watched it. (did that shock u?) i'm really picky about anime. if i don't like any part of it, i wont watch it. an initial skim of Metropolis didnt really catch my attention. welp, the animation was great, but the plot was really confusing and required too much thinking for me to enjoy anime. if you like that type of anime/stories, you should really check this out. cunndogg decided it was relating this society to the German Nazis. ^_^x

welp today was fun! celebrated not only carii's bday, but also CD's bday. didn't even know that till we went to dinner. hehe. ohfuee had some cool card tricks up his sleeves. pretty hard to describe and it's much better in person anyway.

belldandy (aka karen - aka Steven IRL) posted this link up. it's a pretty cool website. has some really nice wallpapers and if you're a max fan, it tells you how to completely turn your windows XP interface into a mac osx interface which i thought was pretty cool. but too bad i'm no mac fan. ;p

thanks to fuzzywuzzy for donating this hiliarious news site: linky. if you have time, read these news. the news articles i've read so far have either been interesting or hilarious. ^_^x

lost my red notebook today. was so worried. it's like my personal diary, which really is just paper for me to jot down notes, draw doodles, draw more doodles, and do hw. i was about to give up after checking 3 lost&found places where it could've been. then @ home, i found it sitting on the shelf! YIPPEE! have you ever lost something which you value more than yourself? you become really depressed. this notebook wasn't that particular item, but i can recall i've lost invaluble items such as hippo & data on my harddrive. remind me to post up my hippo memorial wallpaper for u guys. ^_^x

speaking of wallpaper, i recently switched over to Mac OSX. check out my screenshots: SS1 | SS2.

if you have japan fetish like i do, you should check out Japander. you should check out some of Arnold Swazzeneger's (or however you spell his last name) commercials for Japan. For some reason it just doesn't look like him. ;p

Japander:n.,& v.t. 1. a western star who uses his or her fame to make large sums of money in a short time by advertising products in Japan that they would probably never use. ~er (see synecure, prostitute) 2. to make an ass of oneself in Japanese media.

if you're in the bay area and want to attend a screening of "8 Mile" for FREE, then check this out: linky. it's going be shown this thursday @ the Metreon. ^_^x

thanks to esca, we now have channel statistics for our #calnime IRC Chat Room. check them out here: linky.

nothing much happened today. was rather boring in fact. oh well.

thanks to panzer for the following links:
mad, definitely. scientist, maybe. - someone's awesome experiment in modding their system with one of those lightning oracle balls.
BBspot - hilarious fake news. if you like the Squelched, you'll definitely like this. i was first directed to this article.

welp, for those that live i socal, the deal is back! $29 one way from OAK to LAX/BUR. buy your tickets early for winter break or else you know what! u snooze, u looze. ^_^x unlike before where the $29 was only for a roundtrip, you can now purchase it as One-Way. Cancelling one of my flights was easier than ever. called them up, gave them my confirmation # and BOOM, i was done. $75 credit applied to my new purchase of $37.50 ($29+tax+fees) = $37.50 left for next flight. wondering why i boubht a flight and then cancelled? well i original have a ticket for 12/19 - 1/10. but i decided to extend my return date to 1/18. so i called up SouthWest (bleh, forgot to mention this was @ SouthWest the whole time) and they told me if i wanted to cancel the 2nd flight, i'd have to fly the first flight and call back to cancel. i said, cool, but i still needed a return flight, so a i bought a new ticket for 1/18 - 1/30 (since the cheap fare required a roundtrip). well, after reading the newsletter i received today, i called in did my work. you may be scared your first time cancelling your ticket, but after the first time and noticing how nice and ez it is, it's something actually fun to do! well, not fun, but no longer afraid of. hehe. ^_^x
