Sorry!

Sorry for the minimal amount of posting for the past few days. I’ve been busy at work, looking at houses, and reading Death Note. Haha. It’s 5:30am and I have work a meeting at 11am tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll make it. I had a meeting today (supposedly) at 11:30. However, by the time I woke up, I had hit my snooze button from 10:20 to 11:40. Welp, I got lucky and the meeting was canceled. Haha.

Anyway, Death Note had an awesome ending, though I thought it could’ve been more awesome if it had a better twist at the end. Not going to say much right now, but I’ll post more tomorrow.

As for now, you can see what I’ve accumlated in Random Crap a few days ago.


Random Crap:

Today’s Japanese phrase is: 完敗 (kanpai) – complete defeat. This is what someone screams when his opponent dominates the match. Do note, it sounds exactly the same as 乾杯 (kanpai) – toast (drink) when people are cheering and drinking and banging their mugs together.

Quote from Chokoboii:

There are so many TV shows catering to pre-rich students (medical, law and business) such as Grey’s Anatomy, House MD, Nip Tuck, ER, Law & Order, Judge Judy, The Apprentice, etc. And while these shows only exist because of their large niche of audience, there lacks a drama show catering to engineers.

I propose an engineering TV drama show. Companies who have engineering problems all flock to an engineer. Every episode will be about how the engineer accomplishes certain tasks, such as how to build a subway underneath a city without disturbing it. The catch is that the engineer is a swinger. By day, the engineer figures out how to put a floating city in the sky, but by night he can’t figure out which sister (of triplets) he slept with. It will be a fast-pace drama that will be intelligent, as well as sexy. It will even spawn a new genre of television called, intellirama (intelligent + drama).

Woman shoots fireworks at police helicopterAnnoyed with a sheriff’s helicopter flying over her house late Thursday night, Marjorie Thompson ran outside with a bottle rocket launcher and started shooting rockets at the aircraft, authorities said. Authorities said they caught Thompson, 44, in the act of launching the second bottle rocket.

6-year-old Minn. boy brings pot to schoolThe father was later arrested and told investigators he hid the marijuana in the backpack, and left it in a bedroom closet. When he discovered the backpack was missing, he ran to his son’s nearby school. Sigh… people these days.

Kentucky man finds python in rental carMcBride said he thought it was a rubber snake someone put there as a joke. He even gave the snake a pat and put the car into drive.

Smoking and sex go hand-in-hand?Australian brothel owners want an exemption to anti-smoking laws for sex workers and their clients because, they say, one thing leads to another. So does sex lead to smoking or smoking leads to sex, or maybe both!

MIDAS: Multifunction In-Dorm Automation System (from /.) – Since moving into my dorm this last fall, my roommate RJ Ryan and I have been working on creating the most elaborate automation system we could envision. Featuring everything from web control, voice activation, and a security system, to large continuously running information displays, electric blinds, and one-touch parties, the custom designed MIDAS Automation System has brought ease to our lives (if one doesn’t count all the time it took to actually build and program the system). From an engineering standpoint, it looked like a fun project. From the trying to attract chicks standpoint, he applied to the wrong school.
