Faulty RAM

cd-mcc and slapshot came by today and we help troubleshoot his computer system which has been dead for the past month? maybe more? apparently after several motherboard replacements (4 times?), we found out today that it was in fact the ram’s problem. stupid generic ram, swore to god i’d never trust them anymore, after i found out it was what caused my system to crash every other day, to reboot automatically. after he successfully installed win98se then upgraded to winxp, we watched The Lawnmower Man. weird movie i’ve gotta say. interesting, but the computer graphix and design i must say were extremely lacking. then again, this movie was probably made like 10 years ago? supposedly there’s several sequels to this movie. i don’t intend to watch them @ this point, but who knows what might come up. ^_^x

then i watched Harry Potter – Chamber of Secrets (once again in dvd quality). it’s a good fun movie. meant for kids and family. then again, if you’ve read the book, u might not enjoy this as much since you already know who opened the chamber of secrets and who Tom Riddle is… ^_^x

oh yeah, when cd-mcc came back, he made up another tycoon. after reading these 2 tycoons, i think you’ll have a general sense of what type of humor he likes. ^_^x

thanks to lsiymle for donating this kawaiiiiiiii link link. the baby is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! u can chk out more of their cool stuff on their homepage.

today was anime galore! new Hikaru no Go, Dragon Drive, Samurai Deeper Kyo and much much more! here’s some cute shots i captured from them:

Locked Out

wow, this past few days have been just an extended weekend for me with no hw and all play. liam came over today and we watched “Die Another Day” (dvd quality). above average action movie in my opinion. awesome sports cars, but the idea of that big gun was stolen from somewhere else which i don’t remember right now. most likely an anime i saw.

the worst thing happened to me today. after dinner, i got thirsty and decided to go to the convenience store next door. right after i closed my door, i realized i forgot my keys. worse of all, i was only armed with $2.25 (1 $1-bill and 5 quarters). this meant i had no cellphone, and no wallet (no access to soda = no access to computers). i went upstairs to my apartment manager’s room to see if she was in (but no one answered). i then went downstairs to check if snakescott was in, but apparently he went to study for his final. i didn’t really have much of a choice but wait for someone i knew return. meanwhile i was getting more and more thirsty. when i left the apartment complex i left a piece of cardboard keeping the front door ajar. swung right and bought myself an Arizona Ice Tea: Raspberry Flavor. Quickly returned and sat on the stairs awaiting snakescott or my apartment manager. oh yeah, at this point i’ve tried calling the emergency # on the telephone pad outside the building. both times i got an answering machine on my apartment manager’s cellphone and both times the telephone pad hung up right after it beeped for leaving a message. i couldn’t even leave a msg. =( so 2.5hrs i sat there, seeing people come up and down the stairs. a couple friend brought back a computer monitor. then there were these 2 guys that came to pick up their girlfriends. meanwhile i sat there in a t shirt and shorts (while it was raining outside). oh yeah, to keep myself busy, i was playing with the quarters i had and trying to enumerate the stuff i learned from cs70 (discrete math and one of the subjects we learned were probability and biased coins). i flipped the 6 coins i had (now 4 quarters, 1 nickel, and 1 dime after i bought my drink) 13x. 2 outta those 13x landed on all heads! what’s the possibility of that! hehe. then i was rolling the coins down the stairs. finally i heard the garage door opened. i was ooooooh! i sat there staring @ the door for what seemed like eternity. the my apartment manager walks in. i was like, “YES! Thank goodness!” i walked up to her and explained my situation and she said, “oh my, i’ll go open the door for you after i drop my groceries.” i offered to help her carry them up and she gladly accepted my offer. after she opened the door, she suggested i make a spare key and keep one in my wallet just in case. also another suggestion she made was that she’s clumsy like this too, so instead of locking the doorknob which u can do from the inside, she locks the the top latch, which requires a key if you’re trying to lock the door. good suggestions i must say. ^_^x glad that’s over.

finally the anime world is trickling back to life. Naruto 11 was released today. me very happy. me very bored for the past week. ^_^x

Need to Poop?

today was an awesome day. think i slept till ~5pm. went to bed around 8am (just like today; current time is 7:49am). i’m starting to get a bit hungry tho. hmmmmm.

just finished watching minority report. it’s a pretty good movie. not really an in-depth movie with much thinking, but it was nice to see what our future society looked liked. if u saw this movie, those LCDs were DOPE! i wish i had one.

snakescott: hmmm, do you have an extra roll of TP I can buy?
Krunk4Ever: what’s TP?
Krunk4Ever: toilet paper?
snakescott: oh, and if you have change for a $20 I can give you your $5
snakescott: yeah
Krunk4Ever: uh
Krunk4Ever: i have 1 $1
Krunk4Ever: and 2 $100
snakescott: okay
Krunk4Ever: dont think i can help u ;p
snakescott: well
Krunk4Ever: uh
Krunk4Ever: but yeah
snakescott: if you want to change a $20 for a $100
snakescott: what about the TP?
Krunk4Ever: we have tons of TP
snakescott: okay I’ll come up for a minute
Krunk4Ever: okay
Krunk4Ever: hey…
snakescott: oh doh
snakescott: I should come up
snakescott: brt
Krunk4Ever: were u planning to still come up?
Krunk4Ever: lol
Krunk4Ever: okay
snakescott: thx
Krunk4Ever: np
snakescott: 😀
Krunk4Ever: i thought u needed to poop ;p
Krunk4Ever: i was wondering where u were ;p
snakescott: haha
snakescott: so like
snakescott: sometimes you know
snakescott: you feel like maybe you need to
Krunk4Ever: then it subsides
snakescott: and then it goes away
snakescott: 😛
snakescott: yeah
snakescott: but it’s good
Krunk4Ever: yah, i’ve had that feeling
snakescott: now, that I have TP
Krunk4Ever: just hold it in long enough
snakescott: just in case
snakescott: 😀
Krunk4Ever: and the feeling disappears
Krunk4Ever: then it comes back twice as strong the next time
Krunk4Ever: more energy to hold it in
Krunk4Ever: and then it subsides
Krunk4Ever: finally u get to the point where you dont have control anymore
Krunk4Ever: and u run to the toilet
snakescott: uhm
snakescott: okay enough about this

thanks to cd-mcc, their’s been a new category added to the this site: “Tycoon of the Day“. it first came as an idea when i was arguing i wasn’t a tycoon fan and him trying to convince me i should be one… (welp, too bad i’m firm on my beliefs on which games i like and i don’t like too many games; especially after jedi knight II gave me 3d motion sickness). well, he was bringing up a bunch of random tycoons (ie NFL Tycoon, Video Game Tycoon, etc) and the titles just got weirder and weirder until he finally told me he was making these up. he said that i should have a topic on my site so he can make up Tycoons. I originally wanted to call it “Tycoon of the Moment” (all of you should know how successful my Picture of the Week was, now known as Picture of the Moment), but he said he was able to handle one a day. we’ll see about that. ;p Anyway, I’m also adding a new category called: “Previous Polls” in case anyone wanted to see the results of the previous polls.

Speaking of polls, the current poll for the iPod vs. the MZ-N1 will be ending tonite. so if you haven’t voted and want to voice your opinion, this is your last chance! ^_^x the ending time will be sometime after midnite. new poll will be up tomorrow.

How to Watch VCDs with Multiple Languages

first of all, remember to wish mechy a BIG
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
(12.12.198x)

finished my 2nd final today and i’m pretty happy with it. hope i get that B. ^_^x anyway, i have one final left and that’s on the 19th which is NEXT THURSDAY. i’m a free man for an entire week. sweet! ^_^x too bad anime releases are slowed down due to college students and finals. argggh, i was expecting them to celebrate with me. )o;

thanks to esca for donating this cute flash movie. it’s about 2 Australian bird type of animals who get finally get together after the guy makes a fool of himself. hehe ;p

thanks to sueon for donating this funny movie. ever wonder if babies ****… well, you’ll soon find out. ^_^x

i finally found the perfect player to play HKVCDs. it’s called XingMPEGplayer. ever watched a movie where one channel was one language, and the opposite channel was in another language (common on HKVCDs where one channel is cantonese and one channel is mandarin). before i would always have to change the balance on the main volume control and it would only come outta 1 speaker/side of earphones. well, thanks to a couple friends from #calnime who told me that XingMPEGplayer has this audio option where i can select audio left/right to come out of BOTH my channels. thought some of you may find this useful since Windows Media Player and many MANY other movie players seem to lack this feature (ie: QuickTime, RealPlayer, etc.)

I JacKsOn I: thanks a lot toland
I JacKsOn I: i can grab files from m comp now !! =)
Krunk4Ever: kewl
Krunk4Ever: np ^_^x
I JacKsOn I: haha u still say kewl
I JacKsOn I: i remember the day u thought me what “=)” was
Krunk4Ever: hehe
I JacKsOn I: cuz u put it after like every 5 sentences… n i wuz like wtf is =)
I JacKsOn I: then u told me look at it sideways
I JacKsOn I: and now i see it EVERYWHERE
Krunk4Ever: haha. i use this smiley now: ^_^x
I JacKsOn I: hmm
I JacKsOn I: that 1 is right side up
Krunk4Ever: yep

cdm once again has decided to change his nick to cd-mcc (cunndogg – mecca). ^_^x

Final – Optional?

in the midst of today’s final, our GSI (TA in some universities; stands for graduate student instructor) took out one of those big 8-balls and said, “hmmmmmm, should i make this final optional?” of course we thought he was joking, so we continued our test. “The 8 ball says: All Signs Point to YES.” he goes on telling us that it was decided that the final was made optional and if it helps our grade, it’ll be included. else, they’ll discard it. One student asked what if the 8-ball said NO. our GSI said, he’d have shaken it again. in fact the class before already knew about this but was told not to tell us so we would study. dunno if this was a good thing or not. i spent 10 hrs studying… yucky and to find out this final was optional. i could’ve used that time to study for tomorrow’s final.

the answers to yesterday’s riddle:

Riddle 1: the entire riddle was meant to mislead you. the way you should think about this is that the 3 men paid a total of $30 and got $3 back ($1 for each person) yielding a net cost of $27. what the $2 the bellboy kept was the $2 extra that they paid. $27 – $2 = $25 (amount they should’ve paid).

Riddle 2: There is in fact 6 “F”s:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
supposedly the F’s in the word OF is very hard for the human brain to acknowledge. i think it was because it doesn’t make the fa- sound. but who knows ;p

telebears has just been a nitemare lately. haven’t been able to access it online for 2 days already. and my telebears started monday. (for those that don’t know telebears, it’s berkeley’s class registration system). anyway, i finally gave up telebears online and went for the fone. got in on my first try and although it took me 30mins to figure out how to use the fone system, i got the remainder of the classes i want registered. here’s a temporary look of my next semester schedule.

welp, a close friend of mine (not sure if he wants me to say his name) made a donation (located on the left if you feel like giving in this jolly season ^_^x). however, those greedy bastards took everything! grrrrr. welp it was no use keeping $0.00 so i refunded the money. hehe.

paypal - 2 cents

welp, i’m heading for bed early today. g’nite ^_^zzz

2 Riddles

it’s 5:38am and i’ve been studying since 4pm this afternoon. really really tired right now, but finished studying. in the process of making my cheat sheet right now. 1st final is tomorrow @ 1:30pm. i’ll probably get ~6-7hrs of sleep.

thanks to soujiro for bring up some good old riddles that made you feel super retarded:

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS’ ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. WHERE IS THE OTHER

Count the # of “F”s the occur in this sentence (no cheating):
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

I’ll post answers to these tomorrow. anyway, i’ll go back to working on my cheat sheet. 5 minute break is over.

Special Notice: from this point on, cunndogg will be referred to cdm as per request. ^_^x it stands for Cunndogg Mecca.

today we were watching some kung fu tournaments on ESPN. one was Breaking Championship which u try to be creative and impress the judges by what you break and how you break them (usually breaks, baseball bats, and etc.) Then there was this kung fu dance type of thingy and cdm asked me wasn’t this so awesome. two words: joe eigo. ^_^x (most of the links on the webpage don’t seem to work. i recently deleted all my backups to it. so hopefully his mirrors will come back up soon.

Esca’s Surprise Visit

hopefully the stupid washing machine will be fixed today. grrrrrr. anyway, today was a pretty fun day. my friend mercurial from UCR (aka my Chinese VCD source) sent me 4 different movies today (once again leeching off berkeley’s bw; muwahahahaha!) who knows, esca unexpectedly shows up @ my apartment w/o any notice beforehand. welp, he hung out @ jake’s place until i got back and which he came to get his “My Sassy Girl” DVD1s. while he was here, he got our linux box finally up and running. (esca = the linux pimp to cunndogg).

thanks to esca for donating this link. i’ve read bits and pieces of this before, but this is by far the best and longest compilation i’ve seen yet. One thing i don’t particularly get was:

23. Disney movies are more than classics

is there a 2nd meaning to that? or does it just mean disney movies are awesome (which i know is a fact) but disney movies are awesome to all ages (young and old).

thanks to ladydevilot for donating this link. many of you may have seen the panda dog before, but here he is again, stealing your hearts from your boy/girlfriend. hehe. ^_^x

welp it’s 7:20am, and i’m offta bed. need to study tomorrow. grrrr =(

My Sassy Girl Discussion

today was a somewhat laid back day. was originally set for studying, but i guess that got canceled. ;p went to barney’s for dinner with liam, lydia, and cunndogg. during dinner, somehow My Sassy Girl was brought up and we decided to go home and mix up some drinks (obviously not for me) and watch it. fantasy has been boasting about how great this movie is being the #2 seller in Korea after Titanic. Movie was in fact pretty good. If you like asian drama (yes that includes chinese, japanese, and korean) drama, you’ll like this. ^_^x

just read this in “Psychology Today” (a magazine i have no recollection of subscribing to, but it outta be free cause i personally never pay for magazines): HOW DO STUDENTS COPE WITH PROCRASTINATION? THEY LIE. personally most of my hw doesnt really have ‘someone’ to collect it, so i don’t really ‘need’ an excuse. does that put me in a better or worse situation? hehe. i’ve gotta say, besides Popular Science, Time, and Newsweek, this is one of the better magazines i’ve ever laid hands upon. ^_^x

oh well, study session tomorrow. g’nite ^_^zzz

Mechy – Girl Magnet

today was last day of class. w00h00! finals come in 5 days thought, but i’m still happy that instruction has ended. welp, guess who i bumped into today? our all-time favorite mechy! haven’t seen him for so looonnngggg! anyway, apparently he’s gotten even more popular (especially girls). i was with liam waiting for him to complete his physics 7b hw when i noticed mechy was in the room! so i went over and during the 30minute slot which we chatted, at least 5 girls came by and said “Hi Chris!” hehe. ^_^x

first and foremost, i’d like to apologize to ungsunghero. if you checked my site earlier yesterday, u may have caught a glimpse of an article by ungsunghero. but i played a terrible joke and he was offended.

saw this quote on carii’s webblog which i really liked:

… i think when i paint my mug, i’m gonna put some sort of quote on it. =D something like… “drink more and you shall pee more often” or something silly like that. =) hee.

thanks to Animefan01 for donating this link. it’d be funnier if you know cantonese and if i’m not mistaken, those pictures were actually from the He-Man cartoon. wow, it’s been awhile…

thanks to mista for providing this link. hilarious flash site. click around and play with all the buttons. u get to get the guy to do different stuff.

i found this cool bumper sticker sitting on my desk when i went home during veteran’s day. thought it was pretty amusing. hehe. in fact, i know a couple of ppl that use this saying ALL THE TIME! hehe ^_^x

bite me - bumper sticker

btw, i just realized how good an artist my sister is. chk out her drawings here
