New Nike Shoes

just got my new shoes today! w00h00! click here to check them out. paid only $6.60 shipped. had a $80GC to NikeTown which I got because my old pair of Nikes had a hole on the bottom of the shoe and the inside of the shoes got super wet whenever it rains.

thanks to ungsunghero for donating this link. story is hilarious in some ways and painful in others. ever had that sorta experience. well, the original story is here. it’s bout some old guy accidentally burning and scarring his wee-wee by using his laptop on his lap. OUCH! if you like these type of stories, i’d like to direct you to fark.com which has tons of these stories. ^_^x

went to see one hour photo @ Wheeler tonite. Movie was sorta disappointing in that the story never really capture the audience to follow it intensely which a good suspense thriller would require. Robin Williams really wasn’t meant to do these type of horror suspense movies. he’s the funny type of guy for great comedies! but who would’ve known, carii and deCAThAneRD went to watch this too! cunndogg and i decided to leave those 2 luvbirds alone. don’t wanna bother deCAThAneRD if he tries to pull some moves. hehe -_^x

cunndogg told me this funny joke today:

There were 2 friends who were from the South and have moved onto college. One of his friends went to a Northeastern college and invited his other friend to a party. The friend gladly accepted the invitation and the party was a hit! The visiting friend decided to try his luck and hit on some chix. He saw a couple cute ones and asked, “Which university are y’all from?” The girls giggled and replied “Yale” The friend then screamed, “WHICH UNIVERSITY ARE Y’ALL FROM?“

thanks to Cantaka for providing this link. Rumor is that AT&T and Comcast Cable may be soon implementing a new rule to their broadband cable internet. Rumor says that they will enforce a monthly download limit of ~10GB. YUCKY YUCKY YUCKY =(. i myself d/l more than that every couple days. if they switch on me, i’ll switch to DSL. easy as that! ^_^x

Merged my Anime List & #calnime page together into 1 now. decided that they were relatively the same thing and added and changed some links which you may find helpful. if you find any dead links or something wrong, please notify me IMMEDIATELY. thanks ^_^x

Watched The Ninth Gate on DVD tonite. an awesome movie which dives deep into the satanic world and how humans sell their souls to satan. If you’ve never watched it, i super recommend it. Well, it’s time for Hikaru no Go! FINALLY A NEW EPISODE! ^_^x

Hippo and Hippo Jr.

nothing much happened today. was rather boring. spent most of it sleeping. hehe.

welp, i’m brain dead @ the moment. so i’ll just post up some pictures of hippo and hippo jr.:

good hippoevil hippohippo with hippo jr.

Story actually goes like this. i got hippo and mono from a fund raiser for my science club. turned out to be a lot cuter than what i expected. hippo was definitely cuter and i was actually going to give it to my brother for christmas but i ended up keeping it. hehe. well, hippo came with a hook which i hooked to either my backpack or my pants whenever i went out or to school. it was like a new thing and hippo enjoyed sight seeing. one day, i realized he was not hooked onto either my pants nor my backpack. i frantically searched for him and asked every single one of my friends if they’ve seen hippo. apparently one of my friends said she saw it on the top of my car, which i recall never placing him. sigh, as you can tell, i was majorly depressed. i emailed the fund raiser company asking if they had any left which i can purchase from. the sweet lady replied back apologizing that they no longer carry this item, but will try to see if they have any left overs. well, this story has a happy ending and 2 days later i got another email and said they found ONE LAST ONE and was going to mail it to me for FREE! i was like AWESOME and i couldn’t thank the lady enough. welp. hippo jr. and mono are here with me in Berkeley, but hippo (sr.) will never be forgotten. *sniff*

Car Trouble

met a rather interesting family today in the garage, they were pushing their car outta the garage. i offered to help and they said, u can help starting by moving out of the way. i was thinking, “okay, not going to help u guys then. your lost” as i was leaving, i asked if the car was down, and they laughed, “Oh no! it’s just the car is so big and the parking lot is so tight, we didn’t want to run into the pillars or other cars. so we thought by pushing we’d get more control.” i responded with a simpled word: kewl. and the lady snapped back, “not cool!” weird encounter i must say.

Here’s a really old joke which i dug up in My Documents:

This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland I OCT/95 Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US navy ship. I say again divert your course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE LARGEST AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is the light house. Your call!!!

Thanks to ungsunghero for point this out: CNN: Global goofs: U.S. youth can’t find Iraq. this article shows how dumb our society is when 11% of 18-24 yr olds can’t point out where USA is on a world map. i mean COMON! this is where u bust out your Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego skillz. that game was so fun. i remember i would skip recess everyday and play with my friend Ivan. sigh… haven’t seen Ivan for so long i dont even know where he is anymore. But play Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego was so exciting. it was actually something i looked forward to go to school for. playing in our class’ apple IIe computer. hehe.

cunndogg just told me some very interesting facts about Canada and England. Supposedly, Canada is still an British Colony and the Queen is still holds the executive power. She gets to appoint who the governor or Canada is and can dissolve the parliament at her will. i always thought she was just a symbolic icon but supposedly cunndogg says she can dissolve Britain’s parliament too. she just doesn’t use her power. and to think i always thought the prime minister had the most power. another interesting fact is u know how Canadians talk by adding and -ay to end of their sentence. (ie. What’s up-ay? How’s it going-ay? You the man-ay) so when deciding their name for their country or colony, the picked up random letters from a hat and the guy reading off the letters said: C-ay, N-ay, D-ay and there you have today’s spelling of Canada. hehe ^_^x

here’s something i learned i found very funny. in programming we often use the variable foo and i thought it was just a random word made up from nowhere. but apparently there’s some history behind it. the word foo was said to be extracted from fubar (foo-bar) which stands for ‘f*cked up beyond all recognition’. i find this fact very amusing. hehe. ^_^x

Saturnus in Witch Hunter Robin

been a rather busy day. but my ebates check arrived yesterday and got cashed today for a whooping $12 something! lucky ungsunghero has a friend who buys through him and he’s getting all the commission fees. 1 17″ LCD and 2 >3MP digicams. *drools* @ all the commission ungsunghero is going to make. of course he forced me not to say who he’s buying it for.

updated calnime page for those who are interested in checking out new animes, but don’t particularly like or know how to use mIRC or other iRC clients. ^_^x

well, it’s late tonite and i’m sorry for another lousy post, but while watching Witch Hunter Robin, i noticed this familiar picture:

Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya

for those that still don’t remember where this poster was, i believe mrs. mac had it on her wall. maybe not? but very close at least. really miss her. she was a really fun teacher to have.

Silent Soda

nothing much happened today. went to class and started my project for cs61b. during ee20 lecture, on the board it wrote: “(Makeup for last Friday) Review Session, Cory 277, Tomorrow @ 6PM” I was like O SH*T! another midterm? makeup midterm, what the heck is going on. I find out later it was a makeup session for a discussion which apparently the professor was late to. *whew*

last nite on my way out to soda, i heard a PAK! i was like WO! then another PAK and i saw San Francisco Tribunes around me wrapped in blue see-through plastic. this was @ 3:30am and there was this guy driving in a small car throwing newspapers out his window. the scene turned out to be hilarious and i waved goodbye to the newspaper delivery guy as he drove away. after i went to soda, this is the FIRST TIME the entire 2nd floor was empty. I even went into each room to double check. it was silent as a (well not silent since the computers were humming) but u get the point. it was like ghost town, when usually there’s at least 5 or 6 ppl working on their CS projects and hw.

welp, today’s entry is going to be short. 5am and i have 9:30am class tomorrow. i’ll end it with what crabyaple sent me: a link that’s so scary that even if i warn you it’s scary, you’d still be scared. don’t believe me. well try it. i dare you! -_^x

Shipping Pennies

bleh, it’s 1:50am and i need to head over to soda to finish my cs lab. grrrrr. oh well, 1 more episode of Cooking Master Boy before I go. hehe ;p

i was just thinking with ungsunghero, that if i won an auction and the seller accepted pennies, it would be very expensive to ship it. i just immediately assumed that $1 or 100pennies ~ 1lb. but ungsunghero proved me wrong and said 6 pennies = 1 ounce. so if 16 ounces = 1lb, then 96 pennies = 1lb. to ship $41 or 4100 pennies (weighing ~43lbs) would cost $18 for UPS Ground. i was expecting at least $30 to ship it, but wow! only $18. hehe.

was reading a newsletter and i noticed these semi-funny stereotypes:

It’s also fun to observe the impressions Americans make on the Japanese, what stereotypes they come up with when they think of Americans. In Gunma, where we live, most gaijin ride mountain bikes, especially Mormon missionaries, so mountain bikes and foreigners go together in the minds of Japanese. Americans are famous for being optimistic in all things — I once doodled a happy face on a piece of paper and was told “That’s very American” by a Japanese friend. Americans are famous for being bad at math (something I am personally guilty of), and according to my wife, Americans are never on time, although she might be just talking about me.

isn’t it asians that are never on time. i remember someone told me that. could it be… damion? hehe. -_^x

for those that didn’t know. a new ninjai episode has came out. it actually came out a week ago, but i forgot to tell you guys.

Postcard Freebies

guess what today is!?!?!
HAPPY BDAY BRANDO!!!

damion droped by today outta the blue. well, not totally outta the blue, but i wasn’t expecting, well, more like i forgot i should be expecting him. hehe. ben called a bit later and he drove us to safeway for grocery shopping. damion actually requested my help on building his new computer last week, but it just sorta slipped my mind or maybe i was expecting him to IM me. hehe. anyway, his computer is up and running now. stupid WD hds gave us some trouble. who puts MASTER & SINGLE DRIVE on 2 separate jumper settings. stupid Western Digital. =( took like 15mins to figure out the stupid problem. then we went to Mel’s for dinner. good milkshakes they have there, but barney’s oreo milkshake is still the best imho.

well, want freebies? like my george foreman grill? welp, as long as you’re a california resident, you’re capable of receiving the following items for FREE:

  • Austin Powers – Goldmember DVD
  • $100 Gas Vouchers
  • $50 US Saving Bonds
  • Digital Pen Camera
  • George Foreman Grill
  • Cuisinart Mini Food Chopper
  • JWin Personal CD Player
  • Web Camera
  • Touchscreen Digital Organizer
  • Electronic Organizer
  • Credit Report

All you have to do is mail out a postcard which i found out you can obtain for FREE! Liam said that the postcards were free @ Tower Records, but @ Mel’s we found a whole bunch of free postcards there too! carii says IKEA has them too! wow! had no idea free postcards were everywhere, i was even about to pay $.20 for each if i couldn’t find any. index cards worked for awhile, but several got shot back because apparently the size of a postcard must exceed 5.5″. anyway, for more detailed instructions on what to do, check out these 2 threads on FatWallet: thread1 & thread2

oh yeah, for those that don’t know, my guestbook creates a new page every time it hits 20 posts. no, your post did not disappear (unless you’re the guy that clicked submit like 60x) and you can chk the previous posts by clicking the selection menu on the upper right hand corner of the guest book page.

quote of the moment (from Fantasy):

i regret… that life isn’t like an RPG where u kick ur reset and load from save to solve all your mess ups

so true, yet life would be so perfect it’d be boring.

It Is Better to Die on Your Feet Than to Live on Your Knees

sorry about last nite. went to sleep @ 9pm because didn’t have much sleep time the nite before. according to cunndogg, my cell phone was going crazy last nite. found out today dad was calling because of a health emergency type of thingy. oh well 9pm to 12pm. wow! 15hrs of sleep. nice huh? hehe.

had my midterm on thursday. went quite well, until i went over answers with liam. sigh… thought i did good too! but stuff just often turns out to be the least expected. hope i still can manage a B on the MT. i’ll let you guys know.

Bicycle Stunt

what do you think about getting to the LAX airport from Monterey Park in 15 minutes? fast huh? too bad that wasn’t me. hehe. took me 30mins to get there and thank god there wasn’t much traffic. my dad hasn’t been busting my chops on my driving skills anymore. i wonder why…

well, i met an interesting guy @ the airport. i was using my laptop with my wireless nic stuck in (obviously the wireless nic wasn’t doing anything since there’s no Access Points @ the airport, but i noticed that if i kept it in, it’ll stop it from auto-shutting down). well, he asked if i had any connection in here and i told him my story. he says cool and somehow i told him he i was going to berkeley and he told me he graduated majoring in CS. i asked if he was a berkeley graduate but he said no, and replied that he actually graduated from the University of India. he asked if BSD was still around and i said yep. then we went our own ways. ^_^x

I’ve seen many donation buttons lately and cunndogg actually showed me an article of a woman paying back her $20,000 of debt just by asking for donations. here’s the article on CNN. well, for anyone that has the money to support a poor college student, i’d be more than happy to accept it. -_^x

while i was going off to cs discussion today. there were this biker. guess he was either late or trying a new stunt. he jumped off the stairs with his bike and when he landed, he slipped off his seat and fell smack on the metal bar between his legs. @ this pt, i was cringing also. OUCH! i’d like to show you ungsunghero’s response when he heard this:

ungsunghero: damn you
ungsunghero: i just spit water all over my monitor

thanks to KiwiKYd for donating this link. Are u a DDR maniac? if so, then you’ll luv this game. ^_^x

New Pets – Canaries

when i went home, i found out my family has obtained some new pets. 2 yellow canaries were given to us by some friends. i took some quick shots right before i left:

canariescanaries

reminds me of the quote i heard in “Lilo and Stitch“:

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

btw, i found out more about my name. for those that know my name, my name is actually GREEK. my dad says so. after a bit of research, it seems that there’s 2 origins of my name: British and Irish

crabyaple sent me a picture yesterday which many of you may find highly disturbing, so if you’re not in the mood, i advise you not to click on this link. i’ve actually posted the actual poster up here before, and if you twisted minds out there want to see the actual thing, here it is: link

welp, after my laptop auto-shutdown for the 50th time, i was about to give up on it. life sucked, i couldn’t find my stupid restore cd and tech support was no use. then suddenly, outta no where, the cd popped out! i formatted the hard drive and restored it to factory standards and no more auto-shutdown! w00h00. since it was a new computer, i decided to turn it into a ibook. here’s the screenshot. from now on, it’s going to be called: babykrunk – ibook. hehe.

i just brought back all the dvds i’ve accumulated over the first 2 months (which were sent home) with me to berkeley. my kenshin dvd collection is almost complete. just missing vol 21 and 22.

dvd collection

have u guys seen those MAC Switch ads. well, someone found a hilarious parody of it: thedarkside.com/switch. i may have sent u this link already since i’ve been mass IMing it to friends over the weekend.
