From the Week: Friday night; hopped over to Emerybay to watch One Hour Photo (some of us enjoyed it more than others); slid over Thalassa's, bumped into high-school friends (Jeannie and her whole freakin' posse!). Saturday; more D2, went to Japantown (hmm, there seem to be some sort of nightlife going on around those parts), drove semi-aimlessly around Twin Peaks. Sunday; Alice's Now & Zen Fest 2002 (the crowd was too mellow, boo).
From Computer Science: Wednesday; I decided to not major in Computer Science. Perhaps I'll add this and reasons and such to my spiel someday. :)
Ah, finally, the pictures are here!
It's been a while, so excuse me for being abrupt.
Well, let's see... I was in Honolulu for three days, and, us being the good tourists that we are, we visited the U.S.S. Arizona. I also went to the Polynesian Cultural Center on the other side of Oahu, where I learned oodles about the various cultures (Sumerians rock!); also, I got to throw spears and (attempt to) juggle poi balls. Oh, yes, and we visited the beach a few times and did a little shopping.
Then, it was time to hop over to the airport for an inter-island flight to Maui; I suggested catapulting people between islands would be much more efficient, but I guess no one else liked the idea.
We established ourselves at a resort, and I quickly held camp at the beach with my copy of Wild Sheep Chase.
At Maui, I got to see some mucho impressive panoramics, many of which I was able to pose with that overused hang-loose gesture. Of course, there was just some general random silliness, including putting my arms through my shorts. Mainly, it was a lot of sitting on the beach, driving around to see rocks and more rocks, and posing for pictures.
All-in-all, it was a relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, that was a month ago. :)
Don't get the Sourdough Burger at Burger King: the bun is freakin' drenched in oil. That defeats the purpose of the bun: to keep the hands clean of the gook from the meat/sauces; as one of my friends put it quite gracefully, "it's like an edible wrapper."
Went to the #20 A's game. Increbidle game! My throat was sore for a few days afterwards.
I saw Mulholland Drive. It's not confusing if you're able to move the timeline around (think Memento). Also, the blue key!
I also saw Bourne Identity. I'm a fan of Matt Damon (and Ben Affleck has no hair). I liked the "body surfing" near the end. :)
This past sunday, I went to the showing of Surprise Party at KIMA's Korean Film Festival in Berkeley. Hehe, bubbly goody-2-shoes romantic comedy.
I'm working on getting those Hawaii pics up, you bastards! It's difficult when Japanese continues to assu kikku shite imasu!!
So, it has come to pass that I have once again slipped into the evil which is video games--more specifically: Diablo II. I'm tired. My fingers hurt. My back doesn't feel comfortable when I sit upright. My eyes are dry. I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. My hands are sweaty. And people are pining for an update once more!
Well, all I can say is that my Barb is now Level 16, and I haven't read a page of Kavalier and Clay nor Catch-22 for quite some time now. In fact, I haven't done my obligatory academia work for the weekend either! Oh, blessid is he who is cursed by Diablo!
Oh, and a Happy Labor Day to all those of you laboring out there: you need it. Now, go out there and make this country some money!
