g.w. is staring off into the distance... sigh, he looks like a 5 year old being told to sit still.

also: the delay inherent in satellite programming becomes very clear when i view both the nbc and cnn broadcast side by side, seeing as i still get network programming the old fashioned way, with an antenna.

mmm mmm good

i'm watching nbc's ongoing coverage of reagan's funeral, and it's these sort of events that i love. the continuous major network coverage, tom brokaw handing coverage off to bryan jennings, because as a major US figure, he has privlige to attend the funeral in the national cathedral. all these world dignitaries, the odd mishmash of celebrities... tom sellick for heaven sakes.

ooo, they cut to the clintons trying to make small talk. the bushes [all of them]. former canadian prime minister brian mulroney, gerald and betty ford, the carters, gorbechav, kerry, margaret thatcher, prince charles, the line of cadillacs. the pomp and circumstance of the military.

this is why i love the olympics. this is why i love national spectacles. 4000 of some of the most important people in the us-centric world gathered in the national cathedral. and yes, they've started singing ave maria... god i love ceremony.

oh ho ho ho....

in the past several weeks since school has ended, i estimate [through helpful rpg game clocks] that i've used my ps2 for about 140 hours. and this has been since may 23rd.

i'm hooooooome!

now, come visit me.

you know where to find me.

final. fantasy. concert. felt so sorry for those in the standby line, with my 5th row tickets! that was lots of fun, uematsu, amano, and sakaguchi were there, and man was there a lot of clapping. they charged incredible prices for the programs and merchandise, but that concert was worth it.

projected end of freshman year gpa: 3.35.
projected end of freshman year mood: blah.
projected end of freshman year reaction from parents: not pleased.

i woke up in a cold sweat today, dreaming of trying to catch my flight on time, and never getting anywhere. i think it's symbolic of the futility of working against uber-asians [with an umlaut, which i don't know how to do], when i am just a normal asian, a not-particularily good one at that.

on the good side of the ledger, i got a job with residental computing, which means i have finally attained gainful employment.

you berkeley people...

saw him speak in zellerbach auditorium, event scheduled for 7-9, in actuality, 7:30 - midnight. spoke for nearly 5 hours. got zinged by him on a yelled out comment about 13 yr olds fucking. whee!

Fri, 26 Mar 2004 09:47:14 GMT

it's good to be home, if only for a week. no classes, no constant barrage of work, irritating roommate, or any of the little annoyances of berkeley. though, it would seem that spring break has turned me into a sloth once again, i spend my days sleeping, waking only to eat, and watch the naked chef. kekeke

i seem to be plauged with the inability to write an entry longer than 3 or 4 sentences, unless of course it includes pictures. my camera is stuck up in berkeley, so i suppose i'll just have to make do with shorter entries.

omg, how not wierd life effecting, but still...

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 08:07:37 GMT

new robin! omg! spoiler! too bad, no one that reads comics would see this, except for perhaps noah. girl robin! dick grayson, jason todd, and tim drake, who seemeed like he would at least stick for a while. why am i just finding out about this? what about batman's fetish for teenage boys? batman and a teenage girl? i think not.

yah, yah

Fri, 05 Mar 2004 10:30:10 GMT

why?
harry potter.
seriously, why?
harry potter and helen.

Tue, 24 Feb 2004 08:55:25 GMT

yes, i have come to it, the 'i am miserable here at berkeley lj entry'

i am miserable here, i honestly don't know what to do with myself.

pls advise.

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 10:52:59 GMT

3 am here in berkeley, just got back from second pulled fire alarm of the night, the first one being an hour ago. pouring rain outside to boot, yay! so yeah. if this happens a third time i'm going down with the building.

Sun, 01 Feb 2004 10:05:54 GMT

whee... would you believe it, i'm reading some fanfiction that actually takes place in berkeley. how wierd is that? and it's the OC for heaven's sake. and it's like hey! doe library, i do work there. that's cool!

narcissism? no way!

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 09:50:45 GMT

friend and i bart'ed over to daly city to partake of the local todai restaurant, where we gorged ourselves thoroughly on sushi and various other seafood items. and it turned out we really couldn't walk for a half an hour after that. it was about an hour or so bart ride and bus ride each way, but it was worth it.

no pictures this update, but my friend drew the anime smiley face on the receipt, which looks like this: ^_^ and we hope that brightened up someone's day.

Thu, 15 Jan 2004 10:36:21 GMT

why do i read death stories? because i'm a fucking idiot, that's why. god damn it.

ok, here's another picture of me because you guys have short attention spans, and i'm a uber-narcisist after getting my hair done. for weeks i endlessly searched out mirrors to look in.

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 11:09:51 GMT

i love me my gundam wing. solid blocks of anime viewing, followed by a fanfiction feast. mwuahahaha.

Sun, 28 Dec 2003 07:12:43 GMT

blast from the past, my desktop now looks like it did in the late 90's, as my current monitor and speakers are still in berkeley. but yes, here's a pic from the grand snow adventure in tahoe

notice the blond in front, and my "i am le tired" expression

omg pls...

Fri, 19 Dec 2003 07:16:38 GMT

christ, i have never had a semester go as bad as the one that just went by. here's to never having one like this ever again. b's! many of them!

in lighter news, i bleached the first inch or so of my bangs. it took 3 hours. but i think it looks good. yes, it looks very good.

pictures! [to avoid finals study...]

Wed, 10 Dec 2003 02:51:49 GMT

this is my "finals study mode configuration" desk. you can see that i have lecture slides open, but that's a lj window cleverly hidden behind it. my laptop isn't even contributing to study, it has guides for knights of the old republic on it.

my replacement hard drive finally came. i am happy. but then i may not get time to install it before i go back to la. sad.

this is my closet. i haven't done laundry in much too long. the car ride home is not going to be very pleasant

this is what $80 worth of manga looks like. sigh. no time to read it at all.

my roommate has gone to the library to do his studying. so the cardigans are helping me with my studying.

this is what the "super-dc" looks like. a prison.

[idea shamelessly stolen from timothy, even though i've done it before too]

ah, sou....

Tue, 09 Dec 2003 04:16:01 GMT

haven't updated in so long, finals are coming up, tim is still funny, and my right eye seems to be taking up "being red" as a hobby. blah blah blah, whine whine whine. it's cold, but we'll never get any snow. damn that east coast. i like how there's more wireless access points on campus now. so, yes, that''s it. i will most definately post pictures from our grand roadtrip from san fransisco to los angeles, in a subaru. it's almost like car and driver's 'drive across the nation in a heavily modified vw jetta diesel without stopping for gas,' except we're gonna stop for gas. and the bathroom. and drive much over 55, and forget about fuel economy. yes.

bleh

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 00:54:46 GMT

i've had 3 hours of sleep, and just spent 3 hours in the lab, if i were tim i'd give you a photo montage of how tired i look, and how my hair is pretty greasy right now. but man, does it feel good to finish that solidworks assignment.

3 weeks until i fly back to la. see you space cowboy...

i wouldn't have posted the results otherwise...
