Yep, another boring night in Irvine. I feel like I should be out doing something, instead of sitting at my computer in my stuffy room. It seems like life's passing me by. Everybody's out partying and enjoying themselves and doing important things. I dunno, maybe I'm just imagining things. Maybe nobody else is doing anything exciting either. If you're out having a good time, uh, email me when you get back. If, like me, you're bored out of your mind, email me now.

I went to a computer show in Buena Park today. There's a lot of really fucked up-looking people at computer shows. And the smell is indescribable. There aren't many cute girls either. Anyway, I suffered through it all to get a hard drive and an ATA/66 card. I finally finished setting up the hard drive. 27 gigs. That's storage baby! That'll last me another year at least. The card doesn't quite work yet. I'll figure it out later.

Hey, I never noticed this before: on The Simpsons, Marge's hair salon is called The Perm Bank. I can't believe they got away with that. Actually, I can't believe they got away with a lot of stuff. Man, I love that show.

Saw Chicken Run tonight. It was very entertaining. I was amazed at how effectively the animators were able to convey emotions with clay. I also liked the way they filmed it: it feels just like a regular live-action movie rather than claymation. Now I want to see the Wallace and Gromit movies too. Luckily all three are available on DVD.

RealityRun sounds like a very interesting game show. A contestant, called the RealityRunner, is dropped off somewhere in Berlin, and if he can hide for 24 days without being discovered by the RealityHunter, he wins $10,000. The cool part is that anyone can submit tips on the website about where the RealityRunner is.

The American Atheists website has a ton of information and articles about atheism. They also have cool bumper stickers like "No Special Rights for Christians" and Darwin fish for your car.

Wow, what a cool robbery: Gang Storms Airport, Takes $500,000 in Gold. This sounds like something out of Heat.

AtomFilms has a fairly good parody called American Pi, which, obviously, is a parody of the excellent Pi and the overrated American Pie.

I just realized how INCREDIBLY LAME writing an essay in the middle of summer is. I have to write about my internet usage. If I didn't care about grades or dignity, it would go like this: weblogging, porn, porn, porn, porn, warez, mp3z, porn, weblogging, mp3z, thinking about porn while weblogging. Ugh.

Heh heh, Chia Pets. There was this dude in my high school named Henry Chia, and we used to give him such a hard time about it. Those were the days.

Have I mentioned how boring work is? I wanna crawl under my table and take a nap, but someone would probably take my computer. I've been trying to find cool stuff to post but it's a slow morning. Ah well, at least it's almost Friday.

Here's a list of famous computer bugs. I guess it's only of interest to computer science geeks, but anyway...

New World Record in Hot Dog Contest. This dude nicknamed "The Rabbit" won the contest. "The Rabbit?" What kind of nickname is that? Poor guy, probably gets his ass kicked a lot. The dude who won the contest last year is nicknamed "The Terminator." He sounds like one of those muscle assholes with the sleeveless shirts and the barbed wire tattoos around his biceps. The second place dude is nicknamed "The Big Banana." Heh heh, I wonder why they call him that? The third place dude doesn't have a nickname. Loser.
      Man, I want a cool nickname now. I wanna be "The Chief" or "The Dude" or "T-Bone." I'm just rambling here, nothing else to do at work. Maybe I'll go hit on that new intern who doesn't talk much. Nah, I don't have the guts.

Riots Over Lack of Drinking Water. Yeah right, we all know they were rioting over the Lakers.

My 4th of July was fairly mundane. Went to a barbeque for lunch. Afterwards I smelled (smelt?) all smoky. Played a lot of Diablo 2, of course. I think I'm hooked. My roommate went to see Weezer. Lucky ass.

Stupid Diablo 2, now my hand hurts.

This has probably been blogged to death already, so here it is again! The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Were an Evil Overlord. One of my favorites:

"52. I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about."
