I'm so proud of myself, I made french toast this morning. Wasn't very good, but at least I tried.

Well, we were bored again so me, Irving and Jung went to the Block to try to see Meet the Parents. Of course it was sold out, and it was also the last show of the night. We didn't want to just leave after driving all the way there, so we walked around. Looks like the gangsta's took over. I was expecting some lame, macho motherfuckers to start fighting at any moment. Lots of cute girls too. It's like all the honeys from Orange and LA County go the Block. Anyway, we just went to Borders and then came back. Pretty lame night.

Quimby for President! He's going to expand the number of college scholarships.

"If my experience is any indication, college can be the best six years of a young person's life."

Butcher Churns Out Sausages From Public Toilet. Heh heh, yup, he sure does.

This is the professor for my compilers class. He looks like a soccer hooligan about to kick your ass cause his team lost. He's better than the professor who looked like the Unabomber I had last year, though.

After class I went to Best Buy and got a Logitech Mouseman Wheel Optical. It's very smooth and precise. Plus, the logo glows a cool blue color. You gotta love things that glow.

A minor change coming up. If you linked directly to http://evanlim.org/weblog/index.html, change your link to index.shtml. I'm gonna be adding some SSI stuff. If you just linked to http://evanlim.org/weblog/, I think you should be ok.

Shit, my mouse is really dying. The pointer skips all over the screen when I move it, and it randomly clicks links on webpages and in programs. Yup, it's definitely time for a new mouse now.

Converse Nears Corporate Excinction. This really sucks. I love Converse. I still wear the All-Stars I've had since 10th grade. They're all fucked up, some of the rubber is peeling, a few of the metal eyelets are missing, but they're still one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Maybe I should buy another pair before they're gone for good.

My friend Bobby recommended Richard (Dick) Cheese's album Lounge Against the Machine. Dick Cheese does lounge covers of alternative-y songs like Radiohead's Creep and Blink 182's What's My Age Again? (That's the only time you'll hear about Blink 182 on this blog). So I fired up Napster and found a few mp3s. Hee hee, this stuff is so cheesy it's cool. The cover of Limp Bizquik's Dookie or whatever is fucking hilarious. Dick Cheese doesn't do the whole song though, although it would probably get lame after a while.

This has probably been blogged to death, but it's still very cool. Screenshots is a series of screenshots depicting famous events from an isometric perspective (like The Sims ). I especially like the Elian Gonzalez and the Lee Harvey Oswald screenshots.

Woohoo! One of my programming assignments, which was originally due tomorrow, is now postponed to next Tuesday. I feel great right now. Of course, that just means I'll start it Monday night. When will I ever learn?

Tomorrow there's a job fair on campus. Lots of high tech, computer-sciency companies will be here. The CIA was even here last year, that was kind of cool. Somehow they knew my name before I introduced myself.

I'm gonna pass out resumes and try to get a cool job. I suppose I'll have to dress slightly better than I usually do. I'm not gonna wear a full suit though, that's a little too pathetic. Guys who wear suits to a job fair have "Butt kisser" written all over them.

Here's a good article examining the usefulness of PDAs. I was thinking of getting one, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that I'd never use it. I had a daily organizer in high school; I used it for a month and then said "fuck it" and threw it in the bottom of my locker.

Heh heh, ABCs for the 21st century.

Cyclist Picks a Fight with 100 Cars. This cyclist was pissed off at cars so he smashed 100 windows with an ice pick. Right on!

Slow morning. I can't find anything good to post. I'm at work right now and there's a workshop going on next door. I can hear the lecturer through the partition and he sounds so boring. I bet if I looked in the room all the people would be sleeping. Shit, he's making me sleepy too.

Massachusetts universities require students to buy and use laptops. It's kinda cool, I think, except they might have problems with people who can't afford laptops. I don't think laptops would be useful in every class either. I mean, do you really need a computer for...say, Russian literature?

Yesterday I went to Second Spin, this used record store in Costa Mesa. Usually they don't have anything I want, but this time I lucked out. I think some dude sold his Skinny Puppy collection, as there was 5 or 6 albums on the rack. I bought 2 cause I have the other ones already.

Then I realized I'm almost done with my Skinny Puppy collection. I just need 2 more albums and I have to replace another album I leant to a friend and never got back. After that my life has no more purpose. I'll have no reason to go on living.

Well, I suppose I could get all the singles after that. Then maybe all the bootlegs. Yeah, that's it! My life has renewed meaning! I want to live again!

I don't understand, all my roommates are guys yet whenever I go in the bathroom the toilet seat is always down.

There's some wicked fog outside. I looked at the field across the street. The fog completely covers the field and goes right up to the street and stops right at the edge. So it's just a wall of fog. That shit's wack, yo.
