Finally finished studying for one class. Argh, I wasted the whole afternoon. I think I'll take a break before I start studying for my other class. My SLC Punk DVD arrived today. I'm really tempted to watch that right now, but if I do that I'll never get back to studying. Fuck it, I'll save it for Monday night after midterms are over.

Damnit, my whole weekend's gonna be wasted. I have 2 midterms on Monday I need to study for. And tomorrow my boss wants me to come in to work. Work! On a Sunday! That's fucking terrible. Thank god I don't have to wear a tie or drive a long commute, or I'd be really pissed off.

Daily Radar is gone but they left one last top 10 list. I like number 8: We wanted to beat the other game website employees to the unemployment lines.

Asian Man Has Thing For Asian Women
I can't link directly to it so I'll just post the whole story here.

Asian Man Has Thing For Asian Women
TOKYO-- Shoji Furukawa, a 33-year-old Tokyo man, confessed Monday to a fetish for Asian women. "For some reason, as long as I can remember, I've always been into Asian chicks," Furukawa said. "I don't know what it is about them, but they just totally do it for me." Furukawa said the preference may be a familial trait, noting, "My dad was really into Asian girls, too."

I haven't visited SatireWire in a long time and I missed a lot of good stories:
Business Proverb "Success Built On Failure" Being Taken Much Too Literally, Study Says

...hundreds of dot-coms and other companies seem to have taken the phrase entirely too literally in the mistaken belief that the bigger the failure, the larger the eventual success.

AT&T plans to achieve the 100 percent internal reduction through layoffs, attrition and early retirement packages. To achieve the 20 percent in external reductions, the company plans to involuntarily downsize 22,000 non-AT&T employees who presently work for other companies.

I have to go to work for another 6 hours tomorrow. I'm finally starting to do some cool stuff though, so it won't be as bad as yesterday. Yesterday I spent all day trying to install a piece of shit modem under Windows 95, 98, and ME. That really pissed me off.

Also yesterday, I returned the power supply to Fry's. Yeah, I went down there, slammed the power supply on the counter, grabbed the clerk by his cheap button-down shirt, and once he saw how much of a badass I am, he gave me back my money. Actually, I just gently put the power supply on the counter and asked for a refund. I did have that look in my eye though. You know, that look I get sometimes?

Subvert Total Request Live by voting for Daler Mehndi's Tunak Tunak Tun video. We did the same thing for our dorm's yearbook last year. We got everyone on our floor to vote for Tunak Tunak Tun for "Most popular song", and I think it won cause everyone else in the dorm was voting for their own thing, so no song got more than, like, 3 votes. Heh heh heh. And you have to admit, the song grows on you. The video kicks ass too.

Mass customization is rising in popularity, as it allows people to customize, to a certain degree, products for the masses. I don't know about the Dell example though. Customizable computers have been available for years now.

Motorist Booked for Doing 773 KPH. The story's funny, but check out the guy's name: New Ching Shit. Ha ha ha! That's the greatest name I've ever heard.

I'm debating whether I should go to a screening of Made tomorrow in Westwood. I really don't want to drive in traffic on the 405. But on the other hand, Jon Favreau's gonna be there! That's so money. I should ask him to sign my Swingers poster. Then again, Vince Vaughn's on the poster. Jon Favreau will probably kick my ass for that.

Well, I barely found 5 more scientists for my paper, for a total of 10. Fuck it, I'm just gonna turn it in like this. Right after class tomorrow morning I have to work from 10 till 5. Damn, a whole day gone. Is this what it's gonna be like when I get a full time job?

I have astronomy homework due tomorrow where I have to find "20 scientists who have contributed to 20th century space physics." I found 5 scientists fairly easily, and now I'm having a really difficult time finding 15 more. I've looked all over the internet and I can't find anything. Stupid internet.

I wish I had a BB gun like this when I was a kid. I could've killed lots more bir-uh, soda cans.

Gamespot's High Tech Games is 10 games coming out this year that use new technology to create a better gaming experience. We've already seen the benefits of Black & White's complex creature AI. Now I'm really looking forward to Dungeon Siege, Max Payne, Halo, and Freelancer.

Here are some impressive sample pictures from Kodak's 6 megapixel DCS 760 camera. Cute girl, cuter asparagus.

Seems like I haven't posted in a long time. Here's what happened: Friday I was at work all day. When I got home my computer wouldn't start. Finally, after futzing around, I figured out that I had to buy a new power supply. I got one at Fry's, but then I discovered the new one was broken too. I got a working power supply, but then I discovered my socket-to-slot converter card was broken too. Anyway, I finally got my computer working again last night.
