  • where's my rainbow? where's my halo? there's my halo! 2002-04-15 07:19:45 I had a whole long journal entry written out, but then I decided to delete it all. Well, except for the following:

    Indisputable proof that Phade is indeed my bitch (See the 4-13 entry for reference: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/journal_show.php?mid=1):

  • my yearbook keeps me informed...my yearbook keeps me in line...it's an obituary... 2002-04-12 11:16:06 Ah yes, middle school memories. Oh, how I loved being the only Asian (literally) in a school of nearly 3000. And a nerdy one, at that...thick glasses, bowl haircut, K-Mart clothes because my family couldn't afford Girbaud and Guess. Oh, how I loved being in the middle of a serious debate with a person and then having them "win" the argument by declaring, "You're such a chink," and walking off laughing with their friends.
    So I sat in corners by myself and read. A LOT. And listened to Guns N' Roses.

    Then again, I'm also guilty of having been on the other end of the whole teasing thing. Maybe it was because I was young, or maybe it's because I'm a vindictive bastard, but it's like as soon as I had any sort of power over anyone, I grasped and wielded it ruthlessly to compensate for the shit I went through, or something. This was 6th grade, and I still remember the name of the guy I tormented. And only because he was even more teased than I was.

    Anyone remember tight-folding (or pinch-folding) pants? This was about 10 or 11 years ago. I hated it. Hated it, hated it, hated it, thought it was the stupidest thing ever. But I still did it.
     
  • spray-on clothes and diamond jaws...wrinkles smoothed by nanoclaws... 2002-04-12 09:05:24 Holy shite. I just noticed that my profile views have broken 10000. What exactly is it people are looking at??? 
  • get me out of this air-conditioned nightmare...rots your brain just like a catchy tune... 2002-04-12 08:32:46 ::boss walks in while I'm surfing the web. I quickly close the window::
    Me: Hey, <boss>!
    Boss: Morning, Hsien. Can I see you in my office for a minute? (First time this has EVER happened with this current boss)
    Me Thinking: what? what? what? why? oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck what did i do? have i been surfing the web too much? oh fucking hell, i have! i've downloaded a few amvs here at work too, oh why the fuck did i do that? oh fuck fuck fuckity fuck!
    Me: Oh, sure.
    ::boss doesn't say a word on the way back to his office::
    Boss: Have a seat. ::shuts door:: (which he never does!)
    Me Thinking: ohhhh fuck
    ::boss sits down. he doesn't say anything for a few moments, and then starts absently fumbling through an ominous stack of papers covered with ugly red marks as he speaks::
    Me Thinking: gaahhhhhhhhhhhh.....
    Boss: blah blah blah blah I want you to stay on this team for the long haul.
    Me: ::blinks in confusion, then tells boss I'll think about it and thanks him lamely::

    So that was my morning. I've now got about a week to decide whether I want to rotate through a few more assignments, or whether I want to "go permanent" with my current assignment (and get a modest raise). Going permanent would mean that I'm locked into this current job for the next 2 years or so. That causes all sorts of logistical problems with being near Leandra...but on the other hand, it's not like I'm going to have a job for long if I keep on floating around everywhere, not committing to anything.

    In other news, Mulholland Drive is the worst DVD I've ever encountered. The movie itself is fine, but the actual DVD features are pathetic. To compare: I have a DVD of Commando sitting on my shelf, and it has better features than Mulholland Drive. I'm not one of those DVD extras freaks who buys every double-disc special edition that comes out and tries to find all the easter eggs. I like the simple DVD pleasures, like....CHAPTER SELECT! There's no Chapter Select menu, so during the movie I tried skipping to the next chapter to see what would happen...it went back to the freaking menu! So for $23, the DVD contains:
    1. A trailer
    2. Subtitle select
    3. A few 2-page cast bios and filmographies
    4. The movie, packed all into one enormous chapter

    Barest DVD I've ever seen. I never even thought of chapter select as a feature, but it sure is obnoxious when it's not there. Maybe chapter select itself is an easter egg, and it's someone's idea of a joke. That's just be...not funny :P
    There's an insert with David Lynch's 10 clues to unlocking the mysteries in the movie. It's not so much a list of clues, though...remember those annoying teachers who always answered a question with a question? That's what it's like. It's a neat inclusion, but I bet most people who view it as a roadmap are going to be sorely disappointed.


    Damn cafeteria...they should know better than to offer so much rich, fatty, unhealthy food to a building full of engineers and computer nerds. In my ever-transient quest to stay healthy and eat right, I got a sandwich with tomatoes in it. One bite later I remembered the two reasons that I hate tomatoes. The first reason is that I hate tomatoes. The second reason is that there are 5 or 6 other ingredients in the sandwich, and even though there is just a *little* tomato in there, it tastes like I'm eating a tomato sandwich. My random rant for the day.

    Final preliminary practice review in an hour for the real preliminary review on Tuesday. And you think Scott Adams is just cracking jokes.
     
  • she made me touch the machine...new murderer... 2002-04-10 09:26:00 Quick lunch break. Devouring a small bowl of soup for lunch. So much work to be done. Feel like HELLLL today.

    Feiticiera: I realize that you're most likely named after a song, but do you also know that you're named after a sultry Brazilian game show host? ^_^
