Could you figure out this Japanese Toilet Interface?

Well, this is just amusing... Car vs. Telephone Wires

Slept all day today... Didn't get any work done.... Talked to Rah on MSN for HOURS! It was awesome. :) Webcam and all. :) Gotta buckle down and do that paper tomorrow. I am watching "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" It is wonderful. :) I'll go home and sleep when it's over.

I don't know if I want to go to sleep... I wouldn't wake up until much later... Not like I have plans this weekend... Other than two homework assignments, a paper outline, work for John and preparation for the meeting on Monday. One of the homework assignments is almost done... The other I have not received the book for.... Have to borrow someone's on Monday. So really all I should worry about is the the paper abstract and work for John. I guess I am less worried about sleeping and missing the day now.... I was going to stay up for the PO to open, but I just looked it up and the UAF branch isn't open on Saturday. I can at least go check the box... I think... I assume Signer's hall is open. I think I will go check it out then go to my room and crash for a bit... But "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" is on...

I am awake and it is 7am. I am kind of watching Duckman... Some people are sleeping... Some are watching... I feel so... blank...

In other news, I hate being away from Rah. It sucks.

Today I was in a very good mood. Sarah and I had a great conversation on the phone last night and I was still high on that today. Then I went and talked to Dr. Roth (the C.S. department head) and got it all set up to graduate this semester with my Master's Degree in Computer Science. Talked to Sarah about the future. It made me very happy. :) Then I made very good dinner with the girls. Then I was going to call Rah back and Kelsey was crying on the stairs. I went down and talked to her, and apparently she had broken up with her boyfriend (of almost two years). She was pretty broken up and I felt so bad. I talked to her about it and she said that he is totally in love with her but she isn't sure. She is afraid of being alone and about hurting him, but she was not happy in the relationship. I talked for a while and about my ex and how I never thought I'd fall in love again. And then how I met Rah and how I really feel like I have found someone I could be with for the rest of my life. Kelsey admitted that she wants something like that and it isn't worth it to stay with what she is doing now just because it's better than nothing. Soooo... She felt much better about breaking up with him after that. But unfortunately it was too late to talk to Rah. I feel really bad now because I missed Rah. I REALLY wanted to talk to her tonight. God I miss her so much. It's really nice to have Megan and Amy here because they are so accepting and happy and silly and fun. They are always hugging on each other and it makes me miss Rah. I get all daydreamy and thinking of Rah whenever I see them hugging.

Stuff Happens

an original screenplay concept

by Chris

Black comedy: An antisocial loner teams up with a kind hearted prostitute to find the true meaning of love. In the process they deflower a gay interior decorator. By the end of the movie they have sex with 42 cars and end up winning the admiration of their universe, living happily ever after.Think Ernest Goes to Camp meets Memento.

From Plot-O-Matic

This class is screwing with my head. One minute we are reviewing basic trigonometry, and the next minute we are talking about realtime ray-tracing.

WEll, it's Monday and I am back in class. This will be a bit of programming. Brian was out sick this morning so hopefully he'll be better by Wednesday. We really need to get going on the web service description set. Oh, and apparently I will have two people working under me. Not only am I working for NASA, but now I have two subordinates! Don't I feel famous. I am now working on the homework for this class during the class. I'll be more productive if I stop typing here, so I will.

Ok, this is SO incredibly nerdy I can hardly stand it. A Search Engine Belt Buckle

Well, I'm off to racquetball with the girls, Amy and Megan.

Sometimes I hate being an insomniac. Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but sometimes I just want to sleep.
So the world is officially coming to an end.

I think it's silly when people are trying to do something on a computer and then they say they hate computers when it doesn't go smoothly. What would the world be today without computers? Chat and instant messaging, blogs and email. Do you really remember how you got along without them? The age of computers is now. If you do not embrace them, you will be left behind in the new age.

I am totally in love with Sarah. It feels like it did when I fell in love with Carrie back in High School but this time I know it is not just puppy love. I thought I was too jaded to feel love like this. I thought I loved Laci. I thought I loved Jenn. But this is totally different. It scares me because she has such a strong hold on me.

In CS 681 (Computer Graphics). It is interesting. It looks like it will be a lot of work, but it will be fun. Taught by a brand new professor. I think I'll be dropping the Automata class. It will be absolutely horrid. Mainly because it is taught by Bique. Ugh. He seems constantly on edge. Like he's going to have an aneurysm or just suddenly explode.

The Tin Wiskers are coming! http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000363027888/ Well, Ok, maybe they won't cause the collapse of the modern world, but I love the quote "So, slow death from lead poisoning, or the gradual collapse of the global communications infrastructure. Isn’t it fun when technology gives us such great options?" I am in my first class of the semester today. w00t!

I saw my ex today... wasn't too bad. I don't love her anymore, I know that now for sure. I want my TV back. And my $800. Well, it's closer to $1000 actually. Damn. But enough about things that annoy me. I want to build a new computer. And I want to get a new DDR pad. The one I have is worn out. The down button sticks sometimes. It's usually only for a half of a second or so, but it's enough to make it unplayable at the higher difficulties. Kerrie owes me $150, so I'll just get her to buy me a new pad. Or a computer component...

Finally made it onto campus. Moved into the dorm (Wickersham). It's nice enough. My roommate doesn't speak much English. He's a masters student in statistics. The room is nice. It's set up with a central room that is connected to another double as well. The central room has a sink and a toilet. Gotta get a bunch of stuff done... Talk to Nance, get books, pay fees...

Brad, Roni and I stayed up all night playing Risk: LoTR Edition and Hilarium. And talking and playing with Brad's Gameboy DS. Oh, and coffee. We drank coffee. We stayed up because we were going to go in early and get into the dorms when they opened at 8am, just because. So 8am rolls around and guess what: Roni's car won't start. Currently waiting for someone to save us. I wish Rah was online. I miss her a lot. I was wishing she was here all evening.

I am staying with Roni at her place until I move into the dorms. This is terribly exciting because Brad is staying here too.

In Fairbanks

So I came back from Australia, spent the holidays with family, went to Las Vegas, fell in love and am now back in Fairbanks, going back to school to finish my Master's degree in Computer Science.
