Curses!

So I was on my way to class this morning and I was thinking about something and I thought to myself, "I have to blog about this!" but then class started. 4 hours later after class and a midterm, I remembered there was something I wanted to write about but I couldn't remember what it was. Sad day.

Actually, not so sad. I'm very proud of myself today. Last night, I decided I'm going to start getting ready for bed at 9:30 and read from 10 to 11 and go to sleep. I also decided I'm going to start waking up at 7:30 and exercise for 30 minutes every morning, and I did, but that's not why I'm so proud of myself. Last night, when I set my alarm on my phone, I forgot to put AM and left it on PM so the alarm didn't go off. BUT! I woke up at 7:30 anyways and it was fantastic! I had to force myself to get out of bed a bit but I exercised and had a real breakfast while watching the news. It was awesome.

Fart, Brain

The last two posts were brain farts. I don't know what I was thinking but I've snapped out of it. I've been really thinking things over and I've decided I shouldn't care about how people see me, which is something I've been having trouble with. I'm going to start being myself and, if you don't like me, tough cookies.

So, anyways, I've been reading a bunch of blogs nominated for the Weblog Awards and, let me tell you, I have never had so much fun online in my life. My favorite is dooce whom I've been reading for a couple years now, and I'll definitely be voting for her. Some new blogs I've come across are 101 Cookbooks and Freshly Squeezed! and I'm still looking at the nominees.

Reading all these blogs have made me wanting a nice blog of my own. A blog of my own design, not of Blogger's templates. Sadly, though, I'm not very good at html coding or web design. Maybe, I should go to Barnes & Noble to buy a Web Design for Dummies book or something. Speaking of Barnes & Noble and books, I need to start reading more. I have three books right now, two of which I've started, that I should get through before getting more books. I just don't seem to have time to read these days. With my studies, work, and procrastination (haha which actually takes up more time that the other two combined), there's hardly any time left in the day!

I'm going back to reading blogs instead of studying!

Starting The Incredibles at midnight the night before school is not a good idea.

On The Incredibles, Bob said that people keep coming up new ways to celebrate mediocrity. How sad is it that it's true?

I think I'd better start studying more seriously. I keep trying to think of ways to study later.

It's funny that people just exude their personalities. When someone enters a room, depending on which person it is, the atmosphere just changes. Some people share their optimism and others just exude their negative energy.

So, I haven't been blogging lately... I've been asking myself what the point of the this blog is and I haven't come up with a convincing answer yet. So, here's what I'm thinking now: From now on, I'm just going to post my random thoughts and not what happened that day.

Office Space is a great movie. It's kind of like the solution to my life. Not in the steal money from a corporation way. In the "screw you!" kind of way.

Why do people sing the Happy Birthday song like they're at a funeral, all slow and stuff. We need to up the tempo and pitch a bit.

California is amazing. Being cold sucks. A lot. It's so annoying having to keep on taking layers on and off every time you enter or leave a building. If you're wearing certain jackets, when you pull them off, static builds up, making you a danger to yourself and others.

Note to self:

If not within range of fists or feet, cuss out.

Let's all go green

*Gosh dang it, it's doing it again. The thing where the lines don't show up between the paragraphs.*

It didn't snow today, thank goodness, but it was still cold. Today, I went to my EC EN 493R class for the first time. It's a new student seminar for the electrical and computer engineering program. We were talking about big developments in the past decades. In the 70's, the big thing was getting someone on the moon. In the 80's, it was the development of the computer, in the 90's it was the internet. This decade, the big thing are portable devices like cell phones and mp3 players.

Then, the question of what the next big thing might be came up. Nearly everyone suggested that robotics and integration would be it, integration meaning less work for us and more automated functions. Surprisingly, no one mentioned clean energy. Apparently, no one in my class really listened to Al Gore.

In my opinion, the next wave is going to be all about green energy. If I remember correctly, Honda has already come out with a hydrogen car. As these kinds of cars get cheaper, people are going to choose them over the cars we have now, and there are government incentives like the all-access thing for hybrids. I think it's just a smart business move to start going green and our country is big on business. Let's all start investing in green research.

Plus, people like to believe they're doing something that matters so if they are given a choice where the green alternative doesn't cost much more, guess which one they'll choose? For example, my mom's dry cleaning business has gone completely green and gets more business than any other dry cleaners despite the fact that my mom's place is more expensive.

I'm getting tired. I'm not very happy with my writing for this post but I'm tired and half my brain is trying to watch Law & Order.

No lyrics tonight. Good night.

Like Spam

That right there is refried beans straight from the can. We used it to make bean and cheese burritos for dinner tonight. Turned out pretty good, actually.

Today, Tyler, Stopher, and I spent 3 hours spending grocery shopping, two at Costco and one at Macey's. We bought enough food for breakfast that should last us at least half a semester. We wrapped half the muffins in aluminum foil and froze them as well as the bagels and loaves of bread.

Not much happened so short post today.

And we feel like rain, when the words all sound the same, in the lifeless corners of this empty frame.

Though we feel let down by the same old autumn breathing, winter's curse is just around the bend.

With our hands all tied to the blades of their design, we are armed and ready to commit this crime.
