| Teehee! I love my sister!
She just got me a new ipod nano
So i took it out today after my midterm (I'm quite proud of myself for resisting until after I'd finished studying) and look at how big it was.
Here's a picture
I stared it for a while and then went across the room to get my headphones. And then I realized this
-_- My headphones are too big. Sennheiser needs to make studio phone-nanos or something..

| Hello All!
So, I've had many things to say but the not the will to write them down, but now I do because I'm sick and have nothing better to do.
Number One: I was in the bathroom at work, and I get out of the stall after doing my business, and this guy walks, sets his mug down on the counter, goes to a urinal, then picks up his mug and walks out.. What did he miss? Washing his hands. Yep, grown man, gotta be at least thirty something. Didn't wash his hands. Blew my mind.
Number Two: I bought my accord from my cousin Kevin, and my family just bought a Red Jetta from Kevin's sister, Kirsten, for my sister. So, new car in the family. My mom looked at in the sun and she goes "You know, that actually is a very good shade of red" (btw, my mom's first car was a VW, 4 speed manual. Classy, no?). In addition to that, my parents went to a convention with the Sienna Minivan we have, came back, and now it's in the repair shop. One inset/broken lock (passenger door won't lock), one broken latch on the back door (trunk won't open), and one cracked windshield. Fun times
Number Three: My network port got busted on my asus motherboard. Had to order a NIC from newegg. Mom's computer has a fan that gets stuck now, which makes sense, since she never turns that thing off. That fan may have been running for like 5 years straight. Also, dual monitors are great for photoshopping HUGE files. And so is having 3 gigs of memory. ^_^.
Number Four: I just got Battlefield 2 + special forces from EA games. It's a fun game. A good portion of gamers criticize the game's balance for having vehicles that are just too strong. Meh, they're only partly right. I mean, infantry units were never intended to go 1v1 with a tank, who are they kidding. Anyways, I've gotten some of the weapon unlocks and have been practicing my sniping. This guy seriously respawned like 6+ times at the same flag and kept trying to climb a nearby building. So, I kept shooting him down as he climbed up. Did he not learn? My only worry was that I'd run out of ammo for killing the same guy... (oh, and I did, but didn't matter, a helicopter came and killed me)
Number Five: Purchased a new amplifier, a small 25 watt Fender with a couple amp-types and effects. Small little guy has a decent punch; but it's not the easiest thing to use. The dials don't give any physical feedback to indicate which settting your own, and the amp-types have different inherent gain levels, so fast switching (such as in the middle of the song) is clearly out of the question. But, i still like it, and if I can't stand it in a couple weeks I'll just return it.
Hope everyone is having a good summer. You berkeley peeps, you catch me during welcome week.
Oh!! Wait, one more thing
I have a new political bill. Now, in the US, we're a democracy. Now whether or not you agree that democracy works, I propose a new bill where if you did not register and did not vote. You will not be allowed to vote for the next election (or whatever). That way, since you decided not to wield your power, it's given to the people who do. See how many people will run to the polls for the next election if this were on the table... ^_^

| Alright, so when I bought my laptop, i bought it from a smaller company called "ChemUsa" -> www.chemusa.com . Now, I'm perusing throught their newer models (i got mine two years ago, i've been very pleased with it) and I find this text: "Storage· 2.5-inch 9.5mm S-ATA HDD with capacities of 40/60/80/100/120 GB and 5400/7200 RPM (option)" and the next line under storage is "· Eaily removable, no more than 2 screws".
...
...
easily removable, NO MORE THAN 2 SCREWS! So my question is, there's only two choices. 1... or... 2... Couldn't you just look at the bottom of the machine? I mean, heck! Pick a number!
But i love my chembook!! Everyone should buy from them. The only problem i'vd had is... well i reformatted my drive and lost everything, but that was my fault. But they fixed it for me!! | | |
| So I'm reading the the June 9th 2006 of "The Week" and there's a section called 'The Last Word: Unconvincing Apologies". Some of them are pretty funny. Like this one. "That was a very intemperate remark made in the heat of the day yesterday in a very misguided attempt to defend my boss. I'm very sorry for it and I apologize to Congress for it. It in no way reflects my feelings or opinions of Congress." An apology quoted from Rep. Daniel Crane's press secretary, william Mencarow, apologizing for telling reporters, "If they required the resignation of all congressmen who have slept with young ladies, you wouldn't have a Congress" (July 15 1983).
Skipping down across the page, there are two pertaining to Christianity.
"I really, from the very bottom of my heart, want to apologize for statements I made about Christianity. I did it mainly out of frustration. At one time or another, I've offended almost every group. I'm sure I'll be apologizing agian. " - CNN founder Ted Turner, apologizing for repeatedly calling Christianity "a religion for losers". (June 13 1990)
[and apologize again, he does!]
"I apologize to all Christians for my comments about Catholics wearing ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday. I do not believe in any form or prejudice or discrimination, especially religious intolerance. .. Please accept my apology for any pain mythoughtless comment have caused Catholics and all Christians." - CNN founder Ted Turner, apologizing for referring to those network employees who showed up to work with smudged foreheads as "Jesus Freaks".
Okay, so I'm glad someone got [forced] him to apologize. But I really don't understand why it was necessary. Christianity is for losers (although, christians aren't losers), and we're supposed to be Jesus Freaks (DC Talk anyone?). Why would we be offended when this one person calls us what we are and what we're supposed to be? Sure, he wasn't eloquent, but he's pretty darn accurate. I think this further supports the hypothesis that [many] "Christians" in the US are christians only by name, and do not understand the true extent of the persecuation they should expect, in light that they demand apologies such as the ones above.
And yes, that's probably a broader statement than I should really make. If you ask nicely, I'll apologize... =P.
On a lighter note, SATA harddrives are the poocaca!
I like pizza!
Who's still in berkeley?
