earlier today i got stuck on a computer that was teasing me. i would click on something, and it would work for aobut 2 seconds, and then the computer would slow down and would take a couple minutes to finish the process. i planned on posting, but by the time i was done with my homework, i had to go to class. i wondered if anyone would notice that i had just hucked the fucker out the window, and walked to a different computer.

happy halloween, by the way. we were at the store a couple days ago, and my roommates and i decided that instead of grocery shopping for candy to give to kids today, we would only spend money on stuff we wanted to eat. so tonight, we plan on using the “lights out” method and closing the gate in front of our house. if that doesn’t work, i’ll throw candy corns at the kids from my window and yell at them to go the hell home. i love halloween.

although halloween hasn’t officially come and gone, we did have a party saturday night that was pretty successful. i was a fairy (funny). we put on cheesy (and disgusting) movies on the tv, and you’d know when something really bad was going to happen, because jason (who owned the movies), would stand up and walk out of the room (apparently fearing that someone would make the connection that the owner of these said films was him). i on the other hand, knew what was going on. re-animator was one of the films.

started reading kenzaburo oe’s a personal matter again, and also started reading a little more about borges and Funes, the Memorius and c.s. peirce’s work on prescinding. fascinating stuff, really. i’d tell you more about it, but i have to go to class. maybe later.

nov. 11th, and the weblog will be 1 year old. 1 year is a long time for anything.

apparently, an electric space heater takes as much power as 40 flourescent lamps.

i had my test today, which went okay, aside from me cracking jokes in japanese that my teacher didn’t think were very funny. in fact, they aren’t especially in english. the whole point is that they’re in japanese. i think they’re only funny to those that are learning, because it’s fun to do that when you’re learning a language. otherwise, it’s equivalent to someone that doesn’t know english very well cracking a dumb joke in english, and you not laughing, because it’s not funny, it’s just stupid. in conclusion, my joke was not funny, but stupid. very very stupid (stupid = baka in japanese).

oh, but better yet: dexter, didi, and mandark.

thanks everyone (both of you) for your suggestions. i will put them in a random lottery, and pick the winner out of a hat. just kidding. i don’t know if i have the resources (or energy) to do some ot he costumes, although the suggestions are quite good. i have a lot of school work that i’ve put off for this week, including an oral test (very funny) for japanese that i have tomorrow, but haven’t started practicing for yet. we have to still write a script, and my partner didn’t show up to class today (i didn’t show up to lecture yesterday, but that’s beside the point). i also have quite a few other things to do, and yesterday i won tickets from kexp to go to don byron playing at the earshot jazz festival on friday.

my favorite suggestion thus far: the powerpuff girls.

oh yeah - happy birthday, al.

meant to update much earlier, but got sidetracked looking at some graduate schools. i registered for graduation, and if all goes well, i should be done in june with two degrees under my belt - one in comparative literature and one in cinema studies. i came upon a slew of posts that i had done a few months ago and wished i only had the time and energy to think of stuff as entertaining as i thought it was back then. unfortunately, the only thing i could think of to post was an unending trail of complaints about having nothing to post about.

in any case, i still believe that writing anything is better than writing nothing just because you have nothing to write about. i’m not sure if you out there are all better off because of it, in fact, i sincerely doubt it. if anything else, this page has grown into a forum for me to complain about everything, mostly about my peers and drivers, though. halloween is soon, how about that? anyone have any good ideas for a costume? please help! my roommates and i shallowly entertained the idea of being the a-team, although if we so chose to, we would probably have to endure an unending stream of the question, “what are you?”

Tim rocks, too. but you all already knew that.

(i was really only invited to this club so i could post updates about our trip when Tim didn’t want to. i hope i don’t get in trouble. maybe you should all send emails saying how content you are knowing that a girl is being included in the posting power. but maybe only boys read this and you don’t want to be troubled by girls anymore than you undoubtedly already are. (and i mean that in only the most understanding way.) in that case, take solace in the fact that i really only wanted to say that Tim rocks. seriously, have you seen his rock jumps?)

by the way, my girlfriend rocks.
