Well. Eri is gone. It’s quite different around here now. I unlock the door and walk into my messy messy living room and the place is somber and somewhat gloomy. At the airport this morning, many of the Rits people were crying like crazy. Me and Eri weren’t really that sad throughout the thing until the departing at the gate. She cried a bit. And some sand went into my eyes… twice. And so for the next few months looks like I’m back on the grind alone. It’s not too long, she’s back soon.
4 out of 5 exams are done! Yay for me. Boo for my marks. I didn’t study very much. I didn’t give a crap about it. Fail, pass, whatever. One more 2 days from now and then it’s… doing nothing for awhile. Work, quit smoking, work, that’s it.
I really don’t feel like updating. I’m running on 4-5 hours of sleep per day since last Thursday. I miss my baby. Away with you.

Triumphantly returning to updating after a week long absence, here’s me! After being addicted to that hattbaby video for a couple of days (it attracts me to watch it over and over again, noticing the intricate details and meanings ever time), I realized I needed to start studying. So I downloaded a few old nes roms and started playing – dragon warrior 1, 2, etc. I read a few chapters here and there and that’s about all I did.
I just didn’t want to do anything nor study.
I still don’t want to update because I have really nothing to say, except my honey leaves one week today which is sad. I’m already missing her even when she’s still here. Weird. Jerry? In a relationship? In a REAL relationship??? Wtf?
So I don’t think I’m gonna update for a little while – well maybe.
But here are some funny things to see to kill time between my updates:
:: Boo! And the 100 Other Dumbest Moments in e-Business History
:: Israeli Internet geek adopts name of his Web site
:: The Official Dilbert Webpage
sorry, it’s all I’ve got at the moment. Bye.

The 24 spy plane pilots have been returned. Thank god. Two superpowers standing off over one of them spying over the other. Jesus. As if spying is a good thing… and to keep 24 of your own men at the ‘enemy’s place just because you’re too vain and proud to say you’re sorry for spying, for causing the death of a pilot (whose body was never found… how convenient eh?). Then there’s the other side. A blatant attempt to win face by making the world’s most powerful nation come forward and apologize. That’s just asking for trouble. Politics. If it were up to me, I’d be the single ruler of the world and do my best to be a just, righteous ruler. But that’s my p.o.v.
I haven’t updated because I didn’t want to. Been working these few days. Sun – all morning – afternoon, Mon/Tues at 7:00am until mid-afternoon, today just the afternoon. Now time for some studying.
I’d like to say hello to Hiro!!! He told me he visited my webpage for the first time. You crazy crazy guy.
I haven’t studied much. I just don’t feel the pressure yet. Which means when I do, I’ll be screwed big time since my exams are clustered together. But I think even if I study every day from today I still won’t finish everything. Ack.
I finished Battlezone II over the weekend. God that’s a good game. I don’t know how good it would be for multiplaying (I don’t think it’s good at all), but for single player, wow it’s good.
I’m addicted to that Hatten song. I have no idea why. It’s stupid. It’s very stupid. But I’m catching myself humming the tune a lot. Eri’s being driven to the edge of sanity because sometimes I just start singing the hatt-baby part to annoy her. Haha.
If you’ve ever wanted to know if you’re psychic or not, or you know and want to prove it to someone, here are some scientific tests. I now know that I’m nowhere near psychic. I wish I were though. Visit the Boundary Institute’s Online Tests

Where to begin… ok, let’s start with yesterday. I had my first visit to Scrape Records, where Dennis works. Boy he seems to have too much fun there. Working somewhere where you’re passionate about is awesome. It was the first time I saw Dennis since… uh… probably the beginning of the year so it was awesome. Had an awesome poutine of course. Hope you enjoy the reading you’ll do on the bus. Heh heh.
Yesterday, Eri pulled an all nighter doing some essay or something. I went to sleep at 2am and when I woke up at 6:30, I saw the lights still on and thought, “holy shit, she’s still working?”. Poor baby.
And yesterday while driving, I made a solemn vow that on Saturday I WOULD STUDY. I then said if I didn’t, I hope I die. True to my word, I studied for about an hour – reading a chapter out of a thousand. At least I won’t die. I’m way too drained to keep studying. Blach!
This should be in the Spotlight, but I really want you guys to see that N-Sync video so I’ll keep that one up for a little bit more. But here’s 2 things you should see (after the N-Sync video).
First is the trailer for Quake: The Movie (warning: 22mb). It’s fucking amazing. The time spent on this thing must be horrendous, but the end product will blow all minds away – even non-quakers (pshh… UT’ers).
Then is some little Easter thing (thanks Benny for sending it). Amusing. Cute. You know the stuff.

That’s it! No more classes as of today! that was what the counter was: days of classes left. We’ve had guesses as to what that counter was for – days until my one year anniversary… well, that was the only guess actually. But it’s over!
Arts County Fair was on today except it was pouring like crazy. I don’t think as many people as usual went. I didn’t. I was enjoying my afternoon off doing nothing.
The stupid Transit strike is making my drives a little bit longer than usual, like 5 or 10 minutes. That I can stand, but the one thing that really drives me nuts is that with more cars, comes more idiot drivers. I had one guy run a red at a 4-way stop today – almost ramming me broadsided. I got pretty pissed off because he pretty much ruined my afternoon ride home. So I drove after him, honking and middle fingers up. The guy braked a little and stared at me through his mirror. I kept my finger up like a flag. Then after there were two lanes, I drove beside him, still flagging my middle finger. Then I cut him off.
Rash and impulsive I know, but I was really pissed. I wanted to go after him some more but rational thinking finally set in. I had better things to do than to go after old fat guys driving pre-90′s compacts sporting some sort of Internet company logo on the side. Well, it would have been fun following him and scaring him or something, but … Battlezone II awaited!!!
I’m about halfway through the game now, having not touched it in a week. A big twist – the general that commands you is behind some sort of secret plan and now you’ve just joined the enemy sides. Basically you learn how to use the enemy units now which are way cooler than the earth ones.
It’s time I get a new processor. My celery just isn’t cutting it. I hear p4′s aren’t as good as the new durons (or was it athlon or peon or hardon or something). $$$ is needed. Dammit.
I’m tired. Seeya.

On sunday, I got a nice brunch half-paid by the accounting club. The locale was at cafe pacifico at pan pacific hotel. It was not bad. Tonnes of seafood. It wasn’t as great as I thought it should be. But it was half paid so that’s good.
Then after brunch, some of us had to go to another’s place and there we spend the whole day and night working on an accounting presentation due the next day. It wasn’t fun. It took much too long. When I got home, I had to do a case for another class also due the next day. I didn’t sleep much that night.
But now that those 2 are done, I only have 1 more case due for my logistics class. I’ve finished my part so that means I am done. Yippie.
The strike is on, you all know. They’re talking again so hopefully it will be resolved oon. It actually affects me too. If the strike is still on next week, then I probably won’t be working much until it’s over because a lot of activities, the students need to bus to wherever it is.
I found out what the secret work thing was (had to book off a few days in May). It’s gonna be a retreat at a camp near Lake Somethingsomething in Maple Ridge. I hear it’s gonna be all out – hiring conflict resolution people and such and such. I’m gonna bring a lot of beer and cigarettes. It’s gonna be a blast. I just hope the new people they hire will be as fun as the current ones.
School is over soon! Summer is here soon! Work is much more fun in the summer.
Till the next update.

Really Good Video
The new N-Sync single is out. Normally I wouldn’t really care about their songs, but this one is just so fucking good. Seriously, I didn’t expect so much talent from a boyband. Go see the video now. It’s good. And the video is so cool too. The chick in the video is so hot.
Psycho Ex-girlfriend
This must be one of the funnier/more demented websites I’ve seen this while. It’s so funny. What is it?
Imagine a guy. Imagine a guy breaking up with his older girlfriend. Imagine the girlfriend calling constantly, leaving message after message of harassing, verbal assaults and such. Imagine the guy getting pissed off and putting all those messages in small mp3 format and putting them up online.
Why is it that when a girl is harassed by an ex-boyfriend, it’s scary and sick, but when a guy is harassed by an ex-girlfriend, it’s funny and sick?
