Happy Halloween!!!
This year, I'm dressing up as an Asian tourist visiting MIT. Wuhoo. It's so much fun. Being at MIT. Pictures of the big dome. Lobby 7!!!
But the best costume was one year, I wasn't planning on going trick or treating, but at the last minute, my brother wanted to go. He had a costume he wore to school that day, but I didn't have anything. So I just wore a hoodie and sunglasses and told everyone I was the Unibomber. It was sketchy (oh god MIT lingo) because Ted Kaczinski hadn't been caught yet.

Serious. Lost my day planner. I can't remember where I've been in the past few days because of the aforementioned condition and can't really look it up cause I don't have my planner. Stupid circularity.
It's a generic black planner with the MIT seal printed on it. Arg, everyone has those though.

Having an identity crisis.
Dazed and confused. I don't feel like I even know myself anymore. If I can't even perceive myself, how can anyone else do it. I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I just exist through every day. No future, no present, no past. Actions carrying no meaning. All sure things become uncertain. Why am I here? What is my purpose? I don't know anything. I'm lost. It's yet another day. How much further do I have to go? Will I ever get to see the ending to my story? I fell off the path. I lost my way. My vision is blurred. My body is spent. When will it end? I am wrong. I am right. I am neither. I'm stuck in limbo. Where am I? Dreamland or reality. Or Hell. I create my own. I am my own nemesis.
I don't like this place at all
Makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day

SD is on fire!!!
Well, I called my parents yesterday and they said everything was fine. Someone told me that the fire was near Poway though, which is near RB, which is where our old home. I guess I'm going to call again tonight to check up.
In other news, being the awesome webmaster that I am, I made this cool CSC Assassins webpage.

1 hour 10 min phone call with parents. Why?! At least I know my new cell phone has lots of battery life.
Night Market was crazy. Over 1000 people showed up. Insane.

Clubbing baby seals.
CSC played East Campus in IM badminton. Not good for them; 15-0 15-0 in both doubles matches. 15-1 15-0 or something in the singles match. (We played doubles-doubles-singles because we each had 5 players).
Clubbing babby seals is from academic team jargon meaning playing teams far below your level. CSC should really be in A league instead of B. We had 2 MIT Badminton Club members playing the first game and 3 in the second game.
In other news, feels good to be appreciated. Red Cross decided to send me a card and a certificate and some brochures to thank me for my blood donation. Too bad they thought it was my first time. Those fools, it's like my other 3-4 times didn't count. They even gave me a new card and donor ID. Stupid.

I hate how M. Bison is made to be so powerful in the Street Fighter movies: animated and live action.
I remember kicking his ass easily on in the game. Seriously. I only used one move the whole match too, not even a special move: Chun Li's crouching hard kick. So simple, over and over. I think I was perfect or near perfect in most of the matches too. Stupid Bison. Psyco-power my ass. I could probably light jab him to death.

I need a haircut. Using gel makes the top still look ok, but the sides are starting to puff out. It's annoying.
Finally got around to watching Leon: The Professional. It was good, but not as good as my expectations.
Fulltime Killer is much better. The user comment on IMDB is dismal only because the commenter is a moron who probably isn't Asian and obviously doesn't understand the movie or even simple little facts of daily life.
In other news, Ubisoft is make a Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon video game. Penny Arcade's Gabe created a comic short story for it.

If a hangover is when you body doesn't have enough water to do the Krebs Cycle, then I now know what it feels like.
Bacan and sausage pizza = lots of salt. Even though I drank at least a gallon of fluid last night before bed, I still woke up feeling crappy.
Didn't help at badminton today, but that was ok cause I wasn't playing any official matches. And all those lunge drills on Friday killed my leg, while my arm was still sore from the endless clearing drills.

Unbelievable.
I checked my email and discovered I got 140 messages in less than 8 hours. Then I discovered that 130 of them were "Microsoft Patch" spam/virus mails.
CSC, KSA, ACF, and AMSA email lists got hit really hard simultaneously. This email is so common and almost always formatted the same; why then is it not on spam blacklists that SpamAssassin uses?

Took the How MIT are you? quiz again.
Dropped from 77% to 73%. That is weird.
Took it again cause I checked my referral log on my counter again. A search for this quiz was one of the referrals. Strangely, the site of the actual quiz wasn't a result of the search. Messageapp/message app searches are popular as ever. Out of the media page, Scooter seems to be the most popular artist; I didn't know that many people even knew he exisited.

It's sort of strange watching the trailer to a movie after watching the movie itself. The trailer actually shows a few brief clips that weren't in Vol. 1. So that makes me even more eager to see Vol. 2.
To steal from another great assassin movie (probably the best ever), Fulltime Killer: "Trailers are the best a movie has to offer. Even a bad movie can have a good trailer."
Resident Evil has a sequel, Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I thought the first one was excellent. Very good adaptation of a video game to film as opposed to Tomb Raider. The sequel's trailer was very nice, but we all know that trailers mean nothing. Scary Movie 3 is another movie I'm anticipating. Apparently 4 is already scheduled as well.
Bad translations can kill a movie but Super Rape?

Boo, Yankees suck. Boston is better.
CSC Badminton beat Next House handedly. Good job Grace, Eric, and me.

Wah, my fish died.
I was changing it's water on Monday. So I put him in a little cup. Cleaned the tank and rocks with boiling water and then fill it water again. Then I got distracted with something and when I sent to get him to put him back into the clean tank. He had somehow jumped out of the cup into the sink.
He was out of water for at least 5 minutes. Since betta fish breath air, he looked like he was ok. Then at like 3AM this morning when I was about to go to sleep, he was floating sideways at the bottem of the tank. But was still moving. So I tried to get him to go to the top and breath some air but it didn't. Then I found that all the food I fed him this week wasn't eaten but rather just sank to the bottem and was hidden by the rocks.
Seemed like his tailfins weren't really functioning cause they looked weird. So I put him in shallow water so he could get to the top more easily to breath and went to sleep. And now he's dead.

That's right, we kick everyone's ass again.
MIT is ranked first in 6 of 12 engineering categories (cause MIT just doesn't care about some types of engineering). And we were obviously first in the overall rankings.
Number 2 in business isn't too bad either (along with first in 4 of 12 categories + third in another).
We were ranked 4th as a school overall but none of the other schools even come close in the two types of learning that US News and World Report deemed important enough to rank separately.

Kill Bill is insane. I thought the sword scene in Equilibrium was crazy, but this was like holy flipping shit.

I realized why so many videos weren't working for me and only giving me sound. Cause I didn't have Xvid installed. I'm stupid alright.
So, just installed it and watched Confidence. Very very very good. Caper movies, can't beat them. Keeps you guessing until the very last minute. That's the measure of how good a grifter movie is.
But I'm sad cause I deleted Jet Li's Hero/Ying Xiong and Daredevil, cause I thought they working right. Now they aren't downloading from Kazaa anymore.

Minidisks with magnesium casing. That's crazy. Just for a little increase in sound quality.
For those that don't know, minidisk players are made with magnesium but most minidisks are made of plastic.
For those that don't know, minidisk players are made with magnesium but most minidisks are made of plastic.
So I'm signing up for something online and they use the "secret question" passwork backup policy.
It says "Choose something only you know..." And the choices include...
1. The city was I born in?
2. The street did I grow up on?
3. My mother's maiden name?
4. Last five digits of my credit card number?
5. Last five digits of my SSN?
Not including the bad grammar, these are things that couldn't possibly be something only I know. I mean, my mom will at least know her maiden name. And the credit card company probably knows at least the last 5 digits of my credit card number. I'm sure the government has records of where I was born, what streets I have lived on, and the last part of my SSN.

Can't wait to see Kill Bill. Yet I haven't seen Underworld or Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Remember Confidence? Probably not. It came out last year, look like a good grifter movie. Never got around to seeing it.
In other news, Napster sold out. But remains slightly cool with these animations.
In other other news, I've been streamripping DJ Doboy for about 2 weeks nonstop. So the stream sometimes breaks for a few seconds so mix becomes incomplete. So even though it only takes 60 hours to cycle through all the mixes, not every single mix is complete. However, I now have 47 of 51 mixes ripped. The one mix I need is not part of the 47. Damn you Vocal 8.

It's a sign.
Minesweeper gets dangerous when you start thinking of it as a giant Constraint propagation problem from 6.034. Attempting domain reduction in neighbors and propagating though singleton domains.

I though Nokia's N-Gage gaming phone was a bad idea but the guys at Penny Arcade one up everyone with this harsh review.

Damn Gaia servers screwed up. Now the admins are doing a two day roll back. I think I'm gonna be losing a lot. Cause I got a posted over 100 times on the forum in the two days before it went down. That brought my total to nearly 1200. So, its a large chunk of my forum activity. Plus, I was attempting to purchase some items in auction. And my second character got a pink link which gave me 1000 gold.
Of course it's just some fake gold and intangible unnecessary stuff. But it's like I wasted all this time because of it.

Sigma Kappa Late Nite
Nate Ball did some awesome beatboxing. That comedian guy did some funny standup. The Polynesian dance and the Irish dance were talented and entertaining. Our Friend Glenn only did two songs but that was cool. Gollum's debate was cool.
The Strongbad skit sucked. Ballroom dance was mechanical and feelingless. PBE pledges made fools of themselves (except Lincoln with the juggling). Everything else wasn't memorable.

If you've been reading, you know that I thought the Reloaded was great. I don't believe there are any flaws or weird oddities because Revolutions has yet to finish the trilogy. It's the same as if you only watch Empire Strikes Back out of the Star Wars trilogy. It has unfinished stuff. Yet, the first movie is complete because they would not know if it would be successful until a first complete movie is successful.
Just watched the Matrix Revolutions trailers. It looks insane. Insanely good, that is. Monica Bellucci is playing Persephone again. So hot. And the Agent Smith vs. Neo fight is looking many times better than the one in Reloaded. And it looks like a lot of the theories and predictions I made are correct.
