My laptop is cursed.

It completely locks down randomly. Not just freezing because CPU is working at 100%. Everything just stops, no input or output. The only thing I can do is force it to power down. This has happened sometimes right after I just turned it on and haven't started any programs yet. It's annoying, but I've known about it since I got it around two years ago.

However, recently, there's been a change. Whenever I type out something fairly long (taking over say 5 minutes), it freezes and I have to redo the whole thing right when I'm about to click save or submit. I'll be moving my cursor to the button and it will freeze mid-path. I wouldn't be surprised if it locked up when I was about to submit this. It's happend at least 10 times already on important stuff this summer...while doing med school stuff.

Interviewed with AMR today. Hopefully they hire me and I'll get to work for the summer.

In other news, I haven't been to the beach yet. I should do that sometime...

Haven't seen Star Wars Episode III yet. These make me glad I didn't go wait in line....not that I ever would. I mean, it's just a movie. "Saw Episode III in costume at the first showing at midnight." There's a great resume builder.

I probably saw Matrix Reloaded at it's first showing. But that's cause I got to see it for free.

Back home.

I was so tired during my flights that I fell asleep like the moment I sat down. My lack of seat belt-age didn't seem to concern the flight attendants in any way. And I think (since they were still boarding when I feel asleep) I may have blocked people from moving into the center and window seats. Fortunately, the plane was pretty empty.

Finals week sure fucked up my sleep cycle. I'm still feeling the effects after sleeping a lot the past two days.

Posting some old links:

Heli Attack 2
Quite possibly one of the best flash games I've ever played.

Tiny Plaid Ninjas
Haha...hilarious. But why does that guy eat the ninja at the end? Yes, very strange.

NTT DoCoMo
Proof that dubbing sucks and that the future is basically what I do now...use a computer twenty-four seven.

Alpha Force
Either I now suck at this type of game or it's suprisingly difficult.

Naked Melee Armageddon
Yeah, I can beat "Superman" difficulty with 60+ guys left. Yeah, it's just clicking. I click fast, bitch.

Where's Waldo Online
Where the fuck is he? But seriously, if you're gonna make a text version, you should at least make funny comments for each of the different options to click...

Alien Planet
If making documentaries about supposed "aliens" isn't an indication that they've run out of real things to talk about, I don't know what is.

Went to a Brazilian BBQ place with Sean last night. So much meat....yum.

They just walk around with huge skewers of various meat dishes. And then they just cut meant off right into your plate.

So it's basically a buffet where they don't try to give you filler foods that you don't want and you don't even have to go get your own food. It's like the best possible arrangement...though it was a bit salty.

Happy Mother's Day!

Yeah, I'm rocking the time travelling post. Yeah, I basically spent Mother's day running the drills for MIT EMS. It's nice to be on the proctor side of the drills. Now that drills have a well established precedent for extreme twists, it's hilarious to see people be extremely overly cautious about every possible thing.

My station didn't really have a twist...except for the dying that happened if you fucked up. Then my victem got bored and decided to set himself up in interesting places...like on top of a vending machine, which the crew climbed on too and then almost fell over...good thing the area was crawling with EMTs.
