Merry Christmas everyone!! Oops, a bit late. Sorry about that. But its the thought that counts right? And of course you all know what was on my mind all last week right? Yup. My blog.

Lets see. Saw Return of the King last week with vic and raymond. Great stuff. It even prompted me to try and read the books, and i've almost finished fellowship in less than a week. Now to try and finish the other two before classes start.

Also went over to viejas and pala with the folks, where i won $40 with one dollar. Whoo!! My mom also won something like $200, thanks to me standing there.

I decided to go ahead and present the completed list of Mike's Alltime Top Ten Favorite Movies, since if i keep doing my one at a time tactic, it'll take me till next summer to finish. But even looking at it now i'm not sure i like it, so expect a revision sometime in the not so near future.

Mike's Alltime Top Ten Favorite Movies
(i switched #'s 3 and 4)
1. Star Wars Trilogy (4-6)
2. Disney Classics
3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
4. Star Wars Trilogy (1-3)
5. T2
6. Pixar
7. The Matrix
8. James Bond
9. X2
10. The Mummy Returns

So now that its winter break and i've got lots more free time on my hands, you would think that i would get back to updating a lot more frequently, yet here we are with the first update after 3 days. Augh!

Work has been interesting. I get to make media now, which means conjuring up all sorts of cool potions and gels, instead of washing glassware all day. And its been 3 days and nobody has complained about their experiments blowing up yet, so i must be doing things right. Yay!

Allright, not much more to say except that i saw 3 pretty girls in and around the other labs today. That makes today a success!

Well finals are finally over. Thankfully, my last two weren't nearly as bad as the horror which i will no longer speak of. I got to see jan, eric, and mario again during the physics final before they all leave san diego, so that was cool. And, the final wasnt as hard as i thought, and much shorter than they could have made it (chem professors should take notes!). Lunch with mario after at price where we saw none other than . . . Will Lee!! He joined us for lunch so he could tell mario about how we were bathroom buddies, and that he still owes vic $15 from middle school.

Still had about an hour before my bio final afterwards, so what else did i do but . . . play pool! They remodelled the game room and made it all colorful, which was kinda cool. I think me and mario are going to start an end of the quarter tradition of pool from here on. Of course, i hadnt actually finished finals yet, but hey, whose counting.

After bio, had to go to work where they had piles of glassware for me to get washed and sterilized. Lots of test tubes. I dont think i've ever seen so many test tubes before.

Today me and vic decided to hit the mall, and after missing utc we got lost trying to find fashion valley and ended up in mission valley. So we walked around there for a bit and looked at calenders with "scantily clad" women on them. They built a target in since i was last there, which is the first time i've ever seen a target in a mall, or a target with two stories, or one of those nifty cart lifter things. We also ran into none other than . . . Chuck! We caught up for a little bit while his family ditched him and he brought back memories from our childhood that had been suppressed.

Time to go and resuppress those disturbing images.

Here's your update:

O-Chem final today was the meanest mf'er in the history of mf'ers.

Happy?

"Damn them. Damn them all!!"

This week is uncool. Work everyday plus trying to study for next week's finals. I can't wait til this week is over so that i can study more over the weekend and then go back to work next week and then actually take the finals and then go back to work over winter break without the person training me or the person training with me. Whoo!!

I read that AMC mission valley is playing the extended versions of Fellowship and Two Towers. I still havent seen those.

Whoo!!
