Mike finally got a new computer!!! Whooo!! No more crashes every 5 minutes, and I actually have sound again!! Yee haw.

Studying physics at the beach today. Fun stuff. And, my mom conveniently left all her credit cards at home today, so during shopping afterwards i was called on for help. At least now I have a member's credit card at Mervyn's.

More to post later but i think ill go to sleep now.

Padres 28-22, 1st place!!!

I was busy working on the latest edition of Mike's Forsaken BILD 1 Lecture Outlines when Will im's me this thing. Will figured it out in 2 minutes cuz he's will, while I did it in 5. It made me feel smart again so i thought i'd share it with all you people.

Ahh, the memories. Seeing all the high schoolers talking about prom on their blogs and xangas makes me think back to that special night 2 years ago and wonder one thing . . . how come our year was the one that got screwed up and scheduled before AP tests were over?? Haha. Fun times though. I'm happy for everyone who had a great prom over the weekend, and thanks for reminding me of a time before ochem :P

Someone actually came to my office hours today!! I finally got a chance to share my vast wisdom, and i feel loved and appreciated once again. (Until she comes back and says "You explained it all wrong!")

Alias and Smallville finales!! Fun stuff, although i liked last year's alias cliffhanger better, and i'm kinda sad they killed lauren, cuz she was hot. (Of course, she fell into that hole in the end so its possible she may have survived somehow, despite getting shot about 10 times).

"I hate you! But I love Sydney more!"

Well, the ochem midterm is finally out of the way, and i think i did ok. So now i feel much more relaxed and can write a happy, generic journal post. (Until the midterm is handed back at least)

Saturday drove with jon to ucsd for his transfer admit day. Didnt really do much, just walked around a few places and showed him vic's fridge. We ate at shogun (again) where jon made fun of my chop stick skills. Also got some pool going, where i sucked, but did manage to win one game legitimately.

Afterwards went with mario and his suitemates to their new apartment for their housewarming party. It was a pretty nice place, with lots of space (mostly cuz they didnt have any furniture yet). Getting out kinda sucked cuz the parking lot was so small, and i rammed into a car twice before asking the girl in the car next to me if she could move so i could get out. Ugh. Plus, eric rode with me driving there, and he happened to be the one carrying the korean bbq, so now my car smells like korean bbq.

Between getting home and yesterday at 6:00 was studying ochem.

After the test vic needed a ride home, and we decided to get dinner at mimi's cafe. It was pretty good, and several funny things came up during our conversations. Sadly i dont really remember what they were. But they were funny!!

"You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it"

This has been a long week, and i havent even started studying for my ochem midterm yet. Why wont this year end?? Ahhhh. I seriously cant remember the last time classes bugged me so much, although i guess even when i didnt worry about grades i always found something else to stress about. Augh.

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of bringing calvin and sam to the room in the back of our house. I still cant believe there was a time i could carry both of them. But as annoying as it is to get calvin's paw prints on my white shirts and to hear sam barking at birds past midnight, i have to say i truly appreciate being able to go home everyday to see calvin's carefree smile and sam's stoic glare. (and their chick magnetism doesnt hurt either . . . did i ever mention bringing them to pacific beach?)

So, what do i do to try and relax during a long and stressful couple of days? Why, write a rap of course!!!

In Da Lab (to the tune of 50's in da club)
You can find me in the lab
Bottles smellin bad
Mama, I'll make what you need
If you need some YPD
I'm in to pourin plates
I aint into havin dates
So come give me a call
If you're in Pacific Hall!!

Okay, that may have been the cheesiest thing ever conceived, but hey, i deserve a break from the stresses of college every now and then, and so do you :P (admit it, you laughed right? right? dang)

Gosh, I wish this quarter was over. This is seriously the busiest quarter so far (lets hope that doesnt translate into even worse grades).

My dogs got out again yesterday. I think that makes it 4 times? I didn't even realize it until my neighbor rang the doorbell. I ran out to go look for them, taking a right on salmon until neighbor dude yells at me that they just came back. So i turn around, run back to the house, and head to the backyard to find them laying down as if they had just had one of their normal walks. Hrm. I say instead of trying to walk them from now on we should just open the gate and allow them to run around the neighborhood on their own, since they seem pretty good at finding their way back by themselves.

4 more weeks . . . I think the old gang should hang out a lot more this summer. Last summer we only convened twice? That's not good enough!!

"If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see"

Jon is comin to ucsd!! Whoo!! I'm glad jon will be joinin the rest of us former mc'ers, cuz jon is a cool guy and sometimes the world doesnt seem to have enough cool guys in it. Plus he makes me laugh.

I was playing pool with gary from my ochem lab this morning (ochem lab got out early for the 2nd week in a row!!! did i mention how much i love that lab? well, maybe love is too strong a word) and there was a funny moment that went something like this:

Me: "Do you watch friends?"
Gary: Shocked look on his face
Me: "Oh. You dont watch friends?"
G: Shocked look on his face
Me: "You dont watch friends and are insulted i asked?"
G: "No. I just remembered i forgot to set my timer"
Me: "What timer?"
G: "To tape the last episode of friends"

I've been waiting a long time to say this, so get ready . . .


THE PADRES ARE IN FIRST PLACE BABY!!! WHOOOO!!! TAKE THAT ANTI PETCO PARK ACTIVISTS!!!

The Padres are in first place, while the Dodgers are NOT in first place. You may be wondering how many teams have more wins than the padres. The answer beings with an N, ends with an E, and has OON in the middle.

First of all, go here, click on the Online All Star Ballot button, and vote for san diego boys to go to the all star game!!

So yesterday was the Warren Semi Formal. I hooked up with mario and friends once again, except this time there was something like 27 people. We had reservations at buca di beppo downtown for 5:30, but didnt get there till 6:30. I had the privilage of driving 5 of us in mr. reubens, and discovered that the only thing more fun than driving downtown on a saturday evening is trying to find parking on a saturday evening. We got a spot in a parking structure not to far from the restaurant, and actually got the very last spot all the way on the top (not counting the guy who kinda parked on the side of the road). It was even more hectic in the restaurant where people were trying to figure out where to sit everyone and what to order. The food ended up being pretty good, so i guess it was all worth it.

From there we walked down to the convention center. We could see petco park from basically everywhere we were the whole day, and seeing it just makes me more excited to go watch a game sometime soon.

So we finally got to the dance, where they had some more good eats and drinks. The dancing itself was pretty fun, and our group once again had a huge circle going on. A lot of people from last time who i thought werent coming ended up showing up, so that was cool to see everyone. Vic, kevin, and chang were all there too, so it was lots of fun hangin with them and getting a groove on (kevin is a monster!!) :P

So 5 hours later we decided to go home, after taking about 100 huge group pictures. Overall it was noodles of fun.

Also, the other day i found a mouse in the pantry. Grabbing my trusty wooden stick that i keep around in case i ever need to defend the house from an intruder, i patiently waited for the mouse to reveal itself. Eventually the mouse got foolish and ventured out to the front of the pantry, and (having just watched kill bill) i proceeded to execute a downward slice, laying the smackdown directly on the mouse's candy ass. It dropped dead and i felt manly. Until i had to pick it up and stick it in a bag to dispose of (picking up a mouse is really, really icky). I wished i had used one of my dad's samaurai swords so i could say i sliced the mouse in half, but ah well.

Padres: 16-9

"Cuz i don't know if i take that chance
Just where is it gonna lead
But what i do know is the way she dance
Makes shorty allright wit me"
