I went to the ATM today. The guy in front of me asked if I was Japanese or Chinese. I told him I was Japanese. He said "Ah, I guessed right!". So said the guy wearing a plaid shirt and plaid shorts.

My page looks strange in Netscape. Just the blog pages. I don't like it.

I hate it when webpages die or go away or...yeah. Good pages. Pages like mars and Randominity.com. And whatever happened to Grace who was at ironedfishes.net once upon a long time ago? And asianx.net? Actually, I wasn't overly fond of asianx.net, it was just something of an icon back in the day.

Anyway.

I have a whole lot of work to do. Mmmmhmm. Tomorrow is the last day with the kiddies. Vocab rally and sandwiches. After the "festivities" the staff (that's me!) is going to go to Sunny Italy. Yay for italian food :)

Ethics 101

Last spring quarter my friend Jen, a bio major, took a bioethics class for fun. She used to show me a bunch of situations to see what I thought of them. For example: There is a couple that gave birth to a child without a brain. They decided to donate it's organs to those in need. The problem was, the organs could not be donated right away because they were too small. The child would have to be put on life support until the organs grew large enough to harvest. To some, this would be unethical and hence should not be done. What do you think?

I have approx. 75 photos in rotation. Unfortunately for you, the code uses the Math.random() method to determine which photo to display. Those of you who have ever used Math.random() in your code know what I mean. It's frustrating. I tried using it in ICS23 to make my maze algorithm and it would pick the same number over and over again and it ended up causing a stack overflow. Pah.

In my new design I want to use screenshots of people I linked on one of my pages. The image will be directly linked to your page (provided I get the code functioning). Let me know if you have any objections, coo?

I just tried to drink from my yogurt cup instead of my drink cup. It was an accident.

I know javascript.

Actually, no I don't, but I know it well enough to suit my purposes at this point.

I'll put up some more meaningful blogs later, after I go through the hassle of getting my digicam repaired and my new layout done :)

swearing off...

Friendster..........until the end of the week
coffee..........until school starts

My life has become decidedly more boring than it's been in a long time (I spent the day wrestling with the enigma that is Microsoft Excel and photo albuming) but for some odd reason I feel as worked up and stressed out as ever, if not more so.

Perhaps that would be the reason why that for the first time in years, I had a nightmare.

It was pretty freaky. I knew I was dreaming but I couldn't figure out how to wake myself up. It got to the point where I was trying to figure out how to kill myself in hopes of waking up and putting an end to that nasty scenario.

Just when I had given up hope, the bf called and woke me up. He really picked the right day to call me too early in the morning. Ordinarily I would have been irritated, but in this instance I was relieved.

On another note, a bunch of us went to go see Blue Planet LIVE! at the Hollywood Bowl. It was pretty fascinating. Of course, we missed the drowning of the baby whale due to an unfortunate incident with a roach that decided to take a stroll down my back. My apologies to all those sitting near us.

OCBC and Venice are both having Obon this weekend. I'll be heading out to OC tomorrow evening. See you there!

I'm just beyond frustrated with my class right now. ARGH! It really kills me to see potential in these kids and know exactly what they need to do to bring it out, but not be able to make them do it. I can't make them want to work to do well. I can't make them care. I hate it when I recognize detrimental patterns in their behavior and work ethic that I can't break.

I don't know everything, I'm not brilliant, and I don't always know what's best for them, but I can see a lot of things that they can't. But how do you help someone who is so unwilling to be helped? Especially when what they need help with is learning how to help themselves?

*shaking head* There's my little rant for today. What can I do foo.

Back to test grading...ta ta.

Happy one year anniversary to me and the bf I'm a couple days late, but on the 8th I went to his place, and today (technically yesterday) my family was hogging the computer.

I want to catch up with people but man...sometimes it feels like I have a ton to take care of.

I got the oil and filter change. Finally. Now I just need a car wash.

Apes' birthday is coming up, but she's being held hostage at Middle Earth. Middle Earth at UCI that is.

Bowdoin Girl is just finishing reading Brave New World (Aldous Huxley) for the bazillionth time, just like I am. Very cool. LA Guy brought his little iBook in to work today. He also stole my ABZ Book (Shel Silverstein) which is the best book in the world. Everyone at work likes it. That is also very cool.

So goes my inane life.

Obon this weekend. You all should come.

sidenote: what happened to him...?


(link) Midori | 0 comments | 5:47 PM


Why do I feel so stressed out?

I'm about 1,500 miles overdue for an oil change. BAD. Bad bad BAD! *shaking head* I'm so scattered sometimes. All the time. Man oh man. I also need to get the car washed, but I think getting the oil change is a little more important as of now.

I need to get my ish together for the PSAT thing. Get everything organized and into a binder. Oh yeah, and I have to grade and record vocab crap. Blah. Today was rather slow. Trying to get them to talk was like pulling teeth. I always seem to have one quiet group. This looks like it's going to be it.

Bf and I are going to muck through more of his calculus today. Sometimes I get into teacher mode with him and start getting rather...demanding. I forget that I'm an informal tutor.

I need to Scheme-ify the brother.

And that's my life in a nutshell.

Anyhow, I'm just posting for Leah because I know he's awake.

One of my dad's friends is trans. He just told me about him/her today. Well, she used to be a him, now she's not. But anyway, this guy got a sex change while he was married. So before they were a straight couple, and now they're a lesbian couple. I don't know...I feel bad for her wife. It's...strange. =\

Blogger looks different. I like this better =) It's more like the old blogger.

YAY!

Okay, it's working and I'm happy. I had temporarily halted the creation of the new design as a result of being disillusioned by the problems I was having with blogger, but I shall resume.

I started working yesterday...kind of. Well, I kind of started working on monday. Turns out, I'm working with a fellow Apple lover and Civic sedan driver. He had just gotten the car. He was asking me how to use the remote for his car. Yeah, the remote with two buttons for lock and unlock. With little pictures showing which button was lock and unlock. Did I mention he was valedictorian?

Today is my first day with the kiddies. Here I am older and none the wiser. I hope today goes well. I hope the kiddies talk ;P They never do. Blah.

I got to see a bunch of people Sunday night for a post-birthday dinner for Damy. I discovered that Leah can tie a cherry stem in a knot...and so can I ;D. I also learned that it's easy to throw stuff down Sunflower's shirt and that sometimes pad thai really does belong on cars. Well, make that car. A black car. That foolio mofo bastard.

Pictures soon to come. Blogger might be working but my USB ain't =(
