I don’t write journal entries very often, but I enjoy writing and want the excuse right now. Alex Hurst came over to hang out today! He’s actually been in the area for months now. It was great to see him! It’s probably been about two years since I’d seen him, and we haven’t talked regularly since high school. It’s sure weird how things change. I can’t believe he’s getting married soon!
Anyways, we caught up over lunch at Del Taco and then just hung out at my place. I actually cleaned my room a bit so I can have people over (not that anyone really comes over anyways). So! He brought a six-pack of beer and we caught up more before going on a walk to climb a hill near my house. I’ve been near it many times but never thought to visit it. It offered a great view, and I took a bunch of lousy iPhone-quality photos! Then we went off to Costco with gem and Antonio. It seemed like a fail mission to me. We got ibuprofen, spinach, Dr. Pepper, and mushrooms. I’m sure the mushrooms and spinach will end in something good, but it seems boring right now. Afterwards we ate at Chick-fil-A before returning home where Alex spend the remainder of the night playing Portal. I read Daredevil thanks to Kyle.
It was great reconnecting with someone to whom I was very close at one time. Hopefully I’ll see more of him and Darnell in the future.

Street Fighter Characters in SvR 2011

This game has more complex and detailed character creation than anything I have ever played (almost every physical feature you could possibly want, every aspect of a character’s movelist, customizable finishing moves, theme music), and even lets you design your own storylines with branching paths. With enough effort, you can literally make your own wrestling-themed adventure game, using only your original characters.
Even despite my lack of interest in professional wrestling and thinking the gameplay itself is mediocre, I honestly love this game. It’s like The Sims, except the lives of my virtual people revolve around beating each other up.

What interests me is this comment on the Joystiq post, not the post itself. Look at his second paragraph. Look at it! Pure gold.
iPhone Alarms Fail 1/1 and 1/2
iPhone alarm not working leads Apple fans to oversleep post-New Year’s
Apple fans started the New Year with a bit of a hangover after a software glitch caused the iPhone’s alarm function to stop working.
Now I know why my alarm didn’t go off this morning at all. Apparently after the New Year, alarms stopped working on the iPhone. Apple claims they’ll work starting on the 3rd, and that it was a problem only with the 1st and 2nd. Weird. Too bad I didn’t read this last night, because I was about 20 minutes late to work today after oversleeping by an hour and a half.
Banners
This is a compilation of all the banners I’ve used at the top of WebPageless.
- The banner my friend Karp made me when he helped me set up my site
years ago. - The photo that was worth a suspension and attempted expulsion. I
took it of my high school from the rooftop of the university library. - Photo taken from UCI looking between the flag poles.
- Temporary banner for FKW 2008.
- A view of Long Beach at night from Signal Hill.
- A banner made with an online generator of shoot ’em up graphics.
I liked them representing different parts of my life. I need to think
of something new to photograph to use now.
