I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

I screwed up on my calc quiz. (d/dx)(cosx) != sinx. But I put it anyways. I’ll still get credit for doing most of the problem right, I bet. I ditched lecture Friday and Monday but went today. I didn’t really understand what was going on… and it actually had nothing to do with the stuff from Friday and Monday… it was just that I slept through most of today’s lecture. The midterm’s on Monday. I think I’ll do well though.
CSE lab exam is next week. I should start on that soon. CSE midterm is next week too. It’s supposed to be really hard. I’m not going to look at anything tonight though. I just feel too dead.
Writing is going well. The paper was postponed until Monday. I should work on it this week because there’s other writing hw too, but I’ll do it all this weekend I guess. There’s a couple guys in that class that are just awesome because they say what they want to say.

Access to Chopsticks

I’ve sort of lost a lot of access to Chopsticks. After the house lost power and Chopsticks had to be restarted, the FTP was offline as was the VNC server. I can update the WebPageless blog through MT, and I have another script that allows me to update other files. However, I can’t back up the whole site without FTP access. I can’t have my dad do it because Chopsticks has no screen, so he’d have to plug in a monitor and go to a lot of work. That wouldn’t be easy because it’s been raining in my house, which is also the reason why I want to back up WebPageless.

Hanging Out, Missing Classes, Talking

I hung out with Gemma this morning, which was very nice. Around two, I went to Pippin to eat lunch. It was the first time I had eaten alone since I got here. After talking with Will for a while back at the dorm, I left for writing class. I had already missed CSE21 discussion, lab, and Math 2D lecture. When I got back, we had mail. I got my check/debit card from Wells Fargo. That’s good =) I spent the day talking, reading Angels & Demons, and playing Final Fantasy II (USA). They put up a flyer that basically said “don’t use these terms:” followed by a bunch of derogatory terms and then “use these terms:” followed by words like “kind,” “team player,” etc. We stood in the hallway adding terms. I went to dinner with Gemma, Allison, and Rebecca. It’s always so much fun hanging out with them. The crab soup was horrible, so I tried adding all sorts of stuff to it. Made me feel sick. Came back, took a shower, and then pushed my wardrobe against the bed. Now I can set my laptop on top and use it from bed. In fact, that’s what I’m doing now. It’s great.
Time to make a new paragraph? lol. I talked to Joseph for a bit today. It was cool getting to talk with him. I called Herbert too. I haven’t talked with him in a very long time, and I’m really glad I got a chance to. Not to be sappy or anything man (since I know you read WebPageless), but you’ve been a good friend and I hope you stay one. Anyways, I’m off.

Entry

Assuming that we have spirits that live on after we die, what’s more real – the physical body that dies or the spirit that lives on?
My dad talks about missing me but won’t visit. Odd. The dog catcher came to check out Nina. She’s not vicious. However, we have to get the rash thing taken care of or they’ll put her down. It’s going to be near $400 to start and a lot more after that. He’s not going to pay it.
It rained last night here. I really love the rain. The only bad part about it was that it rained at the house in Long Beach too… nothing was put on the roof (which is still unfinished) so it basically rained through in a lot of spots… and parts of the ceiling fell.
Jamie went to prison but got back out already due to overcrowding. He has to stay in a specific house and has a curfew and shit… but that’s a lot better than prison.
I went to see “I <3 Huckabees" with some friends last night. There's a theater that plays only independent films. It's pretty cool... there are other movies I want to see there. When it was first starting though, I felt really weird... warm, uncomfortable, confused... like something was very wrong. I wasn't really moving, and I felt the urge to jump up and run away but of course didn't. I don't really know how to describe it. It went away eventually though. I've felt like that a little before, but this was much worse.

Rain, Gemma, Java

Gemma asked me to go for a walk with her at the exact time I decided to go to a walk. We walked around ring road and then just walked around. It started to rain… we sat on a bench for a while before just standing in the rain. It should rain more often. Lightning and thunder began too. Very cool.
When I got back, Gabby was in here watching Aishiteruze Baby. I’m glad she’s comfortable with us. I finished the program… seems pretty easy. I had glanced at the notes though. I haven’t yet attempted it without notes. The test isn’t until Wednesday though.

A Student Guide to Writing at UCI

“If you don’t know the connotation of a particular verb, the best way to find out quickly is to enter it into your word processing software’s ‘thesaurus” function. You can also go to and click the ‘thesaurus’ radio button for a list of synonyms., Of course, there’s always the old book-style thesaurus, as well.”
I like how the book refers to electronic sources first and then books.

Weird Gondolin People

At around two this morning, I looked out the peep hole at Gemma and Allison’s and noticed two people making out in the hallway. Someone was needed to check who they were, and Gemma had to pee, so she seemed the best candidate. I opened the door for her, but she just stood there. I gave her a little push because… well… maybe she needed to be reminded that she had to go pee or something. She stepped out, said “oh,” and jumped back into the room… and then walked to the bathroom. The guy came over apologizing until he noticed me. He said “wait, why am I apologizing? There’s a guy sleeping in here.” I looked at him as I slowly closed the door. About a minute later, the guy and a friend of his knock at the door. The guy’s friends told him that the room had three girls in it so he feared that he accidently had called one of the girls a guy. I let him know that he was right and that I was, in fact, a guy. He asked me what I was doing here, and I proceeded to explain how Evenstar, being like a two minute walk, was way too far to walk back to. After asking if I was dating one of the girls, he tried to figure out what bed I slept in. It was pretty amusing. Too bad that our antics woke up Rebecca =/
