Zot Bill, Transcripts

I thought I received a bill from UCI today, but it was actually just a notice that after fees were taken from my grants, I have money left in my account.
I also got a call from Denise Earley today about my transcripts. She just received them, and after reviewing what courses I enrolled it, confirmed that I picked all the correct classes.

Cleaning

I just finished cleaning my computer. I went through and removed old folders, links, files, uninstalled programs I don’t want, and sync’ed my private, shared, mIRC, and Trillian folders with my external hard drive. I also moved data I don’t need on my internal HDD to my external, and I moved my high school work back to my internal. Ad-aware had some trouble, but finished cleaning, and NAV finished successfully, too. Yay.

Aishiteru ze Baby through 19

A new character, Miki, was introduced at the end of episode 17. It was a good time to do so. She spices up the show by adding a new bit of drama. There are a lot of different characters and sub-plots now, and thoe show is able to adequately support all. Episode 19 ends with a cliff-hanger. Now I wait for 20.

Gravitation

Gravitation is a really good series. It’s about a young man named Shuichi who’s in a new band called Bad Luck. While in a park, Shuichi drops a piece of paper with the lyrics to one of his songs on it. A man picks them up and tells Shuichi that they’re horrible. Shuichi learns that his name is Yuki and falls in love with him. There are a lot of twists of plot and emotion, and it’s surprising how many people are connected to each other.
The style of the show is very fun. It’s very serious sometimes, but also switches to a cartoonish style for parts. Shuichi and Ryuichi both act cute and childish at times, which is very amusing. Characters wear bunny, dog, luggage, cans and many other types of costumes. Very strange. Character development for Shuichi and Yuki is good. Most other characters don’t actually develop, but information about them is released that’s vital to the plot.
The ending is a little ambiguous, and parts of the plot move too fast. In one episode Shuichi falls in love, realizes he’s in love, realizes it’s okay to love a male, and kisses Yuki. Nevertheless, the show is very good.

David’s House

David woke me up yesterday afternoon with a phone call, requesting that I come over to LAN. He picked me up, we stopped by Herbert’s to pick something up, and then we went to Jack-in-a-Box. His cousin Will was over, and we played WarCraft III Lord of the Rings Hero Siege. After I died, I played Doom 3 while they played for a long time, lol. Around 6:30, David drove me home after stopping by Herbert’s again. He said he might want to do something today as well, but I don’t know if I’m going to be up for it.

Bowling

Herbert was going to take me to Gable House today, but his mom held him back until six. I went with Jaysen. Jaysen, Joseph, and I bowled, and Jennifer hung out with us. The scores are as follows:

Name Entered Name Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
Joseph CDR 113 111 161
Peter MAJ 62 95 74
Jaysen SRG 48 56 97

Then, we played DDR, and I sucked. Jennifer beat Joseph in Need for Speed GT, I beat Jaysen, and then Jennifer beat me.
At dinner, Alex and Herbert joined us. Afterwards, we went back to Gable House. I played DDR with Herbert, sucking again, and then, we went back to Need for Speed GT. Jennifer beat Herbert, but I beat Jennifer this time.
Herbert wanted to go to some World War II store, but it was closed. We then went to Joseph’s to hang out in his parking lot before finally returning home.
