i wonder if it's common practice for other blogs to randomly change their blog names once in a short while. because i did it first and then connie did it and we both do it now to a ridiculous degree. so i'll just go rename my blog now again.

yeah, that's right. you want to see shaolin soccer. :)
I HATE WRITERS' BLOCK. with a passion.. a burning, white-hot passion. grrrrrr... maybe i should take a walk or something to refresh my brain. which has turned to mush over the course of the afternoon. sigh. oh, and congrats to ellen and richard. acceptance letters are nice. =) Thursday, November 28, 2002
okay, maybe i want to see "shaolin soccer" again now too. i wasn't paying attention when i watched it twice on tv, so maybe there was something i missed? all i remember was the bruce lee goalie and the outrageous special effects. anyway, if it's supposedly up for rerelease, it can't be that bad.
oo-ee-ook all the way.
hey, i could go to ui...uc. what happened to the uc? oh well. derek's picky about movies and i want to see shaolin soccer too. i hope you guys have a great day with lots of food.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Wednesday, November 27, 2002
i wanna watch shaolin soccer... my friend Jess said that its one of the funniest movies she's ever seen AND I'm canto.
Congrats RockinRichbert Fireball Li! You're going to college!
shaolin soccer is an awesome movie. period. i can't wait till the supposed u.s. release in march!
university of illinois baby! now i know i'll at least be going somewhere good next year. score.
eew. "shaolin soccer" was an incredibly stupid movie, if i'm remembering it correctly from watching it twice on taiwanese television. a lot of hong kong comedy is good, but then there's a lot of dumb things too. maybe just like in the united states. anyway, i'm reading "about a boy" and i wish i remember what "high fidelity" was like. and i should watch both movies.
man. so i really want to go out xmas shopping for everyone...we should all go to jersey gardens and then split up and then get back together afer a few hours. maybe i'll make a list of who i need to buy stuff for, and then...i'll be sad after i figure out how i can split 7 dollars worth of presents 25 ways. anyhow, 1/8 of a pecan pie is over 500 calories, and i think i've already passed the 1/8 mark, closing in fast on the 1/4. woohoo.
i just watched shaolin soccer. it is quite possibly the most ludicrous and simultaneously hilarious movie i have ever seen. hahahahahaha... good stuff. i wish i could understand cantonese. the subtitles were horrible. but that may have been because it was a bootleg copy.. =)
ooh, turkey day tomorrow. not that i ever eat turkey... hmm. i'm going to my parents' friend's house. that should be .. fun. hehe. at least there will be some good food. i'm kind of sad about this weekend, though. there's so much time that could be potentially used for loafing around, but i will probably spend most of it doing stupid things. like college essays and whitten/boueil homework (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHH...!). wahh. what a waste of perfectly good slacking time. >_< Tuesday, November 26, 2002
i wanted to eat my tennis racquet today. marat safin is my idol. i don't know whether i was lazy/tired today or just naturally suck at tennis. i am consistently inconsistent and it freaking drives me nuts.
when I used to lock myself out of the house, i would walk across the street to kris may's house to call someone b/c his mom was always home. and mrs. may would always ask if i wanted something to drink, and being chinese i would always refuse and walk back home to sit by the garage and wait. finally i had the brilliant idea of leaving my basketball outside so I would have something to do whenever i forgot my keys, but fortunately i never needed to. so i went to shrewsbury library today to do research for maltese. did you know that sun wu kong (monkey king) might have been based on the monkey characters (Hanuman) in the Ramayana? yea it brought back memories of gothelf. very warm and pleasant memories.
i just checked out at least fifteen books from middletown public library -- they look very promising. i think i'm going to find a list of pulitzer prize and national book award winners and borrow all of those next time. i have my literary fix for the next few weeks or so.
i went and got a sweet onion teryaki sub from subway today. it was yummy.. but now my mouth tastes like onions. bleech. i feel like sucking on ten thousand altoids.
if i ever lost my keys, i would cry. i've had a few incidents where i've forgotten my keys and have been locked outside my house. they made me feel sad and pathetic because i had to wait in my garage for someone else to come home. hahaha.. i remember one time it was the day of the ellis island trip.. i was sitting in my garage all dressed up in immigrant clothes and wearing a pair of boots with one heel that i had broken. ah, that was a sad day. hahahaha... =D
ah, i just had lunch with serena. palumbos does have good pizza .. i should eat there more. so ellie told me last night that she's moving to the orchards, to 54 durant avenue, and i live on 13 durant! she'll live less than five hundred meters or so away. i can stalk her and hide in her bushes and peek into her windows. and she can drive me around places. anyway, that was really surprising. so i lost my house keys and i'm really annoyed at myself because there was no way it could've happened. they were always in my bag or in my pockets. okay, it could've happened if they fell out of my pockets or my bag was open and they fell out or someone stole them from me. if anyone has seen them anywhere (they're attached to one of those little rope bracelets from fellowship with the five colored beads, there are three keys), you know where i live. you can open the door and kind of just drop them off.

derek told me to blog and i haven't heard him say that in so long and i missed it so i decided to immediately follow his order and blog. which brings me to here. i haven't blogged here in months... so i have no idea what everyone's talking about. but by reading part of derek's most recent blog and serena's one line, i am led to believe that college has been a major topic. er, college is fun!! it really is. it's like a big hangout 24/7. even when you're studying. but it's good to study alone. i've noticed my habits have changed drastically since i've gone to school, namely eating and sleeping and even studying. which made me fat, sleep-deprived, and somewhat of a nerd. actually, i take that back. i don't really study that much. which is very, VERY bad.
anywho, harry potter is really cool. i watched it the day it came out and people were dressed up and stuff. mostly little kids, except for this one WEIRD-OH who had it all, down to the wand and broomstick. robe, glasses, scar, everything. and he was WEIRD! cuz we were waiting for the bus to get back and he happened to be at the same bus stop and he was like, waving down passing cars and yelling at them! and he kept pacing back and forth and back and forth and was saying something to himself. freaked me out. yeap. so i was looking stuff up from the movie, malfoy is the oldest actor. born in 87. ron was born in 88, harry was born in 89, and hermione is only 12, born in 90. they're so cute! i love ron's face! he's got the funniest facial expressions=) so cute! yeap. go joywok! ok see ya.
i'm finally seeing things the way they were meant to be seen. what i'm referring to is that i just downloaded franklin gothic book, which i thought i had but i didn't and now i'm seeing it on instant messenger when before i thought people were just lazy and using times new roman. anyway. now i know that people have been taking the time to choose their screen fonts. yay!
i have this craving for mashed sweet potato. like the kind they have at boston market as a side. maybe i can go get some tomorrow. maybe i can go to the library tomorrow. maybe i can go to the mall tomorrow. i need to pick up some books that i can read in my spare time, and i need this white long-sleeved tee. okay, i don't really _need_ it, but it would be nice to have. maryland institute college of art sent me this beautiful hardcover book in the mail today. it's five by six by one inches, and it's their "undergraduate prospectus", complete with grids and grids of color pictures. art schools rock. i need to go to one. Sunday, November 24, 2002
my growing loss of respect for some specific people is something that's bothering me recently. and no, i'm not referring to a certain ap english teacher. i don't really know how to describe it or say it. it just seems that lately, some people have had their priorities in the wrong place. and have been avoiding their responsibilities and obligations. something like that. i think i'll just be vague and leave it at that. but i'm a bit dissatisfied. i wonder if i should say anything.
i walked around a bit of new york city today holding a 32-ounce bottle of kiwi strawberry snapple. it was cold. i left class for an hour and sat around in the columbia bookstore reading design magazines. i want to see this japanese movie called "all about lily chou-chou" .. along with those wong kar-wai films. he directed a video for an electronica song called "six days" by dj shadow, and the guy from "crouching tiger" is in it. the mongolian nomad warrior guy, chen chang, chang chen, whatever his name is. i want sleep now because my head hurts.

Serena is admitted to Rutgers University and is very happy but sure hopes she doesn't have to enroll there =)
there... ive fixed it Friday, November 22, 2002
whee. interviews are fun.
I realized that I need to learn how to trash talk. yea i thought you'd laugh, but hey, I might need it someday. Thursday, November 21, 2002
i had my interview today. and i'm getting haircut tomorrow. derek, we're like mirror images!!!! or not... =)
yeah.. so the interview was okay. the room was FREEZING, and on top of that, i was nervous, so i was kind of shaky the whole time. i don't know if she noticed, but i sure felt it. i hate feeling shaky. and i kept feeling like i was forcing a smile and talking too fast. oh well. she was nice. hopefully she thought i was nice. :o) and wow. before the interview, i ate at turning point. oh man. so. good. i had a chicken pesto sandwich and a strawberry milkshake and i thought i was going to pass out afterwards. the milkshake was incredible. but i think the quality of the food may have been enhanced by the fact that we were all starving because we waited an HOUR [or what seemed like an hour] for seats. sheesh. it was good. i want to go there to try the pancakes.. island something. i am told that it has mango and almonds and all sorts of fruity goodness on it. yum. yay, time for math. i don't wanna study!!!! :(
okay, i think jessica has the most interesting ones. i got a haircut today, so now i feel light-headed and my head is cold. my ears have no insulation. anyway, i have my harvard interview tomorrow and my mom says i should prepare. um, i don't know how. what am i supposed to wear to an interview anyway?
jessica is buff (ahhh!!!)
jessica is pregnant? fact or fiction? jessica is satan jessica is the naughty secretary at unzipped (that's shady..) jessica is the bestest person in the world jessica is just as picky with her men as she is grammar (hahahah grammar nice!) jessica is like a rocket ship headed for the stratosphere jessica is interested in a relationship with another woman because she says she is jessica is decidedly uncomfortable with the conversation jessica is well known at our post office and they all love her jessica is mesmerized by the virtual playground filled with stars from fantasy land movies and all the people at big burger jessica is to be taken to a secure hospital where prisoners sleep in locked metal jessica is above all a hopeless perfectionist jessica is 11 lbs 7 oz (look rich.. i'm not fat!) jessica is not a real zombie there were many many sexual ones that i decided not to include... it seems that i am a bad bad girl. jess is my puppy jess is an australian kelpie jess is not a mess & doc is not a tomato jess is a rule engine and scripting environment written in java language by sandia national laboratories in livermore jess is now usually supplied as the windows98 version on a cd jess is left handed which is why some of his friends call him "pancho" (i'm left handed.. cool. call me pancha) jess is getting jeouluos of greymatter because i talk to her more than jess jess is actually weelittlejess jess is a happy place where children grow and learn in a caring environment jess is standing near jimmy as his lights go out jess is psycho gay goth fencing bitch jess is a clone of the core of the clips expert system shell jess is hot and bad boys are more fun anyway jess is a gymnast with olympic dreams (AHHH!!!!) jess is injured while chasing cattle rustlers okay okay.. enough of this. =) Wednesday, November 20, 2002

AAAAAHHHHHH this googlism thing is hilarious!!!! i made that last one about Rutgers up myself.
that googlism is da ish yo. my dog is really smart and is quite the overachiever:

i changed it. so those shorts i ordered last week for ten dollars each came in the mail, and it's strange how much of a difference an inch in waist size can make. so i'm exchanging two of them by mail. they're still $20.96 on the web site. it's very strange how they suddenly doubled the price the day after i ordered. anyway, before i went to prepare sending the package back, i wanted to call ae stores first to see if they had any shorts in stock so i could just exchange at the store, and what the guy said to me was, "um, did you mean pants?" i wish i were steph because she had not one, not even two, but THREE articles of work published in the whitten uh, whatever you would call it. "good examples of work" publication. i'm so jealous. caitlin and christine and michelle too. all girls. so not fair.
"one in twenty autistic people have autism." hmm. really? ;)
here are some of my googlisms: stephanie is running arms outstretch in haste stephanie is half manx and half american short hair stephanie is ranked number one is her senior class and will be the valedictorian speaker at her upcoming graduation ceremonies [hahahahaha.... oh, that's a good one] stephanie is reaching infamy for kissing just about everyone on the roster stephanie is the whore of all whores stephanie is pregnant mothermania stephanie is special to me because she was the only gerbil in a litter of six that was not agoutie stephanie is the coolest [ yes, i know :) ] i have very little homework today. that makes me happy. but i know that this lull in workload is going to be followed by an extremely disgusting amount of work within the next week. and that makes me sad. i don't know what to feel. anyway, i wanted to see that meteor shower. but i didn't.. sigh. i wonder if it was as pretty as i imagined it to be. =)
not a bad day at all. maybe the shooting star i saw last night was lucky.
so i stayed up until around one in the morning doing some random work (but stupidly nothing related to college applications) and went outside a bit after midnight for five minutes. and saw three shooting stars. one was incredibly bright and traveled for almost a second -- which is actually quite a long time if you think about it. but then i stood outside for another ten-twenty minutes and didn't see anything after that. i got this off ellie's site: googlism.com. apparently it seems some funny geek programmers came up with this, and it uses google matches to create hilarious phrases. since ellie made a list of the funny ones with her name, i'm going to make a list too. but in no particular order. derek is repeatedly harassed and assaulted by other students at schools he attends derek is just an obese loser who dresses up like anime characters derek is a wonderfully violent and nerdy bugger with some revolutionary ideas in the field of brain surgery derek is eigenlijk zelfs een tikkeltje verlegen en dat maakt bij veel vrouwen tedere gevoelens los derek is no longer the tightly coiled knot of anger he once was derek is in demand across the country derek is a gorgeous collision of texas eclectic and the wickedly stylish derek is teaching me all derek is teaching me all derek is love slave derek is now serving a mandatory life sentence at hmp frankland derek is a legend in his own derek is an internationally revered breeder of border collies and often has puppies and adult dogs for sale derek is extremely dyslexic anyway. hours of fun for everyone. so i woke up today and went to school and it was a good day. first, we did nothing in english but talk about the incredibly strange words that we created over the weekend. and then there was a fire drill. the rest of the day was uneventful, until the last ten minutes of eighth period when we went to alpha homeroom to get our report cards, and i was one hundred percent sure i was going to get a B in english but it was an A and i was very surprised and pleased yes i was! i need more of that feeling in my life. oh and then i was in har and steve was looking up something about musical talent for his research project and i found out that one out of ten thousand people has perfect pitch. so that means i'm in an elite group that comprises only 0.01% of the population. but then it said that one in twenty autistic people (you know, idiot savants and the like) have perfect pitch, so maybe i'm autistic. i think i'm mildly autistic. i just looked up "derk" on googlisms. you should play with this site. derk is unwillingly appointed this year's dark lord derk is getting squished more and more as bob and derk is getting ready to slap it down derk is an interesting case study derk is too tired to get up really early derk is perfectly content with his life at derkholm derk is a boy Monday, November 18, 2002
i freaked out today. i was jumping all over the house and yelling loudly. it felt nice. i think it was from all the extra energy i gained from that nap. hmm.
anywho... today made me feel very bored. i don't know if that's the right word. maybe tired. or .. worn out. something to that effect. that feeling you get when you don't want to do anything but you want to do something at the same time but you just can't bring yourself to move or think or react. i'm being very incoherent here. maybe you know what i'm talking about. probably not though. :) wow, i'm excited for die another day. james bond is cool. and rick yoon looks like hellraiser. hahahaha.. speaking of rick yoon, my mom told me that lisa ling left the view. apparently, she wants to be a journalist for national geographic. neato. and speaking of magazines.. my dad cancelled our time magazine subscription! ah! he said the renewal fee was too expensive. so now i'm stuck with stupid newsweek. okay, fine, it's not like newsweek is stupid. but i like the articles in time better. they're less news-y. =)
12:30 AM: i'm writing my bio lab. i have part of my introduction, methods and materials, commentary on tables and graphs, and results and discussion left to write. it sounds like a lot, but it isn't.
1:52 AM: okay maybe it is a lot. Sunday, November 17, 2002
so I had my Harvard interview this afternoon and it reminded me of how pathetically uneventful my life was....my interviewer was like "So what would you consider your proudest accomplishment or biggest challenge" and i was like "um....well...this year, I'm taking an AP English class that I did really poorly in at the beginning of the school year, and i had to learn how to ask the teacher for help and learn different approaches in writing...and stuff..." and yes, stuff like that. oh well.
Friday, November 15, 2002
nice. instead of derek zoolander, we can have DEREK TSAI! cause he's so really really ridiculously good looking. and your new style will be....."Derleilict."
i think i'll write about the golden monkey for my maltese quasi-paper. or maybe the fat pig.
it's not really biochemistry, i don't think. what's the difference between organic chemistry and biochemistry? anyway, i was very pleased with myself yesterday for purchasing three pairs of shorts from ae.com at ten dollars each. of course, i'll probably return two of them. but still. i'm going to write some things on paper now.
surprise! hello.
you're taking biochemistry? I'm taking biochemistry. I had a test yesterday. I'm skipping physics right now. Thursday, November 14, 2002
when my interviewers call me, i'm going to say "herro" to them. hm, i think a funny joke to play on everyone would be to call them and say "hi, i'm your alumnus interviewer from _____" and then make up a lot of things to say. see, i would elaborate on this funny thought but i can't think clearly right now. i'm going to go sleep actually. i want to be interviewed. i'm going to tell my college interviewers that my true career aspiration is to become a male supermodel, and that going to their school is just going to be a side hobby for me.
when my cornell interviewer called i thought he was srikar. but apparently he used to be my dad's coworker when my dad worked at bell labs, unless memory serves my parents wrong.
i hate it when strangers call and you say "hello?", and all they say is "hello." back, and you're forced to ask, "Who the heck are you?", although not quite as profane.
aaahahaha... i just made a big fool of myself. so the phone rings and when i pick it up, the person on the other end says, "stephanie?" it sounded EXACTLY LIKE GRACE, so i just said, "hey, what's up?" .. and then it turned out to be my yale alumni interviewer.. hahahahaha.. i was so flabbergasted/discombobulated/confused/etc. what a feeling. i'm never assuming it's any of you guys on the phone ever again. ever.
i'm scared. i don't know the answers to any of the tough questions. oh man. Tuesday, November 12, 2002
hahha.. that was funny. i was kind of scared though.. ms. randall (aka the nazi sub) looked like she was about to explode.
doodoo. hello grace. grace owes me a favor that i have to think of because i know who she likes and will tell everyone if she doesn't comply with my demands. um. i can't go to sleep because my hair is wet. and i have to study for bio. i think i'm going to start writing in my journal again .. sometimes the blog just won't do.
dood... you all should have seen gracee be completely mean and hostile to the substitute today!!!!!!!
gRACEee101: this norton reader thing is TOTALLY USELESS
Im The YAM: ..... Im The YAM: whitten Im The YAM: i know!!!! gRACEee101: who CARES about this?! gRACEee101: i read it, ok, now leave me alone Im The YAM: i wasted like an hour of my life on this Im The YAM: and i'm about to waste another 20 minutes on the damn style thing Im The YAM: how about tomorrow we write a paragraph about writing a paragraph about our notes on our notes on notes on punctuation gRACEee101: hahahhahahahahaa Im The YAM: seriuosly, this lady is INSANE gRACEee101: and its style and coherence and unity, don't forget gRACEee101: i like what derek wrote... Im The YAM: waht did he wte Im The YAM: write gRACEee101: "i think mrs. whitten should strive for conciseness" Im The YAM: haha Im The YAM: she should at least practice what she preaches gRACEee101: i know gRACEee101: let me go waste some more time miche gRACEee101: i just wanted to rant that was me and mickel's venting....slightly modified to take out some meaner things i said. *winkwink* have a goodnight everybody. i haven't posted since like last year. :o)
ah. today has been crappy. just.. really crappy. i felt crappy.. i acted really crappily.. the weather was crappy.. and ahhhhhhh. i hate .. tuesdays. crap is a funny word. i should stop saying it.. it's kind of vulgar.
anyways. we were wondering why you were laughing after you said "niger." it would have been funny if you said.. the bad word. hahahaha.. =) ugh. now i have to go and study biochemistry. STUPID BAD DAY. grr. i want to crawl into a hole and sleep forever and ever. Sunday, November 10, 2002
my parents watch japanese tapes and dvd with chinese subtitles all the time. maybe you'll like them. and derek i think you should shave your head. it's low maintenance, and we can rub your head, too!
ahaha, you think _you_ need a haircut. i can maybe put it in a "nub" in a few more weeks .. hm, i don't think i have time to go have someone cut my hair. maybe i can take a razor and shave my head. maybe not.
so on friday, i almost said a bad word onstage in front of a lot of people during our impromptu praise night. it was this announcement about a guest speaker who had just spent some time doing missionary work in niger .. and i paused before saying the word because it would've been really really bad if i had read it wrong. frances came back! i shared coffee and mint chocolate chip ice cream with her, and it was way too sweet and chocolatey and too many reeses pieces. i don't like eating at friendly's very much. we should invade someone's house next time. i'm going to buy korean dvds. but then my mom says that the asian rental store also has korean dvds and vcds, so i'm going to go see first. but i'm very sure that i'll be getting "il mare" and "my sassy girl" sometime soon .. the former sounds so good. apparently, south korean cinema is overtaking hong kong, which is already past its prime. i want to watch more korean movies. and the good hong kong movies, not those stupid comedies that are on all the time in taiwan. actually, there were a few good ones that i saw .. one called "twelve nights" with eason chan and cecilia cheung. anyway. Saturday, November 09, 2002
jessica tai is the coolest person in the world. we went to see her sectionals meet today.. and she is the coolest person in the world. heehee =) you watch the other people go and you're like, "cool," and then you watch jess and you're like, "WOAH! what was that?!?!?!" it was fun. =) i got really tired though. from.. watching. hahaha. i need to exercise. i feel myself sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of out-of-shape-ness. :P
i really really want to get a haircut. it's so long right now.. i actually have it in a ponytail. or nub. it's more like a nub .. just sticking out the back of my head. gah. i want to chop it off. maybe next weekend. i think i'm going to do some real work now. sigh. the weekend is almost over. :oP Thursday, November 07, 2002
i woke up really late today around 10:15. i actually woke up first around 9, then i didn't feel like getting up so i went back to sleep.
i think age does matter more in tennis than any other sport, especially golf. pete sampras and agassi are only winning at 30 b/c they were so freaking good to begin with. and pete serves and volleys so he doesn't get as tired. i want to see panic room and men in black 2. and i want to watch shaolin soccer again and again and again. i want to see the narcoleptic dog now. maybe i'll find it online.
i want 3 day weeks too, we should have the weekend and wednesdays off cuz then you get a day of sleep right in the middle! i would rejoice over my ingenious idea but its never going to happen so i'll just smile and move on. =)
yeah michael jordan should retire. michelle kwan needs to win, she has an excuse to keep going, but michael jordan's already done everything to do in the world of basketball so why push it?? i think its the same story for pete sampras, except sampras can still win because age doesnt matter that much in tennis. old geezers always kick my butt in tennis. then again, that could also be due to the fact that i stink at tennis. to end on a random note, i saw the ring yesterday. maybe it wasnt as scary as i expected because people always talk about it... the guys i went with were hiding under their jackets though, i kind of thought that was amusing. =D ok so maybe it was really funny. never let hair cover your face completely. especially if your hair is long and black.
yay! 4 day weekend and I'm awake at 9:30 in the morning. I actually woke up an hour earlier, thats how retarded I am. So I rented Panic Room yesterday and watched it home alone. I kept looking around to make sure my doors were locked because I was afraid someone was going to break in and unlike those in the movie... I DONT HAVE A PANIC ROOM! anywho, I also rented Spiderman, which I've already seen, but decided to see again for 3 reasons. 1. Columbia is in the beginning and I love that place! Actually, derk asked me if I wanted to head to ny today. I wanna go, but oh well. I wanna go walk around Columbia and dream about a day when I can be a student. Back to my 3 reasons... 2. Harry Osbourne is hot.. I think his real name is John Franco? I could be really wrong. 3. Tobey Maguire is really hot. yea.
So once again I've managed to write an individualistic post without responding to any of the other posts. I think I'll try to fix that. So about those application things... the Columbia app is printed on such high quality paper while the MIT app is kinda crappy paper. I think I might go to Price club and buy really nice paper for the rest of my app essays. Maybe those admission people will notice the nice paper and be compelled to accept me despite my poor credentials. If this is true, I'm already screwed for MIT. Oh well, we'll all find out in about a month! Michael Jordan is definitely too old. He is the greatest, but if he keeps playing, then retiring, then playing, then retiring, he won't be. He should quit while he's ahead. Sorta like Michelle Kwan. I love her, I idolize her, but I think its time for her to go. It's getting harder and harder for her to compete with people younger than her and even if she is going to try for the Olympics one more time, I'm not sure if third time is really a charm.

narcoleptic dog!!! i saw that clip last year in psych. then my class made the teacher rewind so we could watch it again. and again. its so cute. =D
michael jordan should retire for good. he's old! his knees are bad! he should finish on a good note. early apps should come back in a week. ten days, max. i think thats reasonable, don't you? i have a "cd list" on a post-it (on my computer..). it has six cds on it. whyyyy don't i have moneyy? mm..divine discontentment -- i've been waiting for this album for five years. and i don't think it'll be that good. *cries*
i really wish early apps would come back sooner........i don't wanna write more essays! princeton's app is obnoxious.
i need to use my $60 worth of barnes and nobles gift cards this weekend. maybe i'll get a couple cd's and some early christmas presents.
yeah, the posts on the blog are pretty random. not that that's a bad thing. it makes the blog-reading experience all the more interesting. =)
mwahaha.. four day weekend. i feel empowered. with.. time. brilliant. i propose that we have three day weeks all year long.. instead of five day weeks with super-long breaks in between. vacation withdrawal is much less painful when the vacation is shorter. speaking of vacations.. i can't wait till winter break. it's going to be longer than usual and apps will be (almost) done. yay! and then spring break will be even better. i can't wait. :o) i wonder what i'm going to do this weekend. i'll probably plan on doing lots of stuff and then end up doing lots of sitting around. always a good way to go. ah, the beauty of the teachers convention. wonderful.

this blog is odd. it used to be an ongoing conversation of sorts, but now it's just individualistic posts. you just simply ignore what anyone said before and post your own thoughts. the past four blogs: ketchup song and boogie written many times --> wizards game (that one was my fault) --> korean wannabe --> narcoleptic dog. there's no semblance of any train of thought. before, it would be oh this thing reminds me of something else, etc. anyway, that was just my thought. it doesn't matter, because the next post will be about something completely different anyway. =)
i saw a video with a narcoleptic dachshund today. it was quite possibly the cutest video clip if have ever seen in school. it started by showing this cute little dachshund frolicking around in the grass. then the voice-over guy says: "this is rusty. he is narcoleptic." the dog runs around some more, and then suddenly, he just collapses to the floor asleep. it was so cute! i felt bad for the dog, but it was so cute!! i want a dog. a narcoleptic dog! okay, maybe not. but a dog would be nice. :o)
i should be studying. hmm. Monday, November 04, 2002
i want to be korean. i want to be korean. okay, after watching "my sassy girl" (which i should've watched four months ago in taiwan and picked up the pirated vcd when emily told me to) last week, i've been visiting too many korean sites. some of the better ones: ngtv.net, which has korean commercials and korean commercials and more korean commercials, and i have no idea what "cf" and "ng" stand for; letsmusic.com, which has possibly all the korean music videos i could ever want. i need a high-speed connection. i remember vjzone.com a long time ago and how i was sad when it went away. someone tell me about good korean movies or music videos. i want to be korean.

i saw the wizards-nets game last night! meaning, i was actually there. my friend got free tickets. i've never cheered against new jersey with such fervor. for one thing, it's michael jordan. and also, in the lawlessness up in section 404, i probably would have been killed by crazed public vigilantes if i had cheered for the nets.

so i'm listening to the ketchup song for the first time now. europeans are so funny. on that band trip a couple years ago we had the radio on in the bus all the time, and there were hilarious songs that went like "we can boogie boogie boogie all night looooong...boogie boogie, boogie boogie" over and over again. and those were apparently the hit european songs. how sad.
go NETS!!! |
