I'm preparing for what is going to be a week of hell. I've got a shitload of work to do. Most importantly, PAPERS! Argh, I hate writing papers. I think I will try to get all of my readings done tonight and work on the papers tomorrow. Both of my papers are due Friday, but I also have to study for an Economics quiz on Thursday so I need to have my papers written up before the beginning of the week. Spring Break....where are you? I need you!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a good week. This is definitely not a good week. I did HORRIBLE on my analysis for business. It's only a rough draft and THANK GOD for that. According to my professor, I would've scored about a 3-5 out of 15. I kinda expected really bad reviews, since I did it in a day or two and I was sick outta my mind when I did it. It's a bad excuse, but what can I say? I gotta get things rolling if I want to graduate this semester. Study for Economics, start my Asian Studies paper. Argh, I want A's in all of my classes! It's not going to happen, but at least B's or something.....sheesh.

Damn, I have to clean my room. This is really, really bad. I kinda wanna turn on the heat since there's a breeze in my room. I think my room is more cluttered than dirty. I've got all types of CDs (audio, CDR, CDRW) all over the place. The entertainment center and computer areas are covered in dust, although they are used all the time. Blah, gotta clean and do my homework...and eat :)

I had a really freaky dream early this morning. It woke me up around 3AM. It was freaky in that it was very odd. Scared me, even. I had a hard time falling back to sleep. Well, I don't really want to talk about it since the possibility of it actually happening isn't out of the question. It does have something to do with war, though.

It's so damn cold outside! I don't know why I bother coming to class. I guess it's good for me to go out. Plus I get to eat. I mean, there is food at home, too, it's just that sometimes I forget to eat when I'm in front of the computer. That's a habit I really need to break.

Anyway, I finally saved up over 200K and bought that Baby Paintbrush. Yay! I have a Baby Quiggle. Now all I need is a Spardel. Here is a picture of Brodie, my baby Quiggle:



I'm hoping to now give him a pet. A spardel. I don't know what I'll name it, but I'll think of something:

I think my jaw is just sore from not being used as much, as in not eating. I had a hard time fitting my mouth around a meatball sandwich. So yeah, I know why my mouth hurts. Well, the blisters and wisdom teeth are still a pain when I eat, but at least I can still eat. Just gotta grimace every now and then.

1.) Work on paper for Tale of Genji
2.) Study for Economics.....really

Oh yeah, I gotta call mcafee.com and tell them to stop charging me for services I'm not using. I need money. I really need money. I don't think I should've won that auction for a lot of Angelina Jolie magazines. I am insane. No, obsession is not healthy.

Tuesday, February 25, 2003

Oh yeah, forgot about updates. I'm working on the Rape of Nanking section, but that is not up yet. I'll probably need another week before I put it up. I don't think I'll cover what happened entirely since there are lots of sites that do that already.

I finally ate something. Before, the main was mostly on the right side of my mouth. Blister and wisdom teeth. It seems like the pain is also starting on the left side as well. It could just be sore from me chewing on that side all the time. I don't know. I just hope I'm all healed up by my next speech. I don't know if I'll be able to do better on my next speech if my wisdom teeth are acting up on me.

Something I forgot to mention yesterday, but this week is Giant Robot week on the Cartoon Network. Martian Successor Nadesico and Neon Genesis Evangelion are the two anime that are part of the block. I also managed to catch Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. I'm getting into DBZ again, the Majin Buu saga is really interesting. I should finish the Saiyaman series (which I stopped waaaay before Cartoon Network started showing anything past Ginyu Force) and try to watch the entire DBZ saga. I know, I know..no time...plus I need to catch up on Economics.......

I bombed my Economics quiz today. It's such a horrible feeling. I haven't eaten yet. It's hard b/c every time I try to move my mouth, it's such a task. It just hurts so bad! I have to study for Economics b/c it looks like I'm going to have to rely on passing the final in order to get by with a passable grade. Hmm...I almost forgot about my classes tomorrow. I know I have some BAW361 homework.... everyone did remind me about it. Guess I better start that now.......

I have a few minor things to fix on the page, so if some stuff is screwy, you know why.... I may even get rid of the div scroll. Sounds like a good idea, no? Ah, gotta get ready for school....

New layout. Hoo-ray.

Sick, sick, sick. After I posted this morning, I got the chills and went back to sleep. I woke up to watch Girl, Interrupted and went to the store to buy junk food and ice cream. Not a good idea when you are sick and it's raining outside. My mouth had been dry the whole day and I was feenin' for some ice cream. I ended up buying donuts, some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Breyer's Vanilla ice cream. I let the kids eat the donuts. I can't really chew food, I gotta eat soft stuff b/c of my wisdom teeth which are KILLING ME! To add to that, I have this HUGE blister where my wisdom teeth keep rubbing against. It's hard enough to have to move my jaw.

So anyway, I watched Girl, Interrupted, Halloween, and Gone in 60 Seconds. I did work on my draft, didn't just watch movies all day. Well, I did, but that was b/c I was in bed, I was tired, fatigued, cold all the time, irritable, coughing, sneezing, etc, etc. All the bad stuff. I'm glad I don't have my period. That would just make things 100x worse.

About Gone in 60 Seconds, it was my first time watching it. It's not the greatest movie, but it had some really good action scenes in the end. AJ was...okay. Freaked me out, her scenes w/Nic Cage. Ewwww.

Ah, I have 5 more pages to do. Darn, this is taking forever. I want to finish it tonight and turn it in so I can relax and be sick all of Sunday (which is actually today).

Saturday, February 22, 2003

I made some progress on my draft last night. I looked at company financial reports to use as a template and to give me an idea of how my writing should go. Basically, I have a whole day of number crunching to do. That majorly bites.

I moved the car this morning. I woke up, looked out the window, and saw a parking space. It's raining outside, really dreary day. I guess they know I have lots of work to do. Anyway, I wanted to move it last night b/c I didn't want to have it outside of some person's house the whole day, which it did yesterday. It's nice of my dad to think of other people.

Speaking of my dad, he's on his way to the Philippines. We all knew he was going on a trip, but we never really addressed it. I wonder if he used the money for the Talon to fund the trip? Oh well. I guess it'll be worth it. He'll be gone for about 5 weeks. It's so weird. I feel like I'm the "man" of the house, except that everyone is taking care of me b/c I'm still so very sick and miserable.

So far, it's been a month into the semester. Here is a breakdown of where the classes rank in terms of difficulty (all of my classes I consider difficult, but some more than others):

1.) Economics 250 - My professor is a really difficult grader. According to someone who had him before, I am going to have to write a frickin' essay if I want to get something better than a D+. The upside to this class is that going to it isn't mandatory and if you don't do well on all the quizzes (he drops the lowest grade), your last chance is the final in which it may count for 100% of your grade.

2.) Business Administration W361 - I guess what makes this difficult is the importance of class participation. I think it is mostly b/c I don't feel comfortable within that classroom that I rarely raise my hand. It's also that it seems that everyone is quick to answer that I sometimes don't get a chance. Another factor is the comprehensive report that I've been moaning about for the past few days. I'm not a very business-oriented person. Although I should be, considering I'm in business school and I may want to do something like consulting for a computer company. Eh, we'll see.

3.) Speech Communication - I think what makes this class difficult is the research. I'm also going through a lot of uncertainty about my term topic. Sometimes I wish I had chosen a topic like war atrocities. Then I could show all of those pictures of mangled bodies and whatnot. Anyway, this class isn't that bad, and luckily, I feel like I am up to date. I had rushed my proposition of fact outline b/c stupid me, I thought spring break was this week!

4.) Management Information Systems W301 - So far, it's been smooth. I think the hardest part will be the examination on ERD diagrams, which I am very rusty with.

5.) Asian Studies - This is only last b/c I haven't written a paper yet. That should be coming up soon, though.

I can't wait until Monday is over and past so I can stop stressing about the draft. It's a draft for crying out loud! ARgh! Why do I do this to myself? I think procrastination and my sickness had a big part in why I am doing this so late. I mean, how can I work on a 10 page report if I can't even think straight? I hate to sound like a baby, but it was hard. This reminds me of my freshman year in which I searched all over Old City for a book of maps for countries that don't even exist anymore. I had a project for my Honors World History class. Sister was nice enough to accept it about 1 or 2 weeks late. I had a MAJOR fever that time, too, and there I was, all over Center City.

Ah, well. Enough ranting. I should be getting back to work, I have tons of it to do....

OMG, I am soooo sick....this morning, a cab was supposed to pick up my dad and take him to the airport. They never came. My dad ended up driving to the airport and I had to drive back home. He's lucky b/c his flight was changed to an earlier time. Ticket was nonrefundable. Anyway, I'm not going to school today. I still have to work on my BA assignment which I never got to b/c I was always feeling like shit. Hopefully, I'll have it done by tonight so I can worry about my Economics quiz on Tuesday.

Layout change pending.... I have a few ideas and I'm TRYING to stray from Angelina Jolie for once....

1.) Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie
2.) Shoujo Kakumei Utena (again)
3.) Bjork (she has TONS of great pictures)
4.) Hikaru no Go
5.) Shirley Manson
6.) Dead Kennedys
7.) Michelle Branch
8.) FLCL

I had a very weird day today. I'm so glad we got an extension for the rough draft. I really needed it b/c I've been sick since the week started. I am caught up on my Tale of Genji readings, so I'm glad for that. I want to start the draft, but it's so hard to get it started. Rrrrrr, I need a new layout.....

This is really bad... I am at a complete standstill...no idea what to write...well, I have an idea, but I'm also still very tired, sick, and woozy. I can't keep putting it off! Okay, promise to self: WORK ON BA DRAFT THAT IS DUE FRIDAY!!!!! I'm such a nutcase, I actually thought spring break was going to be next week, which is why I got a head start on the proposition of fact speech outline. oh well. less work for me then :T I wish the DRAFT THAT IS DUE THIS FRIDAY was pushed back b/c of the storm....not that that's a good reason or anything...just that I'm sick and it's hard to sit at a computer staring blankly wondering how to start it off. I guess that goes for all papers, though. The first few lines are always the toughest. I gotta finish it though! I hate being behind! Argh! Oh, reminds me, I should pick up more books for info for my speech. Just b/c the books I already have didn't really focus much on advertising, mostly aggression and effects. I only have two points, but I think the limit is 6-7 minutes. What else to do? Oh yeah, call my sister and get the album back..I'll do that Thursday. Tomorrow...I have BA361, MIS301, and Asian Studies. Didn't finish reading Tale of Genji...up to assigned chapter. It's dragging really bad. It's not as interesting as Monkey was. Ah well.

damn, i hate being sick! argghhhhh...so much harder to do work when you are sick.... i'm actually trying to study javascript some more for no reason....i really really want to learn php....really really do. i'm not in the mood to do more programming stuff...gotta wait until spring break...i also didn't get to do the tic tac toe visual basic project i wanted to do b/c of the whole mess up with my grade. kinda lost the desire. oh well, back to doing work.

Funny, I think my sound card is acting up on me. Why is it that when I try to watch hi-res anime like Hikaru no Go or Getbackers, the animation and audio timing is off. I hate that. It's something I want to fix. I guess by either buying a new video and/or sound card or by just reformatting the whole computer (which I don't really want to do b/c of driver issues).

Things to do:

Print out speech outline
Study for Economics quiz on Tuesday
Read Tale of Genji
BA Draft due Friday
MIS Project



Fucking people..... I'm sick of these fucking teenagers and fucking asian kids who think raving is the best thing in the world. Raving and glowsticks are the gayest fucking thing ever. I'm not even going to talk about the music.......

Monday, February 17, 2003

shit..I just noticed I said "Fluffy" as a guardian force..for those familiar with Harry Potter and Final Fantasy 8, "Fluffy" is what I named Cerberus ^__^

Yay! I finally got Outlook to work w/my DNS! Woohoo! Now, I gotta learn all the CGI, PHP, stuff, just b/c I should be putting my site to good use. I have databases to work with, too. It's that I've got limited experience w/PHP...mostly easy beginner stuff. I've had classes in ASP using databases and MS Frontpage, but cyberpixels does not like Frontpage and it doesn't support ASP. That sucks. Oh well. I'm excited. I just hope I don't mess anything up like when I changed my directory in UNIX b/c I was screwing around with scripts.

Reminders to self:

Work on BA assignment - draft due Friday;
Read assigned chapters for Tale of Genji
Economics quiz on Thursday
MIS project....?
Proposition of Fact speech outline

whoa, looks like i got a shitload of work to do.... i kinda wasted my weekend...just relaxing....and in pain. Gotta get back on track. Hmm..better check my fanlistings..

Joined a ton of fanlistings... trying to get Outlook Express to work...damn you Microsoft...damn my feeble brain....

Damn you Ruby Dragons and Bahamut! WTF? I gotta kill 2 Ruby Dragons and Bahamut right after each other? They each got over 50K HP! Second time fighting, I got lucky and Odin's Zentetsuken helped me take out the first Bahamut. The second one was still a battle, but I managed to beat it. Finally, when it was time for the show, I was down to Squall who had about 2 GFs who were still alive and were mainly for defense (IE, Carbuncle, Fluffy). Curaga's weren't helping since Squall had Auto-Shell. After about the fourth time, I gave up. Do it some other time. I'll beat them eventually.

Daaaammmnnnn....so much snow outside! No classes tomorrow. Why couldn't it snow on a more busier day for me, like Friday? That way I could have a 3 day vacation before spring break. Oh well :T I don't know if I'm that excited that I'll start playing in the snow. Yeah right. I have to work on my Business Administration homework.

It sucks that the computer is near the heater. It's blasting heat on me nonstop! rrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

New Wallpapers

Wooooooowwwww....snow.....great o_O

Okay, the stylesheets are working. Four new wallpaper up. I didn't work too hard on these. Actually, I think for some, I took a total of only 10-15 minutes, give or take. I'm tired, tired, tired. I should get to do school work today. Hopefully.

This is so annoying. How come my stylesheets aren't working? Argh! This is starting to piss me off...wtf?

gah! I wonder why my archives aren't working? i hate this blogger....

I just saw a really great movie on IFC today, ....But I'm a Cheerleader. It's a film about coming to terms with one's sexual identity. I thought it had everything..good acting, great cinematography, awesome music....Brilliant. I'm still trying to figure out how to bring the other stuff from my geocities site over here. I don't know if I want to. I think I may make a subdomain for the wallpapers. Not sure x.x Blah.

...

I had like no sleep this morning. The kids were watching Sweet Home Alabama so I got to catch a little of that. It was okay, except for the cheesy ending. Slept for about 2 hours. Ate dinner, played about 3-4 hours of FF8. Well, not really. More like 2 or less, just felt like a long damn time. Oh yeah, there was a really good documentary on Akira Kurosawa on the Independent Film Channel. After was Dario Argento, I think a macabre horror film director.

About the site, I'm having a lot of issues that I don't think I want to fix. One is the fanlistings. I don't know if I should move all of the images to the new hosting... not to mention emailing and updating all the fanlisting sites. CRap. Maybe I should just start off new? Yeah, maybe that's what I'll do. Just add another link to the other clique/fanlisting page.

Friday, February 14, 2003

Reading this? Look at the time... that's how long it took to get all this up. Well, I also did homework at the same time. Just to remind myself, I have to clean up the splash image, put up the rest of the links, add CSS page to limit coding and a lot of frustrations, make a new guestbook, get PAngel's subdomain up and running. Hmm...what else? What about homework? Work on Proposition of Fact speech, MIS project, Tale of Genji, Economics quiz Thursday, Bus Admin quizzes and readings. Note to self: buy more lightbulbs! Er, deposit money orders @ bank. I need $$$$$! I need a new video card!

[msanthropickatizational]

Damn.... I just did this layout a few hours ago and I already hate it. What the fock? grrrr...... livers is a whore.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Um, if you're looking at this, not all the links are working. I have thought about using PHP to make everything easier. Or just stick the CSS codes in a separate file, but I'd still have to change each and every file anyway. Just go to my geocities page on the splash. Thanks!

Woohoo! I finally got this thing to work! I'm the stupidest one there is!

>_<

what's happening?

this is gay

work please
