Ahh, another Sunday evening alone at Meyer… Went to Seacliff State Beach in Santa Cruz yesterday with Baylight. Hanah and Eddie were there at 7:30 AM to reserve tables for our 12:30 PM party. Wow. I ate a disturbing amount of meat, caught one really good wave on the bodyboard and got *destroyed* by all [...]

Wow, I’m getting old. I’ve had to turn more than once this week to http://www.urbandictionary.com/ in order to look up some unfamiliar word that has somehow slipped into the cultural vernacular without my noticing. Xanga entries everywhere with foreign words: Pwned? Dilligaf? Kthxbye?! What new word have you learned today?
Monday June 21, 2004
Oh man, I think I finally caught up with Xanga entries that I’ve subscribed to. It’s probably weird because I tend to work backwards whenever I get behind, so I’ve commented on entries from weeks ago even though I suspect the author has long forgotten about them (or at least, has long given up hope of [...]

Finally went to the infamous Hing Lung restaurant last night in SF! I love jook (or I guess “congee” though I know not the origin of this peculiar word), and this place makes plenty of it. We were sooo hungry by the time we got there that Kate totally went all out and ordered a crazy-endless-food-coma-inducing feast! [...]

Just got more Gmail invitations. Who wants one? =]

I set up IMAP for email and a wireless router for the first time today. Woohoo! What adventures will lay in store for tomorrow?

Too busy to post, but, uh, here’s one of my favorite web sites! Meenakshi’s Modular Mania (aka summer fun for people with lots of time, and paper)

Finals are over, Meyer library doesn’t open until 1 PM, there’s no consultant on duty, and the sun is out, but desperate students are still finding ways to sneak into the Multimedia Studio to finish their crazy video projects this morning! Will the madness never end? Rumors hold that there were at least two sketchy [...]

If you have extra Stanford Dining points / drinks / snacks that you just don’t know what to do with, please help me restock my cube! Thanks for your kind donations: Sungwoo, Eddie, Matt, David, and random anonymous person who donated a 24-bottle pallet of Go Bananas (TM) Snapple to me! I will be happily hydrated [...]

Major photo updates at http://niftyken.stanford.edu as of 3 AM last night. Life’s gotten complicated enough that I’m starting to wonder how to better organize it for finding the photos you want while continuing to be a manageable site. If you don’t have the username and password, you know who to ask…

Got my Stanford Hospital security badge today! The photo on it seems to portray me with a sickly green tint. Fantastic. The patients I visit will take a look at my half-dead photo and feel better already. I thought it was cute that all the hospital dogs that visit the patients also have little photo ID badges. Also got [...]

My email inbox has mysteriously climbed back up to 1714 messages (999 unread) again. How did this happen?! Just seemingly weeks ago, I remember celebrating the success of having finally sorted through the whole pile (all 5000 or so messages) into folders and reducing the Inbox to less than 10 messages. I think I need one [...]

Somehow I walked out of the Stanford Blood Center today with a Crimson Donor t-shirt (3 time donor in the past year), a Four Seasons Donor Club long-sleeve shirt (4 time donor in the past year), a Stanford Blood Center sew-on patch (uh… no idea), and a Ziggy sticker that says I should feel good [...]

Want *your* 2 GB of email? http://www.aventuremail.com/ Clearly, this is getting out of control. =P Makes me wonder how much space they actually have allocated, considering that most people may never even reach the 1 GB mark. Random thing I learned at tutoring yesterday: one Merriam-Webster definition of the adjective “academic” : “having no practical [...]

Just finished The Da Vinci Code. Wahoo! Anyone ever read Daughter of God?

Egad!! A cockroach? Here?! NO!!!!!!! >_<

Been thinking about life, passion, and purpose, and in particular, this seemingly ambiguous idea of one’s “calling.” Came across an address to members of the military, and despite unfortunate and unacceptable recent events in the news that may have colored many of our perceptions, these words spoke in a way that unexpectedly awakened and humbled me today: [...]

“When angry, count to ten before you speak. If very angry, a hundred.” — Thomas Jefferson. This is seemingly a good rule of thumb even when I’m not angry.

Oh look, a job posting! Wanna be an Academic Computing Student Consultant?

I took in a shipment of new Dells for Meyer classrooms today right at noon. The driver beeped constantly as he backed up slowly onto the delivery ramp, but bikers continued to weave around it, rushing off to wherever, seemingly oblivious or apathetic toward the danger of dancing around a multi-ton vehicle. The driver got visibly upset, [...]

Ever read someone’s Xanga entry, only to discover that it’s no longer there later? Is that creepy?

I made 80+ flash cards to study for my jujitsu exam! I didn’t even do that for a single one of my Stanford classes (or else I’ve buried such memories long ago)! Yikes! Hadaka Jime San? Shika No Itsusoku? Akushu Kotemaki Tori? No problem.

For the next six months, my Shell MasterCard will reward me with a 10% rebate for every dollar I spend at Shell. (It goes down to 5% after six months.) Wow! So if they’re charging $2.25/gallon, I’m effectively paying $2.03/gallon, right? Take that, Arco! Speaking of credit cards, Jeff brought up the perplexing perspective (and I have probably butchered up [...]

I come in the office this morning, and suddenly I have three possibilities for this summer: Roadtrip to LA to visit friends and test drive the Prius, trip to Australia to visit my brother and some family friends and kangaroos, or possibly a very lonely but all-travel-expenses paid trip to Bermuda. Hmm… which door prize will [...]
