Hehe, good weekend. It was raining friday, so Wes gave me a ride to school and I spent the night at michelle's; a good, but not atypical day. Saturday, however, we got up at 6am so we could get to temecula for our skydiving. Thus trav, michelle, and I all did tandem jumps (which means you're attached to a real skydiver who does all the work). It was quite fun, and we have cool and very expensive DVDs of our trip to show it. Afterwards, Michelle and I figured we were far south enough that a trip to San Diego was in order. Somehow we missed SD and ended up at the border. So we found a place to park and took the shuttle to tijuana, around 2 oclock i think. The plan was to go drinking early afternoon, her only moderately so she could sober up by the time we went home that night, and me getting utterly plastered, since she still feels i haven't quite gotten drunk enough yet.
So first we hit up a dinosaur themed bar and i had a corona (not tasty) and 1.5 margaritas (strawberry was very tasty, pineaplle less so), michelle having the other beer and the other half of the margarita, and we each had a shot of tequila. We wandered around a little more, constantly being propositioned by mexican guys calling us honeymooners and suggesting we'd love their respective bars/stripclubs/pharmacies. we went to a strip club (michelle wanted to see if i'd like it; i coulda told her i wouldn't beforehand, but just to be sure, i figured experimentation was in order) where i had two very expensive shots while an unattractive mexican girl revealed to the audience that she had two (2) nipples. then we found another bar, where I had 2 long islands, michelle hte other, and each another shot. we headed to an italian place and had pizza (and a pina colada for myself), then found one more bar where i had 2 more shots and 1.5 margaritas. I was pretty much at my limit, and it was starting to get dark (about 5 oclock), so we headed out. took more than an hour to take the shuttle back (mucho traffico), and then we went to a mcdonalds to get some water (which i was very much in need of). we hung out in her car for another hour, and by then she was ready to go. i lasted about 30 min, but then slept most of the way back. A very, very good weekend.

MightyBobX: were you expecting an ARI article "in moral defense of climax control"?
TheDarkImpLord: hehe. that would be an amusing article
MightyBobX: "one of the requirements of mans' life is his ability to use his mind to produce what he needs to survive; another one is to get it on!"

MightyBobX: hehe, the ARI describes atlas as a mystery story
goldenpants78: dagny's in a race against time in this modern thriller
MightyBobX: "she uncovers hidden secrets, special powers, and must fight to save the country she loves from the man she desires!"
goldenpants78: special powers?
MightyBobX: in little crates
goldenpants78: the force be with you, dagny
MightyBobX: "Map revealed!"
goldenpants78: "Unit Firepower Upgraded"
MightyBobX: "Nuclear axiom detected!"
goldenpants78: "An allied premise is under siege!"

some of you have heard me complain about the Jay-Z/Linkin Park compilation. They didn't work together on a song, they just took Linkin Park's "Numb" and Jay-Z's "Encore" and cut and pasted them together. This shows how completely and utterly devoid of content these songs are: they have completely unrelated meanings; numb is linkin park's usual bitching about how mean everything is, and encore is jayz's usual talking about hoes and how hot he is and how great being a rapper is. Sure, the sound is ok, but these bands might as well admit lyrics are just filler. Further, I've learned they made a whole album with songs just like this; linkin park song + jayz song = intellectual disaster. Ugh. I wish they'd never existed.

...That is, i wished they'd never existed, until i found out they did a papercut + big pimpin' combo. See? Even out of pure evil can arise something wonderful. for those of you who have the slightest inkling of not being a homo, it's called "big pimpin-papercut", or i can send it to you over aim.

haha, some stupid diamond commecial: "this anniversary... tell her 'i forever do'"

you'll all be thrilled to know that i tried some more smoking with michelle and it failed miserably. so rest easy; i think i got 4 people issuing stern reproaches upon my previous announcement of anticipation

I want "fuck a duck" to mean "go get 'em" or "go all out", or something those lines. I don't know why... but it seems like it should. You have to say it in a positive "you're the man, you can do it" kind of way.

tim burton + stop-motion + depp + carter = sex0r

Yay for michelle.

Last night was sweet. Not like anything crazy happened; Michelle, Bryan (her friend from the Bruin Republicans and our ride), and I went to the bruin republican inaugural party at club Bliss in west hollywood, and we just had a good time drinking and socializing. A bit pricy (I split michelle's $80 tab and Bryan's $40 parking ticket), but it was pretty fun and worth it. got back to her place and was in no condition to drive, so spent the night there.

And do not subversively and ridiculously falsify the record by blaming America first and capitalism alone."
-Professor Allen (friend David Lazar's econ professor)

oh my god. fucking history channel is having an episode of Modern Marvels about what animals make. how much more could you bastardize something that's supposed to be about the glory of man's mind? christ, that's offensive. it compares human ingenuity to apes using sticks, huge drilling machines to naked mole rats, new york city to prairie dog towns. just go die already.

you know how president harrison died really soon after entering office? he died because he got pneumonia from a cold he got because he insisted on giving a 2 hour inaugural speech on a cold day with no hat or coat because he wanted to show everyone how healthy he was

"The Divinyls - I Touch Myself" is a hot song. I realize i've described songs that way before, so i feel i should specify what i mean. i don't just mean they use dirty/suggestive phraseology; i mean these songs are seriously romantic. sometimes they're a bit over the top in parts (yes yes, in I Touch Myself, we all get a laugh during the voice-over in the middle where she says "I love you; i honestly do; and when i think about you, i touch myself... ooh... oooooh.... ooooooh"), but overall they really make you think of triumphant "guy wins the girl, and they're kissing for the first time while the camera spins". A lot of people would say physically suggestive songs ("i touch myself", "meet me in the red room", etc) are not romantic, but i'll wager all these people possess an unhealthy belief in the mind-body dichotomy.

hehe, i never thought it'd feel weird to wear underwear

hehe, during the period of the french revolution, when french royalty got married, on their wedding night the court would come and watch the couple have sex just to make sure they could conceive an heir.

Man, freaking sweet day. Went to the beach with michelle, had a great time there, went back to her place, had a great time there, watched Collateral (the one with tom cruise highjacking the taxi driver), and that was pretty cool. All in all, as smooth a day as can be. Yay! Didn't get as much math done as i wanted, but who the fuck cares. Hehe, and there's this sign in redondo beach. You know the yellow diamond signs with the pedestrian crossing the street, so black stick figure with a couple of parallel black lines at the bottom? I saw one that had fallen 90 degrees to the left, so the black lines lined up with the pole it was hanging from, and it looked like he was walking down the pole. "Slow: spiderman crossing". Hehe, and michelle has been talking about wanting to smoke for almost a week now, and today she was gonna have one when we got back from the beach, and i wanted one too. Dunno why, when i had that drag a few months ago it was terrible. We ended up forgetting about it, but i still kinda want one. Not gonna let myself buy them, though, no matter what. For even if they're delicioius, they're still pretty bad for you.

Haha, dear christ. A group project by fuzzy, ben, and myself; prolly only jon and alden will appreciate it, possibly (but doubtfully) thayer.

Friday night, i ought to be hworking, but i've been pretty sleepy all evening, and gaming instead. but now i've turned all the lights on, so while they're waking me up, i'll blog.

"Gamers are everywhere and they're everyone. They are your friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, and kids, they lead responsible and caring lives, balancing their enjoyment of interactive entertainment with many other activities important to a well-rounded lifestyle," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the ESA. "They feed your pets, wash your cars, do your laundry; they guard you while you sleep. DO NOT FUCK WITH THEM"
Seriously though, this article is kinda stupid. they've successfully learned that gamers (one kind of nerd) are often other kinds of nerds as well, such as being in the band, going to church, being highly political, and volunteering. not to mention a lot of them are skinny, as well as fat. can you beweeve it?

Anywya, got drunk for the first time last night, and it is totally sweet. you don't really lose consciousness at all, just everything becomes really delayed, so you get to start enjoying things before you've even realized they've happened. i had a bunch of rum and coke / shots of malibu rum at michelle's, then we went with pat and jon to benihana's and she slipped me anotehr 4 shots of sake. it took me a little while to get down the timing of not talking during other people talking, and to stop mentioning things i was apparently repeating over and over (i was being a bit overanalytical of my condition; i'm such a good geek); so with michelle's aid, i managed not to be obnoxious and really enjoyed myself. had to use jon and michelle to walk straight a few times (jon was even courteous enough to escort me to the restroom), but no harm done. we pretty much agreed that i was being much more articulate (save for a little slurring), and i think it relates to me planning on talking for several seconds before i could actually get around to it, so i was taking more time to choose my words. interestingly enough, there were several spans of time i couldn't remember at the time (i remember mentioning to michelle i couldn't remember driving to santa monica), but this morning i could remember everything fine. i drank a bunch of water when i got home, so no hangover this morning. all in all, no negative consequences and loads of fun. yay for alcohol.

anywya, the light is working wonders, so i'll get going on that hw

Hehe, fun night. Jon, Ben, and Harmony drove out to LA to visit Pat and I. we ate dinner at BJ's (with michelle), drove through horrible traffic to get to my apartment, and went to the store to get some snacks. We watched a hilarious episode of MST3k involving samson (the silver masked-man, a mexican wrestler destined to protect the innocent) and vampire women (who employ their own vampire thug/wrestlers who use karate). Then came the best part: for a couple hours we messed around in my room, first throwing the basketball to each other, then doing it one handed, then throwing it with our feet (at this point it's just me and jon), then heading it around the room, then tossing wesley's 30lb dumbell, then punching the basketball. in the process we probably only made enough noise to piss everyone off and broke only one picture and a couple random things aroudn my room, with several misses on the computer and other valuables. it was so sweet. <being a guy is great> <likes seeing his friends>
michelle finally has internet! so now i get to chat with her a bit more, though i'd still like to call her more than i'm used to calling people; me likes talking with her

depression => blogging

let's see. vacation was pretty good. started out kinda irritating with my motorcycle accident and trying to get a bunch of things done at once, but it worked out. saw fuddy duddy, got presents for everyone, spent some good time with michelle and we decided to be a couple. the rest was pretty good; more or less non-stop having everyone over either for gaming or movies or tv or just hanging out really late. learned some cards, played a little bball. it was just nice always having friends around. i don't like doing anything by myself. watching tv, playing games, working, it doesn't matter; i like having people to share it with. missed michelle a bunch, but otherwise, things were about perfect.
back to school things haven't been bad. my classes look OK, professors look good. load is a little high (at least for a lazy person like myself), but i'll try and stay on it. other stuff ain't so great. i'm already missing everyone and the stuff we do. this weekend was gonna be pretty great, but the storms cancelled the ski trip michelle and i were gonna go on, and some other stuff has gotten in the way of us spending time together this weekend. so waah waah, i'm all alone. ben's not gonna be online much since he's at home this quarter, and he was my most reliable source of conversation. bleh. that's enough whining for now; though i've always got more if you want it :)

Burt Rutan, talking about the kinds of activities he's planning for his 8-passenger sub-orbital trips:
"Instead of shoulder harnesses and tight seatbelts we want this roller coaster-type bar that you fold out of the way and you can float around," Rutan said. "We think that's important. If you want the view, we have handles there so you can float over and put your nose right against your own window. Or if you want to pull down your science tray and do whatever you brought along for an experiment, or play with your cat - you have bought the ride, you paid for it. This experience is going to have very few restrictions on what you can do because these payloads are doing it for fun and every person has a different idea of what fun is. Does that mean that some guy and his girl might want to take the whole ship? OK!"
