Jimmy Kimmels Response to Matt and Sarah

just get on with it

One of the things that annoy the most is people whining about school. I am taking a pretty heavy load by all standards so I can speak about it. I took a quiz this morning in my strategic management class. It was a little like a midterm. Four definitions and a small case study. How hard is this? Not really. Do you have to study much for it if you paid attention in class? Not at all. I was annoyed that people were bitching about it after the fact. It was a waste of time and I don't think it was necessary for my professor to explain herself. I thought it was a good quiz, and that's by my lazy-ass standards. How do you people solve problems when you get a real job?

I parked next to one of these today

Yeah I still want it.

long days....

school has been long... I don't know why... I'm not too stressed but it just drags a little... *shrug*

my window is open

It's been a long time since I opened my window. This winter is long. I'm trying to do things differently this time around. I'm tired of feeling stale.

I had a meeting at work this morning. It was probably the most productive meeting I've ever been to. Half the people were painting the room, and I lead the other half into a crop session. That's right. Cropping. I think we ended with with about 8 layouts this morning. In two hours. We're pretty efficient. It's funny I have all the material in my room. The good stuff. And I've only done two layouts. I don't know what holds me back. Having other people make them and encouraging them is fun. They were reluctant at first, didn't know what to do. I just told them, there's no right answer, just put down what you feel is good. They did. And it turned out great. How come nobody ever really said that to me before? I feel like I don't have that sort of encouragement. I always want to do things the "right" way, and I end up not working on it at all. I tried to be a perfectionist, and I give up when I can't get it perfect.

Having done something and learn from it is better then not doing it at all.

Health Surcharge

This little ACLU video showed a couple of things. 1) The convergence of technology increasingly infringes on personal privacy and liberty. 2) User interface will be equally as bad or worse in the future.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

This issue was on This American Life a while back. A flotilla of garbage in the middle of nowhere. Imagine traveling to the end of the world and end up at the garbage pit of the world. It's sad. Makes me want to recycle.

Arabic T Shirt = back of the plane for you!

So a reporter from Iraq decided to wear a t-shirt that has Arabic on it. He was promptly assigned a seat as far away from the cockpit as possible and was insulted. So does that mean when I wear a Chinese t-shirt mothers have to pull their kids away from me because they think I'll give them lead filled toys? This is ridiculous. Anti-Americanism. We earned it.

Lieberman Has “Superdelegate” Status Stripped

Aaahhh... Zig-Zag Zell comes back to haunt Lieberman.... Sad really. I really would rather Lieberman keep his status. Not all people who looks across the isle backs complete idiots. Unfortunately this is one of the few places where these zealots sees in black and white and nothing in between.

and as Jon said....

They made history by putting the stupidest shit on air ever. So apparently there was this feud thing between Colbert, Conan and Stewart. I couldn't help but to download all three shows on the night of 2/4/08.... The fight went on from show to show... it was pretty awesome and ridiculously stupid at the same time. I'm still waiting for the day when Chuck Norris comes back to kick Conan's ass again... There's a reason to that.... since Chuck Norris CAN NOT be made, none of those guys can claim they made anything at all....

why I look forward to thursdays... or any other day for that matter....

Thursdays I have a pretty bad class schedule actually. Class at 10:30 for an hour and a half and then another class at 3 for about 3 hours. Not only that, I have to get on campus about 2 hours early to find parking. I look forward to it because it forces me to create time. I have two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. I have an upper and a lower bound, and I have to fill it with something. Granted I always spend a huge chunk of time everyday messing around with my site and look through random things online (thanks google reader and digg), but what else have I got to do? Homework and such. I've created another habit of late. This is the one day I need to have lunch on campus. All the other days I can dine at home. This is downtown San Jose. I have a three hour lunch. That adds up to me trying to find a nicer place to eat. Funny thing is I always find myself at Cafe Pomegranate week after week. If I can find something just as healthy and at a sit-down dining venue, I probably would be there. But every time I walk by the smell of kabobs lures me in.... It's a habit I'm not interested in shaking.

happy new year

Yeah I know we're a week into February, but most people forget I'm Chinese. So celebrate my new year dammit!

I made a few changes to the site. Took out some outdated links, added new ones, put in more ads so I can make a nickel a month.

So what else... oh yeah, I'm at school two hours before class so I can find parking. Good times, no? Feels like a Friday, but it's only Thursday. Suppose I should try to get some work done anyway.

One of my potential assignments for one of my classes is to make a blog.... so um.... there you go. =p

I can hear now....

So I went into work on Friday and I happened upon a pair of tickets for Foo Fighters. I'm not going into details, but it's unexpected to say the least, and I owe people some favors. Good thing I have a couple of Starbucks cards with sufficient balance.

I'm glad I decided to fill up the tank on Tuesday, it was very helpful. The trek up to Oakland isn't very far, but the traffic was bleh... Plus it was dark and rainy... not a very good combination.

I had very good seats, well it was a box, so it was pretty damn good. Food and drinks were provided, but the thing I'm most impressed about was the private bathroom. Oh man... if you've ever been to a concert with a couple of beers in you.... you know what I mean....

It was a very fun time indeed. It was one of the most entertaining concerts I've been to. I knew pretty much every song, even the new stuff. They played all my favorites all the way back to my high school days... that's a while back. The stage was across the arena, and there was a catwalk all the way down the center where the mosh pit usually would be (it was split in two). Dave Grohl would run up and down the catwalk, that was pretty cool. I have a couple of photos of that. When it came to the acoustic set, they lowered a circular platform in the middle, and played in the middle of the arena. Which makes my seats even better. Have you ever heard a triangle solo? We did, and it rocked.

I suggest watching the Long Road To Ruin video. See that tshirt the girls are wearing? I almost got one of those. lol.... I got this one instead, with the tour locations on the back.
