I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend Battlestar Galactica to everybody, especially people who have not been lucky enough to experience the superior character drama that can come from science fiction. One of my top three television shows of all time (and Time Magazine's top #1 of 2004, if that means more to anybody).

My internet is broke :-(

Back to North Carolina tomorrow morning in the bright 'n' early. Today we saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and went ice-skating in Tai Koo Shing. As Amanda says, it is a sexy movie. And once she mentioned it, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jenifer Aniston throughout the whole thing. Not like I really care. She's got money and stuff. I however, have ( Read more... )

You guys...

Getting drunk at Bard = WAAAY more fun than getting drunk in Hong Kong. (Still fun though).

Back in the states on Tuesday. Eagerly anticipating being able to breathe again without feeling like I need gills.

Saturday I had to work most of the morning and some of the afternoon to understand and squash rumors about me and the things I like/don't like to talk about on the radio. As with probably all rumors, this one wasn't started with any kind of malicious intent. But it'd be swell if people just confessed to fucking up ( Read more... )

Tonight I picked up the guitar after people left my room and started moving my left hand along the neck to start getting it more used to the thing. After a while the fingers went numb and I just kept going. Then I stopped, and they're not numb anymore. I'm therefore typing this entry entirely with my right hand; I think I'm bleeding internally ( Read more... )

On Monday, at 5:30 in the big room in the downstairs of the language center, there will be a lecture by a man who, for a year and a half, attempted to make a living buying, making, and selling digital property on Ultima Online, a game which I was personally familiar with for over four and a half years. He wrote an article in Wired Magazine in 2002 ( Read more... )
