Isn’t it funny how instead of trying to argue that global warming isn’t happening, now the climate change/global warming skeptics are trying to argue that there were errors in “An Inconvenient Truth,” and things aren’t that dire. Really? So if whole cities aren’t underwater then we don’t have a problem?! And anyways, [...]
The “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” lecture from Professor Randy Pausch, who has been diagnosed with metastasized cancer, was very moving (via Gene Weingarten’s chat and churumuri). Well worth the time. Although why’d he have to dog on Berkeley?! :P
First 8 minutes or so are introductions if you wish to skip those.
Dude, I was gonna talk (ramble, whatever) about something but I totally forgot. It’s cos I’m hungry! But I don’t know what I wanna eat, I’m indecisive.
Speaking of hunger though, the other day I was meeting misa for lunch, and I got to the place a little faster than she did, so I [...]
The girl in front of me in line ordered an egg salad sandwich on toast. Her friend decided that it sounded good and said, “I’ll have what she’s having.” They paid together, then, on their way out, I heard, “How are we going to tell which one is which?”
Also, pumpkin spice lattes are [...]
I was standing outside when I heard some college students talking about their plans for this weekend. It sounded like they were planning a party of some sort, cos one of them said, “… get some microbrews, and a couple of cheeses, some fruit, and maybe some wine…” And all I could think was, [...]
This summer, I’ve felt more earthquakes than ever before in my life. Well, maybe not counting the years in Taiwan; I’m not remembering anything but then again it could’ve been such a common occurrence that I didn’t notice. Also I was young. But last night there was a 2.something one, and just [...]
Yut and I were at the airport today (coming back from visiting his ‘rents) walking to our gate when we passed some people. I said, “Oooh did you see her shoes? They were cute!” He said, “No, but did you see that guy? He had a DS Lite!” Neither of [...]
I noticed that when Yut’s gone, I start sharing my bed with books. I dunno how, but first there’s like just one book, which isn’t really that unusual, but then there were a couple and now there’s four. So even though I have the whole bed to stretch out in, somehow I still [...]
Woke up to walk Yut to the BART station this morning. Omg, there are people out at 8 in the morning on a Sunday! Chipper people, out walking dogs, walking babies, jogging, buying coffee, awake. In contrast, I’m sleepy, my hair’s a mess (that’s what I get for going to sleepy last [...]
We were awoken early in the morning (4:42 evidently) by an earthquake. It didn’t last long — felt like mere seconds, but strong. Too short (and I was too groggy) for me to think about pants, ’til after the shaking stopped.
