I'm ratting you out, dog.

My dog seems to get constant compliments from everyone who meets him, or sees pictures of him.

Well, I'm sick of it. I'm jealous of the attention he gets, so I'm outing him. He eats kleenex, I've never fed him kleenex, but my mother does and if she doesn't he'll go in her jacket pockets. Used kleenex too.

He licks his balls too. Well, I'm sure everyone knows that.

Bee swarm at Peter's Parade UCI

Hilarious.

Maybe breaking, but never braking.

My volition is gone
Or I've stopped pretending
Can't change for one

"Oh noes", what does it mean?

Okay, I acted like a 25-year old at five, so now at 25 it is no surprise that I act like an octagenarian curmudgeon.

With that said, I would like to lodge a complaint against the term, "oh noes."

I understand people dropping letters to save time, but now I have to add letters that add no discernable meaning?

Am I cool now, if I start doing this? Of course not, because the simple fact that a loser like me has heard of it means it is already on its way out.

By the time I convert to "oh noes"ing it'll subtract cool points every time I use it.

I already have a net deficit of cool points that is in the millions. Oh let's be honest, trillions. I used "awesome" for about a decade past its due date. I still say awesome.

This is why I stick to the classics when I need to add some cool to my speech; piss, shit, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.

Dream last night

I was walking around a dark street. Some festivities were going on, but as usual I was aloof and confused by them. Halloween? I dunno.



Someone, or a small group rather, tried to play some kind of prank on me. Naturally this ended in me beating the group leader and fleeing. Soon after, the police caught up with me.



I've talked my way out of many situations with the police. If you are calm, articulate, white, and exude knowledge of the law, they are not inclined to arrest you. I've tested this too many times.



In the dream though both my attacker (victim) and myself are arrested. As we are loaded into the patrol car, I realize the attacker is my brother. I look again and it is a small young asian man.



Now things spiral. My sleeping mind loses the ability to enforce continuity and thought and images lose their focus.



I awaken wondering if the continuity I experience while awake is enforced by nature, or a construct of my more focused mind. I do believe that in physical law enforces some temporal continuity.



What I experience as such is a separate thing. Useful, but illusory.

Edit: 2/27/2008

I no longer have any recollection of this dream, which is expected, but I also don't remember writing this post. That is a little unsettling.

Updated: CML/IGB Distinguished Speaker Series: Andrew McCallum, "Bayesian Models of Social Networks and Text"

Okay, the talk was changed. It was mainly about the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm.

I bit above my head, but really I could read most of the symbolic logic and I love the idea of making computers parse through information for me.

I hate reading. I mean I love reading, but only exactly the information I want at that moment.

I probably should have taken more than a few notes on my blackberry, but I just wanted an overview of a topic I hope to study in the future.

Also, Dr. McCallum was a fine speaker. I really haven't seen too many computer science professors who fit the irredeemable nerd stereotype!

That's not how you choke someone!

Okay, that's not how you choke someone. In "No Country for Old Men" the super-evil personification of evil guy spends about 5 minutes choking a sheriff to death.


Maybe that is how they do it in "unnamed Eastern-European country," but I know a bunch of Brazilian dudes who teach Jiu Jitsu and can choke you out in 5 seconds flat.

It doesn't get icy in orange county

New disinformation campaign

Actually, it is all true.

Cake is lie

Yesss.

Pristine leg hair

I feel like my shins are gonna snap at muay thai today, so I though I'd document them in original condition for insurance purposes.

Target one

Complete

A fair and balanced message.


This blog is a voice for one person, but now I'll turn it over to two other people. Some might say they are using their free speech even less responsibly than me. I don't have an opinion on that. Honestly.

I only know that one of them scares me.

Sleep

Only offering transience
But it is everything
And nothing
All that ever was over all that shall be
Not a quantity that
Undefined
Null
Not even happening
Fuck you to every neuron
Synapse
Neurotransmitter
Making me believe their ever was a moment ago
Making me believe their was a me
That their is a me
That their shall be a me
Tomorrow
When I wake up
If I ever sleep

notshort by Starbucks

I'm a fan of the short cappuccino. I just want a little espresso, and a little steamed milk. I see many students walking around with gigantic beverages and I laugh. My short little drink has fewer calories, and it cause far fewer trips to the bathroom.

Somehow, Starbucks can't seem to market small drinks. The excellent Chantico failed. My short cappuccino is almost unknown.

Starbucks seems to have trouble training their barristas to make it. In fact I had to have this card made to convince them it even exists. Today, at Orange Coast College, they couldn't even find the right cups, and they charged me for a tall.

Maybe it is the wording, a tall/short thing. I'm 6'3, so I don't feel uncomfortable buying a tiny drink. Who knows?

Yeah, lice control

Fry's, Marvac, no fucking 12vdc 4a power supply. Also, I may now have lice.

No Limits MMA

Some pics of my gym.

Cake is a lie at UCI and OCC

I will be stapling these up over the next couple days. It is a bit cheesy, and I thought Portal was a 9.5. Not a 9.99 like everyone else.

I'm just doing it for the hell of it.

Bizarre mystery

I get in trouble if I don't recycle, so I refill water bottles and put them in the freezer so they will be cold at the gym. This morning I went out to get some, and one was completely unfrozen.

As soon as I picked it up, half the water froze. Creepy thing to see in the morning.

It is the one on the left.

Important notice on rumors of atomic jelly bean weaponry

Contrary to reports published in my dream tonight, You cannot destroy America by carpet bombing it with jelly beans, because jelly beans are rarely, if ever, atomic bombs.

Snow on Saddleback Mountain

Pretty.

Dear UCI denizens, walk your fucking bikes!

They have blanketed the outer sidewalk of this Uni with signs and pictograms to deter people from riding bikes.

It is a hilly campus, with blind curves, and pedestrians have been seriously hurt by bicyclists in the past.

Now, it isn't that I have something against bicyclists. There is nothing wrong with being a lycra-clad self-righteous under-weight douche-bag.

No, I'll be fine with them, as long as they follow the rules of the road. No rolling through stop signs. No racing down sidewalks.

For my part, I promise not to beat you do death with a baggette.

Nobel Prize winner and gas guzzler


Here in lot 12 at UC Irvine Sherry Rowland has a special reserved space for winning the Nobel Prize. He usually parks Honda Civic there I think.

He could certainly afford a nicer car, but that would be unseemly for an atmospheric chemist. So, I thought it was ironic to see a Ford GT40 (12mpg city) parked right next to him.

Guybrush coffee

I told her to write Guybrush damn it!!
