Just a random collection of thoughts that I need to get off my chest:

I fly to Korea on the 5th. Wow. So soon.

One way to gauge whether I think a website is "good" is dependent on how often *I* use it. I think that's where I've been stumbling with Tabulas; I've been so concerned about the stability of the site I've sacrificed some much needed features. But I will continue to rebuild Tabulas from the ground-up.

The Lakers are sick. I think I told Nasty Nate that Lakers would win the series 4-1. If they beat Minny at home, I am correct.

I think the Pacers can beat the Pistons, but I think the Pistons match up better against the Lakers.

I watched 2 minutes of "Greatest Celebrity Feuds" on VH1, and #1 was the Van Halen/David Lee Roth feud. Shouldn't the 2pac/Biggie feud be #1? Both guys died.. what else do you want?

Money is becoming a big problem. Damn these server bills...

I have now been poker-free for about a week. I think Korea will provide ample distractions for me to finally break the habit.

Corollary: I *was* addicted to poker. I admit it. I was horribly, horribly addicted. But now I quit. Again. For the 20th time. But this time, I think it's going to stick.

Ever since I found out I'll be flying out to Korea shortly, I've gotten a lot of work done on Tabulas. It's like someone just lit a Bunsen burner under my ass.

In a sense, the Powershot G5 might be the most perfect camera for me right now. Although in an ideal world I would actually have the Canon 10D, right now all I really do is take semi-artistic pictures of landscapes ... and I really don't need a DSLR to do heavy lifting; I would need this when I do travelling. Plus the G5 looks nice. It looks very solid and very unobtrusive. Although if I bought it, I would tape up the front with black tape to cover up the fact it's a digital camera... anyone out there with some money to burn? ;)

I never wrote a congratulations post to the graduating class ... so here it goes:

Hahahahahaha. Suckers! Have fun in the real world! Your best years are now officially behind you... you can now look forward to the 9-5 grind ... and dealing with insurance and work and stupid adult stuff like that. While I have fun in my 9th semester in college, I will remember each and every one of you and DOUBLE the dosage of FUN whenever I'm out having a blast.

I'm such an arsehole.

I decided that an "autobiography" was in order ... originally I wanted to keep it short... I just wanted it to be kind of a "barometer" for new people to get the blog in context (tell you who I am), but the thing ended up being really really long. And really really long autobiographies from underaccomplished 20-year olds sounds really obnoxious. So I just deleted it.

Apparently the full-time position is actually going to pay less than the part-time position, and I'll be working 2x as much? WTF?

Ok, so my sister has a tendency to lose a LOT of things. So when our family lost the Blockbuster card, we all naturally blamed her. My sister called up BB and they told her the last movies rented... which I had rented. So then my mom tells me that I'm responsible for the lost card. I told her, "If I used the card, then it would be sitting in my wallet!" I had looked at least THREE times for the friggin card in my wallet and never found it. But my mom came back about 5 minutes later with the card... she said the card had been in my wallet the whole time.

There is a movie called "Laurel Canyon" where Kate Beckinsale gets really ... sketchy. She strips down into her bra and panties and makes out with some chick. Now, normally I would want to see such a thing, but I hold Kate in such high regard that I don't want to see it. Does this make sense? I saw it on sale at Blockbuster for their pre-viewed DVD sale, but I decided not to buy it. I refuse to see beautiful Kate get trashy, I guess.

For some reason I'm feeling very complacent lately. Not really stressed out, not really worried, not extremely happy... but feeling very content. Not sure why.
