Drive-By-...what?

Tuesday, June 15, 2004

WARNING: Do not try this at home kids! The result of such actions may lead to unpredictable or unwanted consequences!

So I was driving to work one morning on the 15 freeway south sans my normal carpool buddies Laura and Les. Traffic, being in Southern Cali, was by default sluggish. Still, i will take every opportunity to be legitimately late for work, so the slowness didn’t bother me.

Then this guy zooms buy in his brand new mercedes. Or rather, tries to zoom. He got stuck behind slow traffic, so he wove his way across the slower right lanes of traffic and back, and forth, and back again. Annoyed, I muttered stuff like “idiot” and “gonna get yourself killed doing that” under my breath, when suddenly he was next to my car and pacing me. I ignored him.

He drove a little past my car so i could not ignore him; he looked back at me and gave me the “c’mon! I bet you can’t beat ME!” hand motions (because as you know i am very fluent in sign-language). This guy looked to be an early-30s mildly goofy yuppy with a button down shirt and too much money/time on his hands. Amused i chased for about 2 minutes then went back to cruising in the fast lane. “Forget this!”

A minute later, he was pacing me again. This time, he had a paper held up to the window. I put my car in auto-pilot and let R2 take over for the time being as i strained to read the cryptic writing on the paper. It said:

“ARE YOUR LEGS GREAT TOO?”

I nearly died laughing at him. If only he could have heard the raucous commotion in my car as i smoked him in my comparatively weak 4-cylinder camry.

THE MORAL: having money/nice cars/etc. apparently has no correlation with being smart and doesn’t prevent people from laughing at you. Now you know! And knowing is half the battle!

What's a ...Blog?

Friday, June 11, 2004

So my friend asked me today, “what’s a blog?” Needless to say, i was shocked. SHOCKED I SAY!

What shall i tell him? “It’s when a bullfrog sits on a log?” “It’s when a bull fighter gets constipated?” So many things i could tell him. And you know what i told him? DAGUMMIT! I told him the TRUTH! Curses! Foiled again! 

FFXI - possibly the "cutest" addiction in gaming

Wednesday, June 09, 2004

I just ran across this in the FFXI site - they celebrated Hina-Matsuri, a traditional Japanese festival, in their “local village” of Vana’Diel. Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding what Vana’Diel really is. They have this picture posted and it’s SO cute! No wonder people are stuck on this game…

LAKERS - ya gotta believe!

Tuesday, June 08, 2004

The lakers sure know how to make an exciting game! Woot! 

Ok, so let’s admit one thing: we’re really glad that Luke Walton is not just a pretty face, but is actually a pretty good baller! yay! With bright shiny nubile eyes like only a rookie of 24 years old and happy dancing stick men on a merry-go-round tattoo-ed on his arm can have! Ah, court vision. Must be nice to have grown up with an NBA player for a father.

BUT back to the game at hand! Wasn’t that a great game?! I BELIEVE in the LAKERS! But i call a 7 game series cuz they love to make it exciting. They’ll probably lose two games in Detroit and then win it in game 7 at home. Literally heart-pounding action. phew!  Can’t wait!

Wanna check out a work in progress?

Monday, May 31, 2004

If you wanna check out the development of the site, click here to see it. By the time you check this out, it may be something different. BUT for today, it is the latest development i’ve made. 

i’m having a hard time dealing with how padding and margins work on different browsers. Why don’t they all work the same? And this page may not even show AT ALL in safari. :S on boy. Anyway, there’s more w’ell have to figure out, but right now this is al i can do.

Maybe i can ask my good friend Les to help me out? ;) heeeehehee

Expression Engine - powerful but mind numbing

Monday, May 24, 2004

Did i ever mention that coding for expression engine is so easy bloody hard? someday (and I hope it’s someday soon) i will master this stuff. But coming from a non-coding background to this is a little more challenging than expected.

Fear not! i will prevail! and soon. Just you wait! (and you’ll have to cuz nothing else is up...)

Previously, there was a “Gratuitous just cuz i can” picture here but it broke my layout in some browers, so i changed it.

Here’s a link to the strange tongue picture that was once resident here.
