Calculus Exam Done, 4 more to go. - Friday 12/7/01 8:55pm EST

I agree that exam was pretty hard.  I sorta left one of the answers blank on my page.  I have never left a question half-blank on a math exam before.  I don't know how many marks I'm gonna lose on that thing... a lot of the questions are tricky, especially the true and false. 

I watched two episodes of Star Trek yesterday. I dunno why.

Knobody, what's the real name of that song by Inner Circle that goes "a lalalala long".

15 pages of hardness - Thursday 12/6/01 2:48 am EST

Calculus exam was pretty hard. That's all I have to say.

P.S  Randy, does Earth exist at 5:30 am?

Man I'm Lazy - Wednesday 12/5/01 11:00 am EST

Yeah I'm lazy.  I haven't had an article up since October, and I didn't even predict for NFL last week.  I dunno... should we continue and predict for fun? 

I decided to update my Top 3 Tunes, if anybody cares.

Btw Liston, don't you just sub in any point on the plane for x1, y1, z1?

2 Step and Garage, Rips off Drum and Bass? - Tuesday 12/4/01 11:55 am EST

I've heard this comment on every single message board.  Don't know why but a lot of people who like drum and bass like to diss garage saying how's it cheezy and stuff.  Just go to Dogs On Acid, and search the word "garage" you'll see.

Sunday night was pretty crazy.  Everyone on my floor except myself stayed up all night to do their CS Project.  I didn't have a good night sleep because people were pretty loud.  I remember at 6:00 am in the morning I somehow woke up and yelled out of my room, "HEY CHRIS", Chris answered "WHAT?", I replied "SHUT UP!", "oh". Then I went back to sleep.

Quiet time is in effect at Res because exams starts tomorrow.  Basically if you are really loud past 11:00pm you are ask to shut the hell up.

My first one is Calculus, this Thursday at 2pm- 5pm. I think I should be ready for that.  Next week it's crazy week.  Physics, Discrete and Algebra exams on Monday, Wednesday and Friday respectively.  Then CS the following Monday to wrap things up.

And NO. It's not Beyonce from Destiny's Child in Shy Fx's Shake It.  I'm quite positive about that one, even though it does sound like Destiny's Child, no it's not.

Soon, I'll be waking up at 5:30am... yay... - Monday 12/3/01 11:30pm EST

I'm slowly weening myself to wake up at 5:30 cause I have an 8am exam this Saturday. Damnit, I don't even know if the sun rises at 5:30. I haven't been to an 8:00 CLASS, and how do they expect me to wake up for a 3 hour exam? These people, you know. You know what'd be cool? If the university started exams at about noon. You know what else? If they gave us a snack in the middle of the exam... that'd hit the spot about 1 and 1/2 hours in. Warm cookies too, none of those Chips Ahoy cold shit. Some milk would be good too... and lobsters... lots and lots of lobster. And spanish gold coins... like, 5... no, 50 each.

I made a mistake on my last Liston's Music of the Minute last time. It's not Artful Dodger f/ Lifford... it's Artful Dodger f/ Melanie Blatt. Give credit where credit's due. Apparently, she's one of the girls from All Saints. Go 2 step! hahaha.

Yeah, I never noticed how dirty and ghetto the Brunny is. Usually cause I'm the one who's drunk there. When you're dead sober, you start to wonder why you hang out there. Oh well, as long as you drink SOMETHING, it's all good.

Does anyone know how to turn Ax+By+Cz+D=0 into A(x - x1) + B(y - y1) + C(z - z1)=0 ? It's turning standard form into point-normal form for vectors. I've no idea how to do this because I was really behind in alg and totally tuned out the prof cause I had no idea what he was talking about at the time. Thanks.

I'm starting to lose count of how many crazy people I see whenever I go to school. Lately, most crazies have been on the GO Bus. Damn suburban psychos... they're the craziest of all.

Oh yeah, from what I hear, Object Oriented Programming is consuming people's lives... so I'll be taking that in the summer for sure. I think a 3 course load should do nicely.

I've been putting a lot of links on my posts lately, so my post sorta feels empty without one. So if you go here you'll see my lab and assignment marks for Computer Science I. It makes up 30% of my marks. Frickin' TA uses people's names so you can find out how other people in your section are doing in the course. Sorta non-private, but I'm not gonna argue with my TA for that. Notice the big line of zeros. They correspond to mid-term time.

Anyways, someone get back to me on that formula! Thanks.

Posting Once Again - Sunday 10:15pm EST

Hey I think this is my first post ever before midnite...

Anyways, we went to the Brunny last nite.  I love the Brunny, it's so ghetto.  Ya so we got in the place walked to one of the bars, and ordered 3 pitchers of beer, Molson export, Rickard's Pale, and Rickard's Red.  Don't remember where they went but George and Kevin probably each had a pitcher. I think Kev and George didn't expect the ghettoness even after everything we've been saying.  Trust, it's ghetto.  Rockin' Irene totally threw George off.  He just had this look on his face, like "what the fuck is going on"...priceless.   After a good round of "fuck you" (you have to have been to the Brunny to understand) DJ Heavy started up the hip-hop, reggae set.  that was decent, me and Liston forced George, Diana, and Jonielyn onto the stage.  George was so wasted.  I thought he was gonna pass out after we had been up there for half an hour.  So I started slapping him in the face, until he reacted.  Shhh, don't tell him it was me.  I missed it but apparently a bouncer had a problem with George passing out on the table and said that if he caught him passed out he'd get thrown out... LOL pure jokes.  You know you had a good b-day when you are threatened to be kicked out of the place you are jammin at.  OK me needs to work on me English skillz.  We went to BK and there was this guy there that was twice my size, he musta been like 8 feet tall...dunno just thought that was noteworthy...forgot to ask for crowns while we were there.  too bad.  Kev spewed on the subway and I made George a cup out of a blockbuster magazine and told him that if he had to spew he should spew into that (a la Wayne's World).  I dunno I thought it was funny, but I wasn't laughing out loud at my own joke, I'm not that lame.  When we got back to Finch and were heading for our respective rides, I notived that George was still clenching the cup i made him, although it was kinda crumpled up in his hand, but he still had it.  I found that even funnier.  I think I did laugh at that.  YOU CAN'T SPEW IN A BLOCKBUSTER MAGAZINE, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!! LOL
ok no more crap to spew from my mouth...err umm... fingers...err umm this is giving me very disturbing mental pictures.

Last night at the Brunny - Sunday 12/2/01 7:30pm EST

A quick message here, got a CS meeting in a bit.

All I have to say is, the Brunny was so GHETTO.  I still don't understand Rockin Irene, and that DJ Heavy is in a cage (apparently he's a big fat white guy).  

I drank a bit too much.  I drank the whole big pitcher of beer and I was drunk out of my mind.  I couldn't even feel my fingers and my face.  Someone slapped me in the face like 20 times and I was just like OW OW OW... These 2 girls spilt rum and coke on me.  When we were at BK, I was trying to eat but I couldn't taste anything and I ended up eating half the whopper junior.  Kev threw up in the subway.  Diana was pretty screwed too.   Anyhow, it was all in all a fun time chilling with the T.O crew.
