Project Mischief

guess, what! I got myself another Hikaru no Go episode! Woohoo!!! Didn’t do much today. Mechy came over and we study psych some more. I have somewhat of a project going on right now. Still in process, nothing big, but I’ll let you guys know how it turns out. It’s called Project Mischief.

Talking about mischief, (I’ll use fake names again so they can remain anonymous). Mono and several friends wanted *something*. Well, what’s the best way to do it so it can involve the whole DC? Mono decided to instigate two suites which are big rivals by sending them a “declaration of war” to taunt them. How to pull this off Mono thought. Well, I’ll need somebody to do the dirty job. I think I’ll ask Hippo. Hippo agreed without hesitation to help. Hippo had no idea what he was getting himself into. After creating the perfect taunts, hippo delivers the message secretively. His covert op was a success! Until… both parties united. Who in the world would know that two rival suites can unite!!?!! They barge into hippo’s suite and found the evidence of the “war declaration” and now both suites are against hippo. Hippo calls Mono for backup, but Mono is going to get back to Hippo later. Hippo tries to contact the enemies, but all he got was swear words, threats, and a lot of cussing. Hippo’s shaking in his bed right now. The enemies were banging on the door, yelling @ hippo to open up, shooting stuff @ his window. What should Hippo do??? Give out the boss behind the stage (mono was extremely smart in choosing hippo as his ‘you know what’), or hold back until reinforcements arrived. I wonder if hippo can survive this…

++Hippo is sick.

Printer Cartridge Heads

wow, that was one really weird weekend. Didn’t update for 2 whole days. been really lazy recently. Probably have mono ;p.

I went to bed @ 8:30am last morning and woke up @ 2:30pm and the found out my computer died. So skipping the remainder of my classes, I went about to fix my computer. It seems to be rather fine now, if not better. So I’m happy.

For fans of rice rockets (souped up cars), I’d recommend The Legend of Speed (Chinese equivalent of Fast and Furious):

legend of speed - car with nozlegend of speed - car with noz
I bet mechy will like this ;p, it has NOZ (NO2)

Interesting fact:

Krunk4Ever (5:30:27 PM): yep, not many places sell generic lexmark cartridges
Krunk4Ever (5:30:29 PM): i wonder why…
Krunk4Ever (5:30:38 PM): all epsons cartridges are made generic
Krunk4Ever (5:30:41 PM): but hp has few
Krunk4Ever (5:30:43 PM): and so does lexmark
Krunk4Ever (5:30:51 PM): is there like some patent?
ungsunghero (5:32:05 PM): no
ungsunghero (5:32:12 PM): hp and lexmark carts have the printer heads on them
ungsunghero (5:32:19 PM): cost to manufacture = a lot
ungsunghero (5:32:26 PM): epsons do not
ungsunghero (5:32:32 PM): cost to manufacture = not nearly as much
Krunk4Ever (5:33:14 PM): what’s printer heads?
Krunk4Ever (5:33:22 PM): those little copper pieces?
ungsunghero (5:33:37 PM): where the cartridge touches the paper
Krunk4Ever (5:33:47 PM): what’s the head for?
ungsunghero (5:34:01 PM): think of it as the equivalent of a ball bearing in a “ball point pen”
Krunk4Ever (5:34:08 PM): ah i c
Krunk4Ever (5:34:13 PM): how do epsons print then?
ungsunghero (5:34:15 PM): epson carts = the plastic “guy” (shudder) holding the ink
Krunk4Ever (5:34:25 PM): n/m
Krunk4Ever (5:34:29 PM): i think i know how now
ungsunghero (5:34:32 PM): hp/lexmarks = the plastic thingy (shudder…) + the metal part
Krunk4Ever (5:34:38 PM): the printer heads are part of the printer on the epson
Krunk4Ever (5:34:48 PM): and the cartridges are just bottles of ink
ungsunghero (5:34:49 PM): precisely
Krunk4Ever (5:34:58 PM): ah, it all makes sense now
ungsunghero (5:35:04 PM): exactly!
ungsunghero (5:35:05 PM): how do i know this? i’m the king of useless facts!
Krunk4Ever (5:35:14 PM): i wonder if i can send my cartridges back in and make some money
ungsunghero (5:35:19 PM): (my new catchphrase…you may quote me)
Krunk4Ever (5:35:37 PM): kewl
ungsunghero (5:39:28 PM): so has peter educated toland on something interesting today???
Krunk4Ever (5:39:35 PM): yep ^_^x
ungsunghero (5:39:44 PM): good

Ending of Kanon

I just finished watching Kanon. The ending was so sad. *sniff*. A young man’s memory repressed and now when the bubble pops, he wishes the bubble would’ve popped sooner. This is the first anime I believe that has actually brought tears to my eyes (just like him):

kanon - ayu leaving
I hope I didn’t ruin the story for anyone.

I would also like to share something my brother/sister made. What I’m curious is how they took the picture since they don’t have the digicam. Hmmmm. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Hehe:
hippo and snorlax
Click image to start the animation or view it in the gallery.

@ 4am, I finally cracked the code, ie: finished my cs project. W00h00!!! The debugging took so long for just one simple function. Grrrrrr! But I’m happy now. Now onto 53 hw. Shoot, I forgot to jot down the hw assignment! (actually, I ditched all of this week’s lecture)

Mechy Magnet Effect

common guys, I need some feedback. So far only one person has voted. Gimme your luv!!! Hehe. Anyways, links are working now in the beta interface.

Today I witness the first Mechy Magnet Effect. As I was walking home from class, I bumped into mechy. It was like a natural phenomenon!!! All the times before, I was just exaggerating a rumor, but today I can tell that everything I’ve said was not an exaggeration. As I was saying, I bumped into mechy. Next to him was a girl on each side and they were pretty good looking. They were chatting and I just stood there laughing inside and smiling outside. Mechy noticed me and came up and asked what was so funny. I said ‘oh, nothing.’ So we walked back home together. The girls kept on following us, but didn’t talk to mechy along the entire route so I thought, maybe I was wrong…, we were @ the intersection where we usually bid farewell, and the moment I walked away from mechy, the 2 girls resumed their talking with him. I couldn’t stop my self from having this big grin. Inside of me and I was rolling on the floor laughing outloud. And I thought to myself, “the rumor’s actually true!!!” There you go, the Mechy Magnet Effect experienced first hand by me.

There was a 2nd drama today, but pardon me for not revealing any names. Let’s just call them Pika and Potamus (the 2 stuff animals I have with me right now. I missed my others so much!!!) Pika is the mischievous one. Pika would go around and fool with other people’s stuff and just likes to be mischievous. Well, Pika today did a very bad bad thing. Pika stole Potamus’ cellfone. Not wanting to end up in jail, pika comes up with a genius plan, but required help from me. Of course since Pika was my friend, I couldn’t say no and was glad to help. After stealing the cellfone, the cellfone kept ringing (pika’s guessing potamus is looking for the cellfone) and quickly implements his plan. I answered the cellfone and it was potamus. Potamus recalls bringing the cellfone with him, but I made a lie and said: really? It’s always been here. Since potamus just woke up, he didn’t seem too sure anymore, so everything is no back to normal. But since the truth has been revealed now, pika’s going to hate me and potamus will torture me until I reveal who pika is. But who knows what will happen…. Hehe ^_^x

Currently 5:10am and I have an appointment @ 9:30 tomorrow. So adios! ^_^zzz Oh yeah, liam’s been bothering about picture of the week, so I found one that I think is worthy to make into the hall of fame. Enjoy ^_^x

Supply of Straws

I got a present today! w00h00! Thanks to carii, my supply of straws for me to chew on has been replenished. It also came with cute looking ribbon. Thank you!!!

I really hate it when someone makes fun of me in my back, especially when I’m in hearing distance. Last Thursday (boat dance nite), I was eating dinner by myself because everyone was going to the boat dance. There was a group of boys behind me that were chatting. I was eating my way and they were eating their way, but suddenly I heard them say, “You know, some people were just meant to be loners. Take for example, that guy over their with the tail. He might think that his tail looks great but see how he has no friends…” At the moment, I wanted to go over there and just.. just.. well do something, argue, hit, whatever that guy. But I didn’t have a good argument to present, plus I had no proof. So I quietly left. Last nite on Simpsons, I heard the best quote that released all this frustration:

Politician: What are you wearing? I’ve seen better chains on tires.
Mr. T: I pity the foo’ who criticizes others’ fashion to boost his self-esteem.
Politician: I hate my life.

I can just imagine myself going up there and saying that ;p It would’ve been so great.

Beta Interface has been updated. The only links that don’t work right now are Links and the sublinks of Old News. Enjoy. Please vote! ^_^x

AHHHHHH! Don’t you hate when you get something working, the other part that was working before stopped!?!?! Hmmm, this actually applies to 2 things that happened to me today now that I think about it. First it was my CS project (just realized how my troubles today could relate to it). Remember the CS project I ditched last Friday, well, I had to do it today. Procrastination will only find it’s way back to haunt you even more. Was working on my CS Project writing Logo in Scheme. Everything went well. Got stuck for the longest time on one problem. Finally got it to work and then realized several of our codes in the beginning no longer worked. AHHHH! Too much data abstraction. Hopefully the part that was due on Monday wasn’t affected. As for the 2nd thing, it was my surprise. That you’ll haveta wait. Can’t ruin it now. Hehe. ^_^x

prince of tennis - eiji - nanjaro hoi hoi

Was watching Prince of Tennis today, and saw this flash. The word Kenshin caught my attention and I decided to post it up. Nothing really special. Anime’s really good, but I can’t wait for more Hikaru no Go!!! Sigh…

Amendment:
Guess I spoke too early. I do have the surprise up and ready for display. If you haven’t noticed already, my new url is: www.krunk4ever.com. I’ll be moving the site soon to a real host instead of forwarding it to my OCF Berkeley account. My email has also changed to toland@krunk4ever.com. Update your email address books. ^_^x

New Apartment

got my 2nd physics MT back and my score was a C+. yuck. Should try harder, but I just don’t have the self-motivation to do so. Oh well, at least I’m passing this class. I have a bad feeling for my CS and Psych though. Sigh… a very bad semester indeed.

My future roommate cunndogg and I are getting excited because we found a studio on Hearst right next to Etcheverry (for those that live in Berkeley, you know how close I’m talking about. Classes will no longer be 5-10 mins away, but instead 2-5 mins. Hehe) and the landlord is interested in renting it to us. We’re having an interview on Thursday so wish us g’luck!

Stupid Yahoo will POP3 mail starting wed. the 24th (for most of you reading, that’ll be today. Actually it must be today cause it’s 6:43am and it’ll probably be ~7am when I post it. Unless you’re here late @ nite and it’ll be the Thursday the 25th) I’m frantically searching for a better email service, if all works out, there’ll be a surprise.

BUSHITSU!

picture of the week has been FINALLY updated. It’s more of a humorous shot instead of a beautiful shot. Others can also say it’s a frightening shot, but I believe most of you will find it humorous. Hehe ^_^x

Nothing much happened today, but would you believe this: my suitemate lost his notebook this morning with all the notes he took from the book: the Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. He thought, that’s okay, I’ve already implemented a majority of what I have into my essay. Tonight he returns and discovers that the diskette failed on him. A true tragedy and if that happened to me, it would’ve been one of the worst days in my life. Hope everything works out for him. @ times like this, I’d heed to Jason Lee’s advice: BUSHITSU!!!

Ungsunghero <==> Krunk4Ever

calday pictures are up along with the comments. Enjoy ^_^x

As promised I’ll explain what happened to me this week. Actually, the logs should be self explanatory: Log1 | Log2 | Log3 | Log4

There’s a boat dance next week (semi-formal) and everyone is starting to get excited about it. Guys asking girls, girls asking guys, girls trying to figure out how to nicely reject a guy, guys trying to figure what to wear (tux? suit?). It’s one big comedy scene and reminds me of prom all over again.
