Show Me Your Moves!

I have come to the realization that blog posts are replacing facebook updates as I catalogue my life. Here is how it goes up to now:

Took two finals today. Thermo and Aircraft. I did well with one, I got routed by the other. Although thermo wasn't exactly my intended course of study, I have come to realize that I am naturally pretty good with it. I got an A- in my first thermo class (last spring) and I will likely get an A- in this one too. Aircraft... I will likely get a B- or so, which isn't bad considering that the teacher was a fool who never taught us anything useful in the class. Everything I learned, I gleaned from arduous hours of homework as I battled to comprehend what the hell was going on.

I finish the semester's battle on Tuesday.

Right now, I am waiting for David to finish his business so that we can go to Walmart. He has to buy some shirts for Disney World and doesn't want to spend a load on DC/name-brand crap. My favorite shirts are the few that I have with no logos/icons/anything on them. I'm no slave to society. Speaking of which...

Oh, the cylon is great. I'm pretty sure that Zeus descended from Mount Olympus, created LeBron James, programmed and compiled Pandora, and promptly went back. I stream Pandora roughly 6 hours a day, which over a month comes to 180 or so hours. Recently, more attention has been paid to rating (thumbs up or thumbs down) the music that it selects for me. Like SkyNet, it is slowly learning who I am and what I approve of. Every time I add a new artist to my current "Radio Station," I have to make sure that it doesn't pollute my ears with garbage, but it has been doing really well lately. There is usually only one or so "Who do you think you are?" moments per hour.

Alright, so we went to Walmart and then to Hillier's. We had another "Finals Olympics" event. Hillier and I purchased some herring filets and sardines. The event was simply to eat them. Everybody who did won a gold medal. I won; Hillier won; Dave gets an honorable mention.

Current medal count

1. Brian: 3 Golds
2. Hillier: 2 Golds, 1 Bronze
3. Isaac: 1 Silver
4. Forbes: 1 Plastic Case with Poo inside

Nothing to do at School

So, I've run out of homework to do. I don't have enough stuff with me to get my Monday Fluids done; I don't have my Aircraft syllabus with me, so I don't even know what the assignment for Monday is. I've done my Thermo assignment for Monday, and the Kinematics assignment for next Friday hasn't been posted yet. I don't have any tests or quizzes next week that I need to really study for, so I'm at a loss. I still have two hours between me and my next class, so I've plugged in the cylon and I'm just listening to Pandora.

tan(previous paragraph):
Pandora is great. First off, it is free. You can stream loads and loads of music and not pay for it. I've got an "Anberlin Radio" that I've had running for about the last week and a half non-stop. Secondly, it lets you just suck 3g data like mad, which is beneficial if you're trying to consume as much as possible since you pay 30 bucks a month for a new data communication plan.

Since I've been coding a lot of stuff this semester, I've been wanting to make some sort of an ascii signature image that I can embed in the code of each assignment. Any suggestions, right now, the winner (in my mind) is Boba Fett. I haven't started working on it yet, and I don't think I can make it huge. I know that there are all sorts of ascii image converters on the internet, but I'm going to make it myself.

I went down to Hillier's last night to kick it with him an Isaac. I haven't seen either of them for about a week and change. We went to Walmart and I purchased some cookies and later realized I should have purchased Cheez-its. The cookies got old after about 5. Cheez-its never get old.

Every time my phone starts to run out of energy, it gives me a little status report of how the batter was used. So it turns out that more than 50% of it is getting sucked up by the screen, which makes sense. Today I was going to try to keep the screen off as long as possible to see if it lasts longer, but decided that I was just going to hook it into the USB on the computer here to feed it instead. Back up to 100% now, so I should be able to consume more data today.

Slight entertainment for the day comes via Tom. This video was taken last May when we went to Disneyland. Tom was in the bathroom and somebody got the ingenious idea to take a picture of Greg's bare ass with Tom's phone and make it his background. The deed was committed, and here is a video of the result. As with the previous post, I don't know if the embedded video will work, so here is a link.

Guess Mine...

I am studying for a math test that I have tomorrow. I have pretty much lost all sanity. There is almost no use in studying anyway, seeing as how this will be a sheer test of IQ. It will just be a quantization of how well you can wrap your brain around an obscure question and answer it. I'm pretty screwed. So here is a list of my friends and which superheroes they would be and why

• Dave- Gambit (because he gambles too much)
• Derek- Ghost Rider (because of just how bitchin' he rides that scooter)
• Stennett- Silver Surfer (because he's from a far off place with a whole surfing-thing going on)
• Hillier- The Hulk (because of how he explodes with rage while playing basketball)
• Forbes- Captain America (because he's dead)
• Gabi- Green Lantern (because I don't know what the hell he actually does)
• Harward- The Tick (because he's big, friendly, and when he's there, you KNOW he's there)
• Andrew- Spider-man (no real explanation needed)
• TJ- Human Torch (because he believes himself to be awesome)

Okay, back to math.

*Edit: Stennett complained, so now he's Batman.

Unity

Isaac and I just came up with units for some aspects of life that need quantization.

Trustworthiness: 1 Oț
Awesome Personality-ness: 1Ow
Attractiveness: 1 Sy
Insanity: 1 Ni
Irrationality: 1 Kr
Self-righteousness: 1 Ka
Fakeness: 1 Sk
Pimpliness: 1 Gr
Sexual Ambiguity: 1 Ty
Loudness: 1 Hw
Coolness: 1 Fz

There may have been more, but I can't recall. Also, the person for which these units were named have 1,000,000 of them as a standard. For example, Grant Harward had 1MHw, and as a comparison, Dave would have maybe 500 KHw.

2.6 Exact Differential Equations

I am sitting in math right now, and I am not really paying any attention. Hence the post.

I just spent about 2 hours in the CAD lab working on, get this, sketches. No, not by hand, but getting the computer to do the sketches for me based off the models that I designed. So, we are taking a 3D model, and degrading it to 2D. Way fun. The most important reason for using the 2D model is because Cylon technology can't hack a 2D model and shut it down so they can destroy you.. like they can with the 3D model.

Today is the Presidential Inauguration of Obama. Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. day. In about a week and a half we will be in Black History Month. Stennett and I will continue to eat pancakes to celebrate.

I just realized that I accidentally did the assignment already for what the professor is teaching today. What a waste of a weekend.

Oh, and I quit my job yesterday. Tonight is my last night there. Now I will be poor again.

The Lion King: To Be Successful, Sometimes People Got to Die

This entry is dedicated to the ever diligent D-Mac. He has been bugging me to update my blog for eons, and now I finally am. Hooray to all of my diligent readers. All two of you.
So, nothing really too eventful has happened over the past weeks. I got a B- out of my math class. I initially thought that I was going to have to retake it, but no; I get to move on. What more, I can still minor in math. I have one more beastly math class, then I have two which shouldn’t be too bad. They might even be kinda fun.

Oh, Forbes got married yesterday. Congrats buddy. I got to go to the ceremony and the luncheon. It was actually really fun. The night before we went, Hillier, Stennett and I all played pass the pigs and watched Pastor Melissa Scott. It was great. We have also set up a Super Nintendo and played Super Mario World. Again, great.

I bought another Nixon. David is a bad influence. So is Whiskey Militia. Speaking of which, I need to find my Δ because there is a fancy little place here in the mall that offers unlimited batteries for 5 years. This is beneficial for the following reasons: 1. The Δ batteries are about $20 a pop, and 2. They need to be Δed about once a year.

Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.

The title of the day is from Salvador Dali. I think that he was quite mistaken. I am going to show you why:
If you can't notice why, I got a smoking 100 on this nasty. Go ahead. Click on it. Zoom in. Scrutinize her. If you look close enough, it looks like I actually got a 41 on the second problem.

Here is a bit more of the glorious day for you. I met up with Stennett after my classes, and we made a diligent effort to do our homework and study. Instead, we ended up sending a hackysack down the large spiral staircase in the JFSB. It was great. We also went back to his apartment to make some food. Here is another picture for you to see what we did.Yes, the burner is on. Yes, we cooked the chili (con carne with beans/with meat con frijoles). Yes, we ate pancakes with it. Yes, we are enlightened.

Then, I went to work. It was a busy, busy day. Wait, nope. Here is a picture of Dwill and I working.This photo's caption is "Dave is his own loan-shark." He just finished telling me how he had to pull money from one bank account to pay for fun things, and now he has to pay it back. He even gave himself a good interest rate. And now he just told me that he glued a wheat thin together with cheese.
