missed the rock climbing. I'm still full from dinner *yawn*

Oh, and my grades turned out sorta stinky. Didn't fail anything but I didn't ace anything either. *sigh* I worked darn hard, too.

Camping was fun. However I am now of more minds than I was before.
First off: always take a bed-roll with you... The ground is too damn hard for anything else
Don't camp with minors. We had boy scout troop 14 adjacent to us and they were the noisiest bunch. That's right....
THEY DAMN WELL WOKE ME UP! Not only did they not quiet down when Stephi asked them to to (at 8/9 in the morning), they mocked her when she left for the showers. My consolation is that one of the (odds are more than one) will grow up to be a really big moron and loser.
Also, fires are smokey. Maybe in the interest of staying healthy I'll bring a couple of those pretty smokeless logs next time. Fires can be hard to light when the wood is damp or it's windy, too. Once again, chemically inundated, guaranteed to light log would have saved us a lot of time but then we'd have missed out on some of the "fun". It was more funny to see the kindling go up in a blaze of fury. Maybe some of those gel packs that help you start the fire really easily would be good.
Manresa was nice. Mostly everybody but Stephi got burned. The showers were pretty clean and it's 25 cents for every two minutes. Of note, they don't have mirrors there so contact wearers should bring their own.
Otherwise, I have a new site that I've posted some smaller resolution pictures on (using Photoshop) and that can be found at

I don't know how long nbci is going to stay up, it seems as if they're going bankrupt.
Ah, as for exploring new things, I'm probably going rock climbing with robin and stephi this weekend. Okiki. gotta go.

Note to James: hello. sorry about that pic. You found me though. And my private musings for the small fraction of six months.

I like to fly. It's odd but true. I'm convinced than when I get off a plane I've grown a bit.
Camera Note: it came in that day at 6:30 pm. it took a while but now it's here. I taken and posted some pictures already (on shutterfly).
I need to post them to my website, though. However, these pictures are around 700-900 k each! High resolution is what I paid for, you know.
Anyhow, my mommy came home from her China trip and she'll have tons of pictures to post, too!
Since I'm supossed to be studying for my ethics final at 4 tomorrow, I suppose that I should start to study, Or make a webpage. Your call.

Wow, been a month! So what have I been up to
Was doing an ECS160 project and that was due monday. I'm trying to make myself read ECS152A (computer Networks) because we have our final test tomorrow and it's worth... oh, 33% of my entire grade! There's no final in the class. I also have an english104a (tech writing) paper due tomorrow so I'll have to work on that sometime tonight. Then I need to cram for my Engineering 190 (Ethics) Final on Wednesday b/c I literally haven't read anything yet.
I wound up getting that Olympus Camera and it's supossed to be delivered today.
Otherwise, Ted left for Brussels and is on a business trip in Dusseldorf, Germany. Lucky Guy.
Well, back to work.
:p
