NY Times Article

whew... KMart on this week's highlight countdown... GRABS a layup by Wade...

speaking of which... MJ on Mercer about 3 yrs ago... that was crazy...

1.rasho was a monster today against the mavs... even blocked a dunk from jamaison by pinning the ball against the backboard with one hand... almost had a double double... consider this: duncan didn't play
2.horry swatting away the nash layup attempt
-warriors lose a CLOOOOOOOOSE one to the kidd-less nets! how close? they had around 3 tries to tie it back up... mike missed his trey, jrich missed his... they force the 24 clock and get the ball back... but jrich bumbles the inbound pass and they turn it back over... man... this sucks so much... and they were leading the ENTIRE GAME... jrich and dunleavy were rolling with the jumpers too...

if the 12 stones clip i found didn't sound so blocky, i think i'd keep "the way i feel" up longer... or "let go" but that one's also clipped, so i gotta be happy w/what i've got... i figure i'll just rotate some artists here and there every week or two...

my right ring is hurting... and my left leg is stiff...

tell me if i'm smoking crack... but doesn't cliff robinson look slightly like snoop dogg?

i'm so tired...

*yawn*... things better be better this weekend... ie time management... i HAVE to stay up late tonight... prob maybe even wh0re the whole night to write up a paper... if i'm lucky, get 3 hrs of sleep, then wake up, revise my paper... again, hopefully i will pull no more all-nighters... but tonight's inevitable... hopefully the saturday and sunday i will not waste my time away...

just a haiku i came up on the spot to express how i feel(not good w/unorthodox poems; freeverse is obviously my forte):
bloodshot eyes
sick of the game i now play
I AM, yours

k, time to work...

some fun abandonware games i've been finding lately:

-life or death... you actually to pretend you're a gastro-surgeon(is that even a correct medical term? i just don't wanna say "stomach doctor")... you go around a gastro-oriented medical branch of a hospital making diagnosis for patients... very fun... my correct diagnosis ratio the 1st time i played was under 30%... over half of those died from burst appendixes or overbleeding during surgery... or me injecting something that stopped their heart :D... as for now, i can correctly diagnose what to do... but i still can't operate correctly to save my life... maybe it's cause i can't tell what the hell the forceps look like in the game... grainy graphics... nevertheless, damn fun game...

-highway pursuit... this game roXors... it's like spy pursuit, but remade... essentially you drive around on a highway, using your sports car(it has a mounted machine gun, can add oil slick or smoke screen or fire SAMs) to ram and shoot up any enemies in other cars... very, very, very fun... good break-taker game... that is, if you don't turn your break into 3 hours :D some classics never die... like this one... it's actually freeware, not abandonware... cause it's a remake...

-test drive... ol skool... me and phil used to whore this game... this was way before the days of need for speed... my fave was the porsche 911 turbo... cause of its quick ass acceleration at the start... too bad the test drive 2 game online doesn't seem to work... test drive 3's also online, but i can't seem to slow it down properly... in any case, stunts is also a good racing game...

and if you're into othello, the freeware wzebra's hella good... the cpu is hella souped up... no 2-player, but this cpu is pretty much unbeatable... you obviously get frustrated cause of this, but your game will improve so damn much... up there as one of the better othello dls... btw you can customize difficulty, so it doesn't have to be hard...

truly, truly wished ppl like louis-ferdinand celine didn't write novels the way he does; thick, 400+ pg, 220+ words on each page novels, because when stuff like this becomes the material that you have to base upon for writing a paper due in two days, you begin to blame everyone, everything for the suffering you go through, except yourself, for slacking off, for not pulling yourself together and reading the crap WHEN you were supposed to read it because you had to cram for a science midterm during the week span that you were supposed to read it... i hate myself... hate how the quarter system crams all this info into a measly few weeks and uses that to judge ppl...

it's not really about being a day or night person... more or less if you want ppl to shut up, or whether you want to hear ppl talk at you... oh yea, that and whether you prefer shut-eye or lattes... except i don't waste money on lattes... which is why, again, i hate myself...

does it sound like i'm doing a bit of hating early in the morning? maybe my head'll clear up later in the day... that is, if i don't fall asleep again... or hopefully, this weekend... provided i actually stick to doing work, not building thumb callouses...

to become anew once again, i must start by tearing down everything i was built upon... i was built upon shaky foundations, so i must tear down until nothing is left, only then can i start to recreate myself upon a rock-solid set of principles and faith...

there was this evangelical christian who was trying to minister to those walking by the ucd bookstore today... it was funny one of the comparisons he used... it wasn't too good of a comparison...

"going to church doesn't make you any more a christian than going to mcdonald's makes you a hamburger..."

(really? i'm a born-again double-double... how dare you question my all-beef patties)
