picks of the week:
1. bible verse:
still need to think about this one... come back to me next week :D
2. food:
dreyer's apple pie ice cream(limited edition). it's pretty good; seems to contain so many apples in pie sauce and pie crusts, that the ice cream feels a lot more softer due to the lack of ice cream. fyi, the expression "as american as apple pie" is not foreal. apple pies existed before the usa was founded. am i the only one that was shocked at that?
3. music equip:
...
4. place:
i long to be at the arboretum, but the rain and wet and windy conditions have denied me.
5. song:
i plan on downloading this .wmv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5lBGxdDb8c
6. sports game:
kings at warriors, and niners at lions; the 1st reminded me how much running don nelson emphasized with tmc(here's to hoping they can do this on the road and against defensive-minded teams), and the 2nd was just awesome for chauntee spencer laying out john kitna.
7. thought:
we live in a world where sticking to your beliefs if they're false is foolishness, and being apt to change is also wrong, showing your fear in the face of popularity. the hard part about this life is be able to be able to divide right from wrong, and then to focus your body to follow what your mind believes to be the truth... no matter what anybody else believes and says.
8. video game:
what i'm putting down today is a combo video that i uploaded but didn't create. imo, it's the best ssf2t combo video ever; and i've seen a lot of impressive ones, like the 2 studio l ones from tosaka.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcgEhm1uYUg
9. other(product):
"this is spinal tap" is a really awesome comedy movie; i remember watching it with phil once when i was a kid, and i'm hoping to watch it again sometime soon; it's really funny, makes fun of the whole british rock star stuff.
example of a funny clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhVWJgIzftE heh heh; this one goes to 11
also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY8cTBpkzyE
10.other(various):
i can't wait til turkey bowl; i just might call 2 of the msmers around and see if they're willing to go as well.

SNL - blue oyster cult
i love this skit... for some reason i started thinking about it during lunch.
the cowbell cracks me up.

someone got owned by the denjin hadoken this week.
kinda hard to not know about this, although it's fresh news:
Iranian-American UCLA student gets tazered for not producing ID and resisting authority.
video
NBC
daily bruin
as for my opinion, i'm kinda 50/50 on this. i know some people are saying the police stepped over the line, and used excessive force and that they probably wouldn't do that if the person was white. however, some people are saying that the person got what he deserved for yelling and saying "get off me!" as opposed to being polite and stuff.
i think that the student should've been polite and stuff; since at the time he had no ID and was resisting authority. but he shouldn't have been tazed more than 3 times. tazing someone 5 times is excessive.

i really don't understand how my mp3 player's voice recorder option can go dead silent for 30 full minutes... the battery didn't die, the mic worked when i tried a test record later, but for 30 full minutes, basically the entire lecture, all i got is dead silence. I DON'T GET IT! it's like God's juking me and making it harder to keep up and stuff. so now i can't understand what i wrote down, since the professor talks way too much without writing anything on the blackboard for me to get anything down.
well, at least it's only 30 minutes, and not a full lecture, and i haven't been going at all to office hours. maybe this'll give me an excuse to walk in on tuesday. so i'm just gonna take today off.
tonight's nba games look really good.

recognize my new title? :D
fyi, i need to photocopy some of the designs on my t-shirts; some of them are cool, but the constant washing is making the designs fade away... i'll soon have no way to keep those designs. i'll lament the day that my uc davis cow tipping team t-shirt is no longer legible.
once when i was in LA, i saw x-men vs street fighter action figure 2-pak sets. ryu & magneto, or akuma & wolverine were on sale. i turned them down and instead got a small super soaker keychain. oh, how i regret doing that.
i also did not choose to get the exploding t-1000 action figure when i was small. big mistake. big, big, mistake.

edit:
wikipedia is my anti-study(i tend to look up all sorts of junk, mainly food, superheroes, bball players):
you can indirectly test whether or not you are lactose intolerant by drinking two cups of milk on an empty stomach. then seeing what happens in the next following hours. i passed :D
i didn't need to look up lactose intolerance to understand the basics of it; i've taken enough basic food science classses to know it; it is actually not "normal" to be able to drink milk beyond childhood; lactase, the enzyme which is responsible for digesting lactose is at its highest when as a baby, b/c you need to be able to drink breast milk as your main source of food. once you are past that though, the need diminishes. in addition, when you don't continuously consume food products with lactose, your body gets the sense that it does not need to produce lactase anymore, and thus production weans(this is partially why i still drink milk and a lot of it each day; not only because i know it's healthy and good for your height and bones and stuff, but because i don't think i have a genetic change owing up to lactose tolerance, so i detest that day where i might become lactose intolerant because i don't ever drink milk anymore). in some people, there is a genetic change which allows them to consume lactose regardless of how old they are; people who are able to consistently consume lactose regardless of time tend to be those which have economically had cows around them, thus needing to use milk as a dietary staple; mainly the europeans. asians on the other hand, have never had cows around, and thus, never drank milk as a staple.
i'll consider myself lucky in that sense where i can still consume 1% milk without needing to rush to the bathroom.
fyi, i could never drink lactaid; i tried it and it was just too sweet(b/c the lactose sugar is broken down into the basic two sugars, hence it tastes sweeter); how in the world do people like this?
marmalade is added to yogurt, not fresh fruit; it preserves its life longer.
my mom used to tell me to eat more yogurt because "there's some europeans that live very long lives, and the reason they do is supposedly because they eat yogurt." those europeans are the bulgarians. yogurt also MUST contain live and active cultures, basically bacteria. however, frozen yogurt may or may not contain live and active cultures. that doesn't mean it's not yogurt, just that the live and active cultures may have been killed. though american-style yogurt has gelatin added to it, yogurt is supposed to naturally have a gellish appearance and structure.
cheddar is an english cheese(used to think it was a mexican cheese; cheddar is by far my favorite cheese; goes on anything cheese is good on mostly)
i used to think "american cheese" was just something kraft made up to be able to sell their Singles; it does exist, but only a few companies make it; kraft singles for instance; it is really just a combo of kolby(another american cheese) with cheddar. i dunno if that's legit; that's like saying laughing cow cheese is another type of cheese because it mixes swiss with cheddar. fyi, though i like cheese, i never really liked kraft singles; if you tried to eat them straight up, they had a weird odor and taste.
mozerella is formed by spinning the curds(hence the round ball). it's actually supposed to be a lot wetter than the mozarella you buy in stores.
cottage cheese is rediculously healthy compared to other forms of cheese; little fat, little cholesterol, high protein, etc. cottage cheese is in essence curds without processing. i guess the processing somehow adds other stuff to it. also not stated in wikipedia but in the encyclopedia i had at home: cottage cheese(along with cream cheese) is one of the few types of cheeses that came out of america; while america doesn't seem to have invented as many unique cheeses compared to the european nations, it is the nation that produces the largest amounts of cheese. i never really ate cottage cheese with anything; just ate it straight up, not fruit topping, not on yogurt.
mars replaced by snickers almond; they used to sell a mars candy bar when i was a kid; it didn't go anywhere, just changed its name. but i distinctly remember it not having chocolate coating, but i could be wrong.
3 musketeers used to be a neopolitan flavor as opposed to a chocolate nougat inside; it was also a lot larger. explains why it was called 3 musketeers. guess some things really are better in the old days. kinda like how cup o' noodles used to have a LOT more stuff in their noodles, according to my mom; they put eggs in there.
also not found on wikipedia, but i remember: 7up cherry bubble gum used to exist, now it doesn't; they were rectangular boxes of cherry gum with a gellish fruit syrup in the middle
(in retrospect, i realize i really like learning weird facts and science about food; i should've double-majored in genetics and food science when i just entered college, and taken bioinformatics; but then again, hindsight is 20/20, and that's why we live in a temporal world; not everything we want to accomplish and possess will be done)

whoa... and i thought mp3 turntables were crazy, but this one takes the cake...
crazy thought: canaan should try to get someone to learn how to dj and then give them this as their musical instrument on sundays; they can alternate between either this or an electric violin on different songs to suit tastes.
