note to self

don't worry so much about getting DEWGF, or even EWGF consistently if you can't do hellsweep or cd+3 on command or do followup to hellsweep on command...

you also tend to play weaker on the right side still, so work on that side more...

start using all fingers on your right hand to play the game, not just the index and middle; put your thumb on left kick, and your ring on right kick... that should help you a bit; get used to doing hellsweep with the ring, and possibly the cd+3 with the thumb

also consider using only thumb and middle finger to cd on the right side, and the index and middle to cd on the left side; maybe your cd will improve; why not...

and start using sidestep more in the game; you're still not using that enough, or simple low pecks OCCASIONALLY

my mcb 162 professor is the worst lecturer i've ever had

his notes are terrible... very small, scratchy letters on the chalkboard, goes all over the place instead of being organized, or at the very least, putting his notes on the powerpoint that he uses anyhow... making it very hard to copy what he says and writes... i was literally going to scream out of frustration in the middle of class, thank God i didn't...

the rest of the quarter better not be like today...

the good side is that my tape recorder comes in handy for classes such as these, but i'm still pretty annoyed...

some other student summed it best up when i overheard her walking out...

"that is the worst lecturer ever"

the packers really aren't going anywhere this season, huh?

btw, remember how it was told you "it doesn't whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game?"

or was it "it doesn't matter whether you win or lose; it's whether you have fun?"

i consider that mentality rubbish...

because it does not force you to play hard...

or for that instance... to play correctly...

i understand that when we were kids, that was drilled into our heads to keep us from becoming sore losers... to keep us from psychologically breaking down after every close loss...

and that's important. game is STILL a game.

but i guarentee you will get more out of whatever games you play when play with a disciplined mindset like you want it.

just don't kick yourself *too much* over the head for every blowout, loss, and close loss...

learn from your mistakes, practice, practice, and come back and take some more...

until you can win...

tekken 5's fun

so i'm playing against some ppl tekken 5 @the mu earlier today...

and i'm getting slightly better at devil jin, as i'm learning to space more and not blindly rush or keep backdashing, and it's showing with the wins... but it still really peeves me how i can't wavedash, or do dewgf... AT ALL... i can't even nail ewgf or hellsweep consistently...

and in one scenario vs someone playing law i'm pretty much dead, but launched my opponent, and could've finished off my opponent in one round with a juggle combo, but ended up botching the combo, and the opponent falls prematurely to the ground... gets an "OH!" outta me, cause i know i'm pretty much done... and i proceed to hold down/back, dreading the wake-up game...

then he gets up with a low kick and i block it, which staggers him, then gratefully take my guarenteed uppercut launcher on him and then finish the juggle and his lifebar while yelling "WwWWWwOOOoOOOOOooOooooOoooOO!!!!" to noone in particular, just really glad i could make a comeback...

and in another scenario it's down to round 3(damn mu has 2/3 setting, not 3/5; but hey; at least it's only 1 token/quarter), and i'm against lee chaolan, and i'm leading by a bit in lifebar, like maybe 50%, and my opponent's about 20%, and we're both just backdashing and dashing back and forth around midrange... both of us are kinda testy to rush in and attack... then i decide for the weirdest reason to use dj's long-range laser... i mean, it's a scrub move; slow as hell, can be ducked/sidestepped, devil jin's totally open to punishment, but i thought it wasn't a bad gamble; we were fullscreen, so there was no way he could close the distance that fast after dodging it and hit me hard... at least it would keep the game from being so tense at longrange like that... i throw it out...

and KO him...

i couldn't stop laughing...

goes to show how strong 1st halves mean nothing if you lose the game...

utterly disappointing...

i'd honestly rather watch sf get blown out than have my hopes get raised up like that and then crushed

i saw this receipe on tv's "america's test kitchen"

cause my home's cable-less tv has nothing else to soak up during saturday mornings... except kqed cooking shows :D

it looked like noodles with chili and cheese over it, and some kidney beans splotted on the side... for its uniqueness(chili on noodles?), i thought maybe in the future i could try it on a saturday night

from their website...

Cincinnati Chili


Choose a relatively plain tomato sauce-nothing too spicy or herbaceous. To warm the kidney beans, simmer them in water to cover for several minutes and then drain.

Serves 6 to 8
Chili

2 teaspoons table salt or more to taste
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions , chopped fine (about 2 cups)
2 medium cloves garlic , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 2 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 cups tomato sauce
hot pepper sauce

Accompaniments

1 pound spaghetti , cooked, drained, and tossed with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese , shredded
1 can red kidney beans (15-ounce), drained, rinsed, and warmed
1 medium white onion , chopped fine (about 1 cup)


1. FOR THE CHILI: Bring 2 quarts of water and 1 teaspoon of the salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the ground chuck, stirring vigorously to separate the meat into individual strands. As soon as the foam from the meat rises to the top (this takes about 30 seconds) and before the water returns to a boil, drain the meat into a strainer and set it aside.

2. Rinse and dry the empty saucepan. Set the pan over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil is warm, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and browned around the edges, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chili powder, oregano, cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne, allspice, black pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, water, vinegar, sugar, and tomato sauce, scraping the pan bottom to remove any browned bits.

3. Add the blanched ground beef and increase the heat to high. As soon as the liquid boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chili is deep red and has thickened slightly, about 1 hour. Adjust the seasonings, adding salt and hot pepper sauce to taste. (The chili can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat before serving.)

4. TO SERVE: Divide the buttered spaghetti among individual bowls. Spoon the chili over the spaghetti and top with the cheese, beans, and onion. Serve immediately.

lookout division one; we're bringing t3h arp3!

seth macfarlane type comedy is basically this:

-take a scenario(red fire trucks)
-put it in a larger scenario that doesn't match(national geographic channel)
-milk it for all its worth(there were like 3 maybe four of those jokes during that one episode)

another way that seth milks the joke is that he'll just let that mismatch scenario run for like 3 whole minutes or so; ie when peter, glen, cleveland and joe are stranded and they do an orgy.

now, if you like that stuff, then family guy and american dad will be tons funny to watch.

if you don't like that, you'll basically think it's immature.

i personally like that stuff, but i still believe futurama is way more funnier than either.

i'm hoping the creator of simpsons someday ressurects futurama; because the simpsons as of now are getting REALLY stale.

sunnyvale golfland has tekken 5.1, but the mu has tekken 5.0. it doesn't help that mu has american sticks; ie the sticks have a higher ball, and it's more like a bat, less like a ball on stick. oh yea; tekken 5 - dark ressurection's coming out like in half a year i think? sorta like vf:evolution, but for tekken, which is a good thing; fix the problems of tekken 5.0 and tekken 5.1.

i got a new cell phone; this one's got a built-in camera in it. lg c2000 i think? since i never use im on the phone or the internet, that's all this phone's gonna be good for outside of calling; i'll probably need to get one of those usb to cell phone cables to maximize its use, cause sending pics will cost money.

is donovan mcnabb ambidextrous? i remember watching the hurricane katrina relief effort take place intermittently during monday night football, and donovan was one of the guys taking the calls, but he was cradling the phone w/his left shoulder, and writing with his left hand! but we all know he throws right-handed in the nfl, so...

nice...

joe gibbs' redskins FINALLY beat the cowboys last night...

my mom meows like a cat when she's in the crappié

EVERY... single... time...

and i don't think it's really scarring the squirrels that LIVE(that's right; LIVE) on top of our house, specifically, on top of the upstairs bathroom, away.

which is why she's been doing that everytime she goes into the bathroom.

heh... it's probably making ME want to move away more than the squirrels... because i end up getting SO #$^%^$%^%$^ annoyed everytime she does that.

does my mom really think that squirrels are THAT retarded?

that's gotta hurt

random biological facts about myself

just cause i feel like writing them down... nothing gross, don't worry.

i don't know my blood type; but i can infer from the genetic makeup of my brother, my mom and my dad, that i could be any of the four; my mom was blood type B, my dad was blood type A, and my brother was blood type O; that means my mom had BO, my dad had AO. if you remember your punnett squares, you'll understand what i'm talking about.

i always wondered why there was such a large age gap between me and phil; 8.5 years. the reason is that my mom miscarried on the 2nd baby, so my parents probably didn't try to create another baby for a time. i found this out maybe 1-2 years ago. i am really the 3rd kid of this family, believe it or not.

with that, think about this; does God put souls into human bodies, or within human bodies does he create souls? if my mom did not miscarry, would my soul have been in the 2nd baby, or would somebody else have been?

i'm back for about 8 days

football

how bout them niners getting off to a good start?

though baltimore lost to indy, deion sanders had a huge tackle in the 2nd quarter.

i don't really watch college football, but i remember seeing a highlight on saturday that was just sickening; forgot the two teams that played, but it was a long bomb, and the wr caught it behind his defender, and held on, tumbling with him into the end zone for a touchdown; looked like a bear hug when he did it; absolutely sickening.

the saints are supposedly going to be "america's team" this year, due to all the mishaps that have occurred over at louisiana so far...

i'll post more, but later, as cpu lab has a 10 min limit.

gorbachov, you tear this brick wall down!

reagan smash! reagan smash!

i can't believe they got rid of justice league unlimited for naruto on saturday night cartoon network

yea yea football's back

should've posted this 2-3 days ago though...

anyways, wouldn't be funny if the raiders turn into the niners and the niners into the raiders?

it's already going that way, seeing how raiders can't defend for crap even though that had number 99 for quite some time. and woodson. goes to show how much more football is a team sport compared to basketball, since there's double digit people on the field, that 1 or 2 won't make a difference, unless that one or two is a qb and a wr. ie colins and moss.

so, raiders turn into an air-it-up team, wonder if niners will turn into a grind it out team.

here's some good matchups coming up:

colts and ravens on sunday.
falcons and eagles on monday.
