war3 newbie

wohoo. i just played my first game of WarCraft 3 and won. I then practiced with the computer and then jeremy. it gets really frustrating at time when i'm learning because people are screaming at me to do like a million things. I'd say i did pretty well for my first time around. i still don't know if it's worth buying the game.

jeremy and i are about to watch the first episode of the third season of the Sapranos. I've never seen the first or second season but he has. I guess here goes my next round of procrastination. I have stuff due for tomorrow. ah well. "i'll do it later". i can already see my dad shaking his head. :D

by the way, dinner was deer sausage.

halloween update

Last halloween night, Karen and I went out to 4th street to The Forum to see the Drag Queen show. It was pretty fun. I didn't have to exert myself too much which was good cuz I was fighting off a cold. The drag queens were okay. Diva Aguillera danced and lip sang to Missy Elliott's "Work It". The gay strippers weren't that good. No one really seemed interested in them. I think they didn't appeal to the younger gay crowd. I forced Karen to participate in the Halloween costume competition. She was dressed as a 1920s gangster equipped with the machine gun and everything. If she had been a young gay boy, she would have won first place for sure. As is, some stupid costume with double horns got first place. The second place winner was someone dressed in all black wearing a beak on their nose. Karen would have gotten third place if there was one. The competition was judged by people yelling and cheering. I screamed my lungs out for Karen. If I had my friend Eric there, she would gotten first place. hahaha.

PICTURES FROM CARVING PUMPKINS AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE

Today, Jeremy and I went out to Fry's to pick up a new case for his computer. It is huge and green with a clear side panel. It looks cool but it is just way too large. I guess that's the price you pay for customization. We went to go see The Ring yesterday. It was pretty good but it left me asking a lot of questions about movies that play down your intelligence. Afterwards, we came home and played Tribes for awhile. Later that night, Jerms and I watched Windtalkers. UGH. What a horribly boring and pointlessly cheezy movie.

Hmm.. I'm kind of hungry now. I wonder what's for dinner.

halloween mission: success

woohoo. the children came, ravaged, and left. heh.

today, while i was at school i stole our studio pumpkin. when i got home i quickly made a ghost out of a white pillow case, plastic bags, and a thick black sharpie. I decided that if i wanted kids to come, i'd have to at least show them that we were in the halloween spirit. when i went to go get the candy out, i realized jeremy and john had already eaten half of it! i had to pull out some reserves from the back of the pantry (large packets of nerds).

jeremy cooked thai noodles for dinner. as i was washing the dishes, jeremy rang the door bell pretending to be trick or treaters. i quickly turned around half expecting it to be kids...but it wasn't. ten seconds later, i hear jeremy and john yelling at me telling me that there are kids coming. i was like "yeah right, whatever." they were like "we're not joking." the next thing i know, jeremy is ducking behind the counter and john is running up the stairs. there must be some pedaphobia in our house or something.

i answered the door and sure enough, there were kids. my first trick or treaters.
i said "trick or treat!" and gave them each two pieces of candy.

i got quite a few groups come and go through out the evening. at one point, i had a group of savages come and ravage my bowl. they were kind of rude and just started grabbing out of the candy bowl. no manners. there were some really cute costumes. this one little girl was dressed as a lady buy. it was adorbale. a lot of the kids were not in costume though. i wonder if it's trend for kids not to dress up anymore. i'm also wondering how much candy is the norm to give out. at some points, i passed out the candy and the kids were still standing there waiting...expecting more, i guess.

oh well. i was just happy they came.
happy halloween!


we had just finished a nice yummy thai noodle dish that jeremy had cooked and i was washing dishes.

no gays or atheists..what next? must have a girlfriend or boyfriend by age 16?

i'm so glad my parents never put my brother and i through the "scouts"...what a crock of crap.

happy halloween 2002

i'm not too hopeful about kids coming tonight. i might not be able to spread the joy of candy. i heard some guy say today that he hates halloween and was like "i don't support pagan holidays." ... hmm.. so i guess that means he doesn't celebrate christmas.

today, i overslept an hour and the jolted awake. it was so cold that i convinced myself that i should go back to bed and reset the alarm for five more minutes. i slept for another hour. jeez.

i went to class today and had some design graphic consultant tell me that i should design my building in the shape of a dog house. i didn't want to tell him that if i took his advice, i'd be kicked out of the school of architecture. granted, there are some desinger/architects who can get away with such a cheesy concept but i'm nowhere near that.

jeremy, john, and i went to eat at this vietnamese restaraunt called 888. they have some good cheap noodles there. when we got back, jeremy turned off all the power in the house to find out which circuit the door bell was connected too. who would have guessed it'd be the master bedroom. we had to shut down the server in order for him to replace our door bell switch. the other one was cracked and broken. so now we have a fresh door bell ringer in case the kids do come around. by the way, that's not why he changed it. :)

john went to his bowling league after that and jermey and i crashed out. i've finally emerged from slumber but jerms is still out. i think he's gonna be out for the rest of the night. i'm debating right now on wether to go back to sleep or try and get some work done.

i'm kind of excited about tomorrow.. this must be how the witch in hansel and gretel felt.
"i've got all this candy and sweets, i wonder if the children will come..mwahahahahaha"

capture the flag

it's going to be another long night i think. i am so uninterested in my two academic classes. oh well. i don't really want to go into it right now. all i know is that i have two assignments and some reading to do by tomorrow. i have an 8am class..

jeremy and john have been playing Tribes all night long. i'm not sure why they picked it up but they did. i tried to take a nap earlier this evening but they were too loud. i only got about a good half hour of down time. i went downstairs to escape the yelling and blasting sounds of the machinery...but it wasn't enough. they were just too freaking loud. i was lucky enough to have two cuties join me while i was napping. i didn't even know they joined me until jeremy woke me up to take pictures of them.

silly things. i have a feeling both jeremy and john are going to have a hell of a time waking up tomorrow morning too. i'd much rather be playing than worrying about my paper. i wish they would finish already. it's so hard to concentrate with all this yelling going on.

i screwed myself this weekend

well, it's been a pretty unproductive weekend. my brother asked me to come home with him, so jeremy
and i agreed. this weekend was supposed to be my catch-up weekend but now it's just an additive to my
ongoing line of procrastination. i might have to suck it up tonight and just do an all nighter.

i did have some fun this weekend. we visited a lot with our old friend who lives here and owns a Maggie Moos icecream franchise. i felt guilty but we got lots of free ice cream when we visited him. his store has 8 cameras with more to come. you can view them online too. i plan on linking them up to my website when i get some free time. the cameras came in handy too. they've caught two criminals on the webcams so far.

while we were there, jeremy and our friend, hani, played war3 in the back of the Maggie Moos storage room. He has two nice computers hooked up in the back where he lets his employees play on break. i swear thought, i just can't get away from that game. even an icecream store isn't safe. i'd pick up the game myself but i just don't have the time.

jeremy and i carved pumpkins this weekend too. mine ended up looking like ass. i meant for it to come out really cool but it was aweful. i threw it away. we're leaving jeremy's pumpkin here for my parents to have for halloween. i seriously doubt kids will come to our neighborhood. but we'll see.

i'm packing up to go right now.. a little tired, a little worried..and most def. craving more ice cream.
ETA back at Austin...8:30pm.. omg. i'm screwed.
