Here are the things that went down between Dec 26 and Dec 29. There was so much stuff to do, we had to plan it all out a week in advance!

Monday:24 Day. We just loafed around the house and watch 6 episodes of 24 Season 4. We continued to watch 4 episodes a night or so until the weekend, and it was a fun ride all-around. Everyone got a kick out ( Read more... )

Once again, Christmas ruled! A lot of stuff happened in the weekend leading up to Our Lord's birthday, so let's get to it.

When I get bored while surfing das internets, I check out Websnark for a quick laugh. Websnark recently declared that Ctrl+Alt+Del was a Penny Arcade clone, and was indistinguishable from the other "slice of life comics" like PA, PvP, and Questionable Content. Since Websnark can't tell the difference, here is a quick primer ( Read more... )

My first week back in Hayward was moderately eventful, but it was a stretch to find enough stuff to fill up this entry. Let's retrace what happened:

Monday:Danny and Benjamin went to SF to hang out and act like tourists, the parents were off doing their own thing, and I was at home working on my final projects for Comp Arch. After 5 or 6 hours ( Read more... )

Can you believe it took this long to get a new column out because I could not pick a good title? That and I was doing more research than is absolutely necessary for talking about my sophomoric attempts at making good riffs ( Read more... )

After a vexing finals week, I have returned to the parents house to rest and relax...after I finish my last project for Comp Arch, that is. Nevertheless, I found ways to amuse myself this past weekend, since working on MPI projects is for people who still care about that class.

Thursday:I had my early final, then I packed and went about cleaning ( Read more... )

So everyone's been thinking that the Mighty Metallica has been resting since the two Rolling Stones shows, and they're all back at home just doing nothing. No rehearsing, no writing, just sitting at home with the kids/cars/horses/dogs/whatever ( Read more... )

In a recent Weekend Report, I said that I had discovered the path to a better guitar tone, and I would fuck around with my amp until I produced the crushing sound I need. After yesterday's band practice, as well as a week or so of fiddling with my practice amp, I think I have stumbled on a good tone ( Read more... )

While we're on the topic of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I will again re-iterate that the movie was good, but I wish to add that they cut so much from the overall narrative that the book is vastly superior from a storytelling stance. For every movie like Sin City that faithfully re-creates the world of the adapted source material, there ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today I learned the hard way what it means to not have a bike anymore--you're completely fucked. Today I had my English Grammar final in Olson hall, and from there I walked downtown to get Chipotle for dinner. The burrito felt heavier today, probably because the price rose by 25 cents to account for the extra meat they slapped on, ( Read more... )
