I poured over my textbook until 4:30am and slept for 2 hours in my car, and I'm still experiencing mild bouts of caffeine shakes after all the coffee I drank last night and this morning in preparation for a midterm today. It went OK, but the test was a bitch. A real toughie. My feelings of less-than-complete victory over that exam were quickly ( Read more... )

The Sonics edged out a victory over those dirty Spurs these evening, and I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for the win. Fuck Tony Parker, that little frenchie shit (I can't F'IN BELIEVE he's banging Eva Langoria). Anywho, I'm about to go play some intoxicated chess, so I'll LJ with all of you later... (I do believe I've broken new ground ( Read more... )

It is currently 6:42PM and I have just woken up and crawled out of bed. I'm really quite confused as to why I slept so long, considering that last night was a not-so-crazy evening of watching The Life Aquatic (great movie) and enjoying a couple beers before retiring at around 2:00AM. I suppose that sometimes ones body just decides that sixteen ( Read more... )

I was just sitting here, reading through various friends' LJs, when Nate's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart "Super Hits" CD did a belly-flop off of the entertainment center. Freaky. Sort of. Ah yes, and for all of those who missed it the first time around, LJ username "slurves" is the roadtrip journal of Alan and I, soon to be punctuated with lovely

BBQ trout, turkey burgers, and Widmer Hefeweizen are an odd but tasty combination. 2 midterms down, one coming up next week -- the quarter is moving along surprisingly quickly. I work a double shift tomorrow, at the conclusion of which I'll be heading straight out into Seattle for The Good Life concert. Alan and I are heading out Thursday afternoon ( Read more... )

I am now the proud owner of (1) a brand new, entirely toilet-water/urine-free cellphone, and (2) a new pair of glasses, which have delivered me from the agony of old, worn contact lenses. In fact, I'm wearing them right now; as anyone who has experienced it knows, it's strange wearing glasses again after such a long streak with only contacts -- ( Read more... )

I've heard and used the phrase many times, without knowing the precise definition, so I looked it up in an idiom dictionary. I can't say exactly why it's funny to me, but I laughed heartily when I read the definition, especially the last example ( Read more... )

Howdy. So I was briskly walking to my car in the rain out at UW today, when I realized that I very much had to urinate. Being only a few short yards away from my vehicle, however, I decided that I would just hop in, hit the freeway, and hold it until arriving home. This was a terrible idea. Despite my belief that I could beat rush hour nastiness, I ( Read more... )

So, I already dropped my much-feared Econometrics course at UW (which, in terms of prerequisite math and statistics knowledge, I was totally unprepared for and almost certain to fail), and have replaced it with a no-sweat, freshmen level on-line environmental science class. Tally 5 easy credits, please. However, the rest of my school schedule ( Read more... )

$356.48 = My total expenditure on books for spring quarter. Ouch. That oh-so-good NyQuil warm, comfy feeling should ensure a decent night's sleep in preparation for my first day of classes tomorrow. I do believe that this quarter will be my most difficult academic experience ever, but I hope that I'm wrong. It's not that I don't appreciate a ( Read more... )
