Here's an updated list of DVDs that I still need to watch.
24 Season 1 (12 more to go)
Buffy Season 2 (watched two)
X Files ( beginning of Season 3... Season 456 coming in mail)
besides those, I still have to finish off Farscape Season 2 on my computer, and Babylon Five Season 3.
They're both excellent shows.

Bad, but not so terribly bad.
Midterm 2 Results:
Math 152: 75% (up from 50%)
Phys 153: 66.67% (down from 75%)
Math 101: 56% (down from 78%) I was so sure that I failed.
APSC 150, second test out of four, 80% (down from 88)
The thing that made me feel better was the the average for the phys midterm was ~56%, while Math101 had 44%, so yeah.
I take this as a learning experience. You have to almost fail before you truly learn... or at least that's what I tell myself.

Engineering Career form + Indiana Jones 2
Finally, the day has come for the choosing of the career. Actually, that deadline is far ahead (June 15), but thet forms are now available for choosing. I really don't know what to do at UBC. I still want to do Mining (for some strange reason), but I am also interested in Mechanical Engineering. I don't know about what I should choose. I've always said that I'd flip a coin or roll a die, but I don't think that's a good idea.
Indian Jones 2
I didn't really watch this movie because I was busy playing Tetris DS. Yeah, it is a fun game, and it was a blah movie, just like the first. It was very confusing because Indy was being chased by all these (dot) indians. I didn't really understand the power of the god (Kali). It doesn't really matter, I guess. The action scenes are good. The Chinese boy was greh. He was so annoying that I want to slap him. Kinda racist too, I think.
Oh, they're filming Orpheus at UBC right now. The Koerner library is decorated very beautifully with balloons and flags.

Two complaints though.
1) MY EYES! MY EYES!!! THE DOCTORS SAY I CAN SEE IN FIVE MINUTES.
2) The capitalized letters are annoying.
Good things
1) The only post seems interesting and perhaps very poetic.
2) Fake names... I like it.

Good Lord, my site completely sucks compared to other ones.
I just did some other search words on google and came up with a couple of other blogs of 1st year Engineering Students and I find that my blog is extremely underwhelming. From my skimming of the pages, I could see that the fundamental difference is the quality of the content. That's to say that my page has no content at all.
For example, take a look at Cloud's Blog, the first thing you can see is that the font is small. Why would it be small? So it can fit more content. Yeah, it is a quick fix for me, but that'd require me to do more than typing into a text box in Gmail. Yeah, he actually has something fun to talk about. Strange, huh? I can also see that he is extremely proficient in English. All of his sentences seem to flow together, unlike mine, which can have sharp transitions without warning.
Good thing I don't have a Maximum Tune fetish though.

Democracy doesn’t work. Part 1
Let me begin by examining the meaning of the word "Democracy". It comes from the word demos, meaning the common people, and kratein, meaning to rule. Together, it means "the common people rule". This means, in a real-world setting, that the opinion of the common person matters in the end.
Pure Democracy is when the people rule, literally. It means that whatever the majority wants will become law. Now, you might ask, "What is wrong with this type of government?" The problem is that people are inherently evil. What happens when you gather a group of individually evil people? You get a corrupt government. In World War 2, there was a huge anti-Japanese sentiment in the USA and other parts of the world. If the government did what they want, all of the Japanese people would be slaughtered. Same would happen for the Jews in Nazi Germany… oh wait, bad example. Why would people do this? The decisions are made out of various phobias which is some of the worst decisions ever. Fear clouds your judgments.

Know how I went to Angela's Dealie?
Wow, it totally sucked.
Even though I knew all the people, it still felt awful.
It wasn't because I couldn't talk to them. I did talk to them (Gary, Keith, Andrew), but it wasn't really "fun".
After the dinner, we went to the super Lansdowne Carnival. Yes, I realise that I made fun of it today already, but Dirk really wanted to go to it (With the rest of them)
Here's a hint: Don't bother with its crapstacularness. We saw Shinto there, and he had his (closet) homosexual friends around. Grr. Awful.

I wish I were dead.
I just came home now, after leaving home at 8:30. That's almost 13 hours of being away. I am completely exhausted from going to school and taking the exam. I don't know, it is just all so taxing.
Tomorrow is even worse. I have to wake up at 6:30 for an 8:00 class and I have a 7pm exam.

Weird how things happen.
Yesterday, I took a "Depression" pamphlet because there was a funny picture in it. I showed it to JC and he was all like "this reminds me of this other thing."
Anyways, I found it in my pocket on the way to school today and I showed the funny parts to my sister. When leaving UBC today, my sister told me that her friend "XXXXXX" sent her an email saying she'd kill herself. I naturally asked why. She was apparently having constant depression and she was uber angry because of her mom's constant yelling-ness.
100% Serious Business. We stopped by her house and my sister had a long conversation while I waited in the car. The pamphlet is now in "XXXXXX"'s posession.

Coca Cola is disgusting.
-From the Observer in uk
Wikipedia states that it takes 5 L of water to make 1 L of drink. That means four litres of it goes to waste. Even using conservative numbers, they wasted 180 million litres of water in 2004. That's utterly disgusting. Boycott Coke and any of its subsidiaries. Dreams V
Two very surreal dreams lately. They both "happened" in a semi-lucid state.
1) It was ~10 am on Saturday and I was still in bed. Now, I know for a fact that I was awake for a bit because I looked at the time. I was just trying to sleep some more. In my dream, I was still in bed, but I was listening to my ipod to BicycleMark's Communique Podcast. In the show, he mentioned that he was in Amsterdam and was just talking about his life. In the real world, I was not listening to Bicyclemark. I was in my bed with my head between pillows. I had imagined a good 5 minutes of his Podcast.
2) This second dream was just last night. I don't exactly know where I was. I was with some of my friends at a fast-food restaurant. Somebody had ordered a Coca Cola for me (as part of a meal?) I reluctantly accepted it. I just remember there was a dilemma when I was about to be finished my meal. This is going to sound really silly... I was debating internally about refilling the drink. Here is my thought process.
- Coca Cola is unhealthy.
- My drinking the Coca Cola will contribute to the demand for Coca Cola products.
- But... drinking more Coca Cola without paying them money is taking money away from them all.
- I don't have to drink it at all. I can just leave the drink on the counter and run.
- But... leaving it will mean the drink is wasted. Water is a valuable resource.
Alas, I asked my friend first about refilling the drink, and he said that this particular store did not have this option. I was relieved.

I got my hands on the V for Vendetta movies.
I haven't looked at them yet. I really want to watch that movie.
I watched Indiana Jones + Lost Arc yesterday and I am somewhat disappointed. I have obviously heard a lot about this franchise, but I didn't quite expect what is equivalent to a purely action movie. There is no substance to the story. I can easily sum up the story in a paragraph. You know what? I will!
The year is 1936, and Indiana Jones must find the lost Arc of the Covenant before the Nazis do. To do this, Indy must first acquire the headpiece to the Staff of Ra from his old girlfriend living in Nepal. The two travel to Cairo to attempt to stop the dig. Once there, they meet their professional digger friend (Saddle, or some rediculous name like that.) They find the Ark, but are captured by a French man working with the Nazis. Indiana Jones fight them and rescues the Ark. He gets it onto a boat, which was later robbed by a Nazi Submarine. Indy follows the submarine (somehow) onto their secret Nazi Island in the South Pacific. They open the Ark, and everyone died because they didn't close their eyes. The Ark is then retrieved by Americans and stored in a safe place.
Wow, that was longer than I thought.

Moola.com
is this site with games where you bet your money. You get a free cent every time you lose all your money. The game works by doubling your money if you win against an opponent ( another player)
You can potentially get .01 * 2^(n) where n is the number of wins you get... that's 1024*1024*1024 * .01 = 10 million dollars.
Obviously nobody will ever get that far because the person will cash out at the tenth, or 11th game (1000-2000), so the company doesn't have to have that much money.
Also, the site forces you to watch an advertisement, with a question that you must answer before you can play. This is their way of generating money.
They force you to watch an advertisement, which is great for an advertiser, because you KNOW that people watched them. I think each ad earns them .05 cents... and that gives them 1/5 dollar generated.
Good deal, I'd say.

The Turth.
The turth is that I actually updated the directories yesterday so that my LLPOTD was there. I just didn't post a link to it.
Now, I just need to find a way to automatically add each of those sites to a directory... but how?
Yesterday's I thought was very funny. Read the italicized parts.
Today's a weird Poll of the Day...
Not exactly GameFaq's numbers, but it shows that there is an active community.
Other: Zelda controller... Eh. It doesn't affect me at all. Really a Non-News to me.
PS3 Price / Information : Good for them. I hope this "forces" Nintendo to add a hard drive or something.

I had my final lab class for Physics 153 today.
Man, writing lab reports suck... especially when it is taken from MY notes.
Good lord. It took about two and a half hours to finish. I wasn't actually sure what it was supposed to be about, so I just summarized the report.
Here's to hoping that I didn't do terribly. The whole lab section is worth 15% of my marks.
Now... why am I so busy?
I don't know. I have exams coming up (One on the night of my birthday, mind you) and I should be studying. I know I need to... but I guess I just don't care, lawl.
There's no point, I feel. Am I just thinking this to justify my inaction?
Yeah, seriously though, I will be doing some studying tomorrow... for the friday exam. I promise.

Day? Wasted II
Yes, friends. I wasted another day fully. The amount of work that I did today totals to nothing at all. Just like any other Sundays, I woke up late and I hopped (almost) straight to the computer. I finally finished Guild Wars completely once, and boy that took long. Now I just have to wait for the expansion, I guess.
I watched two more episodes of X-Files today, the first dealing with deadly contagious acne which is spread by the pus exploding. The second has to do with a man whose shadow can KILL.
Yeah, when watching the dvd, I realized that it is missing the final episode of Season 2. Apparently Canadians got shafted by this release. There used to be a 7th DVD in the old $150 box set, but they kinda "forgot" to move the episode when they changed it to a 6 disc dvd set. Those bastards.

I spent the whole day watching television. Awesome Television, mind you.
2 episodes of Xfiles: One with circus freaks, and the other with an evil poltergeist-ty boy.
1 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
1 Stargate SG1, season 9 finale.
1 Sixty minute special finale of Battlestar Galactica.
All of them were pretty awesome, especially the two finales. It is just wonderful to see the quality of television.
No new anythings today.

The Most Overdramatic Sentence in the Topic Line.
The Ancient Greeks once said,"Don't put your horsewagon down the path of the thorny seeds." It loosely means that we should intentionally put ourselves in danger just for fun. Now, this is an important lesson because I've recently come to realize that many people don't really take their health seriously. Smoking is one big thing. Don't Smoke, Frank. Ever heard of Lung Cancer™ ?
Now, I was spending my hours afterschool with some awful friends. First, with Senor Josef Evans. I went to his house to fix his borked laptop. Then, he asked me to drop him off in Richmond. I did, and also went with him to Ms Lee's house. Well, anyways, I had to fix another computer there. People should just take better care of their computers. Seriously.
Now, the forty two thosand dollar question: Did I enjoy my time? I can honestly say no. There was some trash talk (mostly involving Niggers, or some topic which inevitably leads to incestous jokes), and the whole night was not memorable. I am sure glad I left the rest of the people (cRuel, Santa, Josef, and Lee) when they began to watch Law and Order. Boring.
The epiphany that you should be realizing is this : pseudo-intellectualism is inferior to actual substance. Don't ever try to make yourself sound sophisticated when you obviously are not. Why? You will fail and look like an asshole. Trust Orwell.
Now, this next link is actually pretty horrible. I enjoyed the last comment though.

Dreams IV
Two different dreams from last night.
I don't think they are related.
1) I was in the most fantastical library ever! Walls of shelves are three or four stories high aranged in a circular pattern. I was looking for Dune, the novel by Frank Herbert. I assume everything is alphabetical, because when I looked, I saw many movies, games, and novels starting with the letter "D". It was coincidentally right by the door. I don't remember much after that, but I do recall seeing some GC games on the wall. The Library was large and had many people. Come to think of it, it actually resembles a retail store.
2) I was travelling through the wilderness which was complete with dangerous wild life. I was being chased by these evil squirrels or something through the middle of a forest. The squirrels never touched me though, because I was quick on my feet. Eventually, I reached a safe haven with a bunch of other people. Apparently, I was on a "New Island" of some sort, and the other people wanted me to map the area. I was like "Aw hell no, it is dangerous outside", but I think they kicked me out of the house/castle/wall/gate/whatever. Those bastards!
I went in the same direction as before (East) and I came to the end of the Island. Hm. It was a safe place with no weird animal monsters. I look around and I see this guy(or really ugly lady) hiding behind the cliff on the beach. I went to try to talk to it, but it wouldn't talk back. Now, at this time, it holds out a paper with images of stuff it wants. There was like five or six things that it wanted. There was an image of a compass; I'm sure. Anyways, I didn't have all of the stuff, so I ignored it.
Oh, and special LL page for today. (Notice the lack of a NWS warning.)

I really hate stress. It makes me stressful. Word on the street is that stress is bad.
Do you know what else is bad? Strain. Stress and Strain are both bad.
Enough of that.
I just don't feel well lately. I'm getting older and my immune system is weakening.
I never really recognize myself in the mirror anymore.

Prediction for the Future
Americans Have Negative Savings Rate "The government reported last week that consumers last year spent all they earned and then some, pushing the personal savings rate into negative territory at minus 0.5 percent.
National debt at 8.2 Trillion... and needs to be raised again.
All of these seem to point to some critical point. Eventually,the bubble will burst, and someone has to pay.
So, I predict hard times ahead for Americans. Jobs will keep disappearing for them. Already, some people have to work two or three jobs to support their families.It is going to get worse. Suicide will be their only option.
"The government reported last week that consumers last year spent all they earned and then some, pushing the personal savings rate into negative territory at minus 0.5 percent.
The savings rate has only been negative for a full year twice before, in 1932 and 1933, when Americans were struggling with huge job layoffs during the Great Depression."
249 Billion spent in Iraq... That's about 250 Million per day since March 20, 2003 ( 1,084 days)National debt at 8.2 Trillion... and needs to be raised again.

Fence(s) : Part 4
During a recent( month+ ago) windy-windiful session of cold air blowing, more of the fence on both sides fell down.
It is incredible to see the contrast between the neighbors.
The neighbor on the south side gathered the pieces of wood which fell into our backyard. We went over there and offered some money to fix it. The old kind people declined and said that their son(s) was coming to fix it. Now that it is fixed, they won't even accept payment for the material. They just said that it is not a big deal at all. I like this neighbor.
The other neighbor (from the January posts) hired someone to fix it the same weekend. He came over and returned fifty dollars (out of 150 that we gave) and said that it is fixed for now. It is pretty clear that the job wasn't well done. It will fall again soon. The question is when?

Perhaps a change in field... ?
I got this in the mail... edited for content, of course.
Dear Student,
I'd like to invite you to consider going into English Honours. Ours is possibly the oldest and best such program in Canada. Graduates from the program are well prepared to pursue graduate studies, law, journalism, education and many other fields. BC's 2003 Rhodes Scholar was in English Honours, and she found that she was well ahead of her peers when she began her studies in Oxford.
Nice try, but I don't have the prerequisites for the course... and it sounds painfully boring.

According to translations, that will be the WORLD MAP.
I don't think I want to live in a world with two cities. =/

The Sleeping Experiment: Part 2
It looks like I failed tonight due to the extended hyper friendly conversation over the drama...
THE DRAMA!
This whole conflict was caused by a sense of betrayal, I believe. The person thought that I was commenting behind his back. The truth is that I know that one of his friend frequents this site and would tell him anyways. He might not believe this, but I certainly do. The comments about the conversation wasn't that offensive anyways.
Yeah, I admit freely that the word "Antifriend" wasn't the right word to use.
1) It was a (now outdated) parody of "Friends, My A-N-T-I-D-R-U-G", which I carefully switched certain words so that it would make sense.
2) When I was typing it out, I was thinking about how it would affect the person. I falsefully assumed that the person would realise the parody and let it go, or think that it was just another one of ol THIRD STRONGEST MOLE's weird offensive language.
That said, I am sorry about using that word. I will say it here. However, I will not go back in time and erase that blogpost from history because
1) I do not own a time machine
2) Erasing that post is akin to Censorship, something that I oppose.
3) I really wish I had a time machine though.
That's about it.

Blogs: Serious Business
Premise: Somebody was offended by my use of "A.N.T.I.F.R.I.E.N.D" (HEY GUYS, IT PROBABLY ISN'T JACKY)
I don't even know why it is such a serious business when the URL to this blog is LIElinks.be and that I've been calling myself LIER X AGERATE (that is, Liar Exaggerate)
The truth is that you can't trust anything from a self-proclaimed lying blog. There was some serious hurtfulness and that is just silly.
Silly.
Now, for the real topic.
J*O*S*E*P*H IS MY A-N-T-I-F-R-I-E-N-D
HE IS AN ASS AND SMELLS LIKE POOP.
THAT, AND THE POOP IS REALLY SMELLY AND OLD.

Retard Sighted.
(-81)^-3/4
(-81)^-3/4 = -1/(84^3/4)= -1/(fourth root of 84^3)
Sounds like a real number to me.

The Sleeping Experiment: Part 1.
I've been thinking about how my life seems miserable and I found out the cause of this mini-depression. I need more sleep. That's why I'll be increasing my sleep from 6h30min to 8h. This is the most probable cause. With more sleep, I'll be able to 1) have more time (chance) to dream and 2) have my waking hours much more memorable.
Lier X Agerate.
(Pronounced Leer Ecks Ajerate) is a pretty awesome character. You all need to play the game.

Quotes
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering, before committing suicide at the Nuremberg Trials
Third Strongest Mole
What does that actually mean?
First, let us see where it comes from.
It comes from the game Earthbound, in the Dusty Dusty Dunes between Threed(k) and Fourside. There are five of these moles in a cave filled with diamonds who all claim to be the third strongest.
Why the third?
Some people believe that the fact they all claim to be the third strongest mole (out of five) seems to show that they all want to be or think they are "Normal" and "Average", not too strong, but not too weak. This metaphor can be applied to our society. There are many people out there that think they are "normal". Can they really be normal? No. We are all abnormal, and can't be the third strongest mole.
The idea of being average has its appeal.Being the average person, you can always say that there are far worse people than you.Also, when representing for your organization or family, you can claim that you're only average and that there are far better people than you. This is done to save face without saying or admitting that you're the worst.

Most important thing in life:
Grr... I am still very angry at the state of the world...
I wish the Earth would have some of its cities explode, killing millions of people. That way, people would work together to rebuild instead of this bullshit "dog versus dog" society. It looks like I'll just have to wait a couple more years.

I must be feeling lonely.
Yes, it is that time again. Dream time.
I don't understand the circumstances, but the whole Matthew McNair class was was going into a theatre to watch a film. The weird thing was that it was the "X-Files:Fight The Future" movie. being displayed on an old television on the left side of the theatre. They brought in another one for the right. I initially tried to get a good seat in a lower section, but I realised that they were full. I went up and got a seat just in time. I thought that the seat was alligned weirdly, then I looked up. The whole room was "rotated"by 45 degrees. The silver screen was aligned at the back of the threatre in a 45 degree angle. So, my first instint was to hide between the crevices of the seats, at the bottom of the seat.
I saw the whole room align and rotate to the other way, the right way. That was pretty neat. Just as the "principal", a male one whom I can't remember, began to speak, the television from before came crashing down. People realised that that Television brought in for the "right" side of the room didn't have magnetic base. That's why it fell.
Anyways, he was giving away a single PS3 preorder of somesort. Valued at 600$. I don't know exactly the logic behind this, but a guy named "Aaron" won it. He had secondary prizes... one for Adam Dunfee (everyone called shenanigans) , and another for someone else. Then he handed out limited Binders. On closer inspection, they were "Monty Python" themed ones, with two cloths on the sides of the clearish plastic case. It was designed to look like a book. Also, on the back of the book were credits. I asked the person next to me, who is also a McNair Alumni, if he remembered the names of the people in Monty Python, but then I saw that the credits listed people like the "Lights Coordinator" et cetera.
That's the gist of my dream. There was other reasons such as why a PS3 was given away, or how you could win. I remember that it was a contest of some sort where people do trials or activities to win. It was refreshing to see some friendly faces (such as Oliver) in my dream. They were just littered everywhere. Basically, all the people from Matthew McNair were in it, but they remained in the background and it would be impossible to name them all.
