My quest for the power 9, part 4

November 19th, 2008

Won a Mox Jet auction late last night. This was kind of an impulse buy; I’m not sure if I overpaid or not. The Time Walk remains ever elusive.

The list:

  1. Ancestral Recall
  2. Time Walk
  3. Black Lotus
  4. Mox Sapphire
  5. Mox Pearl
  6. Timetwister
  7. Mox Jet
  8. Mox Ruby
  9. Mox Emerald

Things on my mind

November 16th, 2008
  • I feel like I’m the only one who thought the new Bond movie was kind of bad. Unimpressive cinematography, terrible plot. I just don’t get it. James Bond isn’t Jason Bourne. Why are they trying to make him a gritty action hero?
  • Got the Big Game ticket. Can we win Big Game this year? Cal’s pretty bad, so I think we have a chance.
  • Next weekend has the last home games for women’s volleyball, the second of which is the same day as Big Game. The logistics of next weekend will be quite tough.
  • I think I’m burned out from too much statistics.
  • Lots of people walk the dish foothills loop. I think it looks a lot better at night.
  • I still have no idea what I’m going to do after school, or during the summer for that matter.
  • I really wish I could write better. Gigantic mental block.
  • Still really want that ipod touch skin.
  • Still totally crushing on Marit Larsen like a 2-liter bottle of orange soda.

Things I am waiting for:

November 16th, 2008
  • The skin for my ipod touch.
  • The Mox Sapphire.
  • Problem sets from the data mining class.
  • True love to sweep me off my feet.

I think one of them might not come. I’m thinking maybe I got cheated on the Mox Sapphire auction.

Things on my mind

November 13th, 2008
  • Why the ipod touch skin still isn’t here yet. C’mon c’moooooooon…
  • Pulled my hamstring in TKD tonight. I am kind of in pain, but not as much pain as…
  • Freakin’ ANOVA models. I hateseses them. Why am I doing a Stats degree? I’m not sure.
  • My body feels like it’s falling apart. I can’t concentrate on anything anymore.
  • I don’t wanna do homework anymore.

iPod Touch!

November 12th, 2008

Bought an iPod Touch (16GB, 1st gen) at the bookstore yesterday. I have affectionately/creepily named it “Marit Larsen,” and added onto it videos and music of its namesake. I’m hoping it will be a useful device around campus, seeing as how it has all the iphone functionality less the phone (and who ever calls me anyway?). Probably will be nice to check email, etc. in/in between classes. But first I need the plastic protector skin to arrive so I can actually use it in the wild.

Despite my best attempts of buying things like mad, what with the iPod, Magic cards, and a new set of sparring gear, the economy is still floundering. This makes me a little sad.

Things on my mind

November 10th, 2008
  • The word “aporia.”
  • The loneliness of existence. The universe is a cold and empty place.
  • Whether to buy the NBA online league pass.
  • Why I like wasting money so.

My quest for the power 9, part 3

November 9th, 2008

Mox Sapphire, I await you. Approximate cost so far: $1000. Talk about a serious lapse in fiscal responsibility. It may be time to take a break from this madness.

The list:

  1. Ancestral Recall
  2. Time Walk
  3. Black Lotus
  4. Mox Sapphire
  5. Mox Pearl
  6. Timetwister
  7. Mox Jet
  8. Mox Ruby
  9. Mox Emerald

Things on my mind

November 9th, 2008
  • Stanford women’s volleyball is still dominating.
  • Stanford football is pretty terrible, but still may get into a bowl game.
  • Mixed effects ANOVAs are driving me crazy.
  • Collecting pieces of cardboard is expensive. Wonders whether buying a TV would be better, but refuses to pay for cable.
  • Curious that LolliLove has a “very long wait” on Netflix. Jenna Fischer has an intoxicating smile.
  • Not a fan that you’re allowed to kick the back in TKD now.
  • Has no idea what to do with David Lee. Will his stats improve soon?

I’ve Heard Your Love Songs

November 9th, 2008

I’m pretty much smitten by her on a daily basis. Supposedly this is her second single off The Chase.

Sadness in Norway

November 7th, 2008

First Aftenposten stopped publishing news articles in English. Now all the Norwegian lemmings are dying because of global warming.
