i think I'm probably a troll, and a failure...

Gosh. My decision to not keep an active, truthful facebook page is cemented by today's browsing of my graduating class. Everyone's got families and kids and careers, and I'm jazzed by the new keyboard I picked up for cheap, and that my blood elf warlock just dinged to level 45. Urghhh. I'm such a loser. Wow. I should lurk the fuck less, not moar. The new craze: Reddit. Great time waster. As if I needed another avenue for wasting time. Sure, I'm in school, doing well, should finally finish by the end of next year, but for fuck's sake; that means I'll be 34 by the time I go to Korea. Jesus Fuck.

the Auto-Tune bandwagon

I admit it, the Geek in Korea already blogged about these guys, which is how I got turned onto them, but their vids are just too cool, so dammit, I'm posting them in here as well...

and also the followup to this:

oh yeah and here's the Geek in Korea's blog : http://blog.torgodevil.com/

fish list

I caught my first bluefish yesterday! In retrospect, I should've kept it, but I really didn't feel like cleaning it, and the guy fishing next to me was eager to take it home, so I gave it to him. I had questioned whether it was of legal size, thinking the limit was 16" (my fish was 16.75"), but I just checked the regs, and I was way legal (size limit is 12") oh well. Anyway, I figured it's a good time to make a knock list of the fish I've caught thus far...

know your limits

So I caught my first pompano today while surf fishing, but because I didn't know the size limits, I threw it back, not wanting to take an undersized fish (and risk getting fined by the local Wildlife Commision).  Now that I check the regulations, I realize that my fish was indeed of legal size, and could have graced my dinner plate tonight.  Dammit. As mentioned, it was my first pompano, so it would have been nice to eat it.  They're supposed to be good eating too, so that kinda sucks.  Here's what they look like...

Just goes to show, you should know your limits..

Korean movies

So I just saw Chingoo, (which actually came out years ago, but whatever) it was really good.  I haven't updated in a while, but since I have many school assignments due and tests to study for, this seemed like a perfect way to procrastinate even further.  Other popular ways (for me) to procrastinate: watch some Korean tv shows, like Family Outing 

or 1N2D

or read other people's blogs: Seoul Patch, Amanda Takes Off, Geek in Korea, FoodWishes

or otherwise think of ways to geek out and become even more antisocial

check please

critical assignments, classroom observation, excel spreadsheets, planning to drink this thursday, fishing poorly lately, not catching much, not going out, threw a par +6 on a 9 hole disc golf course yesterday, 4' black snake scared the shit out of me on an awry throw on the 7th hole, that was exciting, journal article reviews, skyping with friends, information security, check this shit out

speaking of that, Slumdog Millionaire was a really good movie, as was Taken and Religulous and Gran Turismo. Good stuff. Enjoyable.

Historicality

Wow. I fell asleep I must admit, eye-weary from result tracking, switching between browser tabs, comparing coverages. I woke up at 2am and I see that I slept through a historical moment (though I guess one may argue that every moment bears a small history to be made..), and that something that many might have thought impossible has happened. Craziness. I watched his victory speech, he seems a good orator, and I have a feeling that he pronounces the word "nuclear" correctly, so that's good. I dunno. Feels pretty good.

Saw this on ZeFrank's blog earlier today, found it to be the funny...
