well, guys although my post is about 9/10, the day you are seeing this is probably on 9/11 so i just hope that everyone remembers what happened exactly 1 year ago. i remember exactly what went on that morning. the nite before was a normal nite where i probably stayed up till 5am watching anime. the next morning everyone in my suite was running around frantically. i didn't bother getting up until my dad gave me a call around 9am and asked if i heard what was on the news. i said i heard something about meteors falling outta the sky. (hey, i wasn't that far from the truth). he told me that the WTC has been crashed into with 2 jet-liners and looks like it will soon collapsed. i jumped outta my bed and went outside where everyone else was looking at the TV. sure enough there it was. that day was special. it help us realize that we were no longer inside a dream bubble, and made us realize how vulnerable we were. that day, every american put aside their worries and arguments and united for we stood as one country.

i'm in love... with another anime. Chibi is so cute!!! Just started watching this new anime and Chibi's this little baby dragon:

i just realized i've been forgetting to change the date on these news logs for the last several entries. but those have been fixed now and i apologize for the missing update yesterday. was chatting with my cuz the whole nite and before you knew it, it was 4am and i needed to get up by 9am so i had to make the hard choice of disappointing you guys or missing a class. yes, yes, i know, toland worrying about missing classes? but i've sworn to do better this semester. hopefully i'll see some good results. ^_^x

just got my wirelss card today. it's a dell truemobile 1150 but really is a rebadged orinoco gold pc card which is known to be one of the best in the wireless industry. it's been really fun testing it out with airbears and snakescott's wireless access point who lives below me.

our apartment is being renovated right now. first they painted our kitchen and now they're re-tiling our bathroom. the re-tiling started last friday and then he had a 2 day break and now he's continuing. looks like it wont be done until tomorrow. guess what, that means i haven't had a shower in 3 days already. but i did manage to wash my hair in the sink, my head got really itchy. so, if something smells, it must be me. hehe

well, i leave you with a hilarious auction my friend just showed me: WONTON SOUP

yesterday... whew! what a night!. anyway, i was too dr.. i mean too tired to really describe anything in details for i couldn't continue and wanted to end the news and go to sleep. there were couple things we did last nite. after we left the saloon, we went back to our place and ben had previously bought some type of good whiskey (which everyone besides me agree, but then again, who am i to judge when i've never had any other type; supposedly this type of whiskey is a lot easier to go down than others). well, cunndogg convinced me to take a sip of whiskey and it was bitter and nasty and burning. recall ralph from simpsons, "it taste like burning." but the after-taste wasn't that bad. the bitterness quickly left my mouth. but once again, i've proven to myself that i don't like alcohol, doesn't matter what type, what kind, or what genre. anyway, everyone was a bit tipsy @ this point. everyone else had 2 glasses of white russian and then a shot or 2 of this whiskey. nobody was drunk, so we decided to take a walk to the park (next to the berkeley rose garden; sorry but i forgot what the name of the park was). lemme tell you, the park was extremely fun! i mean we were riding the see-saw which made our butt sore. then the swings and ben all this time was yelling, "HELP! I'M GETTING RAPE! AHHHHHHHH!" in a shrill voice. Then came the slides. this was the most fun. it's an extremely long/tall slide to be on a normal playground. looks like it was meant for the waterparks. but anyway, i first slid down on my pants and my butt was on fire by the end of the trip. apparently there were cardboard pieces around which u were suppose to sit on riding it down. but for some reason, it wasn't thrilling enough for us. either cunndogg or ben decided to throw sand @ liam when he was coming down and it triggered a almost frictionless effect. so each of us took a cardbox folded up with sand and before we slid down we pored it onto the slide. weeee! i swear i was going @ least 35mph down that slide. then of course, the cop. *shivers* would've been super bad if he arrested us. 3 calls. the cop received 3 calls of complaint. wow! we must've been one noisy bunch of kids. hehe.

well, any tech-saavy fan would've known that Microsoft is releasing Windows XP SP1 (Service Pack 1) on 9/9. however, for it's premier members, it's been released already and someone leaked it out onto the net. now everyone is downloading it. worried that you have a cracked version? well TweakTown has found a way to bypass that and let you installed SP1. rumors about it crashing your system, not letting you boot into windows, and others such and such, have not been verified yet. but so far the only problem people has is that if your cd-key is one of mass generated, it will halt the installation half way through and you'll return to your regular windows xp, with no changes (as they say). anyway, the fatest link ppl have found so far to download SP1 is this. it's a 130meg file so be warned. ^_^x

anyway, more doodles for you! chk it out! ^_^x

several exciting things happened to me today. actually several very exciting things happeneded to me today. first thing was i got 3 shipments: 1 from UPS, 1 from Office Max, and 1 from Office Depot. finally got my wireless nic, bookcases, and plastic drawers. actually this caused the 2nd interesting event.

I was on my way out to class. Office Depot calls and tells me that they're planning to ship within 45minutes. I'm like okay.. so this was my first class i ditched this semester. sigh... once it starts, you can't go back. good thing is my apartment is almost ready for display.

Next thing was i realized i've been getting a lot less email lately. then i found out that one of my forwarding accounts/very very extremely old email account: krunk@hotpop.com stopped forwarding my emails. it is now fixed, but:

85% of those was junk mail.

Well, i'm saving the best for last. You know you're having fun when the cops are after you. well, not when but before they're after you. hehe. cunndogg, liam, ben, and i went to the saloon again and we got our drinks (mine was non-alcoholic; just a statement before you start thinking otherwise). we then took a walk to the rose garden/park. this was the extremely fun part. i missed those days on the swings, the see-saw, the slides, the monkey bars, but today i got to try them all out again. there's apparently a curfew for the park and we were being extremely noisy. suddenly sirens came on from two different directions and were heading toward the park. the four of us just got up and started running. at that moment, we all felt like fugitives. it was a very scary, but exciting experience. the cops apparently weren't after us, but little did we know... so we decided to crash over @ lorie's, seeba's, and dan's place. this was around 1:30am and the lights were all off, but the windows were open. so we rang the bell, several times, and were waiting for them to get outta bed. we're mean huh? anyway, after 5-6mins no one answered and we decided to leave. we were on our way back when SUDDENLY outta no where came a voice:
"TOLAND AND LIAM. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE."
we were looking everywhere and finally saw ben using a cone as a megaphone. suddently he started walking quickly toward us. apparently he spotted a cops car and saw he coming. outta the park emerges a police officer. WE'VE BEEN CAUGHT! he was not a happy camper. he claims his already gotten 3 calls that there's been a noisy bunch of kids inside the park causing public disturbance and told us to go home immediately. then he said, "you, with the camo-jacket." cunndogg was wearing his camoflauge jacket tonite and began questioning him. he said he smelled alcohol in his breath and asked how old he was. but cunndogg was slick and got off safely. well, we're finally home and i'm happy to report that i've had an extremely exciting day. ^_^x

g'nite ^_^zzz

grrrrr, we miss the delivery truck today =(. it was suppose to contain our 3 bookcases. came @ 1:05pm which I was home but apparently I was on the phone with AT&T as i noted on yesterday's news so they got a busy signal when they tried calling me down.

thanks to mkko, he found a hilarious film on the net. I present to you In God We Trust. hope you'll enjoy it as much as i did. ^_^x
