So I aced that algebra exam that I was so worried about failing. Now I have to worry about the Chinese quiz on Monday. I thought it would only be pinyin(that's the system of spelling Chinese words with the Latin alphabet), which I'm pretty good at, but apparently we have to know some characters as well and I haven't studied those at all.

By the...

Anyone have any secrets on how to get better at algebra?

I really didn't pay attention in high school and I'm paying for it now.

i always found algebra to be pretty damn easy. same with trig and geometry...

but yeah, i was bitching about making warriors useless earlier by adding yet another tank class, but i am pretty happy now.
burtlo:
Practice. Lots of problems until your eyes bleed. There really isn't much about getting it ... it's more about trying to exhaust all possible combinations of the problems so that come test time you aren't surprised.

So...I got stoned for the first time in about ten years this weekend. Spent a lot of Friday and Saturday in a cabin on a lake out in the boonies trying to form complete sentences without laughing. It's not something I plan on doing a lot in the future but I could see myself doing it again. If you know me well you know that...

You know what I found? Sometime in the years since I've been there McDonald's has improved the quality of their coffee. Now they're as good as, if not better than Starbucks.

First week of school is done and I really enjoyed it.

Chinese is going to be way hard, but I think I can handle it as long as I study.

Foundations of Government is pretty interesting. I like the instructor because he's very critical of any viewpoint expressed in class, which is awesome because I expected that class to be overwhelmingly Southern Conservative.

I love...

Not chilling on the water looking all content and shit. Drunk mostly.

The other day I was at Whole Foods and I had to stare at this dude 3 times to make sure he wasn't you. It was creepy.

I start school on Monday, HOOOOOO!

I'm trying to be all responsible and stuff lately. It's working for the most part.

Textbooks are fucking expensive.

If I don't get back to the west coast as soon as logistically possible I'm going to fucking die. They should require a work visa to move here or something.

Oh, and thanks for the birthday wishes everybody! That...

I love the trio. Kudos.

I've been trying to be "responsible" lately as well. It's been a mostly losing battle.

Props on the new profile pic though. About time.

My roommates never do the dishes or clean the house. It's like some sort of sick revenge from never doing the dishes or cleaning when I lived with SupremePizzaMan and RICE. Especially since I'm trying to get my shit together and not be such a lazy ass all the time.

Yesterday someone explained to me that Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything for Love" was about not cheating on your significant other to find love elsewhere. That totally ruined the song for me because I always maintained that it was about ass to mouth.

Working in a non-union factory has really changed my perspective on a lot of things. Unskilled laborers get treated like garbage. I can't wait to start school and be out of this job.

The Protomen show was excellent. Such a great live band.

mrcrisp:
well, that gives me hope for the future. they just made me start prototype all over again, but are still talking about a possible med sep. how awesome.
mrcrisp:
nah, it's my bum leg. they're more concerned with whether i'll be able to drag myself up a ladder well during a fire or not. what sucks is that my orthopedist is a shrugging hack and so far all MRIs have been inconclusive. it's awesome!

so where are you going to school and what are you studying? did you keep any of your credits from training?

I'm pretty excited to see The Protomen again next week. I found this video of Will of One by them, I'm pretty sure the camera was right over my shoulder because that looks like exactly where I was standing when I saw them last.



HOPE RIDES ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

Wish their next album would come out soon.



I got all signed up for my classes this fall....
