I’ve never been so angry about a shirt before. I’m such an idiot. I left it at Melissa’s place before they moved out and trashed anything that wasn’t theirs. Now my striped on-sale-for-$12.95 Gap shirt is gone forever. Had I just mentioned it as soon as I noticed it was missing the shirt could have [...]
I am very tired. Yesterday I drove up to Jon’s place for more birthday celebratoryness. Following a brief nap in my car on what was a beautiful day (Jon and Cat weren’t there when I arrived), I was eventually given Enter the Matrix for Gamecube (woo!) and plans for the night: going to Dave & [...]
Kevin just shared a very interesting article on The Matrix Reloaded with me. Don’t read it if you haven’t seen it yet, but do make sure to get back to it once you do. http://www.corporatemofo.com/stories/051803matrix.htm I found it highly enlightening. Whether or not he’s correct is another matter, but regardless, it’s fascinating. It also makes [...]
(Note: It’s Sunday as far as I’m concerned) I didn’t get to see the air show. Nobody wanted to come (though I should’ve called Matt, whose brother is in it). Oh well. There should be another Millville air show next year, surely with better weather. Plus, I bet Steve Chappell will have pictures. I did [...]
(Note: It’s Saturday as far as I’m concerned) I got up at 6:30 this morning to take Quynh to Rutgers for her orientation. I managed to catch Melissa before she left with Vu and Paulo for Pittsburgh. Gina was kind enough to take me to lunch at the dining hall, and then I got back [...]
OK, I’ve decided that the Chain Stories thing won’t be done for a while. A site redesign MUST come first. The problem is that I’m too lazy and I really have no idea of what I want the site to look like. Doesn’t really matter much, as I plan to allow multiple “skins” for the [...]
Good reviews mean nothing when you’re losing your job!
0 Comments Published by Duc May 16th, 2003 in UncategorizedI had my performance appraisal yesterday. It was exceedingly positive so I’m pretty happy. It’s too bad I won’t get a chance to take advantage of all that good will. The next year would have been good for me professionally. I need to work harder on finding a job, though. After a concentrated effort I’ve [...]
It’s funny watching everyone freak out about graduation. Not funny like I want to make fun of them. But funny in that now they know what I felt like! If you’re worried that you’ll miss school because it won’t be the same, you’re right! I can’t tell you how much it sucks not being able [...]
The Matrix Reloaded was cool! Spoiler time: Yes, the writing was pretentious. But so was the writing in the first! It IS worse this time, but it still doesn’t bother me. I know they’re trying to sound smarter than they are and trying to be more philosophical than they are. If the Wachowski brothers were [...]
Someone at Gaming Age made this. It’s funny, but sad: I know I’m being harsh. There are still a crapload of games like F-Zero and Mario Kart that will be great. But overall, things are not good.
