I registered for class yesterday for the Fall quarter and I ended up with two Chinese classes, Chinese Cinema, which I hope is just a bunch of cool Jet Li movies, and a Chinese ethnic studies class. Well, the ethnic studies is actually an Asian American one, but whatever. I'm not sure why, but I was very apprehensive about taking 2 Asian classes, in addition to the one I'm already taking this quarter. I've never been one to embrace my Asianess and by taking these 2, I somehow feel that I'm becoming something I've feared becoming for some odd reason. Its not like I'm super afraid of being Asian or ashamed because I'm not, but rather, I somehow feel that I'm becoming less American. I know, it sounds stupid, but thats how it is.

In other news, I'm back home for Memorial Day weekend and I figured job hunting is in order, so I've got a few applications ready to turn in. I sort of regret buying a GameCube now. Not that I don't play it a lot and I do want to keep it, but I also want an XBox now. Damn Microsoft for making cool games like Knights of the Old Republic XBox only. But luckily, in going to that link, I noticed that the game is also coming out on PC, so screw that, maybe I don't really want an XBox because a game like that should be on PC anyways. As far as summer gaming goes, last summer I wasted it playing a Dungeons & Dragons game, Baldur's Gate 2 and I'll likely be doing the same this summer. Neverwinter Nights is coming out and it looks like I'll be wasting countless hours doing that. I know, some people will be asking, "Hey, what about Warcraft 3? Thats the game that everyone will be playing." If Blizzard's name is attached, it turns to gold right? Well, I'm not that into it after playing the beta. Sure, I've played it a lot, but when Neverwinter Nights comes out, Warcraft 3 can sit on the back burner while I whip out my dice rolling action (metaphorically speaking of course since the die rolls are all computerized).

Things I Like #13: Free refills.

Eminem - Without Me

A few posts earlier I said that Spider Man was a kick ass movie. And using a similar chart, Star Wars: Episode II was like 10 times as good. No, make that 100 times as good. Certainly it benefits you to see it at 12:01AM with other rabid fans, but this is certainly a must-see movie if you know anything about Star Wars. I don't know what else to say, but SEE THIS MOVIE!

Star Wars: Episode II tonight! w00t! Yoda with a lightsaber? Natalie Portman? Does it get any better? I think not!

Things I Like #12: Star Wars.

John Williams - Duel of the Fates

Nobody reads this really, I know, but its okay because at this point, even after only a year of having a journal thing, I'm pretty glad I kept it because when I'm really bored, I can read it and feel happy for myself, or sad, whichever. And I guess thats the whole idea of keeping the journal, to remember times past, good and bad.

I was reading someone else's journal before this and I really wished I were better with words. Its not something I really feel I want or need to work at, although it'd be nice, just one of those "I want a pony..." or when you're in a supermarket and you see the candy in the aisle and you suddenly want it type thing. I merely wish that I could have a better command of the English language and put together fancy sentences like: "interesting.. it a muddle of thoughts and lost within my realm. but it's ok .. cuz it's my realm.. an area of familiarity." I don't know if the person wrote that or if its some song lyric, but its pretty... I guess I'd call it well-written. Or maybe I just need a better command of my own feelings. Probably both.

Speaking of commanding my own feelings, I really wish I could remember everything I think. I'm going to try to get a notebook of some sort. I seem to remember having several good insights about random things that I cannot remember now. Perhaps with this notebook in hand, I'll be able to write posts with some substance.

Things I Like: #11 The smell of new shoes. That leather blended with shoe cleaner scent gets to me. I don't know what new women's shoes smell like, but new Nike's? Mmmmm Hmmmm!

Coldplay - Spies

Which Royalty Are You? Find out! By Nishi.


You identify strongly with fantasy and royalty and are a deep and intelligent person. Idealistic and romantic, you tend to live in your own world, apart from the harsh realities of life & strive for the ideals and values that the once great royal hierarchy established.

How much of a freak are you?

If you haven't seen Spider-Man then you've been deprived. This movie doesn't disappoint at all! I don't know what else I can say, its a great movie. Boobilicious too! Kirsten Dunst is quite cute in the movie, and a very hot red head at that. Its also a good movie because it beat down that lousy, waste of my time, Harry Potter in the box office records too.

So this weekend I did no homework again, or very little, just a bit of the 150 pages of reading I should've been doing. Oh well, I still have tomorrow. Procrastinating till the last moment, thats me! (And most college students.) I don't really have much else to say. Maybe I'll think of something for tomorrow if something interesting happens to me. I've got to do my laundry tomorrow so I'll be spending some time alone... Okay, well not "alone" but not with anybody else in my company and whenever that happens to me (the being alone thing) I always think up weird shit. So maybe I'll think up some weird shit.

Oh, and I just saw this in someone's profile. Women, take a hint.

Things I Like: #10 Waking up early. And when I say this I mean waking up thinking its time to wake up and looking at the clock and seeing that I still have 2 more hours to sleep. That sort of "epiphany" is really cool. Haven't had one in a while.

LeeAnn Womack - I Hope You Dance

Well, its really late and my sleep schedule will need some readjusting, but its been pretty good lately. I've been getting a consistent 7-9 hours of sleep per night, except today, but I'll fix it tomorrow anyways. At any rate, I thought I'd write about a dream I had last night. I dreamt I went to New York City and I went to Rockefeller Center and went into some small shop. The shop was sort of dark and I purchased a post card there. There were some other details, but like most dreams, I've lost them to the depths of my brain. So this just tells me that I must go back to New York City. I know, I don't really follow other dreams, hell, I don't even remember them, but this one was actually pleasant. And strangely enough, when I woke up around 9:30 and went back to sleep, the dream continued itself! Lucky me! Too bad there wasn't a hot girl involved, but I'll live. Maybe I've got more to write later.

Things I Like: #9 Dressing up fancy-like, tuxedo-ish and running around in loafers. I like that clicky sound.
