So I was playing with the actor editor on "The Movies" game for kicks... The utility is easy to use but it's hard to specify exactly what you want. I was experimenting with all the different face shapes and proportions and ended up with something I thought was decently good looking.. but when I stepped back and looked at it after being bogged down with details.. I realized I had made an exact pixellated replica of Patrick Swayze... I DONT EVEN LIKE PATRICK SWAYZE WTF.

So here's what I ended up with.


Add a certain mullet...

Mere moments after singing the praises of Tylenol Cold for relieving my cold symptoms!! I realized that I was feeling distinctly... inebriated. After falling on my ass while trying to get a bottle of water and running into the doorframe, it was clear... I was fully drunk from 2 caplets (THE RECOMMENDED ADULT DOSAGE). This lasted for more than 4 hours as the deceitful pills time released inside my body, keeping me in a drunken state while i attempted to study lipid rafts and posttranslational modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum... the words swimming across the page as my treacherous mind itself swam off to more entertaining enterprises. Finally, I've essentially recovered (I can feel my hands now) and begin to study in earnest, but all my cold symptoms are back and I'm sleeeeeepy. What the heck happened here??? I think it must have been the Tylenol interacting with some other meds i was taking... otherwise it seems pretty extreme for just 2 pills to affect me so much, no matter how small I am.

*Edit* Oh and i just realized.. it felt really nice hahaha. If I didn't have to study for a midterm, I think I would really have enjoyed it... Can't wait for the midterm to be over so I can take another one bwahaha... ok this is so wrong

Caption contest

Try and top my lame caption!!

why are there always so many animals in my posts...?

i guess i just love animals... alright this is my post about the trip I didn't go on. But my mom and bros filled me in and I felt like I was there =) Despite not having eaten the delicious food and played with the lovely animals and climbed the gorgeous temples....


Kevin standing by a "ting" (a small temple with nearly the same chinese character as my name)


Just for you Gary!! Yes, that is a hugely fat penguin


Is that a walrus in your pocket or are you just happy to... ok nm =p


Did you know that baby donkeys act just like puppies?? They're so endearing when they're young =)


cute =)


my grandpa's dog is so gorgeous... anyone know where to find one like it in america? is it a breed at all...? i have no clue =(


scary kitty... he's actually hissing at the dog (above) that's just out of picture


ARGH ::SQUEEZE::::




he just looks like the typical chinese kitty you see in the wall scrolls..


and here's another set of kitties at the other grandparents house =)


he's rather frightening... this one is kevin's


this is the poor dog they attack ferociously


but when it's naptime, they all sleep in a big pile


evidently, shortly after this he ate that yoyo...




mom flying a kite in tian an men square


and this is a frightening picture of my kitty in america about to maul and eat a grasshopper

highlight of my night

this'll do, i'm too lazy to retype it

(18:22:53) TiNGsqrd: mwahaha i went to a club last nite
(18:23:06) TiNGsqrd: and as i was on the dance floor, i see the 3 largest people in the club all coming at me...
(18:23:12) This is KenHuang: lol
(18:23:20) This is KenHuang: this is gonna be good
(18:23:27) TiNGsqrd: somehow an intersection of fates brought these large lard bags in my direction at the same time...
(18:23:34) TiNGsqrd: they were each like 3 times my width...
(18:24:04) TiNGsqrd: they all reach me simultaneously, squeezing me between their girth, so i literally POPPED out of them in the opposite direction they were going
(18:24:17) This is KenHuang: uhh
(18:24:18) TiNGsqrd: like with a BACKSPIN at a high velocity
(18:24:18) This is KenHuang: wtf
(18:24:26) TiNGsqrd: i was lucky my friend caught me before i fell over
(18:24:44) TiNGsqrd: no the really wrong thing ..
(18:24:49) TiNGsqrd: i'm not exaggerating at all
(18:24:52) TiNGsqrd: this is a fully true story
(18:24:57) This is KenHuang: wtf
(18:25:45) This is KenHuang: thats quite odd
(18:26:19) TiNGsqrd: i know...
((18:26:31) TiNGsqrd: and the funny thing is, i saw it coming...
(18:26:40) TiNGsqrd: my friend was facing me and he saw my eyes get wide
(18:27:01) TiNGsqrd: i was like omg omg OMG OMG ::POP FALL OVER::
(18:27:19) This is KenHuang: hahaha
(18:28:48) TiNGsqrd: the backspin is what really got me...
(18:28:59) TiNGsqrd: it's just not right..

7.25.2005

mull over this one a little while

Dave: Eh you, more papier! ::snapsnap::

Gary: Eh! Bu neng papier!!

7.21.2005

*EDIT* ok we're up to 4 out of 31 people who face away!! WOO keep em coming


Alright, so the verdict is in, out of a total 27 people who've answered my question that ends all questions, 2 people have agreed with me that generally facing away from the showerhead is the correct form in the intricate ballet of cleanliness. This means you Gary and Jon!! And as further proof I provide you with historical evidence of said established Fact, kindly provided by Gaoi himself:


To quote the illustrious Gary: "Exhibit A. No words needed."


Alright alright, two out of twenty seven only barely qualifies as proof... but the truth is, I'm very short and if I faced the shower I would drown. Which does not explain how Wen has managed to survive this many years with her life intact... And how can you stand spending a shower staring at the wall?? Explain yourselves all! Don't think you can get off that easily!!

7.20.2005

ok this is important to me:

Do you shower facing the showerhead or away from it? Don't ask, just answer!

Aegri somnia -- Ex mero motu

[[no i've forgotten those
words stale and cold
frosted with abuse.]]
~
blue shadows on naked skin
the pre-dawn light trembling outside of time.
as if seeking for just the location of my soul,
your fingertip searches me.

the you that shimmers before me,
blooms in season like the ephemeral flower.
the scent of life in your grasp,
scattering in splendid form.

return to me, as if you were never lost.
you passed like a shadow over the face of the moon.
return here to this waiting hand,
frozen, shivering until we meet again.

when you closed your eyes as if in prayer,
the world disappeared for me into the darkness
but even so, a heartbeat again stirs
searching, for a constrained eternity

rise up to me, flowing swift from the tide of dreams
with grace, to meet and love in gentle repetition.
you, too will find a light held in wait
heart and body forgotten.

staying at gary's =) WOOO

I'm lacking all communication with the world for an indeterminate amount of time =) Why is everything going wrong with the world right now eh??

But yes, I've come to do some maintenance on a campus computer while I have the chance.

The 4th was so great!! Drunken debauchery and drunken stories that I've filed away for my future use since I was pretty much the only sober one likely to remember what I heard =) The highlight was really the beach though... I was determined to shove Aaron into the ocean but he fought me as best he could. Poor guy tho, he really never had a chance :: flexing tiny muscles ::

But yea... I never realized how terrifying it could be to know that you have no way to communicate with people... I tend towards being solitary in any case.. but to have all family in another country, no means to contact people to plan activites, no satisfactory people in your living area, and be unable to drive is really a combination of circumstances designed to cause a mental breakdown.

Just to rub salt in my own wounds, here is a picture from a visit to China several years ago. Those are my brothers in the forefront, and a cousin in front of me, waaay in the back waving.

Every passing day makes me realize how much I need my family around me... I wish to God I could be in China with them and my Grandmother. I'll try to fight off the melodrama, but six weeks is a long time...

simple pleasures =)


the view out my window yesterday morning



the view out my other window last nite


thank heaven for stephanie, she coached me on bio 102 material from 1-4am last nite and has work 9-5 today... i literally knew nothing before she taught me and would have failed my midterm hands down. now i know angels do exist (^-^)

5.19.2005

my fashion-conscious hilary duff-idolizing roommate decided that she needed pictures of my outfit today back-to-front for her class project, and in my delerious state i agreed (>_<)

bear in mind this is after pulling an all-nighter and walking through a disheartening drizzle after fully failing a midterm... 22 hours of wakefulness doesn't do much for the complexion and rain doesnt do much for the hair... ah vanity

AARON WHY CAN'T I COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG??

last one

Good lord, this test was incredibly accurate ... except for the last part












The Keys to Your Heart



You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.





I love these types of online quizzes that ask completely vague questions and come up with an incredibly true answer... I was saying these exact things to my friend as we were coming home last night.

New Blog!

Hey, I'm hungry =)

Oh and welcome to my new blog, I'll post some pics from last nite sometime.

Watching MCR's Helena on Winamp MVs... it's quite good!

I'm testing this blogger thing for my friend, so far it works pretty good and hopefully we'll see her beautiful artwork on here soon =) keep your fingers crossed!
