Hmm. So I figured I'd bum around today and thought I deserved a day off from class so now I'm home doing nothing. Probably not the best idea I guess. Ah well.

Anyone wanna go snowboarding tomorrow (Saturday)? Conditions are supposed to be pretty good. Gimme a call.

Haha. So I guess it can't get much better than this, huh. Tons of fun.

It's hailing.

Before I forget, happy birthday to Mr. Jero Sabangan.

For some reason, I have a craving for donuts. There should be a donut delivery place around here. Actually, there should be an "every food" delivery place around here. That would be cool.

So due to the storm weather, I decided not to head up to Tahoe and instead of a full day of boarding, I get a full day of boredom at home. Ah well. This should be interesting.

A couple of thoughts:



As many of you know, I continue to take my damn Electric Circuits class. Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know it's my second and a half time taking it so it's not quite something to be proud of but after seriously hoping to get a 30 out of 150 on the midterm, I was pretty damned happy for a 68.7%. I don't think I've ever been happier for that kind of percentage. I would've totally been happy with the 20% I was striving for. And not only that, the class average was a 54/150 with a median at 45/150, so I beat out a class of Electrical Engineers at their own game. So now I'm getting cocky and complacent and don't wanna go anymore. Hahaha. Go figure. But seriously, after seeing that grade, I just wanted to yell out and tell that bitch of a professor, "Look you assface! I know half of the material so do I really have to take the rest of the class?" But that didn't happen.



In other weird news, I forgot to mention this but the other weekend, my brother and I went with my mom, three of my aunts, and my cousin from New Jersey to an Indian Casino near Sacramento. I thought this was really, really weird, and I don't know if it's because of age, or the atmosphere, or whatever, but we were sitting at some slot machines (I never really played slots before but my aunts lured me in) when my mom offers me a cigarette. I didn't take one but my bro and I just looked at each other with the same wtf-look - "Did she just offer you a cigarette?"



Speaking of my bro, we went snowboarding last Thursday. Really good conditions and an awesome way to introduce our new boards to snow. If you're expecting the name of my board (as some people have chosen to do), I have yet to give it one. Well actually, I had come up with one but apparently it's unacceptable. My bro thought Tim would work for his (his board is made by Burton). My board (it's a Palmer Classic) really reminds me of Thundercats and Lion-O's sword but I thought Lion-O wouldn't be a very cool name. Likewise for Panthro, Cheetara and other assorted Thundercats names. Hahaha. So I was gonna start calling it the "Board of Omens". Hahaha. You know? Like the Sword of Omens? Haha. But I guess it's a weird name. Ah well.



That's all folks.

For those of you without work/school or would like an excuse to skip either of those, I plan to go boarding this coming Thursday, February 19. Hopefully conditions will be good. If conditions deteriorate for Thursday, I plan to go sometime this weekend. If you're interested in a day trip, let me know.

Big happy birthday to our 16th President of the United States - Honest Abe Lincoln. It's been a while since we last saw you, but you've been a great friend and I'm really looking forward to getting your ass drunk and slurring like a mother f****r. Can't wait to hear that Gettysburg Address.



Also, happy birthday to Jeff. The same applies to you.

By the way, friends of mine who have been subjected to the wonderful and soothing noises I tend to make when sleeping - The doctors have determined that my sleeping pattern is Minimally Abnormal (that's what it said on my report). Hahaha. So there you have it.



To further explain: they were trying to determine whether or not I have sleep apnea. I may be using the wrong terms and stuff, but your oxygen saturation level is typically between 90-100%. This includes when you're sleeping. If you have sleep apnea, you stop breathing for a couple seconds while sleeping and your oxygen level is supposed to drop.



On the average, I had a saturation level of 94% (or somewhere around that) however, I did dip as low as 86% and stopped breathing for a total of 38 times over a 8.2 hour period. Hence, I am minimally abnormal.



The doctor said there would be cause for concern if I dropped to around 70% and stopped breathing around 80 times or so.



So what does that mean? He thinks it might just be some sort of nasal congestion (which I won't argue with because my nasals tend to be congested). Hopefully, his prescription will soon quell the savagery that is my snoring. And when everyone is crashing somewhere, you can all sleep as well as I do. Haha.

On our way up to Lake Tahoe back in January, we saw this sign and thought it was pretty interesting and totally random to see in Sacramento, California:







It turns out that in Ocean City, Maryland there's also a sign back to Sacramento.

Ok folks. Can you imagine rolling down the street in your phat ride with over 700 minutes of music at your disposal? Imagine no longer. I am selling my 10-Disc Sony CDX-65 CD Changer. It's not in the best shape but it definitely works. I don't know how old it is but it came with my car. It's a little banged up, but again, it works. The reason I'm getting rid of it is because I no longer have any use for it. If you, or anyone you know, is interested, let me know before I put it up on eBay.

Haha. So my sister regularly records "Saved by the Bell" with our Tivo. I've watched a couple of episodes and find them pretty damn funny. Haha. I used to watch that show all the time. Goodness gracious.



Hahaha. So anyway, today's show was called "No Hope With Dope". Some teen idol actor named Johnny Dakota chooses Bayside to be the high school setting for a commercial he's shooting against drugs. There's a round table discussion where they get all serious and thoughtful.



"I just don't get it. I don't know why people do it," says Kelly Kapowski.



Haha. I don't know why either, Kelly. But later on in the show, they find that Johnny Dakota isn't as hot as they thought he was because at a Hollywood party they all go to, he's smoking pot and asks Zack and Kelly if they want to also:



"Come on, everyone does it," he says.



"I don't," Zack shoots back.



"And neither do I," says Kelly.



Haha. And then they storm out of the place. So the next day, they're all serious and Johnny wants to shoot the commercial (the kids are acting in it) but they refuse to because they don't feel right doing it because of Johnny's lies. Hahaha. How noble of them.



So yeah. That was funny.



Also, my sister recorded "Saved by the Bell: The College Years". Hahahaha. Did you know A.C. Slater's last name isn't really Slater? Apparently, his dad changed their name to Slater because if he kept Sanchez, he felt he wouldn't have been accepted. Hahaha. And then Slater goes and gets all cultural and fights for his heritage. Hahaha. You crazy, Slater.

Janet Jackson's Super Bowl flash grabs TiVo users

"Users of TiVo, the digital video recorder system that lets viewers pause and 'rewind' live TV broadcasts, apparently couldn't get enough of pop diva Janet Jackson's 'wardrobe malfunction' during the Super Bowl halftime show Sunday. TiVo reports that the controversial baring of one of Jackson's breasts was replayed a record number of times by TiVo users."



Hahaha. We just wanted to try to figure out if it was intentional or not... in slo-mo.
