Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop. Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech As he opens the door, she rolls over.. Pretends to sleep as he looks her over.. She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man. She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man. Ohh... Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know; she tells herself.. Oh... Memories back when she was bold and strong And waiting for the world to come along... Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... Yeah... She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way She feeds him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again Can't find a better man.

Just kinda stuck in my head, bouncing around in such a way as to cause the most annoyance.

The management at my apartment complex is being kind of an ass when it comes to resigning. By this I mean that they are making us decide awful early in the year. Normally this really wouldn't be too much trouble seeing as we would all like to live here next year, but Fei is having trouble avoiding living in his house next year. So it is kinda up in the air what we are going to do about this. I guess Fei is going to sign for the room and then either he or we will find someone to take his place next year. I just hope it works out okay and that his house doesn't dick him over if he really doesn't want to stay there and they have enough people to live there anyway.

I guess procrastinating finally paid off in my favor. I was taking my time to get my letter of acceptance sent back into motorola on the offer they sent me a few weeks ago. This was because I was still waiting to hear from the other division I applied to, and I let them know that... So anyway, a couple days ago they sent me a "revised offer" which included all the same conditions as the last one, only they extended the deadline to reply by a few weeks, and offered a really nice scholarship along with it. So I've been in a pretty good mood the last few days here as getting a whole bunch of money is always fun in my book

I finally installed flash5 again, and so this time I think that I'm actually going to go through the motions and learn some more about flash scripting. Dave tells me that it's really simple to make some really cool shit with the scripting options and since everyone loves to see cool shit I figure why not I'll see what I can do.

I have taken the next step towards techno... I ordered a set of DJ headphones off of eBay. They are going to be really nice. 40mm drivers that handle 1000mW and respond from 25KHz all the way down to 10Hz (that's really really low, the 12" subs in my car only get down to around 20-25Hz) So for now the main purpose of the headphones will be so that I can enduldge my desire to listen to songs that are stuck in my head over and over and over again as I sometimes get the urge to do without making all my roommates kill me and or themselves whichever comes first. (most likely the former, and we can't have that) And then once I get my hands on a keyboard it will be a straight shot to the end.

Well, Kevin had the idea, Hans had the boredom enough to follow through, and I had the tools and the utter contemptuous disdain for mistakes that allowed us to plan, purchase and construct a removable baskbetball hoop to be mounted in the courtyard of our apartment. All things done it came out to be 10' 2" (not bad, considering it's better than a lot of rims around campus) and it comes on and off with two people in about 5 minutes. It lets us be idiots and annoy people with much effeciency and have fun at the same time. While we were putting it up the first time we drew looks like people watching a spaceship hovering over the horizon. Some people worried of the noise, some delighted with the possibilities. I'll let you know if we get evicted in the next couple weeks haha :D
