About Me
University of California, San Diego.
International Studies - Political Science/East Asian Studies. Class of 2010
A little bit of this, a little of that, and a little cynical =P
Going to school can kinda do that to you. But seriously, there's nothing much to know.
A Little More About Me: Former webmaster of the now dead Anime Eclipse Productions. Former contributing member of Minitokyo back in its first year (with the same name that I have here). And a ex-waller that's somehow finding time to make walls again :)

Yikes. a million years pass by without you noticing when you're preoccupied. o__o and i haven't checked up on technoleet in quite a long while.
random spots in a book are hard to recall since going through things systematically logically helps memorization. and people were raising eyebrows the other day when we compared chem multiple choice answers. i was going: question # blah on page # blah was letter-blah-answer. reading out loud from my mental test duplicate proved to be too specific compared to the usual "that tereph-whatever question".
really? you clean when you have to study? i get messy as i study, because i lay things out everywhere as i go through stuff. xD;; and sometimes i lose my pencils and pens under the papers. but usually, just as for you, visibility of an area and its probability of being cleaned share a positive correlation, lol.
ah, lego. but i take it your epic plans never really managed to translate into epic reality? i wasn't too much of a lego person, more plastic/wooden model kits. i liked building dinosaurs, lol, and i fancied being an archaeologist when i grew up. there, one career dream that i've forgotten up until now. xD and don't green furry blobs kill your appetite during dinner? >__> not seeing the floor is pretty bad; i'm not nearly that bad though.
vegas cooler at night? well, it didn't help that it was still over 100 degrees while i was there. thank goodness for the dryness. but i didn't mind standing around to watch a spray-paint-artist spray-dab-scrape his way to a piece of pretty awesome scenic art. i haven't been to NYC for a good while now though. while i like it, what stands out prominently in my memory about NYC is the humidity. weather makes a big impression on me, lol.

Oh, I see what you mean about the art style. Yeah it seems a little to like a cartoon rather than anime to me. Regardless you personal touches to it help change that. Hope to see more from you, later.
Sorry for lateness! I'm so busy right now @~1@ And sorry for not replying the e-mail yet!
Ahaha, bishies and angel wings are not the only things in my area of interest you know. I don't think I care for angel wings though, lol. I like whatever's pretty, even though that's really subjective, haha :3 Well, even if I don't really like the character in your wallpaper, I still know it will be clean and I'll like that, haha. Or are you planning to go grungy and make yourself a new image?! It's OK, I like well-done grunge wallpapers too!
Hm... I think my WIP is in your area of interest 8P but it will never get done now. I want to submit it on my birthday, but I'm not even close to being done, and I have the hugest course load this semester. I feel exhausted!
Thanks for your tips for the CS2! I think I'll start using it in December when I'm done my finals hahah. Right now I also need to worry about getting hired.....
When I stopped watching Blech, Inoue was still pretty pathetic, but I think she's at least planning to try and save the world, lol. But I don't think that she'll doing anything big in the end, because Ichigo has to do the main character stuff and fight the boss by himself even though there are so many strong people that could help, pft.
On a slightly different and shoujo-y note, I think it'll be awkward if Ichigo goes out with Inoue, because they both have orange hair and that looks bad together lol! Rukia was cool, but then she just became a damsel-in-distress as well... but she still matches Ichigo more. But Rukia and Renji also make a good couple. *snickers*
Ah, I wanna watch Gintama and see the sister's story......
Speaking of sisters, my sister decided that we shouldn't upgrade or get a new computer until the old one really fails us, but I would definitely be interested in reading an essay regarding what to look for, lol. In fact, I've always been trying to look for that kind of essay, but I just didn't get a lot of the stuff that are out there. So if you have too much time on your hands... yeah... lol.
OK ciao for now!

We mostly take talking and eating for granted...until we cannot talk or eat. xP
and no i did not mean the table of contents. i think the exact phrase was: the order of contents, aka content order, aka the finer sequence of stuff covered in the actually informative pages of the book...i think you get me now. xD; but lol, yeah, as powerful as a photographic memory is, like everything else, there are moments when it fails. but it is pretty neat that you do the 3D mapping thing too. nobody else that i know does it.
i am neat with some stuff, not so much with others. depends on how much inconvenience it brings, i suppose. and with cleaning and stuff like that, i just need a catalyst. once i get started on one thing, you can bet i\'ll go through everything else too. mm, seems like i obey Newton\'s first law of motion. >xD and by messy, how messy do you mean? like, the textbook clothes-strewn-everywhere-mushrooms-growing-on-pizza-under-the-bed messy?
i periodically go through my images folder and trim it down. having scans that you want to wall on your hard drive irritates you but having having scans that i will not be walling on my hard drive irritates me.
lighting is one thing. but there is some some inexplicable part of why i had a better impression of the Venetian sky. :/ maybe it was the timing and the atmosphere... and i saw the Bellagio fountain at night too. vegas needs to be seen at night because that is when it comes to life. xD neon and people everywhere.

Well i've already redownloaded most of the stuff that i had. So everything is ok now i guess. ^^;
LOL!! Cooking party. Be proud that those girls invited you to join them. Most girls would think that guys could'nt handle cooking. xD So go prove them wrong! ;D
Ah home meals are always the best. I've had a lot of those good stuff while i was back at home. I had a 3 day holiday so i was at home stuffing myself with all the good food lol. xD

Aw, what will give you inspiration?? For me, it's seeing great wallies. I always WANT to do something, but I'm too lazy most of the time.
I haven't had much time to play with CS2 yet, and it will take me a while to learn how to use all the new functions lol. I'm just using (or trying to find) the functions that I used in PS 5, haha, so I'm not fully utilizing the program at all. I think I'll be looking up tutorials and stuff soon enough, hehe. I can install it on a different computer with the files that I got, right?
Hahah, vampires in Bleach. That arc was so stupid that we spent more time making fun of it than listening to the story. My sister kept making fun of how the white hair guy dispersed before he got a chance to finish his sentence, exactly like we predicted lol. And I think the manga is no good anymore either because I hate Inoue 8P
I was thinking about replacing the desktop with something that would last longer, but I'm not sure yet. I definitely think it's a better choice, but I'm not sure if my mom will just think I'm wasting money >_>. If I do end up getting a new desktop, I wonder if I can get a bigger monitor as well, tee hee. It seems widescreen is becoming the standard... Does Dell have reliable products? All I can remember is its battery failure. Or was that Toshiba? == Lol, my laptop is supposedly an "entertainment pc" but it can't even play things properly on Zoomplayer...
I start school on Wednesday. I'm afraid of heavy course loads. I know that I will be busy in September because that's the recruiting time for articling students to try and get hired. Oh my, articling is not a word and I don't know another word to replace it with...
It's so cold nowadays.

Hey there! droppin' by! 
If I'm a pirate, I will be a clean and cool pirate. 8D

*I just thought that treasure hunts are fun*

Oh, and of course, thank you very much!
*whispers* I think everything worked out. I was afraid that I was going to mess up, but the creepy music program was cool and I was OK.
Heya Justin!
I'll follow all your advices...
good luck in all your endeavors *wuh that was serious :>

The blog's interesting, so i'll check for new stuff often enough. :P
i understand you about "that feeling" after finishing a character vector. but the strength of it then, for me, cannot compare to the strength of it when i put in place the very last anchor point for the brick outlines in my WIP. @~-J@ to zoom out and see that it all works...bliss. ¦3
ah, mental picture map. i do that too by building a 3D model inside my head. even if it's years ago and i've only gone there once, as long as i have the memory of going to that place, i can visualize a good length of the path i took to get there. but just like you, i lose some of the details, e.g. street signs. xD also, i've found this handy when i have to study from a textbook. i can tell you the order of contents in a chapter page by page etc. does this work for you too? :O
haha neat-freak with the really neat (but not so necessary) mouse. >xD i'm only half-organized. once in a while, i'd get off my lazy bum and sort my scans, but in between, i just leave them in one big pile. do i make myself sound like i have a lot of scans? well, it probably is starting to be true thanks to MT.
i've been to most of the casinos...but not on foot. o__o haha, i consider malls and casinos to be on the same level -- property owned by the hotels and used to lure unwary consumers into emptying their wallets. but i think you are asking about them as ensembles. omg i loved the mall at the Venetian. *__* (not for the prices, lol.) the gondolas and the painted sky are awesome (this sky surpasses Planet Hollywood's), and where the gondola rides start, there are lots of musicians playing. but i actually wasn't all that impressed with the musical fountain outside the Bellagio... 'cause i heard all about how great it was and i guess my expectation went too high. i liked it better than the volcano though.
darn, will i be like you in 3 years? o__o

Tomorrow is my final. After I finish that and a ton of other things I have to do, I shall do teh hack.

Wow, you're pretty far in Gintama already. I'm at 70. After the "serious" arc, they're back to nonsense, and some of it is quite boring, haha. I hope the pace picks up, haha. But it's far better than Bleach fillers. I dropped it a while back. Ichigo grunts too much. But the manga art is so nice D8
Yeah, my desktop gets really slow when I run Microsoft Office 07 and graphics programs. But for web surfing, it's not that bad. Maybe I'll bring it in for upgrading before the new semester in September. No, my sister will have to carry it because I have twig arms. Would increasing the RAM from 512MB to 1GB help much? I think that's the max it can get upgraded to.
Go ahead and build your garden. The flowers that I tried to grow this year were killed by weeds.
Haha, I think knowledge in technology might be more helpful than knowledge in wild animals if you're never going to see them in the wild, haha. Maybe I should start a blog and talk about how elephants are pregnant for 2 years before giving birth O_O But then I have to learn coding or whatever it is, lol @~1@
I did not thank you for the fav, LOL. Although I'm happy if you actually like it, your critique was the most important, haha. 8D
Yes, get back to finishing that wall with a nekkid bishi!

Ack! Im so late in replying...ah well i suppose you already know why. ^^
Anyways, i think it's great that you're actually willing to learn to cook. My mum is always asking me to watch her cook and help her out in the kitchen but im always like "but do i have to?? D: "...xD
Yeah true...noodles are easy to cook. I think i can at least handle that. But the kinda meals that my mum wants me to learn are the type of dishes that goes with rice. Now that seems rather hard. =/ I actually don't mind cooking. I just hate cleaning up after all the mess from all the pots and pans used. =(
Im living a rather unhealthy life here too. Most of the food is bought from the shops and stalls, so it's kinda oily and unhealthy. But i really eat a balanced meal when im at home though. It's always great to have a nice warm home-cooked meal. =)
