I just knew THIS would happen...

[ORIGINAL POST]

Current mood:annoyed

That's right, folks... the class I initially didn't want to take, didn't need to take, then took out of obligation (saving the class from cancellation due to low enrollment), ends up being the one class that lowers my GPA.

Usually I find whining about grades extremely annoying, but goddamn.

Egogoogle: December

[ORIGINAL POST]

Current mood:bouncy

Google: Still on top via my GameFAQs Contributor Recognition page. I think I'd prefer that to my actual homepage...

Yahoo: Still on top via my old Castlevania: SotN manual transcription. I swear it's on a different site each time I see it (damn me and my lack of proper permissions!). Who still needs to read that anyway?

MSN: Still on top via my J.S. Minnow homepage. Can't complain!


I was a few days late, but with finals and my M3 Lite (which I love as much as the DS Lite itself), I both didn't have time to do it earlier and didn't want to do it earlier.

I think I'll change the titles of my future Egogoogle blog posts. Namely, split "Egogoogle" into two words and add the year after the month.

What a week...

[ORIGINAL POST]

No, this isn't a complaint - it's more about how amazing the week was (and how amazing Iwas)!


2006.11.27 (Monday)

I checked out books at the school library for a paper... for the first time... ever! And here I was photocopying pages like an idiot.

I also downloaded The God Who Wasn't There off Google Video. Good movie, greatsoundtrack.


2006.11.28 (Tuesday)

I helped set the AUN performance at my school with Chris, the former Japan Club president. I tried to hold back my Japanese because I felt that if I said something wrong, I'd offend them somehow. Luckily, they were extremely cool.

These guys are awesome. I think it's fair to say that I always loved taiko, but these took it to the next level with a modern sound... and they're twins, so watching them was especiallyexciting. The violinist made perfection even better. Seeing other non-AUN taiko performances might just be less exciting now...

I bought their CD and they autographed it, but that just made me want to get a DVD of one of their concerts! As luck would have it, it's sold out at CDJapan, and that's the only place that sells their music. (MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/aunwp )

As for non-AUN-related events... I turned in a paper that day, and I got my M3 Lite (which is worthy of its own blog post)...


2006.11.29 (Wednesday)

Roleplay in Yokota's JAPN 400A class. I'm surprised I was able to memorize it so well...


2006.11.30 (Thursday)

The DVD I needed for my JAPN 150 class ended up not working. Well actually, there just wasn't a DVD drive in the class! Luckily, the actual presentation didn't count for much; it was the paper that counted more, and Yokota said my paper was good, so I'm happy.

In ML 400, after getting DS Organize to work on my Nintendo DS Lite, Rosa showed me herPDA (which was also a phone) and I must say I'm impressed. I now know a lot more about what PDAs should have, and why that "Blackberry" PDA isn't all that hot. I then ate a lot of good food in class, making up for how I skipped lunch.

In JAPN 380, I pulled off another roleplay surprisingly well.

All I have left is the 10-page paper for ML 400...


Look for my M3 Lite review in my next Egogoogle sometime later!
