Friday, November 30, 2007--
On this day:
In 2004: Ken Jennings loses.
Thursday, November 29, 2007--I'm about 75% recovered. I figured it's bad to take 3 sick days in a row, so I bought some cough drops, and I'll be fine.
On this day:
In 2006: SQUIGGOTH!!!
In 2005: Dwäyne
Wednesday, November 28, 2007--I still don't feel completely recovered, so I took another sick day.
On this day:
In 2003: I dream about Kim locking me out and refusing to talk to me. Kim reassures me.
Once, again, I decided to play a bit of Soul Nomad. *SN*
I cleared the Demon Path. The time on the clock was 70:33:02 with my main character at level 83, Cuthbeart at level 95, and everyone else in their 70s. I may have been too powerful. Hehe.
Now to raise my guys from level 1 (to avoid "blank levels") and powerlevel!*SN*
Tuesday, November 27, 2007--Even though I'm back from Thanksgiving break, I decided to take a sick day to help recover from this flu.
On this day:
In 2006: My first snow in Washington.
Later in the afternoon, I felt a bit better, so I decided to play some Soul Nomad. *SN*
Previously, I was having trouble with the second-to-last boss of the Demon Path, but I just powerlevelled my guys to level 70-80, loaded them up with decors, and just breezed through the battle. Hehe, oops!*SN*
Monday, November 26, 2007--I'm still sick, but I'm feeling well enough to fly back to Redmond.
On this day:
In 2003: Tracy gives me her SN on one of my CS61a notes.
In 2002: "If you had to be assassinated, who would you want to be assassinated by and why?"
Sunday, November 25, 2007--
Happy Birthday Orgasmine!
On this day:
In 2005: I do the (second most) stupidest, craziet, most impulsive thing I've ever done... I sneak off in the middle of the night so I can go Black Friday shopping with Princess. (This was surpassed on
December 1, 2007.)
In 2003: "You should go home tomorrow so I can see you today."
In 2002:
- "You suck hot dogs!" "I don't suck hot dogs. I bite them."
- "Oh, I really enjoyed it. I had the time of my life! It re-affirms my sight-reading skills." Ihui is very sarcastic.
Saturday, November 24, 2007--I suddenly fell ill today with what probably was the flu. It's funny. I was supposed to take Little Vivian to the movie today, but I fell ill, so even if she could go, I wouldn't have been able to take her. It's almost as though god decreed
"Thou shalt not date Little Vivian!" and struck me down with this terrible illness.
On this day:
In 2005: I solve my first Sudoku puzzle ever.
Friday, November 23, 2007--
Dark Black Friday
I went with Princess to dinner at a Thai restaurant. It was good seeing her again. Unfortunately, the chicken in the chicken curry we ordered was dry. It was submersed in curry, and
it was dry! How the hell do you pull that off?
I took pictures. Pictures are on
Facebook.
Thursday, November 22, 2007--
Happy Thanksgiving!!
On this day:
In 2006: For some reason, I get a Zune.
In 2003: Big Game 2003
In 2002: Nadia plays Justin's perverted calculator game "to see who we put in it".
Today was the Thanksgiving party, with Kellie and Little Vivian and Quiet Robin, but not Connie, because Connie couldn't make it.
I took pictures. Pictures are on
Facebook.
Also, I tried to bake a Chocolate Marshmallow Pudding Cake, but the cake was a fail because my parents' oven is miscalibrated, so it didn't bake correctly. Epic fail.
The good news is that Little Vivian didn't freak out when I gave her flowers. The bad news is, her mom won't let me take her to the movie this Saturday. Also, Little Vivian doesn't like me. That makes me sad.
Wednesday, November 21, 2007--Today, I flew back to San Jose. Unfortunately, I underestimated the traffic today. I left for the airport a mere two hours before my flight and barely made it on the airplane. Also, apparently, I should always reserve a space at SeaTacPark.com, or else I'll have to scramble and find other parking. Lamed.
At least I made it.
Monday, November 19, 2007--
On this day:
In 2002: The name "RustWyrm" is born.

Apparently, the deck is really good. According to Andrew H, it was a really good deck with a lot of synergy. Unfortunately, I'm apparently not skilled enough to play this deck.
Thursday, November 8, 2007--Today, I had a craving for The Sims 2. So I did.
On this day:
In 2006: I dream that Quiet Robin says "I love you" to me.
Also, me and Jonathan and Michael are epic fail at going to the gym.

Wort, Boggart Auntie
Despite how I poo-poo'ed Wort in Constructed, she's actually really good in Limited, especially when I start recurring goblins. Unfortunately, she's nowhere as good as Kaervek, but she's a lot cheaper.
Also, in my third pack, I opened Cryptic Command and
foil Cryptic Command in a single pack. Insane. Clearly, I took the foil Cryptic Command. The person to my left took the regular Cryptic Command.
Monday, November 5, 2007--Today, we flew back from New York to Seattle. Since we were flying JetBlue, they had TVs, and I was able to watch Heroes. Hurray!
On this day:
In 2004: I segfault Verilog.
Sunday, November 4, 2007--Today, we wandered about New York some more.
On this day:
In 2004:
- I meet Carise.
- Severin breaks a blade over my head.
- I catch a metal splinter in my thumb. (Ouch!) Sweet little Sarah digs it out for me. (I dig Sarah.)
Saturday, November 3, 2007--Today, we wandered around New York. I'd like to tell you what in particular we saw, but my brain is frazzled. Also, we ate at a restaurant which is supposedly run by the M[censored].
Friday, November 2, 2007--Today, JKern, MichCh, and I flew to New York just for the hell of it. (Really, it was for the frequent flyer miles, but it was also to hang out and have fun.) We stayed at MichCh's cousin and her boyfiend's place.
On this day:
In 2004: The end of a dream.
