Here\’s a brief history of the Swing-A-Way hand-held can opener. This only interested me cause I bought a can opener a few weeks ago and it was a strange feeling, buying such a common item. All my life I\’ve never had to buy a can opener, and suddenly there I was shopping for one. Well, I guess you had to be there.

The Fender Stratocaster has been around since the 50s and the design has remained unchanged all that time. For his thesis an art student presents his redesign, which looks really different, yet still very cool.

I got the results of the Spanish placement test today. I placed into the second lowest class, which means I need to take 3 Spanish classes to fulfill the requirement. Ugh. On the other hand, Spanish classes during summer school don\’t require placement tests, so I can go directly to the one class I need to graduate. Take that UCI! I found a way around your stupid requirements!

As I was reading the 15 essential geek haircuts I kept thinking, please don\’t let my haircut be on the list. Thank god it\’s not.

So I had to take the Spanish placement test today cause I\’ve been putting off Spanish since freshman year. Oh man, I couldn\’t understand anything. I was like, what the hell is this? There was a listening comprehension part and they were speaking so fast. I really hope Spanish doesn\’t hold me back. On the bright side, I sat next to a cute girl with short hair and All Stars. I wish I had the nerve to say something witty to her, like \”?Te gusta mi pelo?\”

My computer networks class was cancelled today and I enrolled in all the classes I wanted for next quarter. I rule.

A few months ago I bought some badass black CDRs. They\’re pitch black on one side, shiny on the other. I assumed, naturally, that you\’re supposed to burn the shiny side, right? So for 2 months I thought they were all fucked up cause I couldn\’t burn them. I\’ve been trying to get rid of them, but nobody wants any. Anyway, my brother asked his loser friends and they say you burn the black side. Sure enough, when I burned the black side they work perfectly.

So now I have my bitchin\’ music on my badass black CDs. And I have 24 more blank discs I need to fill up with evil music.
