I\’m back home now. I actually got back from Yosemite with my family yesterday. San Francisco was a lot of fun too. Took a lot of pictures, which I\’ll be making prints of when I get to the photo lab. Also went to Amoba Records, possibly the best record store I\’ve ever been to. I\’ll write more about my trip when I get back to school tomorrow.

This blog won\’t be updated for a week or so. After I get back from SF I\’m going to Yosemite for another few days. This is going to be so much fun.

We\’re off to San Francisco tomorrow. I\’ve been playing Midtown Madness 2 a lot. See, I figure, if I hit the crest of every hill doing around 70, I can jump it, fly over a dozen or so cars, and land on the other side of the intersection unscathed. And that\’s using a 94 Maxima. I can\’t wait to try out my theory.

I\’m done with finals! Finally. I\’m so happy right now. Well, time to hit the bars for happy hour.

Going for a long drive and you want a book-on-tape to listen to? Download the entire audiobook (in mp3 format) of William Gibson reading his first novel Neuromancer. They\’re really low quality (24 kbps), but it\’s better than nothing. In addition, this site also has the Neuromancer graphic novel. It only covers the first third of Neuromancer though, I guess they never finished it. And if that\’s not enough, you can also download William Gibson\’s first 3 novels, as well as a collection of short stories.

Queen Elizabeth to Receive $1.4 Million Car.
Even better than the previous post, I can just imagine the queen sitting in her Bentley in the Buckingham Palace driveway making \”vroommm vroommm\” and tire screeching sounds and pretending to shift gears.

A Ferrari Showroom in Impoverished Indonesia????
My favorite quote is at the very end:

\”It\’s not only (for) driving. They might put it in their garage and enjoy it.\”

I can just imagine some rich Indonesian fat cat sitting in his Ferrari in his driveway making \”vroommm vroommm\” sounds and pretending to shift gears.

News that doesn\’t surprise me: Another school shooting.

I\’m so proud of myself, I spent of most of the day studying. Went with my roommates to the alumni house to order our caps and gowns this afternoon. Both my roommates got a size medium cap. I had to order a large. How embarassing. I have a huge freak head.

The form for the cap and gown orders has an option to order extra tassels. I wanted to order 30 and wear them all at the same time, just to give the commencement ceremony people a hard time. That\’s how fucking hardcore I am, man.
