I highly recommend Memento. It\’s entertaining and unique and you won\’t be bored with it. It\’s about a guy whose wife was raped and murdered. During the attack he was hit on the head and now has short-term memory loss. So now he can\’t remember more than a few minutes ago, and he\’s trying to find the killer. And on top of that, the movie is told backwards (like that Seinfeld episode). It\’s kind of a complex story. Those of you who had trouble understanding Pulp Fiction and Go should probably skip it. Or watch it with a more intelligent friend who can explain it afterwards.

I\’m about to go for dinner and then see Memento. I\’ve heard lots of good stuff about the movie.

I was daydreaming in class when I realized that this is my last real quarter at UCI (I don\’t consider summer school an actual quarter). Just like that it\’s been 4 years. It makes me feel a little sad. No more trying to get add cards signed. No more buying books at the bookstore. No more complaining about the prices. No more hazing the freshmen. When it\’s time to register for classes in May, I won\’t be enrolling in anything. In fact, I won\’t even pick up a copy of the Schedule of Classes. I should enjoy this quarter while I can, or else next thing I know it\’ll be 9th week and I\’ll wonder what the hell I was doing.

Invisibles are screenshots from movies where the actors have been removed. I think I got fairly respectable scores, and some of my favorite movies are represented.

3D glasses look really stupid taken out of context.

Maybe I\’m just easily amused, but VirtualStapler is surprisingly fun to play with.

I have a job interview tomorrow, I think. Some guy called and I couldn\’t understand a word he said. He had an Indian accent, and on top of that he sounded really, really bored and tired and didn\’t bother to pronounce the words clearly. I didn\’t even recognize the company name until I remembered I found it on Jobtrak. He gave me an address, but it\’s totally different from the one listed on Jobtrak. Well, we\’ll see what happens tomorrow. I hope the same guy doesn\’t interview me.

Two Held for Selling Human Remains

\”Two people have been arrested in the Moldovan capital of
Chisinau on suspicion of selling human remains from a hospital as dog meat,
officials said on Tuesday.\”

I\’ve always wondered what happens to bodyparts left over from operations. Just imagine, deep within every hospital is a big dumpster filled with amputated limbs, cancers, tumors, appendixes, tonsils, everything surgeons cut out and remove. And then think about the janitor who has to handle all that stuff.

I put up a little gallery called Flour on the Stove in my photos section.
