Ah, my last week of college. It\’s all ending so fast. Today I had a Spanish essay due, tomorrow I have a test, and Wednesday\’s the final. Wednesday afternoon I need to pack up everything and move home. And early Thursday morning I\’m going to Toronto and Niagara Falls with my family. I\’m a busy dude.

This rechargable, cordless lamp is so cool. It\’s a little sphere that you charge up, then unplug and take it anywhere. It\’s probably useless, but it\’s just cool to have. Christ, it\’s $70 though.

The VarioPac CD cases are neat too, though you have to buy 50 at a time.

My roommate\’s cooking fish right now with the doors and windows closed. My apartment smells like Chinatown.

This is just wrong: The Ultimate Gay & Lesbian Cars. Unsurprisingly, lots of trucks and SUVs are lesbian cars, although the gay car choices seem a little random.

Hmmm…my boss went home before me again. He didn\’t even say \”bye\” this time. I\’m hurt.

The Sharp Mebius PC-MT1 laptop looks so cool. It\’s only 3/4 of an inch thick and weighs 2.9 pounds. Hard to believe there\’s a Pentium III 500 in there.

German Church Hosts Cage Concert

A performance of an organ piece by American composer John Cage that is meant to last 639 years began in an eastern German church with 16 months of silence.

It\’s weird when you realize that people who hear the beginning will ever hear the ending, and the people who do hear the ending never heard the beginning. Well, unless they release a compressed version on CD or something. Only John Cage would write something like this. He\’s the guy who wrote the infamous 4\’33\”, which consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of complete silence.

Damn, summer ended fast. All of a sudden it\’s cloudy and cold, and this morning it was even drizzling. I miss summer already.

Uh oh. My old UCI email address, evanl@uci.edu, was cancelled without warning. I thought I might be able to use it for another month or so, but I guess not. So, from now on email me at evan@evanlim.org

A drug-dealer armed with a rocket launcher was shot dead by French police after he challenged them to a duel at the end of an all-night gunfight.

That guy\’s my hero.
