New iteration of composite piece I'm working on.

What a day.

After waking up and reading, I went to Superfresh and took care of errands on campus. These Rutgers people aren't ever getting back to me, and I will probably have to start making more phone calls, it's been a week and I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON FOR THIS SUMMER. The rest of the afternoon I worked on the Adoremus concert video. AFterwards, I cooked spghetti for Vicky and Sophia, the two La Crescenta/Canada, CA girls that go here. Vicky and I have been good friends from literally the first week of orientation. Sophia I met by moving her stuff in her freshman year.

Anyhow, yeah, so the sauce turned out to be just as I've always envisioned my sauce to be... heavily flavored, full bodied, sweet but not too sweet, slightly salty, tangy, etc.. it was great. I really liked it. I don't think I'd ever want to go back to tomoto paste, pre-made sauces again... this was too good to be true.

And I owe it all to foodnetwork.com for the suggestion of putting equal parts fresh italian parsley and basil.

Anyhow, afterwards, we sat for a bit to digest.. then we had Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream. GREAT STUFF.

Since it was all, done, we walked out. Sophia went back home, Vicky and I went to the DMC to check on the Adoremus video, which was done dubbing to tape. I then started the DivX encoding process so more nerdy people can watch it on computers. :-) Vicky and I went for a walk and talk around campus, just like we've always done, it was a good time of catching up, debating, sharing, etc. No, we're not involved or anything, she's already taken. No feelings shared, either, so don't get any ideas.

After that, I went to J-Loo's place to hang out. Dustin asked me to fix their VCR.. after much fiddling around, I discovered that the fuse had blown, and they needed to replace it. This discovery was after I had been fiddling around with it for a while, though... phew.

I've been back now for 2 hours. I chatted on AIM with Jane Park, who's home forever now, never to return to Baw'lmer. Hooray! Ok, gonna go read then sleep. Good night, world.

Well, I finished the editing and adding titles to the Adoremus video, but maaaannnn... the rendering is going to take a LONNNNG time. I have a feeling that at the end, the harddrive is going to run out of space, as well...

Typical.

Well, I guess I might as well read in order to pass the time.

Yesterday's pot roast turned out very well. The meat was tender and juicy, the gravy just right, and the potatoes and carrots were nice and soft. Khoi and I finished it off very quickly. Well, we left some for Jimmy, who was at Yogi's playing video games.

How about that game yesterday. The Kings have been doing a fantastic job at fighting off the Lakers, even if the Lakers have Kobe and Shaq.

On to game 6.

In the meanwhile, hopefully the Nets will beat the Celtics. Sorry to all of my Wellesley readers who say nay, but my little brother is a big Nets fan, and I wouldn't want him to be heartbroken. This is the farthest that the Nets have ever gone, ok? Give them a break. The Celtics already have some past championships under their belts... and you had Bird! Be generous. :-D

I'm starting to give up on finding that job.

Well, it's time for me to wash up and go over to the DMC to work on the Adoremus video. In other news, I am going to try to kick the IM habit, once again. I was actually doing pretty well at points during the end of the semester, but in the last couple of weeks I've regressed. Hopefully people will still know about my website. Maybe I'll just leave up AIM just for the sole purpose of posting my profile up.

Ah, it's excuses like that that keep me online and addicted. There's much better things to do with my time.

Been working on the Adoremus video. Tomorrow I'll spend most of the day on it, after I get into touch with the Rutgers people about my summer plans.

As well, how will I ever get a week long temp job?

I don't know why I'm always haunted by this feeling of hollow loneliness. In the undercurrent of my consciousness, I'm always sensing it. What is this loneliness that lurks within the recesses of my heart? And what do I do with it?

After I woke up today, I went to Gilman to check out this on-campus temp job bulletin board that Khoi told me about. It actually wasn't advertising for temp jobs, so I went into the bookstore to read some stuff.

I posted Jimmy's pix on my album, so reload if you want to see them.

Wow. I really missed out on a lot of fun that day, because my mom kept wanting to go all over the place.

What else is new.

Today was a long day. I got up, went to Baja Fresh for lunch with Jimmy, Yogi, and Ajin, then Best Buy, Superfresh, and Ajin's place. From there, The Udge, J-Loo, PHanzie, CJ, and I went to Jeff Tarr the opera singer's place for a Memorial Day cookout. Those were some GOOOOD burgers and nachos... oh man. We watched the Nets game, some baseball, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the last part of Meet the Parents, and this movie called "The Others." Jeff Tarr was quite the comedian... he would scream at all these points to freak out Jung Yeon, the only present female. It was quite humorous. The movie itself was ok, thought it dragged sometimes. Nicole Kidman did a pretty decent job, as well as those cute kids... they acted pretty well.

Ok, I had 3 burgers, and a ton of nachos. Man, I really need to start exercising so that all these calories and all this protein will be put to good use.

Please be put to good use. Please.

Responsibility. Motiviation. 2 things that I've sorely been missing in my life for the past year.

Time is running out, it always feels. What do I do now? Do I walllow in self-pity?

Change and rejuvenation take commitment and determination, two things I sorely lack as a person. God, what have I been living for? Fill me with a greater calling in life to hold on to, instead of this feelings-driven emotional rollercoaster I call life.

It's time for refocusing and action.

This is one of the iterations of the composite self-portrait.

After church, I took a nap... now, I'm just doing nothing. Tonight, I hope to do something.

What a post that was. :-)
