My weekend began as I got off work, on a Saturday and rushed to see the new Fry's. I ended up buying my long awaited external HD, an Iomega 250 Gb drive USB 2.0 ($175 on sale with $50 rebate). Though I still haven't been able to actually touch it or play with it because I've been that busy. I can't believe my gadgets have taken a back seat to my business. I wanted firewire originally, but figured it would hurt my wallet. I wasn't in that much of a hurry to transfer my files. Yes the place was big, yes it was daunting, yes it had tons of stuff in it, yes it was pretty spiffy. Yet, it felt very uh overwhelming and unpersonal. With all that stuff, I was over stimulated like a kid in a candy store -_-'. But I did restrain myself. On only bought the HD, my PDA cover and a 100 pack of DVD+Rs. I was going to buy a 1Gig pen drive, but all the good ones with rebates were freaking gone. ='(

After Fry's I hurried over to Ate Judy's and had some Topper's pizza, watched Born into Brothels (great documentary), and found out I had a lot in common with her graphic designer friend. She's a graphic designer in Orange County and her Husband is a major tech junkie. It was like being in college again ^^; Think of a 30 year old guy who barely got married, loves CS, Warcraft, and builds his own computer. Like I said, just like college. We had a nice chat. Poor Ate Judy got a bit lost in all the nerdy tech, graphic and anime stuff we were joking about. We critiqued the contents of the doc as well and that was a wrap...brings me back to my Psych 129E Human Sexuality class with Paul Abramson (he's a weird guy btw). If you're s student thinking about taking his class (I believe he's the only one teaching it still, check out his stats on www.uclaprofessors.com.

I got home late and went to LA early the next morning. Our sub sup was a stickler. I like Rebecca a whole lot better. I'm glad she'll be back next week. Speaking of which my friend Janice called and said she'll be visiting on the 23rd. Hopefully it will go okay. -_-.

Last night as I finally got home from church, my mom showed me the dress she got tailored for their silver wedding anniversary. Ehhh. I could have designed a nice dress. But hopefully it will be okay after a few alterations. By 10:30pm I realized I haven't watched Crouching Tiger and I didn't want to keep it longer so I watched it last night. I wasn't really interested in the first 2 mins, but that quickly changed. This is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Granted the story line wasn't so deep, the level of emtion, the acting, and the flow of the characters were very nice. Screen play, scenery and the fighting (how can I leave that out?) was superb. Very gracefully done...especially later in the film. I didn't like the jumping on rooftops in the beginning cause it seemed too unnatural. But that changed with the fighting sequences. Great, great movie. I am going to have to buy it. Love Michelle Yeoh, Zang Ziyi was refreshing, Chow Yun Fat was impeccably dignified and Chen Chang deserved a much larger role. Oh yeah he was a hottie ^_^. That said, I'm off to bed. Still haven't played with the external T_T maybe tomorrow?
