Subject matters clash!

Teaching today and something stuck me. In fact, about 3 things strike me every day I teach, but I tend to forget them. This one I still remember because it is most recent.
Kid: Can you help us on this question?
Me: Sure! <reads it over. It is a word problem involving velocity, time it took, and [...]

Whelps

You know how people say “well….” and then people say “wellps….” Well, I just realized how much “wellps” sounds like “whelps” and instantly thought of Onyxia. If there’s a place where you fear whelps the most, or being punted into the whelp room, it’s Onyxia. Though it was pretty frightening doing UBRS the first few [...]

Sigh…

“It’s amazing. I can’t even think of a word to say about that,” Molina said after the game. “I don’t have much to say, it’s just great. I think everyone wanted to hit the last one here. I wasn’t trying at all. You guys know I don’t hit a lot of homers.”
Oh you…stop rubbing it [...]

Angels vs. Mariners and a ML Record

I went to an Angels game last week. Blizzard was having a company picnic of sorts and my friend invited me to go. Yay free food! The asian inside of me is pleased.
Not only were our Angels (because the stadium announcer always says they are mine, so they are mine…ours) playing against the Mariners (Ichiro!) [...]

Movie: Red Cliff

I’ve been wanting to see this movie and I was finally able to borrow it from the uncle of one of my students.
My advice for this movie is: suspend reality. There are some weird footages, lenthy unnecessary scenes, and stuff that doesn’t make sense. Like…..yeah that guy is going to fight against 20 other people, [...]

House of the Future

I went to Disneyland for a short while last week. I found out an excellant way to not pay for parking, especially if I’m not going to be there for long. You can park in the Downtown Disneyland lot for free for the first 3 hours! So if you only anticipate to be in Disneyland [...]

After college clean up and music

I’ve officially taken my last test in my undergraduate college career. Stats 7. A lot of formulas, and remembering concepts I will never ever ever ever ever ever use ever again. And I’ve forgotten half of it already by now.
After finals is the clean up. Papers shrewn all over my desk? Check. Books all over [...]

Dr. Horrible

You might notice that I added a video player on the top of my site a while ago. They are some of the videos I’ve posted in the past, and some songs that I really like, all in one scrollable place.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Loss of Power

Well, the power went out today, something that happens during the summer when it’s hot. I was in the middle of watching Shakespeare in Love. Gwyneth Paltrow was giving a very convincing speech.
Most of the time, the power goes out for a couple minutes, so I saw there, waiting to hear the whire of electricity [...]

Sims Home Building

My brother recently moved into his new and first home! He’s been busy fixing it up and doing everything the right way, so to celebrate, I created a replica of his home on Sims 2, because I love making homes in Sims.
The hardest part was building the modular stairs because the stairs that come with [...]
