Soderbergh does a DVD-theater release combo

"...the persistent buzz around its release has less to do with the film's artistic merits than with the fact that it will be broadcast on the high-definition network HDNet the night of its full theatrical release, Jan. 27, and also made available on DVD just four days later."

JavaScript + CSS = Nice Picture Display

Nice piece of JavaScript and CSS to display a picture in response to a click on a thumbnail. More attractive than just popping up a window or loading the picture raw in the browser. Instead the whole page is shaded down and the image is loaded in the center of the page.

If you're in the mood for breakfast in the Aliso Viejo/Laguna Niguel area. This is definitely the place to go. There is not big sign so it is easy to miss. It's tucked away on the far end of a small strip mall that includes the independent pet supply store where I buy dog food for Bowie.

Most breakfast dishes come with a side of country potatoes, which are actually semi-mashed potatoes that are fried on one side. Mmm.. yum.

The main drawback: The place was crowded as heck. The clientele appeared to be mainly comprised of loud and inconsiderate white people.

hi stephy

Huro

Let's see if this works.

dear blogger, i think your days are numbered.

what's wrong with chopped liver?

would you please interact with my links page.

blah blah blah.. are there any signs of life out there?

maybe if i put pictures of naked women on my site, more people will come.

the sky is blue but the world is still gray.

hey. done with school for the quarter.

i think its odd, or at least somewhat amusing that i always end up taking pictures of my friend john taking pictures of me.

eeew. barfy barf is not good to get on your car. i haven't looked this morning, but i bet its all crusted over now.

ouch. this actually hurt. its a bit depressing to know that you suck at your favorite sport.

waking up on the hour every hour is odd, wouldn't you say?

i haven't written anything in this thing since the WTC incident. nothing much has really gone on except school starting, getting a raise at work, going to vegas, and thats about it.

oh man i feel like crap, plus i still have to go to work and apologize to someone for them having read that i called them a fatass. at least i'm happy.

i finally figured out how to get my wireless network card to work with windows xp. yippeee. i can look at porn on the internet while sitting on the toilet again.

i wish i could bottle that feeling you get when you've solved a perplexing problem thats been eating away at your sanity for the past few days. all is good now.

this is what happens when timmy has too much to drink. he gets sleepy.

bbq 2 days in a row. yum. happy.

its hard to believe that i was once that little. my biggest worries at the time were whether i'd freeze up on stage during a piano recital and whether i would trip and fall afterwards.

test. does this work?

do i have to get old and wrinkly and slow and annoying?

shit. i have to be at my final by 7 AM. once i'm done with my education, i don't ever fucking want to go back!

i know i've posted this before, but i think its worth re-posting.


de·vo·tion
n.
1. Ardent, often selfless affection and dedication, as to a person or principle. See synonyms at love.
2. Religious ardor or zeal; piety.

just because you want something and wish with all your might doesn't usually mean you'll get it. i think this especially applies to wishing other people behave or feel a certain way that you would like them to. most people want to stay the way they are. most people aren't interested in seeing the world through different eyes.

shit i'm back in business.....

asdf

bored to tears on saturday night. must not let that happen again.

oh geezus (that would be jesus to some of you). my home LAN is on the fritz and its going to be such a pain in the ass to trouble shoot. i haven't been inspired to write a whole lot lately. life is just kinda blah blech ick right now. i'm hurting for money. i need to move out.

i'm done with jury duty.

it was difficult to pay attention to the evidence being presented when i was fantasizing about the judge and the court reporter the whole time.

this is what i did on sunday.





now if i had pictures from sat, i would post those as well.

how bout tttZimbo instead of zzzTimbo?

oh... cleaning can be so therapeutic.

oh god there is something weird going on in the waiting room. some old guy fell down and now some crazy woman is beating her daughter.

this woman in the waiting room sounds like one of those droids from star wars.

Inappropriate Urination or Defecation: Urinating or moving one's bowels in inappropriate locations such as on plants, carpets, corners, etc.

spam. very bad.

apathy is super bad too.

oh gosh. neglect is bad.

blah. but at least i'm done for the quarter.

i didn't take this picture, but i wish i did.

my current wallpaper

crap. when you ask someone out, have something specific in mind.

i found some old pictures of me in high school with my old girlfriend. was that really me? i was actually somewhat thin and my face wasn't as chubby as it is now.

ok boy. went to tijuana on saturday. it was an interesting experience to say the least.

someone's damned cat kept me up last night. its kinda freaky how a cat can sound so human like. ick.

oh my. i haven't written for almost a week. i saw a good friend that i haven't seen in a while on saturday. he graduated with a phd, is getting married and is expecting a child. a lot of things can happen during any lapse of contact. i do believe that everyone goes through similar stages in life. i'm trying to convince myself that these stages are not milestones of accomplishments (much like distance markers in a race) but are instead more similar to traits or characteristics of a person. everyone is different and thats supposed to be a good thing.

given an asian woman, A, and a white woman, B. if the age(A) == age(B), then apparent_age(B) > apparent_age(A).

big problems make little problems go away.

i'm still working on that take home midterm.

happiness is a state of mind whereas success is a relative measurement

rel·a·tiv·i·ty
n.
1. The quality or state of being relative.
2. A state of dependence in which the existence or significance of one entity is solely dependent on that of another.

one more thing on my mind: 1) take home midterm. this piece if crap is nothing more than a glorified homework assignment. what the fuck am i learning anyways.

two things on my mind: 1) midterm 2) presentation
