Tuesday, May 23rd, 2000

Andy emailed me yesterday about Howard Roark. He contrasted Roark to Holden Caufield - both rebels. Holden suffocated by society and becomes bitter towards it, while Roark is so self assured that he doesn’t care whether society agrees with him or not.Roarks seeks no affirmation in authority, which is something I feel I [...]

Here’s an irony that I

Sunday, May 21st, 2000

Here’s an irony that I just realized about my previous post: I wanted to say that I considered myself to have a lot of similar traits with Howard Roark, but I avoided saying that because it could be perceived as arrogant and pretentious. But Howard Roark would not have cared is he was viewed as [...]

I modified the design to

Sunday, May 21st, 2000

I modified the design to the site a bit - adding the famous picture from the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The site needed an image to soften the appearance, and this photo is doubly significant for its symbolism. Another symbolically aspect of the image is that the solitary man is visible from any place on this [...]

Remember for the Blair Witch

Saturday, May 20th, 2000

Remember for the Blair Witch Project how Artisan Entertainment published those fake web sites saying the movie was true to produce grassroots hype for the movie? Well, it looks like X-Men is doing the same thing.Mutant Watch is a seemingly very realistic site, though an intelligent reader would probably quickly realize that it is [...]

Oh goodness. I can’t sleep.

Oh goodness. I can’t sleep. Maybe I had too much coffee last night. I’ll have to take a nap this afternoon to catch up.

I just finished watching Being John Malkovich with Adele. It’s an incredibly weird movie, but I highly recommend it.

Who actually uses link banners?

Thursday, May 18th, 2000

Who actually uses link banners? I once created one, but nobody I know would use a few hundred square pixels simply to link to me, or anybody for that matter. Unless you’re a corporation providing a service, the whole idea of establishing a brand through logos on banners is somewhat absurd. This idea came [...]

I took the first part

Wednesday, May 17th, 2000

I took the first part of my IB History of the Americas exam today. I had to write two essays and a DBQ - I thought for sure that I had carpal tunnel syndrome. :-)Tomorrow I will take the second part of the exam (three more essays), after which I will be through with [...]

Poor Elisha. I bet she’s feeling ironical. She feels happy when sad things are happening.

I love cocky bastard. It was voted best personal site of the year at Webby Awards.

Wow. I haven’t blogged in

Saturday, May 13th, 2000

Wow. I haven’t blogged in over two days - I must be going through withdrawal!
The Biology test that I have been stressing out about for the past two days is finally over. The first day was pretty tough, but I think I stumbled my way through it. I took a guess as [...]

The french test was sufferable

Wednesday, May 10th, 2000

The french test was sufferable today. I’m probably done studying french for the rest of my life.

I took the What’s Your

Tuesday, May 9th, 2000

I took the What’s Your True Color? test at emode to determine what ‘color’ my personality is. It turns out that I’m brown (the first brown things that come to mind for me are poop and mud, so it’s not a very inspiring color). Anyway, here’s what emode says about brown:
BROWN is a [...]

I really should be studying

Monday, May 8th, 2000

I really should be studying Biology right now, but I’m waiting for Adele to pick me up to go to the recently renovated Park Diner. My friend Laura worked there until it burnt last summer, and it was by far the best all-night diner in town. Now, they have totally remodeled everything, but [...]

Melissa, who is an awesome

Sunday, May 7th, 2000

Melissa, who is an awesome writer, recently wrote in her email list about a visit to Harvard. She said that the students there “are so intelligent that they’re humble”. I, as a paradox aficionado, was immediately drawn to this statement. I remember reading once (and I forget where) that the mark of [...]

Friday, May 5th, 2000

Elisha did a RealAudio journal entry, and mentions me. I think I should do some RealAudio blogs - then you could experience my.existence aurally and visually for Total Sensory Overload™!
