How do you let go of something that you were never able to hold on to?
I guess I’ll never know…
The weekend went by pretty fast as usual. I had a busy and enjoyable weekend.
Good luck to everyone with their finals.
So I just recently signed up for the Blockbuster rental service that’s similar to Netflix. I have a free one month trial period. I figured I can stock up on films to watch during that winter break, figuring how bored I’ll be. My first priority during work though is to finish up on the prep and research for job hunting during the spring semester.
So far the movies I have on the queue are:
- Batman Begins
- Sin City
- X-Men: X-2
I also have queued up Firefly the series. This will also be a great opportunity to catch up on the 80s cartoon shows that I use to miss, because my parents wouldn’t let me wake up extremely early to watch cartoons like: Transformers and Thundercats. Any other suggestions for movies or series? I only watched part of season’s one Lost and most of season two. I’m not sure if I want to watch every single episode.
I guess I also have Soul Caliber 3 for the PS2 to play during break, even though its been sitting on my desk now for a week as I don’t have a PS2 here on campus.
I shouldn’t even start thinking about my plans for break yet, the semester isn’t over yet. I have like 3 projects due around next Monday. I also ordered the accelorometer chip for my senior design project for my team, I actually can’t wait to get it and the team starts to work on it. I’m tired at researching all this stuff and want to start on the implementation.
A chart of the caffeine contents found in various stuff:
I’m going to need a lot of this in the upcoming week. Too bad the effects of caffeine consumption aren’t instant, takes awhile to sink in.
On a side note, Mozilla released Firefox 1.5 a few days ago. Download it now. I’ve also switched from using Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird as my default e-mail client of choice.
I found this psych article interesting. Now I know I’m not that wierd. I always have a habit of waking up 5-10 mins before my alarm clock goes off. Usually I hate this, since when I wake up it’s hard for me to go back to sleep, only if it’s for a few more minutes. I guess I won’t be escaping stress soon.
Ever wake up five minutes before your alarm rings? This mysterious phenomenon isn’t just bizarre coincidence. We are all equipped with our own internal alarm clocks and, best of all, they even have snooze buttons.
Jan Born and fellow researchers at the University of Lubeck in Germany have discovered what may be the first biological evidence for the curious ability to wake up at will. Anticipating the time you want to rise seems to trigger the release of hormones normally secreted by the body in times of stress. About an hour before you’ve planned to get out of bed, these secretions increase in preparation for the “stress” of waking.
Other strange sleeping habits of mine is that I never learned to use the “Snooze” function and I have problems taking naps during the day.
When I have time I plan to add more stuff to the navigational menu like RSS feeds, seperate categories for some links, etc…
I also want to add a random banner rotator or just theme switch.
This of course will happen once I decide to take a break from my school work. Yeah, these things are quick to implement, but once I start working on it, I end up wasting more time being unproductive.
