new year, same horse hockey

Feeling better, many thanks to all you well-wishers! Now to catch up with both posting and reading. 2006, a new year. Imagine the possibilities! Flying cars, time travel, human vs. cyborg sporting events. I'll have to delve into this some more later. For now, a new profile pic. Been told by too many non-Asians & especially Asians (most recently by InfiniteDragon) that I don't look Chinese. People often guess Korean though also Japanese, White-halfsie, Puerto Rican(??), etc. Koreans really love assuming I'm Korean.
The 2nd order of business is taking care o' this meme tagged to me by the lover-ly frog princess. Here goes:

^{Four jobs I've had in my past:}

• Computer network admin: career path


• Movingman: once for a lady whose house was full of Nazi shit


• Temperature-sensitive-stamp plant worker: sprayed liquid Nitrogen on each other as pranks. Whoo!


• Festival security watchman: tried reporting a fat jerk I didn't like to no avail

Four things I want to do before 2006 is over:

• Continue career work: want ain't quite the right word


• Perform live: the band needs work


• See the whale sharks


• Visit my sister again

Four things I say a lot:

• Holy poop!: heh heh. poop.


• ¡Tienes huevo!: you got balls


• "You son of a bitch. How are you?!": long story


• "Gotta avoid that shaft": can you guess which show it was from?

Four things I don't trust:

• rich people: they're up to something


• poor people: they want something


• the government: bend over and take it


• the average joe asshole: ditto

Four things I do trust:

• my family


• closest friends


• myself


• music

Four people from history I'd like to meet:

• Nikola Tesla: I'd like to ask about his death-ray amongst other things


• Abe Lincoln: seems an interesting fellow


• Charles Schulz: just to thank him for impacting my life


• Bruce Lee: gotta learn that one inch punch!

Four best movies of 2005:
well, I saw these in 2005 anyway. Didn't watch many movies last year

• Batman Begins


• Kung Fu Hustle


• Born to Fight: (purely for the stunts)


• House of Flying Daggers

Four best books I read in 2005: (uh oh)

• Paris 1919 by Margaret Macmillan (not done)


• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams


• Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky: good enough to count for 2! Plus anything else I read (not much) is not worth listing

Four people tagged: (who probably will ignore this)

• Monkey King


• Thulsa Doom


• Sara


• Violet

This was long and probably useless to any of you who stuck it out, but I salute you! With a real "Bronx cheer".
