Are you a girl looking for an apartment? What’s your price range? 500 a month? 400 a month? Does zero dollars a month sound good to you?
Wait a minute, there’s got to be a catch right? Well there is a reason why they are looking for a girl. The person seeking says, “I’m sure there’s girls out there who are students with a tight budget who wouldn’t mind getting the free rent and having some intimate fun as well…I’m not unattractive, and this could be beneficial in many ways.” So, if you don’t mind losing your dignity, then hey it’s free housing.

Here’s the link to the post. But it does leave me wondering who would be desperate enough to post something like this and who would be crazy enough to respond to this.

Thank you Nicolle Slavador for this scoop.

By the way, bigmonolith has started a very interesting discussion on beauty and what makes guys attracted to girls. I haven’t given him my take on the issue, but I think it’s interesting. Take a look at the entry here.

Featured Website-Craigslist-Want to sell something? Well you’re gonna need to put the word out. Don’t have a lot of money to put an ad? Well, this is the place. It offers free classified ads for everything except jobs. Great resource for housing and personal ads (not that I ever read those).

Not much happened this weekend, except me getting embrassed a few times. You’ve already read about the tour groups (check out this entry and that entry for more) and stupid things the frat had me do (the link). Here are some more.

Note: this is probably going to be one of those entries I add on to over and over. Post some comments or IM me things I should talk about.

Saturday (May 10)-I go down to the Den to spend some dining dollars. I decided to buy $25 dollars worth of soda and snacks and I forget my ID card leaving a line full of angry people. Anyways I run back with Eugene and then we gather up more water. I start just gathering up everything, put a water bottle in my bag, get set to go when I ask, “didn’t we get 2 bottles of water?” The lady sitting at the table says “That one’s mine.” Oops. So that wasn’t that embrassing.
Monday (May 12)– So I sit in physics lecture and I sort of stop paying attention. Professor Jacobson starts talking about sound waves traveling through a room and he goes “how do sound waves travel to the back of the room and reach that guy sleeping in the back?” I’m not 100% sure, but I think he was refering to me putting my hands in front my eyes and slouching in my chair. I was totally not asleep. I got everyone to look back and I think they were looking in my direction. So I basically get singled out in my physics class of a few hundred people looking at me “sleeping.” Did I happen to mention I had a bad hair day? A pretty bad one at that.
Saturday (May 17)-Jensen, Fred, and Sean were throwing things at each other. Soda bottles, couch cuchions, and even apple cores. And unfortunately, I was a casualty. As Fred tossed one apple core and I was on my way to the elevator, the core directly connects with my ear. Ouch that hurt.

Cool Program-My Popup Killer-The most dreaded form of advertising on the web is the popup window. They come up out of nowhere and bombard your computer screen with all sorts of annoying messages. Fortunately, you no longer need to fear them. There are a variety of popup killers on the net, many of them free. I chose this one, because it is small, runs quietly, and is very customizable.

Note: I forgot to mention Steve’s Birthday until May 19. Opps.
Thursday (May 1)-Happy Birthday to Steve (The Panda). He turned 19. Took him to dinner at Gypsy’s with Kyle and had an interesting discussion on religion and traveling. Would say more, but I don’t want to go that far in depth.
Friday (May 2)– First happy birthday to my roommate Fred. He turned 19 today. You partied mighty hard last night, as we can see from that note Sean left on the door.
X-2 finally came out that day and I was so glad I was able to see it. I went with a huge group. Our roster was even bigger than the Xmen’s roster: me, Joey, Steve, Eugene, Christina, Kori, Kyle, Callie, Vicky, Shoshana, Nicolle, Kurt, Patrick, and Chihyon. That’s 14 people. Oh wow. And to think we would have had more if those people we invited from the fifth floor had come with us, instead of going to see Identity.
As the for the movie, it was worth every penny. Best superhero movie ever. Just about close to perfect. Just make sure you watch the first one before and go with someone who knows about Xmen.
And Vicki, stop talking about Iceman.
Saturday (May 3)– was of course Free Comic Book Day, a nationwide event where publishers hand out free comic books. The turnout was quite low as nobody seemed to know it was going on unless they were a true comics geek, like me. Because of that, they gave away every free comic they had. I managed to snag all of them except for one, but I didn’t really miss it. I even got an autographed copy of Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things by creator Ted Naifeh, who was there to sign it.
Of course, my heart still lies in the standard superhero fair. So I was so excited when they were giving Ultimate X-men #1, Robocop #1, and many others for free. I was also blown away that the Superman 10 cent adventure for free (okay so I only saved a dime, I still thought it was cool). And if your interested, Batman had his own 10 cent adventure in July of 2002. Read it for free at http://www.dccomics.com/features/bwmurd/ecomic/batmurder1.html.
I took Shoshana to that store, and she probably didn’t enjoy it half as much as I did. She said she had fun, but I just seem to get carried away when I go to a comic shop and ignore everything else but the comics.
Revelation-Wow I took a girl to the holy shrine of geekdom. What’s next, a Star Trek convention?
Sunday (May 4)– was the day I was putting the finishing touches on my history paper. Too bad it took me until 5:00 AM to finish it. That sucks. Too much slacking and too much blogging.
Monday (May 5) and Tuesday (May 6) – Classes. You know the usual.
Wednesday (May 7)-I took a long trip to Oakland Zoo by myself so I could do my bio project. Man that place isn’t half as nice as the LA Zoo. I mean it is so small and all the animals don’t move and the design of the place is so makeshift. It’s just fencing. I don’t know maybe it was more the long trip by myself that made it so boring for me. Still animals are always fun to see at any age. Loved the giraffes. Get back. People ask if I’m feeling ok. I don’t know, am I?
Thursday(May 8)-The worst days of the week. Did nothing but classes and stuff.
Friday (May 9)-Tried to take a nap at 10:30 AM, when Christina knocks on the door. She tells me and Eugene that a touring family read something very interesting on our door. They read that note that Sean had written us last week about Fred getting drunk. Oy. Is it just me do we have the worst luck with these tour groups? First, they come in and see our pig sty of a room (and the Playboy, more on that here) and then they read about college drinking. Those parents must be thinking about home schooling their kid more and more.
Revelation-I knew I shouldn’t have gotten down from my bed. I mean nobody asks for me at 10:00 AM; more like 10:00 PM when they need me to help them with their homework. If that sounded angry, it’s not; I like helping people. But I don’t know, I just noticed that a bit.
The Lakers played against the Spurs today and I got to see them win Game 3 after that loss in game 1 and that rout that was game 2. If they win Game 4 on Sunday (which I think they will), they’re back in this.

Featured Website-America 24/7– Got a digital camera? Need an excuse to take a picture of that cute guy/girl or just an excuse to use it? Try this. It’s a web project trying to collect as many digital photographs in one week into a photo album. Sounds like a great project to be a part of.

Fred gets so many pranks pulled on him, it’s not even funny. Actually, scratch that. It’s really funny. In no particular order, let’s see what funny pranks people have pulled on Fred. By the way, happy belated birthday. He turned 19 on Friday, 5/2/03

1. Fred’s new desktop pattern. After seeing his Leeann Tweeden desktop wallpaper, Christina wondered if it was possible to make her a little less desirable. So she decided to use Adobe Photoshop and create this to scare the “s*** out of him”:

Let me just say it worked like a charm.
2. Switching Fred’s home page. This is the one that started it all. Sean had found a link to a gay porno site (I don’t have the link) that also has a sound saying “I’m looking at gay porno”. So he turns up Fred’s speakers really high and sets his home page to be that gay porno site. Fred opens his browser and presto. Half the floor hears it and then laughs hysterically. Not only that, but the site disables the close button, so Fred struggled to find a way to close the browser, leaving plenty of time for hilarity to sink in. This was repeated many times and to various other sites that proved just as embrassing, creating more laughs.
3. Cold Showers. This is one of the few times Fred actually pulled a prank. For a while, Sean and him were dunking cold water on each other while they were in the shower. Fred decided to take it to the next level. He then took Sean’s clothes out of the shower stall and left Sean stranded in the stall, trying to come up with a solution. Eventually he got out dripping wet with only his boxers. It was so embrassing for Sean.
4. The Mysterious Girls Underwear. Someone has been leaving love notes for Fred in front of the door declaring how much they want Fred. What’s really odd about this though is that he/she is leaving girls underwear with the notes. And we still don’t know the culprit, though this maybe a clue.
5. One Last Breath-I was crazy about Creed’s One Last Breath for a while, but that just drove Fred crazy. He hates Creed with a passion, but for some reason, I would play the song and he’d sing the parts that go “hold me now” or “for you and me, you and me.” He was singing a song he doesn’t even like! Fred claims he just does it unconsicously and sincerely hates that song. It’s so funny hearing him sing verses of it and then realize he “was f****** singing that stupid song again.” Sean even came into the room and did the same thing. It’s hilarious if you see this in person.

Funny Quote-Christina while she sits in my chair working with Photoshop and singing Creed-With Arms Wide Open, “Oh no I’m turning into Allen.”

…I cleaned my side of the room. I mean God it’s a mess.
…my Xmen poster stopped falling down. It’s fallen down like 10 times in the last week and just yesterday people were stepping all over it.
…I got other people into comic book superheroes. People have been asking an endless array of questions about the X-men mythos since the movie came out. Joey for one is reading the fan favorite JSA series, starring the original superhero team. Not only that, but people were looking through the comics I got from Free Comic Book Day. And I think I turned Chihyon into an Ultimate X-men fan. And definetly telling people about the great DC Comics graphic novels like Kingdom Come and Crisis on Infinte Earths has sparked some interest.
…Cartoon Newtork acquired Family Guy. It’s such a funny show. Catch it on Adult Swim at 11:30 PM.
…for the semester to come to end. All in all, great first year, but I may be romanticizing it a tad. However, everyone from high school has said I lived a more interesting life this past year than they’ve had. But maybe I’m just a good story teller. Well if that were the case I’d have a lot more hits now, wouldn’t I?

Funny Quote-Seungkwon: “So Shosanna was lying on my bed in a sexy pose?”
Me in a very sarcastic tone: “Was, but don’t worry; it wasn’t nearly as seductive as when Janice and Jessica were kissing.”

…was the first thing I said when I read these two Odd News articles.
San Francisco Hosts ‘Masturbate-A-Thon’-only in San Francisco could they do this. This is just the opposite of that Seinfield episode-“The Contest” (which was hilarious, and about who could go the longest without “gratifying themselves”).
White only prom returns in Georgia– I didn’t even think that was still legal. I mean this is as stupid as an all male prom.
… Jewel’s Intuition video would be like that. Watch it, particularly the last part. What’s up with that?
Here’s a conversation about it:
mnk17fx (4:59:52 PM): she sounds like britney spears now
mnk17fx (5:00:06 PM): she looks more like britney too
…
mnk17fx (5:01:11 PM): this isn’t a jewel song, there’s no guitar
buttonix (5:01:23 PM): lol
mnk17fx (5:01:38 PM): she dances too
buttonix (5:01:44 PM): lol
…
mnk17fx (5:04:38 PM): i’m not getting you that song now, it’s a bad infulence
buttonix (5:04:48 PM): lol
mnk17fx (5:05:41 PM): it’s weird it’s not jewel, she tries to be a pop icon, and she’s like way older than the other girls
…
mnk17fx (5:07:22 PM): that’s it i’ll send you a more wholesome song, how about this song about suicide…
…The iLoo-believe it or not, you can now surf the web with a toilet. My question is why the hell would you want to? Well apparently, Microsoft was just kidding me. For more, click here.
…Oregon County Seeks Klingon Interpreter– “We have to provide information in all the languages our clients speak.” True, but when do you people speak Klingon in normal conversation? Trekies? I said normal. Well apparently, this is a much better article that explains more about the need for a Klingon interpreter, as well as one for the Elvish language from Lord of The Rings. Nonetheless, it is still an odd idea.

Funny Quote-“You know Allen has explained this problem so many times, I can do it now”-Fred, after I had explained a physics problem 4 times to other people

Now this is just sad. Apparently, a personality test revealed that I was:

People are gonna be haggling me about this one for weeks.

Take the Street Fighter Test

Which Street Fighter character are my friends?
David on my floor-Blanka
Allan Poon-Ryu
Jennifer Lew-Ryu (My sister is Ryu and I’m Chun Li-that’s just sad)
David Singer-Zangief

Update: Currently Down!, so don’t bother.

I’ve got mutant fever after seeing X-2. So after looking for more and more information about Xmen, I happened to stumble onto another one of those personality test. This one is kind of lame, but I thought it could be fun to see which hero or villain you are. Check out the The Marvelometer.

My results:

Other guys:
Steve Lin-Beast
Eddie Bellfield-Havok
Ngay Ngo-Wolverine
David on my floor-Beast (“Actually, I think the two of us could be Beast”-David)
Christina Chen-Jean Grey
Joey Le-Wolverine
Allan Poon-Cyclops
David Singer-Wolverine
Nicolle Salvador-Psylocke

Let me know who you are. Post a comment or IM me.

Update: Currently Down!, so don’t bother.

Wow this shocked me. Senators actually want to increase NASA’s budget. The Houston Chronicle reports that some senators think that a $15.5 billion dollar budget increase is too little. Cool. If this is the case, the space program isn’t dead after all, which is great. I mean we owe a lot to the space program, from computers to velcro. It is important that we continue to fund it. But will we get back a sizable return? We’ll just have to wait and see.
