Song of the Week: Matchbook Romance - If All Else Fails

February 9, 2004 - just another manic monday
So perhaps a Monday-Friday update schedule would work best for me. I mean, I suppose those are the days most people read anyway, since they're bored and all? I dunno. No real big news or thoughts to talk about at the moment, though I'd like to say that I've changed my opinion on polyphonic ringtones... they now get a thumbs up since I've started looking for ones to put on my phone. Oh, speaking of which, those of you who I talk to via cell phone-- ask me for my new cell number... I ended up having to change from my old one, so yeah, I'll have to give the new one to you. That's all for now.

Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.

February 10, 2004 - starry night
Dah! I've been working on my astronomy homework for literally 6 hours (not including the hour break I took to watch Real World and check up on Neopets). It's not so much that it's difficult, it just takes a long time since it's like 40 questions I have to write a paragraph each for. Although it's not due tomorrow, I want to get it done with because I know Tomorrow Ross will greatly appreciate it... and I, Present Ross, am always up for doing something for Tomorrow Ross (just as Past Ross has been known to do a few things for me). Heh, after reading that over, perhaps I ought to lay off the homework and lay on my comfortable bed until tomorrow morning. Adios for now. [Oh, and I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to my wonderful mom, as well as to the ever-popular Jessie. G'night!]

Well, at the risk of being ridiculed by the likes of Chris, I decided to post this image since I've been working on Astronomy all day. It's a shot of galaxy cluster Abell 2218... First of all, it's awesome that there are sooooo many galaxies out there, and each galaxy has soooooo many stars. Nonetheless, in this image, there are so many galaxies interacting that the gravitational forces between them all is actually bending the light that the telescope is receiving.
Pretty 'far out', eh?

February 12, 2004 - misinterpretation
So yesterday after math class, I heard the teacher telling this girl that if she's having trouble, she should ask someone to help her. A few minutes passed, and she walked over to me... I was expecting her to ask if I could help her with the next chapter of math. She said, "Hey, I'm Labaniqua (or something to that effect), what's your name?", and I was like "Ross"... and she asked, "I was wondering if you could 'zeerockz' your chapter three for me." And I said, "Wait, what did you want me to do about chapter three?" And she said "Zeerockz". I thought to myself, "Man, she must be asking if I could rock the chapter for her, like explain it hardcore. 'Zee' must be the new hip lingo, like the whole 'izzle' thing." So I answered her, "Sure, no problem." She left, and after about 10 minutes, I realized what an idiot I was. She wasn't asking me for help, she was asking if she could copy my chapter. Like, you know... Xerox? Whoops, my bad.

Heh, for lack of a better picture, I chose this one.
