http://students.imsa.edu/~spoon is the new location of my site.

2003-08-09T18:55:00.000-05:00

<cackles evilly>
Once I get my new site up (note: I haven't started yet ), I'll be no longer using Blogger. In my infinite ingenuity *cough* I have discovered a better way to upgrade my site, and all that stuff, of course. Blogger can be a royal pain to work with at times. [XD #

2003-08-08T23:17:00.000-05:00

It has *not* been three days...
...since I last posted. Or, maybe it has. I don't know. But I did install BeOS on the computer I'm taking with me to school. Now it dualboots BeOS 5.0.3 Pro and Windows 4.10.1998 <proudly recites>. GAH! My hand has frozen solid! I can no longer type! I can't feel my hand! <panics> And worse, I can't reach over to close the window from where I am sitting! My world has turned upside down! What am I going to do -- just sit here and type one-handedly and hope it doesn't get any colder?

...Or I could just stand up, go over and close the window, come back, and sit down...

Meh... I swear, if I have to solve my own problems every time something like this arrives... O.o The radio seems to be playing Zombie Nation.
var zombieNation = "good song";

I would really like to redo this ~~page~~ SITE! I want it a site again! And I neeeeeed a good layout!

Within one standard Earthweek, I have moved into my dorm at imsa (7b13, to be exact). WHERE HAS SUMMER GONE?! [XD #

2003-08-05T17:59:00.000-05:00

BeOS
I'm going to install BeOS today, I think, but it will involve turning off USB and PNP stuffs in BIOS. Or so I'm told. [XD #

2003-08-03T15:45:00.000-05:00

now I'll have to check
...to see if this new, modified layout should look good in Mozilla. I'll reboot into Linux to check that later. The changes are the following: the image of power lines in the background is now 1024px wide, although 800px wide should pose no problems. Also, the 'spoon' in the top left corner is a link now. [XD #

2003-07-30T15:23:00.000-05:00

GAH!
site != mozilla friendly. NOOOOOOO! It's ugly, ugly, ugly in Mozilla! grrr. I knew I should have written this site NOT in Windows. But did I? Nooo. So now I have to rewrite it. hmph. #

2003-07-28T21:48:00.000-05:00

übercool
New layout up. I've decided to screw the site and just host my blog. It's much easier, and I don't need a bunch of sites laying about taking up space. This site was completed in about hour total, which includes getting the image, making necessary changes, writing the page from nothingness, posting, and everything. I'm now going to run DELE on all stuff I don't need that clogs my webspace. [XD #

2003-07-28T18:06:00.000-05:00

<whines>
this site looks wretched and I have no good art to base a new one around. Doom ensues. <sighs> My whole past week has consisted on very little. On 14 August I move into my dorm. School begins sometime after that, I'm sure. [XD #

2003-07-23T15:55:00.000-05:00

-_-
soo.... tired. Must work on site, I must. [XD #

2003-07-21T18:59:00.000-05:00

back, I am
I was at a family reunion over the weekend, and just got back late yesterday. After the reunion, but before coming home I was at my grandparents', and there went water skiing. Today I took apart a couple computers, intending to salvage parts and all that, but the computers weren't compatible in terms of RAM, and the computer destined to be upgraded was better in many regards to the parts of the salvagee. So no upgrading occured. Later today I reassembled the original computers completely. I intend to have them in working order very soon. [XD #

2003-07-13T20:28:00.000-05:00

yayness!
Installed Linux today, I did, and now my wonderful computer is a dual-booting two faced freak. On one hard drive it is a peaceful, stable, and powerful system looking after your every need. Move off of hdb, however, and onto c:\, and the brutal monster awakens ^_^. [XD #

2003-07-12T14:57:00.000-05:00

I lied again <hangs head>
Got a new computer, I did, and it has stolen my time all up. So any intended page revamps are having to wait until I get things settled down -- the computer I used formerly has all of my stuff on it, and isn't connected to internet or much hardware at all. Floppy diskettes are the devil, so I refuse to transfer my files that way. And my hair has been cut, by the way -- it is much shorter in back now. [XD #

2003-07-08T21:56:00.000-05:00

Done!
...and you didn't even know I was doing anything. Actually, I'm not done; I have still a fair amount left. I'm writing a new layout, again. Having forsaken forever those nasty TABLE tags, css and DIV tags now light my path. position:absolute; top:200px; left:300px; Voila - instant location. No more bricklaying with tables, now it's like painting. I just pick my content and place it wherever I choose. Soooo very much less hectic, it is. It also can look much better. [XD #

2003-07-07T22:01:00.000-05:00

and in a fit of boredom
I added format to the archives so that they don't pain my eyes as much. I'm in #rl-radio so much anymore that people ask if I ever leave >.> <.<. Ordered a new computer Saturday, should be in by midweek. Custom build, it is, I speced it myself to make sure it's how I like. So here are a couple things about it I remember:

2x80 gig hard drives

2x512 meg ram

2.4 gig processor

most recent Pentium 4 board

either a 64 or 128 meg video card, I don't remember. All-in-Wonder 9000 pro.

A decent sound card

Windows XP home

to make up for the previous list item, I'll be installing Red Hat for dual booting

other stuff

So I eargerly await it's completion. [XD #

2003-07-04T14:53:00.000-05:00

can't say I waste time (actually, you can)
I'm bored, so I'll start writing an übercool format for something or another. I'll find something to use it on when I'm done XD. I do this too often, and end up with a bunch of cool sites that have no content... [XD #

2003-07-03T21:12:00.000-05:00

Hey! <shakes fist>
Sarr Chasm pushed their hibernation termination date back a month! When'd they do that? Yes, I just noticed. In other news today, the archives are more up-to-date than they were earlier. [XD #

2003-07-03T15:18:00.000-05:00

I thought up a great subject earlier, but forgot it >.<
...So you're stuck with that one. I've a bit of work to do, as I haven't updated the archive in a while, so I'll be doing that. That last sentence was a bit redundant. I'm DJing now, but it's only dead air, and I'm acting as a filler between popular times. The radio has well died recently, due to a string of errors, misunderstandings, and capitalists. Today there is a fourth-of-july parade that I don't want to goto. It's overcast out, and whenever I try to access a webcomic hosted by cologuys (who host all of real life, megatokyo, and mac hall), my connection dies for a short while. <sighs> [XD #

2003-07-02T15:04:00.000-05:00

paranoia kicking in!
From previous experience I have learned not to comment on things quite before they occur, so I won't <grins>. My mind seems to have gone blan -- phone! <runs away> <gets back> O.o now I havta remember what I was going to say or something like that. Anyway, I was referred to a site the other day, if I can dig it up, about some people who want you to mail them your free AOL discs. Once they get a million, then intend to dump 'em outside the AOL headquarters or whatnot. See for yourself. Two more Drivers Ed sessions, and three more times driving with the instructor (who likes to blast Beach Boys songs). Which makes a total of 10 more hours <dies>. Two of which start in an hour. [XD #

2003-06-26T14:14:00.000-05:00

w00t
My blog has finally been migrated to the updated blogger service. Neigh 'bout time, too, I must be the last emigrant. Four classes of the mind-numbing drivers' ed classes left... Eight more hours of wasted life -_-. Maybe it'd be more generally appealling if they held the class in game show format. I haven't eaten yet today, and I'm not hungry. [XD #

2003-06-24T21:29:00.000-05:00

ha, IRC
I'm enjoying myself most enjoyably.

spoon: bup, I'll tell cz....
+DJ-Bup: Boo hoo!
spoon: bully
@cz: DJ-Bup, go to your room RIGHT NOW.
+DJ-Bup: Sharky likes it.
+DJ-Bup: But CZ!
Sharky: right.........
@cz: NO BUTS
spoon: he's trying to impress the girls
Sharky: what do I like exactly?
@cz: MARCH
+DJ-Bup: I was only kiddin'!
+DJ-Bup: aw, man.
@cz: heehee.
* DJ-Bup marches to his room
+DJ-Bup: razzin' frazzin'
* spoon teases bup
Sharky: lol
+DJ-Bup: LOOK!
* Sharky points and laughs
spoon: I did nothing!
+DJ-Bup: Look, cz!
+DJ-Bup: Spoon's teasing me!
spoon: am not!
+DJ-Bup: am too!
spoon: am not!
@cz: That's it!
@cz: You're both GROUNDED.
spoon> aw, cz...

XD much fun, there was. I also DJed earlier for a while. [XD #

2003-06-23T15:46:00.000-05:00

/me is back
back from Indiana, and I can assure you that I had the most delightful time <grimaces>. Not that I would have done anything more productive in that lost weekend, but there are less dull possibilities. I haven't played Civ3 in almost a week, aie! [XD #

2003-06-20T13:28:00.000-05:00

GIF liberation day!
Today Unisys' patent on LZW compression expires. I'm going to Bloomington, Indiana for a wedding and won't be back until Sunday, I think. I leave with a couple of jokes. I am not responsible for and physical or mental damage taht may result, the humor is a bit twisted (and now you're gonna read anyway just to see what I mean...):
What is orange and blue, and is at the bottom of a pool? A baby with slashed floaties.
What is blue, red, and orange, and floats on top of a pool? Floaties with a slashed baby.
What's the difference between a truckload of sand and a truckload of babies? You can't shift sand with a pitchfork.
What's the difference between a frozen chicken and a dead baby? I don't have a frozen chicken in my freezer.

I todl you so /me snickers #

2003-06-18T15:26:00.000-05:00

I'm melting
egh, humidity is about 94%, I'm sure. Went and got my instruction permit yesterday, so the roadways are no longer safe. Also, yesterday my team won a soccer match 1-0, despite not being favored to win. Yay. [XD #

2003-06-15T22:24:00.000-05:00

I lied *hangs head*
The new site is up, w00t! I'll be re-writing this blog here to match in the next several days. [XD #

2003-06-15T13:10:00.000-05:00

*sighs*
I have not been diligent in making a new website, and I doubt I will be able to have in up in time for the contest. Although now I'll have more time to make it better... Also, I saw some former classmates of mine have formed a Smashing Pumpkin-like band, and have a website which they made on Geocities. Like, with the Easy Page Builder or whatever they call it now. I'm gonna rewrite the page to have it look cleaner and to purify the source. No, they don't know - yet XD. Their current page is here. [XD #

2003-06-12T14:26:00.000-05:00

I'm still tinkering here, the archives still do not work right. And nothing has happened worth noting in the past few days.

2003-06-08T14:15:00.000-05:00

still working
I uploaded all of my archives today, so they should show up sometime soon. [XD #

2003-06-07T19:36:00.000-05:00

so, yeah
the new site is up and all that. I'm working on getting all of the archives up, but that probably won't happen for a couple days. Today I installed Red Hat Linux on my bad computer, and it is wonderful. Takes some getting used to, but all is good. The Smashing Pumpkins album I ordered the other day came in, too, and provided me with something to listen to during the hour it took to install Linux. [XD #

2003-06-06T13:25:00.000-05:00

time to switch now
I'm moving this site over to my free host. The blog there can be found here. It will be part of a complete site that I am in the process of creating, and should be all sparkly and wonderful in short order. Ah, the joys of no advertising, no storage limit, and no transfer limit XD

NOTE: I swiched the whole site over to preserve archives and all. I hope links to the old location still work.

2003-06-06T12:48:00.000-05:00

rain already will you
or at least stay overcast and gloomy all day. Either way it'll keep me indoors, although I do need to goto the library of pick up an old Red Hat version to install on my crap PC. If I don't like Red Hat I can always just download Debian (which I would prefer), but Debian's filesize would overflow my hard drive. I will have Linux on the Demon Machine! /me shakes fist [XD #

2003-06-05T14:16:00.000-05:00

FREE!
the last day of finals was yesterday, meaning I am free for the summer (until august 14). DJed for two hours total yesterday on a streamradio, then ran out of music. I today purged myself of that music and downloaded more. I also found and hooked up my mic, so I will be able to announce songs not just to the IRC channel. Nothing happened today, and nothing really happened yesterday. [XD #

2003-06-03T21:33:00.000-05:00

look at the funny long-haired person
I went to school without glasses today to see if I could piss the dean off, my hair interfering with my vision and all. Couldn't find her, of course. Tomorrow I'll try again. J'ai téléchargé beaucoup de nouvelle musique... I blame Molly for getting several Sublime songs stuck in my head. I'm thinking of recruiting a bunch of classmates to add in AIM or MSN so I can bother them over the summer or next year. [XD #

2003-06-02T20:06:00.000-05:00

generic lazy title
Exams this week, there is. Went and tutored a classmate sunday for math -- he paid me, too! I didn't expect that, but it was a pleasant plus. It was way more than he should have given me, too, but I didn't know how much he gave until too much later. A geek test has labeled me 56.21302% geek; according to the outdated list on the site, that would put me at #8 -- of the near 200000 visitors the thing has had. I even answered all of the questions truely. I've been in IRC for ages, maybe I'll dig out some interesting logs later. Here's some:

Ghaleon: I'm gonna download it. >.>
* MartinBlank smacks Ghaleon
Ghaleon: I'm out of money, dammit.
* surc|TerrenesStomach loans Ghaleon the money to go rent it
Isifer: welkom to the club
Ghaleon: If I like it, I'll buy it. If I don't...
MartinBlank: Not permitted in here, and you know it.
Ghaleon: It gets..... DELETED!
Dj-Gojira: BALEETED!

Usual randomness and nonsense. I see why I spend all day connected ^.^ rather addicting, it is. More:

* cz eats Satsuki.
cz: ARRRR UMMM NUMM NUMMMMMMM
* Satsuki gives CZ indigestion
* cz takes exlax
cz: *fart* scuze me. :P
... later ...
konst: mango why do mangos always walk naked
MrMango: Cus we got nothing to hide :)
* konst eats a naked mango
MrMango: Help! Assualt!
konst: what
konst: mangos taste good
* MrMango has the police take konst away for eating his cousin
spoon: kapow!
* konst puts a piece of mango in mr mangos mouth
Schiffi: crazy spoon
spoon: booooored
konst: eeat mango mango
Schiffi: you can't hava the mango!
MrMango: No! Im kill not eat my own! No matter how good they taste!

This goes on for quite a while. Have I better things to do in my time? Probably. I'm going to get Pepsi. *is back* I shouldn't run across the house without my glasses on. This blog is an hour in the writing, a record for me.

surc|TerrenesStomach: soon summer surrounds spring
surc|TerrenesStomach: surc suddenly speaks strangely
surc|TerrenesStomach: time ticks till they tell time to take tic-tacs
eskimospoon: meh
VamPyRO: feh
spoon: not nonsense now
surc|TerrenesStomach: many make meh
VamPyRO: damn them.
surc|TerrenesStomach: few fear feh
spoon: same sounds seems similar
surc|TerrenesStomach: four fabulous flamingos feel funky
spoon: alternating letters and like antics!
surc|TerrenesStomach: shall it succeed?
spoon: soon some shall see
surc|TerrenesStomach: Then will they win?
* Tychon grars.
surc|TerrenesStomach: What Tychon, what?
spoon: maybe time may tell

The point of that log? Recently we've been having fun with words and alliteration, rather pointless. Yesterday's conversation on the matter was much, much better; right now, as I logging even now, I can't retreive it. Soooo booored. I should go *do* something, and here I conclude. [XD #

2003-05-29T19:14:00.000-05:00

and now done
Today was my last normal day of school - next week, however, are exams, yeurg. Tomorrow I head over to my future home, IMSA, to take placement exams and all of that stuff. Yesterday I bought another calculator to replace my stolen one; this time I bought a better one. C'est un TI-83+ silver edition, which has oodles more memory and runs faster. Went to the library, got a sci-fi novel. Since they're just moving into a new building, the library still has all of its music in storage, bah. [XD #

2003-05-24T19:01:00.000-05:00

so much sci-fi and let me pretend there isn't much time...
I've been reading next to nonstop in the past several days, and getting little sleep as result. Good, all good they are. I'll list a few (I won't list authors, can't remember all). Beauty in the Night, Moon Six, Escape Route, Echoes, Marrow, The Pipes of Pan, Frost Painting, Lethe, and Winter Fire. There are six stories left in the collection thing, I'll list the good ones later. Yesterday was the sectional track meet, and as I didn't run I can't goto the state meet. So the season is over, except that the deranged sadist who coachs had us practice today, and also on Monday, despite that it is regarded as a legal holiday. No one actually runs sees justice in these two practices... although how little I accomplish complaining about it. I just discovered today that I own Disraeli Gears, a Cream album which (of course) I was previously unaware of possesing. Three days of school left, then three days of finals. I hate days in which the weather isn't unpleasant, as my parents force me outside. I'd like to stay on the Wired all day, and I would if I had the choice. [XD #

2003-05-22T17:28:00.000-05:00

Civ3
I've playing Civilization III altogether too much in the past week -- tis an addicting thing, it is. I've noticed recently that I am not speaked english properly again (you say "you just realised that?"). I'm been using past tense in many situations where I should be used present tense, resulting in confusing-to-read writing and speech. I also have been placing the object of a sentence after the subject but before the noun. Usually the tense problem occurs in writing, while the mislocated object is mainly in speech. Today was the last day of track practice; tomorrow is sectionals, and after that (as I'm not going to the state meet) it is over. We leave school early (around 1:00) to goto sectionals, and week after that I skip school for placement tests at IMSA. I have been reading too much sci-fi recently, although that isn't a bad thing. I'm thinked of subscribing to Asimov's or F&SF for a monthly dose of the stuff, rather than rereading anthologies from the library. Or maybe I will be able to garner some from the Wired. I read a really good one the other day; is Echoes, by Alan Bennett (if I remember correctly). It's about a genetically engineered girl who was designed to be a prodegy piano player. Mistakenly, she also has the ability to see other possible instances of herself (operating under the assumption that every choice or probability creates another universe). She sees other possibles selves of herself, and is driven mad by them until she learns to cope with her ability. Rather hauning in a way, but it was an excellent story. I just discovered that winamp has a feature that will play mpeg's or avi's fullscreen. [XD

2003-05-17T18:02:00.000-05:00

you have five seconds to tell me what the kenpo jushichijo was
Googling not allowed. I'm going a paper on the Yamato, Nara, and Heian periods of Japan. Tis getting tedious, it is; I've been at it all day. I also was in IRC all day until now -- the log for just one of the channels was 37 pages long when opened in Word. iTurf seems vacant -- it seems everyone has a life but me, ha. My hair keeps getting ing my eyes because I'm not wearing my glasses. I'll probably have some cold chinese food for dinner - I live off that stuff. And pepsi, of course, one needs the caffeine. I confirmed that I would be attending IMSA next year. I'll be getting a computer to take with when I leave to live there. Which reminds me -- this lump of silicon and scrap metal doesn't have enough spare hard drive space to install Civilization 3, which I did buy today. I need to get back to writing that paper. [XD #

2003-05-16T20:21:00.000-05:00

aaahg, I need sleep
I have found that on average, for every hour I'm awake I have slept for 12 minutes. Seems like alot until it's converted into five days... that's 24 hours of sleep in 120 hours. Most normal people sleep for 20 minutes for each hour, which comes to 40 hours of sleep in 120 hours. Over five days I an short 16 hours of sleep. I owe my consciousness to caffeine. I also downloaded an IRC client now, so can communicate better via Wired. It has been a looong week. [XD #

2003-05-15T18:36:00.000-05:00

^.^
The kind souls at Google have nicely fixed a bug in my experimental FTP-based blog. Once I'm positive it's foolproof I'll be moving on over there. #

2003-05-11T15:35:00.000-05:00

melee
Around eigthteen pages of reports or essays are due in the next five days. I have six done now, and am in no mood to continue. Also, I was fiddling around with hosting a new FTP-based blog, and at the same time I tested a new Blogger version, dubbed 'Dano'. Despite bugs, Dano looks wonderful and all that. It sorrowed me to return to normal blogger to post this.
hehe
It seems Spoon put at least one link to here on LepLep... eh, click the link, fuel the vicious cycle of linkage. XD

Aha! I have found from where she linked me! Mark this under coincidence: "Spoon-Blog :: LOOK! It's another blog and the blogger's name is also Spoon! >XD And Leplep is linked, too! *amazed* (I'm linked because my name is also Spoon >XD)" hehe... [XD #

2003-05-10T18:44:00.000-05:00

w00t!
Got my letter of acceptance to IMSA today. I am uber-rejoiceful. [XD #

2003-05-09T21:45:00.000-05:00

ping
I've gone ping-happy again. On request of a fellow forum poster at the Real Life Forums, I have been pinging 66.69.5.40 -t -l 1024 -f -w 1000. Currently I'm taking out my frustration at American Spoon Foods. Have relatives over currently; they're leaving me alone for the most part. Mowed the lawn today - first time of the year. I'm also purchasing Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness soon. [XD #

2003-05-07T22:05:00.000-05:00

mini
I need to burn some more onto mini. Currently I have no Alice in Chains on mini, so I must cause a fillage for that lackage. I really despise busywork which panicky teachers assign because they paranoidishly assume that they haven't taught us anything. Today was wretched for a myriad of reasons. Tomorrow is thursday -- one week before application results from IMSA are mailed. [XD #

2003-05-06T21:28:00.000-05:00

How long til the weekend?
I'm sick and tired of this week already. In fact, I'm don't think I'd mind if we zoomed right on into summer now. However, today was the best track day yet - twas warm enough to properly run; I had the most excellent long run. I reached the point at which I forgot I was running; running became involuntary, like breathing. I also had a bit of fun at Try2Hack today. Went to level three so far, then focused on homework. Lvl3 puzzled me a bit, but I'm forming a rough idea in my head as to how to do it. Levels one and two were extremely easy, however. Currently I'm checking various domains for availability. I need a domain. [XD #

2003-05-05T21:47:00.000-05:00

music
I have discovered Alice in Chains. Fortunately, I bought a nice load of minidiscs at CompUSA the other day, so I room to store my new sounds. Hostway has a web design competition for Chicagoland highschoolers. I must make an uberly-fantasnifigant site and win -- first prize is a $2500 scholarship and a paid summer internship. I found a few interesting microscopic images that I have applied to my desktop - they look very pyschedelic. Currently I'm using one of a Pentium processor, although I might use the AMD or the liquid crystal display image soon, too. I also have caffeine, video card, and peach. Strawberry, unfortunatly, wasn't available. [XD #

2003-05-02T20:47:00.000-05:00

kill
Target is still sold completely out of minidiscs. I bothered them about their absent stock a week ago. I need minidiscs. [XD #

2003-05-01T21:45:00.000-05:00

sometimes a title just doesn't work
Now especially. I have nothing in mind right now to write about, but I feel like writing. So I try to find a topic to start on, dontcha know... reminds me of 2nd grade when I'd journal about having nothing to journal about, except now I'm journaling for the heck of it and I still don't have anything to go on about. Two of my classmates were fined and punished for smoking the other day... I wasn't in to cheery a mood to start, but what happened to them wasn't pleasant. So they're both nicotine addicts, right? Without judging how they got to that state, I'll continue. During a retreat they were forbidden to go outside (where they would have smoked), so instead light up in their rooms. One of their classmates decided to rat them out, and the tale is obvious from there. They two should have had gum or a patch or whatnot; it isn't like they didn't know that they likely wouldn't be able to satisfy their cravings. There really isn't a right side in the issue. I despise grammer. It isn't right to use indefinite pronouns. Prepositions aren't good words to end sentences with. Etc. Crap. If the English language has been degraded to the point at which how I write is understandable, it's gone too far already. Bah, to be solely were information is, without the inmeasurable dataless hell and chaos interferring. Lain has it well, Chisa better; no physical at all. Oh, look. It's 9:45. I've been writing this intermittantly for a while; I've been screwing around with my FTP account and all that. hmm. [XD #

As of today (24/7/3), here is the third google result for 'spoon blog'. LepLep placed directly below at fourth. The second place died 6 february, and the first result is mussed coz it isn't written up well. *blinks* so yeah. I'd put up a robot.txt, but I have nowhere to put it due to this service. I NEED A DOMAIN! [XD #

2003-04-27T15:50:00.000-05:00

fear not, for I have returned victorious (somewhat)
Math team brought home third place from the state competition. My calculator team placed second (!) while my relay was 6th. In state. #

2003-04-24T23:12:00.000-05:00

so what happened here?
I redesigned. I've taken a liking to my current image at top there. It has Alice, Dr. Strangelove, Piro, and assorting stick figures. The backgrounf image the text currently rests on is of rather interesting origins. It started as a gif of seaweed. The palette was so small that when I reversed the colors, a wash of green gunk appeared. I then made the image more neutrally colored by turning it closer to white. I then saved as a jpeg. The link to blogger at right is in Alpha Centauri font.
ahhg, the past week
It's been busy beaucoup. Today I was at school for a grand total of fourteen hours. Tomorrow there's a track meet. Saturday I spend all day downstate for the state math team competition. Today for the calculator team we scored our highest yet - 14/20 right - with only four people (three discounted my waste of space). I have three correct ones myself, however. Previously I haven't even answered that many. I am very tired, and sleeping doesn't help . I must depart this wired, but I'd like to stay connected much longer. Tis a pity the real calls, however. [XD #

Nirvana
Not the state of existance, the band, doncha know. When I first heard them nine months ago, I thought that they weren't much good. I tried 'em again now, and I'm frankly amazed at how much they've improved since then <grins madly>
I'm thinking to revamping. I'm getting tired of this layout. Now that I have Photoshop it'll be better looking, I hope. I plan to incorporate Dom or Piro (MegaTokyo) somehow, but I also need Alice (of Wonderland) to be here in at least some form. Ohh! MegaTokyo! Chapter 4 started Friday. And Sarr Chasm, tis a pity. Sarr Chasm has temporarily paused for a regroup, so there aren't any updates til August, pity pity. Yesterday I went to RadioShack and bought a silly cable thingie to hook my mini player to my sound system. I also need to buy a decent headset. And I need to hunt for a good new computer to buy. I'd like not to have WinXP, or if I have it, also run Linux on a multi-boot environment. Only problem with that is that OpenMG jukebox, which I use to put music on my mini, won't work, so I'll need to retain this old win98 box I'm on now. [XD #

2003-04-18T17:44:00.000-05:00

irritability
Yesterday I spend nine hours after school at a track meet I didn't run it. As if that wouldn't piss me off enough, it was cold, wet, and we received threatening threats when we tried to sit down. I am not extremely pleased. Today I cleaned up 300 megs of disk space by getting rid of spyware -- not too shabby, although I hadta reboot in DOS twice and Safe Mode once to get it all. The founder of Cydoor should be dragged out into the street and shot. [XD #

2003-04-16T21:40:00.000-05:00

coldness
I have an ice pack on my shin now, as shin splints have resumed their ritual torture of me. Yesterday my class took a day off to see Romeo and Juliet at the Shakespeare theater on Navy Pier in Chicago. Twas so-so. At least no school, albiet I did have track. I'm attempting to find basic usage rules for the language of Tagalog, but to no avail. I think 'ng' is the tagalog equiv of 'of'; not sure. [XD #

back
Back from vacation, but unable to post before due to overload of work. My minidisc player is wonderful, as I knew full well it would be. I read Throught the Looking Glass yesterday - it's every bit as good as Alice in Wonderland. I think I'll name those two books my two favourite children's books... In biology today we started the bit in the nervous system section on drugs. Instructor says we'll be experimenting, ha. Discussion led to a talk about an old game called Endorfun, for which I will begin purging Kazaa momentarily. And once again I've begun listening more to acid rock. Coincidence all of these, maybe, or divine intervention? If so, I should take the hint... I am sick and tired of school already. One more quarter left, however, but it won't end soon enough. A personality disorder test today showed I am paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, antisocial, borderline, avoidant, and obsessive-compulsive. But said it then afterwards that only a professional quack can decide for sure, but it had no problems recommending I buy a list of books and all that. I feel quite true as I am, and my thoughts are much the same - I needn't have their meds to mess up my head. I'm a poet and didn't even know it - that rhymed, so I'll keep up the time. lol. Enough of that now, I've reread my post to now and what I read made precious little sense when one applies normal grammar, which I now note in retrospect you shouldn't have. [XD #

2003-03-26T20:27:00.000-06:00

je suis paresseux
j'ai besoin de faire les devoirs... j'en ai marre, however. I'm overloaded with busywork. I bought a minidisc player sunday, it should arrive soon. I've downloaded beaucoup music, which now clogs my small hard drive. It's all good music, I'm happy. Je vais a l'etate de Florida dans deux jour, vendredi. I'll be missing track practice Friday to leave for Florida, too, w00t! I've noticed I usually speak an incomprehensible gibberish. Many mistake my mode of speach as mumbling, but in reality they just don't understand it. I freely interchange french and english. I use words no one else does (who else on this planet says 'fey'?). I also have odd pronounciation means. Accent, if you will. I don't speak English without effort - usually it's just my gibberish. I talk this way to myself, now that others first hear of it they have no clue. Listening to losts of music now, I am. I need to find something to eat before I die of boredom [XD #

2003-03-21T18:54:00.000-06:00

friday at last
/me dies laughing :: foxtrot tis wonderful today! haha! I am extremely tired. Tomar track is at nine, so I get little extra sleep. Spring break is only a week away... it will be the focal point of the next week for me. [XD #

2003-03-19T20:33:00.000-06:00

war = 'we are right'... arrogant empire, yes
I loved today Non Sequitur. But at the same time I despise the concept. And here we have US troops now working their way into Iraq, TAKING OVER A SOVREIGN NATION LIKE IRAQ ITSELF WAS PUNISHED FOR IN THE GULF WAR, and no one's countering. Other than the Iraqi. It is a pity that the world has come to a state that it is dominated by a bully that topples governments for the heck of it.
Ugh, I'm doing all of the homework I missed being sick. [XD #

2003-03-18T11:44:00.000-06:00

I need something to do
like homework. So far I've already been absent two days - I'm going to be dying when that workload gets dumped on me at once. And yet I'm stuck here. I might be enjoying myself, but MSN is messed up, and my internet has been overall shitty today. My fever hasn't been as bad today as it has been before, so I hope that's a good sign. Windows Media Player has been messing up my computer, and my telnet client doesn't seem to like working either. Why is it that whenever I need things the most they don't work? #

2003-03-17T10:03:00.000-06:00

still sick
Hadta skip school today. At least I have moer time to write the papers that were supposed to be due today... I'm running scripts in tradewars - DGPi opened a new game a week or two ago; I'm not the dominant character in the game yet. I need a minion to help my corp. I also despise the newbies who buy crappy ships. Seriously, if you buy a Constellation, you should be shot. #

/me is ill. I missed track today and tomorrow because I am ill. On top of having a throbbing headache, I have two papers to write and no motivation to do so. One of my papers is for p.e. What I would like to know is WHAT PHYSICAL BENEFIT TO I GET FROM WRITING? I would be less irked if this particular essay wasn't such a pain, and didn't require as much effort. It's recommended that this paper be anywhere from 8-20 pages - that being, half a term paper in length to more than a term paper in length. I am not pleased. My other paper is considerably shorter, but I still don't feel like doing any of it. [XD #

2003-03-13T20:41:00.000-06:00

to be considered...
Signing onto blogger just now, I can swear I didn't enter my pas correctly. I pounded random nonsense on the keyboard. I'm fairly sure all that I did was re-enter amy username. But nonetheless it let me it. Maybe I subconsciencely typed the right pass, or maybe it's mussed up. owch me has a most awful headache, and I'm still sick (fever, too), arg. Only two (i think) my people questioned my communism today... I asked one if he knew what Communism was - turns out he didn't. Neither has anyone else, either... but this is the first admitted case of ignorance in this matter. <sighs> [XD #

2003-03-12T21:06:00.000-06:00

arg... tis only wednesday
Yesterday I had a track meet at West Chicago (it was an indoor meet). I ran a 400 in a sluggish 65 seconds. Meh. During a break between events I got to talking (!) with a couple of people who were running a relay with me. The topic of politics came up somehow, probably because I displayed disgust when one suggested just invading Iraq and assasinating a certain head of state there. Eventually the tide of conversation turned to the party loyaties held. They were all normal main-party minions. I kept silent as I always had in the past to avoid fierce debate. When inquisitioned I did mention my Communist ideals, to which they automatically referenced Nazi Germany. I cannot fully express my loathing for this naive understanding of international politics. Being of the gossipy type, they naturally have told everyone they've come in hearing distance of about my political standing. So today I had a flood of people questioning me. "Are you a Communist?". "Are you really a Communist?". "You're not really a Communist, right?". Etc. I knew this before, but today it became apparent that no one knows what Communism is. Which is quite disappointing - I mean, having a complete breach of understanding for such a rudimentary concept? Nearly everyone seems to not be able to distingush Communism from its complete opposite, Facism, despite that they can name in an instant the variations that seperate the Republican and Democratic parties. It is highly discouraging to see how narrow-minded society is. [XD #

Khris has made an iTurf character for me... is very correct appearance-wise, except that it lacks glasses. I added glasses and made the hair longer, but I think I killed it. My revision is what the one you see here is. I don't really feel like typing much now. I'll probably post again later. #

2003-03-07T20:32:00.000-06:00

my nemesis has struck again
This is going to be a post heavy in references to Trade Wars 2002. If you are wholly unfamilar with BBSes, prepare to be bewildered. Right. So an age ago I started playing Trade Wars on DOB BBS. I quickly became an enemy of one by the name of Greywolffe, on account of a rather atrocious attack he made on me after luring me into a false sense of security. Embittered by warfare ever since, the universe has a multitude of signs of our conflict, be they inter-corporational or individual. So grey goes away for a while, and his account is deleted for inactivity. I bask in the pleasure of knowing that I outlasted him, and the universe is at peace. Then he comes back, joins a corporation that my corp is allied to (in a fasion). Apparently now he is using his corp's funds to wage war against my own corp - one does not go about invaded heavily shielded planets in a corp bubble for no reason. As I played not 15 minutes ago, I renewed our bloodbath once more. I hunted down one of his corp ships using a limpet mine (careless fool, he was). Destroyed the IC they had, and left figs for them - the sector I attacked was at the mouth of a rouge merc bubble that grey's corp was attempting to conquer. I hope I have inconvenienced him.
i will not turn you into a frog...
...because I am not Harry Potter. I will not tatoo a lightning nolt on my forehead, because I do not wish to be Harry Potter. In fact, if I never heard Harry's name again I would feel no loss. arg. I am extremely tired, as usual. Tomar I have to arise in time to torture myself again at 8:30. I wish that on saturdays I COULD ACTUALLY SLEEP! But no - I have to run. And run. And run. And be around people I hate, and wake early, etc. On a saturday. On what should be one of my two days out of seven that I shouldn't have to run, or wake early, or deal with people I hate. I need sleep. [XD #

I am completely and utterly exhausted. I also have to take the garbage out, wash the table, and finish my homework. Today I found that in short time I have a [limitless] page report (think kowai) due for gym, and the instructor has given objectives for the paper soo* vague that I have no idea what he wants done (honestly, coaches should not be allowed to teach). Today was a dress down day, but I didn't wear all black today, seeing as my only black sweatshirt has a school logo on it, and tomorrow is a 'spirit + pride' day, which allows me to dress down provided my shirt has a school logo on it. I'll be in black tomorrow. To spite Khris I'll also post that I'm wearing all black tomar on iTurf, just to see what she says.
[later] I'm now done with homework... wai~ for me. je n'ai pas something productive to do other than what I don't want to do. I think I'll just sit here and blog, which is what I am doing... *awakage* j'ai besoin de dormir maintenant >.< [XD #

* 'soo' is the natural extension of 'so' in the manner that 'too' extends 'to'. You might say, 'I need caffeine so I'll drink a Pepsi' or 'This clamp is hurting my head so I'll take it off'. To extend that, you'd say 'I soo need caffeine so I am getting a Pepsi' or 'the requirements are soo vague'. I have elucidated that soo well that it makes sense? Note that 'soo' is pronounced the same as 'so', in just the manner that 'too' is pronounced the same and 'to'.

2003-03-05T21:58:00.000-06:00

rar! aku chuck-san!
School today was a delayed start, rather than a full-blown snow day. No one was pleased, so it can be said that today's school was entirely devoid of merit. The periods were 26 minutes long, too, so nothing got done. It was just a waste of time - we know lack 5 hours of our lives that could have been spent in a enjoyable manner! <shakes fist> And track was fun (to be honest, I do think it *was* the best day as of yet). Ran through knee-deep snow for a warm-up (what part of sub-freezing temperatures gives them right to call it a 'warm-up'?). Once again we were bombarded with busy work homework, and once again I did the math homeowrk that is due sometime in the future (I've given up caring when it's due - I'll already have it done well over by then). Eh, it's 10 - I need sleep. Not that I'll likely get any, that is [XD #

Bunchs of snow is expected overnight, and I know the principle (who decides about snow days) doesn't want to work tomorrow as much as I. There was a nice long blog typed out here, but it was lost when a function malfunctioned, etc. My gym coach is completely computer illiterate. It's rather entertaining to hear him talk about computers, however, since he doesn't know diddysquat about them. In lab looking up junk for such and such, and he's attempting to help people... "oh, no, you can't do that. You have to type the yoo-are-ell in the address locator window so that the internet explorer will latch onto the proper database stream." <grins madly> I really like it when teachers attempt to make themselves look smart be using words they don't know the meaning of or stating incorrect facts... So very amusing. My social studies instructor (I take that back - the football coach I have who has his pupils read a social studies book) once told the class that "the government has broken Microsoft into several small companies". When I questioned him on the matter, he said that he also though Microsoft Word had been made it's own company.... I have three teachers who do this blantantly, and I suspect the rest are a bit more subtle. I've noticed recently that I speak usually an incomprehensible mixture of english, french, and japanese. See title. social blogging: Khris believes the phrase 'weapons of mass destruction' should be banned - I say I must agree. Although I'd also ban the words 'nuke', 'Iraq', 'Osama', 'terrorism', and 'Saddam', as well. Esty has been reported to have suicidal thoughts, which comes shortly after admitting homosexuality. Omar still hasn't updated, shame on him. [XD #

2003-03-03T21:11:00.000-06:00

so near, so far
Source Tags & Codes came in today. Trail of Dead outdid themselves with this album, tis tres good. Went out running in the snow today for track, which wasn't fun in the least, seeing as, well, we were running in the snow. The wind chill was lower than normal as well. There is almost no chance of a snow day tomorrow, although tomorrow night there is 4-8 inches in the forecast... <crosses fingers> coz I really need a break from school. Spring break is 19 school days away - an eternity. I need more music so I can burn another disc - twould be my 27th burnt one. I'll need to by more blank discs and more cases soon, seeing as I'm nearing out. [XD #

2003-03-02T19:49:00.000-06:00

driving that train / high on cocaine
last production of les miserables was today, and was good, etc. On saturday I missed time trials for track because I had to take the SAT. Now I must rant. <rant> the SAT is for prospective college students! I AM A FRESHMEN! Not only that, but I was bored with it, thought it extremely easy, etc. By no right should I subject myself to three hours of incoherent analogies and basic math in the place of some student seeking admission to university. Khris believes complaining about the SAT is the sign of a genious. I beg to differ. It reminded me of the high school entrance exam I took last year. Basic topics, simple questions, etc. All you need in rudimentary knowledge of the english language, algebra, and the most simplest forms of geometry. </rant> [XD #

New and Improved!
I have added a Blogsurfing section under the Blogrolling section, below. These are a collection of blogs I read. More when I find them. Also, hint hint, the '[XD' and '#' symbols that grace my posts are designed to be mouseovered. [XD #

2003-02-28T14:43:00.000-06:00

now I must wait
I sent my [completed] application for IMSA in today, and tomorrow I take the SAT. I'm not sure when I'll get results back for admission, but they had better accept me <shakes fist> With luck I may not get my hair cut this weekend - I just need to find sufficient excuses, etc. Downloading a lain .avi file for no reason - I think I'll make sense and search for a mpeg now. There are none, haha! These idiots only have anime files WHICH ARE AUDIOVISUAL in audio-only formats! On top of that, they have poor bandwith! What I am going to do is hunt down everyone in the world with a dial-up modem and smush the modem with a hammer or whatnot. Then tell them that they need cable or DSL or I'll come back and smush their heads as well. That was I can get files in decent time *and* practically eliminate AOL! I should get a Nobel prize for this idea. #

doot-doot-doowoou...
listening to Avon by Queens of the Stone Age. I also just bought a copy of Source Codes and Tags (by ...Trail of Dead) off amazon. While talking of Trail of Dead, they appear at Metro in Chicago on April 24. I intend to attend. Tomorrow is a normal day - nothing but school + track. On Thursday I get to miss school until 6th period for a production of les miserables that I work as roadie in. I am working on my IMSA application, which is due Saturday :o| #

2003-02-24T19:11:00.000-06:00

2 papers, 1 project, a sheet of essay questions, notecards, and a study guide
Most of which are due tomorrow. I got kicked off a DC++ channel earlier for not having enough share space - also, they complained I didn't have much they wanted. My question: How can I get the media of that category if they won't let me get any? I think I'll stick to kazaa for music - I haven't much a choice. Many music channels on DC++ require more share space than my computer's maximum capacity. Shin splints + tendonitis + bad knees = owch. #

2003-02-23T18:44:00.000-06:00

I actually slept today
It's true. I actually slept. Until 11, too. Then I had to get up to play on the sound board at les miserables. Yesterday we one first at the regional math contest, which means that I'll be heading down to the state competition sometime. I burned my 26th cd the other day, with an average of 17 songs per CD. 17*26 = 442 songs. I expect a call from the RIAA soon... #

I've had/am having no free time this week. Wake at six, school at 7:30 to 2:15. I wait an hour for track practice, which I leave early to goto theater, which ends at nine. I get home at 9:30. Sooo... that's 14 hours a day at school. I'm awake for about three hours a day at home, leaving seven hours for slee, theoretically (yeah right). I'm lucky if I get five, actually. On another note, Pyra, who operate Blogger, which is where this is published, has just been bought by Google, yayness. #

2003-02-15T15:25:00.000-06:00

not at play is not necessary at work
I'm not messing around, and my IMSA application is open. I know I need to work on it, but it's so very mind-numbingly boring. I'm on my way over to check Omar's blog for updates. #

2003-02-14T20:14:00.000-06:00

réalise-t-elle le torment qu'elle a créé?
yay, the school week is over. Track practice is at 8 am tomorrow, however. My knees have not been holding up well - over the past two days I have been pained to travel on stairs, and running today it felt as if my right leg was about to fall off. I need to work harder on my IMSA application. #

Zzz... I need to head over to the Real Life forums to join the new forum. I'm too tired to type anything here, so you're not missing anything. #

2003-02-12T18:41:00.000-06:00

think up your own title for here
I haven't anything to blog about now. Track wasn't that bad, school was as dull as any other day, etc. I'm as tired as I have been recently today as well. Very little homework for the third time this week, however. Maybe my teachers have seen the light, or maybe they're just waiting to deal us a fatal blow... depends on the teacher, I guess, ha. Still listening/watching lain, I am. #

2003-02-11T20:03:00.000-06:00

w00t!
downloaded my first lain episode that has working visual! <watches> #

2003-02-11T18:50:00.000-06:00

not late, it isn't
Got back from track, and just ate. I'm listening to lain again - sad, I know. I'm trying to think of good way to introduce it to my parents without them thinking I'm completely mad. I saw the DVD box set on eBay for on average $30 - in the original Japanese, of course, but there are subtitles, and it's a good way to accustom myself to the language. My only fear is that I'll end up like Piro at MegaTokyo - he speaks Japanese like a teenage girl and doesn't know it... I am excedingly tired right now (being tir ed will likely be a recurring theme here with track and all). meh. #

2003-02-11T07:00:00.000-06:00

early, it is
I woke up early today, and had nothing better to do than blog here. I really have nothing to say - my mind hasn't started up yet. My site is the third result for 'spoon blog' on Google yesterday. Now it's fourth. Two sites in Polish occupy the above-me spots, as well as one english one. I'm getting tired of people calling their sites 'there is no spoon'. True, the Matrix was a great movie, and I do worship it, but there is a point at which a phrase becomes overused. 'there is no spoon' has crossed that threshold. I need caffeine #

2003-02-10T21:12:00.000-06:00

I wonder...
I've been thinking a wee bit about these Blogger people. On the Blogger home page they have links to 'sites that they've noticed'. I generally had thought that these links were some high-quality blogs that they dug up - until recently. They've just starred two apparently randomly chosen blogs to post. The two I visited had near-nonexistant archives. How can you judge a blog if it doesn't have a record? I mean, sure, it might have a snazzy picture or two, and a bit of humorous content, but is there any indictation that such behavior will be constant? Maybe they just got lazy and posted to random links.

masochism
Track + field practice started today. I realize the coach/sadist is merely trying to weed out the wimps, but I appreciate my ability to walk. On top of that, it was -6c degrees out there. We were running on ice patches for a large part of the time. I can't wait for tomorrow's practice :o|

lain
Time for today's update on my obsession for this bit of obscure, disturbing anime. I haven't had any time today really to obsess. Track practice ran (no pun intended) until 5:45, and then I had dinner, shower, and homework. I also just realized that I promised a classmate to construct a deck for Magic: the Gathering so that I can cruelly defeat him tomorrow in the time between school and track. bahumbug. I suppose the past two hours I've spent *listening* to episodes of lain is good, ha... #

hmm.... 45 more seconds...
Downloading another Lain episode. I hope this one works properly <grumbles> ...and done. bah. no picture. ah well.

'twas browsing through the ThinkGeek store and surfaced a couple items that would interest me... If you want to donate money to help me purchase an item or two, I'm sure I could find a way to receive your offering XD #

There must be some obscure law in physics that says that I must spill coffee on myself everytime I have a cappuccino.

I spent an hour downloading an episode of serial experiments lain as an mpeg file, but it picture won't show. It's only sound. I am sickeningly irritated at this development. I intend to see if I can squeeze the picture out of it using a different device to open it, but I'm too busy just listening to it (and typing this) for that now. I know a painfully small amount of Japanese, but I seem to be understanding most of it so far - which is odd. I could swear that I understand words I don't know the meaning to. It's like listening to English in a daze - I can't understand a word of what's being said, but I fully comprehend the meaning. Maybe it's just the tones of voice or something like that. Odd.

the message board is gone
I hated it, and it mussed up my page. I killed it. I feel no remorse. #

2003-02-07T13:41:00.000-06:00

that was not worth the effort
I just spend a fair amount of time putting the message board there on right. I regret putting it there, seeing as it completely messed up my 600x800 res compatibility, as well as forced me to make other changes to the structure of this page. I"m not wasting my effort to get rid of it, however....#

2003-02-06T19:40:00.000-06:00

tagboard
I'll be reshuffling the page here a wee bit soon to put a message board thing on the right margin. This main blog part will be where it is now, but it won't extend all the way to the margin. I"m not sure why I'm putting the board there - novelty, I guess. #

Zwan isn't half bad
I've listened to the Smashing Pumpkins for a while, but just recently got around to downloaded a Zwan song or two (actually, eight). I don't see why I didn't get these before. Tres good. #

meh. I'm re-writing chapter 12 of the Lord of the Flies under the assumtion that Simon wasn't killed at Jack's feast. It's five pages long, and I'm sick of it. I don't know where I'm going with it, either. Maybe I should just kill everyone and get it over with. #

School is over for the week - now I can sleep. I recently downloaded a 72 minute long album in 5 minutes, which I am absolutely estatic about. I just wish I could burn it that fast. Take that, Hillary Rosen!

need... script...
I hate it when someone uses a really good script on their site but makes it impossible to steal. It's not in the spirit of the internet, ffs! What do you think we have p2p for? To share stuff. Why should you make your scripts easier to steal? To help share more. Bah! <runs off grumbling>

I'm rather getting sick of not having a server. My move to a real site looms closer on the horizon. As stated before, spoon.com might become available on 3 May. I don't want to wait til then, especially since I'm not sure if I would be able to get it. I'm placing well-aimed comments at various locations here. I've also gotten around to adding titles to links and images and the sort.

O.o weee... psychedelic....
I've been making AVS visualizations for winamp recently... I'm not sure that this is a good thing, either/ Might become dangerous if I get some spare time.

<dances>
Mon ordinateur est now working mieux coz I've just cleaned it. I deleted a total of 10592 files, which is nowhere NEAR as many as I've done before. The 4 gig harddrive is now 300 megs less loaded - now me has 758 free megs to pour music into XD
C'est 11 heures... I woke up an hour and a half ago. I need something to eat, but I don't know whether I should call it breakfast or lunch. Maybe I just won't call it anything to spare me the trouble...

Got rid of that marquee
Now page enterances and exits will go more smooth. Less hectic, easier to read, looks better, etc.

give me my music already!
Never before had I seen such an abundance of music in a search for good music (barring pink floyd and led zeppelin, of course). Overnight zillions of Luna Sea files had magically appeared. Eager to sieze the wealth of sound, I marked to download a good 15 of 'em. I got three. Apparently some other such music fanatic had gotten there first, as I was on a remote queue. I'm still on that list, and not one file has come to me save those orignal three. <shoots other Luna Sea fans through the head in much the same way one shoots people that cause delays in downloads in the head>
I can't think of a good domain name for me. spoon.(com|net|org) is taken, although the entry for spoon.com ends 3 May. Maybe I can bribe its owner to let me have it.

I hate it when my glasses frost up in winter...
...coz I can't see now, whether they be on or off.
Currently I'm runnning alternate universes in John Conway's Game of Life (and here). (life==fun) returns true

Lethal doses of caffeine! <dies>
I've put some effort into calculating the maximum dose of a given liquid before the caffeine in it kills you. As follows...

	Mg caffeine per 355 mL	Lethal dose
Pepsi	38	264 cans
Coke	46	218 cans
Dr. Pepper	41	244 cans
Jolt Cola	71	141 cans
RC Cola	18	556 cans
Mountain Dew	54	186 cans
Hot Cocoa	19	527 cups
Tea	192	53 cups
Coffee	360	28 cups

Just as a guide, doncha know...
