man, if this and the unbreakable umbrella got together, you might really have something.

⇒ bad to worse

terrible day started at 11pm last nite and only got worse.

List of the bad to worse:
-I couldn't get back to sleep until 3am.
-still can't find that black shirt in spite of turning the room inside out
-frustration at the lack of living space
-frustration at the current petrol/housing crisis! WTF?!?!??
-frustration at work--personnel restructuring and the excitement die-ing down.
-wake up about 630am.
-run for the train and still miss it. sh!t!
-trudging to and from work
-cold, windy, miserable weather.
-overall headache and drowsiness today.
-annoying 16' mobile phone call!
-arriving home late.

for the record, I've scalped PwC, IBM AND QBE now! I passed all their tests and progressed through all the rounds. Ha! in yo face, world! Before, you didn't want me, now what's up!?!??!

In tennis news, Rafa wins Queens club, a grasscourt tourney. This brings his bad-ass-ness to an all new level. He already scares Federer real good but now he's won a tournament on Federer's turf! He beat Djokovic to do it too...up 9-3!

uber-powerful laser: http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/university-of-michigan-creates-most-intense-laser-in-the-univers/
to get an idea of how powerful it is:
"contains 300 terawatts of power (or 300 times the capacity of the entire US electricity grid)..."
"If you could hold a giant magnifying glass in space and focus all the sunlight shining toward Earth onto one grain of sand, that concentrated ray would approach the intensity of [HERCULES]." shiiiiit!

⇒ wacom intuos3

and me won go home...

finally picked up a tablet today. Forget those cheapo Graphire models (no offense Graphire users) and forget the entry-level Bamboo (though I do find it strangely appealing)--I got an Intuos3 A5 (6x8)! I think in class I normally use a 4x3. Got a whopping 43% off! I wasn't in a rush, but I have left it long enough, so I figure better late than never...and I'll try make proper use of it in the time I have.
