Saturday, July 13, 2002 I went out to the university today cuz I had to take a test (some dum test they refer to as the "whoopee" ie Writing Proficiency Exam) and while there I cruised around campus a bit to see if it was the same as I remember. I checked out the psych building to see if my old pelting platform was there and it was <trembles with excitement> but unfortunately there was some kind of orientation thing going on so there were witnesses around so I couldn't try it out. I did remember a couple things wrong though, there is no way I coulda been on the top floor and pelted, the angle is too steep. And I couldn't see the elevators thru glass either, I coulda *sworn* I could years ago but maybe they've changed that or something. Or maybe my vivid imagination just wished it was that way. Everything else was pretty much the same except the trees are bigger and there's a lot of construction work going on. I didn't wander up to check out the building with the wading pool, erm reflection pond under it though, I used to have heaps of fun in that thing on hot summer days when the fountains were on. I don't even know if they have water in it anymore cuz some dum kid might come along and drown or something. Although how you can drown in 6 inches of water is beyond me, unless of course you climb up on a sculpture and jump off, whacking your head on the way down knocking yourself unconscious or something. Not that I ever did that - I *knew* how to jump off sculptures, thanks in large part to the huge amount of practice I had on campus. Speaking of sculptures I'll have to wander around again sometime and see if my old favorite jumping ones are still there. They used to have concrete under 'em too, which made jumping all the more fun and challenging. Anyway, it was fun reminiscing. Having to park way the heck out in the boondocks wasn't fun though, I'd forgotten how uphill the walk is from lower campus to upper campus.

Tuesday, July 09, 2002 How much do you trust Microsoft™? I dunno about you but I don't even fully trust them with my operating system - did you know that in the latest update for Windows™ you are forced to agree to a EULA that basically gives MS the right to monitor what's on your computer? So, if you are in the habit of uhm ... pirating software or music without paying for it, you may find odd things happening on your computer. Of course, it serves you right for *stealing* hehe. That's one thing I actually support Microsoft on, I don't agree with their methods though.

Monday, July 08, 2002 We are all gonna be dead in 50 years, oh no! Enjoy your SUV and your conspicuously consumptive lifestyle now hehe. Personally I think we'll all be dead before then judging from the way things are in the world now, but I'm a pessimist when it comes to humanity. I do kinda wish people would pay attention to something other than their own wants though (notice I said "wants" not "needs", a lotta people confuse the two as in "I need a new SUV my old one is 2 years old.") I'm glad I haven't fully bought into the materialistic attitude most Americans have though, it makes me feel a little less guilty for letting the planet go to pot, but being an American I am still responsible to some degree. I don't own an SUV though, but I really "need" <G> one of those nifty cool Honda Civic hybrids. Anyone wanna give me the money for one? ;)
