OneWord: Lust
I'm lusting after one of the sleek and shiny new iPods and a Powerbook G4. Hopefully sometime this summer I'll be able to get one or both of those spiffy items.

OneWord: Feature
"It's not a bug, it's a feature!" I hate software that trys to have a million different features, none of which work very well as opposed to software with a few core features that all work exceptionally well. Completely unrelated, I'm looking for a digital camera with certain features (2 mega pixel, 3x optical zoom) to take to California with me. Any suggestions?
OneWord: Bowl
I wish Fribley actually had bowls, plates, and clean silverware more often than it does. Jake said he doesn't like the way they've been using paper cups and styrofoam bowls because it's killing trees and oil. :-)
OneWord: Smooch
In Erik's post about smooch he said he heard Death to Smoochie was a very bad movie. I've heard it's really funny though from several people. I'll have to try and watch it sometime.
OneWord: Pink
I first thought of the singer rather than the color. Hmmm, Angie should add Pink to her Manly or Not poster, she can look pretty many sometimes. However, Carrie Ann Moss is definitely not manly.
OneWord: Elegant
"I've never done it with the style and grace you have." Oddly that was playing when I loaded this page. Style and elegance kind of go together. That was a short OneWord entry, maybe the next one will be longer.

OneWord: Voice
I'm a pretty shy person and not really one to voice my opinions. Angie says I have to get over my shyness because if I don't start macking on girls, I'll never get a girlfriend. :p

OneWord: Boss
My boss at Apple this summer will be Nik Bhatt. I've talked to him on the phone and he sounds like a nice guy. Actually, everyone I've talked to at Apple has been really nice. This is going to be a fun summer.
OneWord: Glamour
Glamour, glamourous, I don't have much to say about this. I already read Erik's OneWord about this and he talked about magazine's Cosmo and Maxim. I think I'll just sit and watch the timer bar fill up. Yay done.

OneWord: Screen
Screen is a nifty terminal management utility for Unix. Thanks to fink I have it installed for OS X. The 23" Cinema Displays have a nice screen, maybe I'll have one at work this summer. That would be pretty sweet.

OneWord: Princess
Thank You, Mario but our Princess is in another castle. Yay video game references. Of course the Something Corporate song Punk Rock Princess comes to mind, although it's not anywhere near my favorite song of theirs. The Princess Bride is a great movie, we watched it the other week from Han's computer because some people hadn't seen it.

OneWord: Paper
I have one more reaction paper to write for my Japanese Pop Culture class. Part of it is supposed to be on Akira, and the other part is on various manga. It would have been nice to have gotten back even one of the other 4 reaction papers we turned in throughout the semester.

OneWord: Reflect
I already read Erik's post about reflect and he mentioned that vampire's don't have a reflection, so this pretty much obligates me to write about the damn attractive Jessica or Scary Vampire Girl as Angie calls her because she is pale. Angie clearly doesn't have good taste in women. :-) Jake, Phil, and Matt agree with me that she's hot. She seems like a nice girl and it'd be nice to get a chance to talk to her sometime before the end of the year so if I see her around next year I can say hi. But that's not too likely to happen.
OneWord: Actually
One week ago, I had very little idea what I was going to up doing this summer, but after last week it looks like I actually have a chance at working for Apple. I spoke with 2 different people at Apple last week about the same position and I think the interviews went pretty well. Hopefully I'll hear something early this week.

OneWord: Dawn
That would be when the sun rises. We took a fun trip to Chuck's Diner last semester around 5 in the morning and our goal was to get back before the sun rose. We did manage to, but barely. Going to bed before the sun comes up is a good thing. :-)
OneWord: Order
The happened-before relation is a partial ordering of events in a distributed system. I needed to know that little bit of info for today's operating systems test. I guess I don't need to go to that class anymore since the final is optional and we just took our last test and there isn't anymore homework.
OneWord: Candle
We aren't allowed to have candles in the dorm because they're a fire hazard I suppose. Apparently footspray can set up a smoke dectector because that's apparently what happened a couple nights ago at 2:45 am. I wasn't asleep at the time, in fact I don't think I went to bed until 5 that night.
OneWord: Enemy
I don't think I have any enemies. There's a few professors I could do without, but I'm not sure I'd consider them enemies. And I don't think I am anyone's enemy. Hmm, only one person has ever asked me "Do you hate me?" and the ironic/sad thing the person that asked is the only person I've ever been in love with...strange.
OneWord: Specific
Heh, specific is an interesting word for one word, just because every day they give you a specific word to write about. I don't have much else to say about specific, I haven't done one word in a while, so I thought I'd catch up on them.

OneWord: Step
"I'll take a step back and let you ahead, I'll take a step away and see if you come back because there's no more trying to make this alright. Will we ever be the same." Lyrics from Early November's song Sunday Drive. Well, it's 2:45 and I can't sleep so I guess I'll code for an hour or so. And no I don't know what that has to do with step.

OneWord: Momentum
Oh boy, a physics term. The law of conservation of momentum...aren't pool ball collisions usually used to demonstrate momentum in physics classes? Jillian's is having free pool today at 5 which is why I'm here writing this and not at class.

OneWord: Answer
42...the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. But what is the ultimate question? I hope I have all the answers to the questions on the 2 quizzes I have tomorrow, but if not they are open book so I should be able to find them. :-)

OneWord: Demo
What was the last good game demo I played? I can't remember. I did just play Frequency though which is fun, even though I'm apparently horrible at keeping a beat.

OneWord: Reluctant
There are a few people I could categorize as being reluctant right now, including myself. Why is it so hard for people to talk to each sometimes. You should be able to tell your friends when something is bothering you right?
OneWord
I read about OneWord at Erik's blog the other day. It sounds interesting and I'm going to try doing them, so hopefully I'll have at least one post every day now.
