I win.
The police requested an extension. The court granted them the extension. Even after the extension, they couldn't make up a viable story to challenge my 10 page long argument (with pictures).
Nothing on record and I get my bail money back. Weeeee
Now what can I spend $519 on... hmm...
facebook disabled + new earhpones(again)
stuff
|
Depressing news (for me) first. I got my facebook account disabled. So if you're wondering where I disappeared off to, it's cause I was "spamming" messages to "unknown person(s)" and a high rate. It ended up being considered "misuse of facebook features" and I got my account disabled.
If messages are not supposed to be used to talk to friends I'm not too sure what they're supposed to be used for...
I'm also not sure how it was spam, every message was unique. I know everyone I message too. -.-
So until then, I'm pretty much going through facebook withdrawl. :[ I guess it's a sign that I should be working on my research paper.
Now to happier news. New headphones! KSC-75For those of you who wonder why I keep buying earphones/headphones, it's because I already own two and a half very nice sound systems at home, so when I'm staying still, at home, in the living room, I have good sound. But now I'm on laptop, so I want the same good sound I had at home, through earphones. Besides, its cheaper to get earphones.
Bang for buck, this one wins hands down. My Sennheisers cost three times as much (retail) and these sound slightly better.
But sound quality is only better in complete silence. These are open type earphones. So they don't block sound at all. You can hear most environmental sounds around you, and they can hear your sounds too if its quiet enough, and you're playing music loud enough.
Plus, they're not exactly ideal for running.
But they produce very very good sound for their price.
school sweater

I finally got myself a UCSB sweater. I know, took me long enough right? It was pretty last minute too, bought it the day before my freshman discount expired. :P I doesn't have a surfer dude on it like the rest of them, oh well. It's also significantly longer than the rest of my sweaters, so if you thought my other sweaters were long before, this ones a good 5 inches longer. I guess its to accommodate all the tall people here.
You get a view of my extremely filled closet too :P Image is flipped so you can actually read the "Santa Barbara" on my sweater, cause the mirror flips it. So yes, its as if someone was taking a picture of me from inside the mirror. Creepy thought.
my sad ipod story
|
So my Cx300s broke. I liked them. I ordered another pair since its cheaper to buy a new pair than to potentially pay to get my old ones fixed (yeah, I don't know either....). I ordered my new earphones on Friday.
On Monday, when I was looking through my desk for my ipod, I discovered that they were gone. I'm pretty sure I didn't misplace them, I always stick it in the same place inside my desk. So no ipod to keep me awake in letures. :( And I have to scrap up the money to replace it.
So now I have a brand new pair of nice earphones (white too, to match my now missing ipod) all lonely without an ipod to pair with. :(

R.I.P. CX300. You will be missed.

Remember back in March when I bought a pair of Sennheisner CX300s? They broke. Lets take a moment to remember all the abuse I've put it through..
I drop them on the floor, often. The left earphone normally stays hanging around my next, and often gets flung into walls or crushed when I carry stuff. I exposed the wiring (which I fixed later) by pulling on them too hard trying to pull my iPod out of my pocket. Both earphones have been dissected (and later reassembled on the spot) because they got hit too hard by something.
I run with them I jump with them. Sometimes I sleep with them (since they're kinda sound canceling). Sometimes when I run or jump, my iPod falls out of my pocket, and it either hangs by the earphone on my ear, or the jack disconnects and my iPod falls to the ground. Oh, and sweat and other sorts of bodily fluids gets on it all the time.
Strangely enough, even though my left earphone gets more abuse (the left side is longer, and I normally only wear one), my right one died one me first. Another funny point is that it just suddenly went quiet when I was just walking around (slowly at that), not jumping, running, or playing teather iPod with it.
My warranty didn't expire yet (2 yr), but I don't have any form of proof of purchase. I'm also not sure if all the abuse I've put it though can be noticed, and if it contributes to anything. Perfect example of this is if you decide to shake your computer hard drive, and contantly power up/down your computer within a few seconds. Hard drive fails. But its considered normal failure covered by warranty, even though it was user induced. Now to just wait for a responce.
If it does get replaced, horray! I'll probably buy two more different one. One dirt cheap one for running. Another pair of headphones for dorm use. If not, I'll probably replace it with one of similar price and quality, just to try out other brands.

left handers rant on right handed people part 2
|
See previous post for background info.
So today, when I came to class, as usual, all the lefty desks were taken. Nothing new. Here's the infuriating part:
-Half of those people were using laptops. Since you type with both hands, it doesn't matter if the laptop is slightly to the left or to the right. Sure you can be slightly angled, but why would you want to angle yourself facing away from the professor is beyond me. If its hard to understand, just sit on the left side of the lecture hall on a lefty desk and try to write and you'll probably face the wall. Then move so some other lefty doesn't get pissed off at you.
-Of those half using laptops, half didn't even use the desk, they just placed the laptop on their lap. Smarter, at least this way they're facing the right way. Still, don't hog up a lefty desk if you're not going to write with your left hand.
-The half not using laptops that were right handed, eventually got tired of facing a wall when they wrote, so they just put their notebook on their right thigh, and wrote on that.
-There was only one guy on the lefty desks actually writing with his left hand. More power to him.
So then I glanced around, and realized the guy directly in front of me was a lefty (we were both sitting on a righty desk to the right of the lefty desk) and we kept glaring at the guy right next to us.

left handedness sucks

OK, before back in the old old days when we were in high school, it didn't matter too much if you were left handed or right handed, the desk was big enough to accommodate either hand, and you had your own desk most of the time.
Well. Lecture halls don't work that way. They're all right handed small little pop out desks that make it annoying to take notes with left hand. Not too bad, you sit on the left side of the room and sit slightly sideways. If you come to lecture SUPER early, you can fight for he handful of lefty desks ( I swear they're the first ones to fill up, and the people who fill them up use laptops.. -.-)
Now what's bugging me even more is that.. my desk in my room is a righty desk. IT SUCKS BALLS. My desk at home was symmetrical, so it had equal amounts of space on both left and right side (which is normal for big desks). But my dorm desk has much more space on the right side, and nothing on the left side (cept Daniel's dresser.. which is kinda a extension of my desk). No likey.
One of these days, we lefties (studies show that lefties are smarter but have a higher risk of brain problems) will take over the world and redesign scissors, lecture hall desks, and everything to be lefties. :D
