evil thy name is pc

you know right after i posted that last post my computer froze on me again. bastard.

i've been trying to learn javascript. well not really learning it, that would take too much time, so really i'm just trying to mess with the code i already have to see if it will work. on that note, there is no way you can just mimic javascript, like you can mimic html, and learn it. i actually think that i'll have to take an actual class to learn javascript.

but i don't want to learn it anymore. at least, not right now. i will eventually (since my major is going to be computer science), but not in the immediate future.

so i have um, well, two options: post a query somewhere about how to change image width and height in image arrays for specific images (or maybe i can ask salazar next semester when he's back for compsci), or buy this software that (theoretically) lets me create slideshows and then burn them onto a cd, that i can play on a dvd player. or, was it burn a cd to play on computer and a dvd to play on dvd player? either one works. i originally wanted it so that people could play the slideshow on their dvd players, but if i do it in javascript like i was planning (plan #4, considering i think that the whole flash idea fell through) that won't be possible. i can buy the software no problem, i just want to research it first to make sure it's not complete crap.

and you know once i install the software, this evil computer will crash or something like that. why? because it hates me. but at least it's a mutual hate-hate relationship.

so i was in santa today, looking for a javascripting book (and opting out once i figured there is no way i can decently teach myself javascripting). i spent about an hour at bestbuy, looking at things that i will never buy, and looking at software. i didn't want to buy the software then, so i went over to the mall. advice to self: never go window shopping when you don't want to spend money. i ended up buying a brandon lee/the crow 2004 calendar. it was worth the $13.

things i must do this weekend: finish my berkeley application. do my physics project. finish reading dorian gray. contemplate starting my government paper.

clean my room.

no, really. i'm going to clean my room.

sidenote: after spending two hours at bme this morning, i'm totally ready to get my tattoo. but, seeing as i won't have money for it until i get an actual job, i'm going to hold off on it until my july 4th tradition rolls along. hey, i told them when i got old enough i'd switch piercings with tattoos.

mmm. now all i need is to rent x-men 2 this weekend, and i'll be set.
