Hair Long Buey Song

My barber's back, so I got myself a haircut. Feel much better now without those strands brushing against my forehead. I'm no Samson, but I won't be going Britney either. Modern Physics midterms on Thursday, so I guess I'll get that done and over with before worrying about my three graded projects (two months remaining). Wasn't in the mood to do anything serious last weekend, so I just caught up with embellishing and sorting my notes. Also, the computer connected to the printer is cranking up again, freezing at the user select screen without explanation at times. Grr.

I think I'm getting a bit stressed over those projects for no good reason. Envy those Danes - their secret to happiness? Low expectations. Simple and tempting, but I guess I've been bred to be too competitive. C'mon, loosen up!

The junior rat race has its upsides, though. Here's the Campus Streetwise Tip of the Day:

Q: What should you do if you are confronted by armed robbers who demand your money or your life?

A: Show them your matriculation card. They will understand that you have no money and no life.

 Ran through my old (paltry) MP3 collection on a whim on Sunday night - got over the Pandora phase pretty fast, and most of the time now my computer's running with the speakers off. Silence is golden. I rediscovered some songs I have a soft spot for though... J.Lo's Waiting for Tonight, Leann Rimes' Can't Fight the Moonlight, Las Ketchup's The Ketchup Song, Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi, Tata Young's Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy, Madonna's Don't Cry For Me, Argentina, Enrique Iglesias' Rhythm Divine...

Okay, some Chinese songs there too: Jolin Tsai's 布拉格广场, F.I.R's Lydia, Zhou Chuan Xiong's 哈萨雅琪... Now where did my copy of Ah Niu's 阿牛和阿花的故事 go?

The spooky thing was that when I was midway through Edguy's (NOT Edchong's) The Piper Never Dies, I got some Man Utd commentary that blended into the instrumental part without vocals. Twice. I was almost convinced it was a remix or something, but when it happened to 布拉格广场 I knew it couldn't be. Turns out that it was probably from some Soccernet front-page streaming video I had up in the background.

And Assignment Four of my Level 5 module, on how to reduce the amount of triangles needed to satisfactorily render a 3D model when it recedes into the background. Level of details, they call it.
