i am MORPHEUS!

morpheus
You are Morpheus, one of the leaders of the
Resistance. And suffice to say, you are one
bad-ass mofo. You can kick the One’s ass, you
can break through walls, and you can somehow
survive truth serum and torture. My hats off
to you!
Charismatic and a great leader, you can inspire
your peers to attempt the impossible, and make
it possible.
Packing a katana in the sequel, you should be
seeing pleeenty of action!

“You take the blue pill, the story ends, you
wake up in your bed and believe whatever you
want to believe. You take the red pill, you
stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the
rabbit hole goes…”

What Character From The Matrix Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

And just as a side note, I thought Matrix:Reloaded was pretty freaking awesome. The Wachowski brothers really took the story onto a whole new level. Bravo!! I liked the twist at the end too. I won’t give too much away, but i will say that it makes an interesting point about how the modes of dissent are increasingly coming under the control of those in power…

I can’t wait for Matrix:Revolutions. (counts down the days…)

transitioning to movable type

i’ve finally done it. leave it to the stress of finals to finally drive me to move my blog onto a movable type platform. heh.

what’s been done:
– mt configured on pearlescent.org site, linked from pearl.freeshell.org.
– mt templates/stylesheets edited slightly from a default design… maybe more redesign will take place. should i adapt my old design to mt, or do people like this one better? please let comment below!!
– posts from old blogger blog have been imported into mt, and can be accessed through side archive links. boy, i’ve been blogging for a long time.
– hmm.. the site looks kind of bland. i’ll have to come up with a new color scheme eventually.

yay! i’ve got a new blog to play with!!

so what do you guys think of the new look? feedback, please~!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

return of the blogger

those of you who have been reading my blog in either of its iterations (this blog and the xanga blog) probably have noticed the recent dearth of entries. this is not an accident. Recently, i’ve been very “blah” about what and how i should be posting. so much of a daily log is about what interesting stuff happened in your day. this is hard to do when you’re not having interesting days.

at the same time, i still come across so many weird neat things on the web. I guess you could say the web *is* my day, for better or for worse. so i might as well start posting again. :)

my recent discovery is that of a band called “Fannypack” who has a song out called “Cameltoe.” They were recently featured in the NYTimes (think that! a credible publication publishing the word “cameltoe”!!) (well, let’s discuss the credibility issues they have later. >_link to a site featuring cameltoes of all makes and models.

… and if you don’t know what a cameltoe is… well… ask a friend. ;-)

gettin’ on the movable type boat

i’ve finally got mt semi-functional now on my new site. hopefully i’ll be keeping this domain name for a decent amount of time, but fortune may be unkind and decide i can’t afford it. -grins- at any rate, i’ll have my site at pearl.freeshell.org. sorry for so much confusion!

anyway, MT took a while for me to set up because i’m stupid, but it’s somehow working sort of now. woohoo. there’s so much flexibility in this! wow!!!

i go explore MT. :)

no time to update!! busy

no time to update!! busy writing papers! *sob!*

lately i’ve been: spending too much time with jen jen and sue; eating too much fatburger (mm… fatburger…); not drinking enough water; sneezing a lot cuz allergies seem to be really bad this year; spending far too much time finding all these random cool sites; listening to a lot of blur (see my music blog) and other kinda random crap.

weee back to work. :(

panjabi MCs – beware of the boys
blur – good song
ben kweller – bk baby, commerce tx
the rentals – the love i’m searching for
