Looking good

Yeah…I’m alive….I’m back from NY. Ok so what’s up?? Well…my amihotornot.com rating has skyrocketed to 5. I’m almost kinda sexy….look at my almost…ok nuff of that.

I was studying chemistry and got to thinking about household products and thought hmm….it’s really really really easy to make stuff from household products that pack a lot of energy. I’ll have time next term to really think about it so I’ll probably post stuff up on the site on how to do stuff like that.

I just looked up on the blackboard and saw that somebody had erased my brilliant binary search tree with duplicate nodes with: FUN?

That’s going to make me think for a while. I watched Princess Bride and I’m remembering a lot of scenes from the movie and oh my goodness….FUUUUUUUUUUUNY. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you do, great stuff to watch for all ages. It almost compares to the Grinch (live action one with Jim Carrey)…if you haven’t seen that movie you are missing a lot…go see it poste haste.

Ok I really should study…at this point I’d like to formally apologise to Shreya for scaring the “Living Daylights”(credit goes to MGM…Bond film) out of her.

That’s it for the moment.

Studying for Chemistry for 6 straight hours…no breaks no nothing…I know it pretty well now…making a study sheet(s) and that’s about it. I was checking the news today and saw that Nobel prize stuff was going on…very very cool.
But there’s another reason I find it cool. It reminds me of a time during the summer of 99 (that’s 1999 for you young punks…we didn’t have 3D projection systems…we had to look at everything on a 2D screen…sorry just practicing my old man rant). I found out that the Nobel prize winner for trapping atoms with Laser light, Steven Chu (who won that prize in 1997 along with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips), was going to give a talk at the Modern Arts Lecture hall here at the University of Waterloo….well I had about 10 minutes to get there….so I jumped on my bike with my knapsack and got there in about 10 minutes…locked up my bike and stuff and went it. It is one of the funnier moments of my life because I was very very sweaty (hot and humid day) and I walked into this hall full of professors and grad students and (in general) distinguished people. I was wearing shorts(hawaian colours!!!) and a think cotton shirt (baaaaaaaad idea) and found a seat in the center of the auditorium…so yeah I kinda caused a lot of trouble for everybody else…he he.

Mr. Chu started giving his talk…explanation of how it worked…understood a lot of it quite well…it was very neat…and then came question time….3 questions in total were asked….I asked 2 of them (GOOOOOOOOOOO ME)…they dealt with the power of the lasers and whether eventually it could be built up so that it could move actual materials and such things around in space…good questions I think. The reason I brought all this up is because…it’s funny…it’s a good memory (don’t have many of those) and because I thought of a way to fit his contraption into a smaller area…this is good because he was looking for something like that….sweeeet….but he probably already thought of that so….back to studying…maybe I’ll get a Nobel prize in Rants and Raves 😉
