10:50 PM - How depressing is this, three posts in a row about the words. Anyway, I bought something from eBay recently, and the seller told me to have a "happy... Memorial Day Weekend"... what nerve! How can I be happy on this day in which America has granted us all the right to shed our tears in the streets due to the men and (most recently) women that died to save us from Communism, haha. Anyway, I got the words up for this week. There is one of you in the audience that took Week 31's words instead of 32 (that I am not putting up) earlier today, so if you will be smart enough to freaking look at the top of your damn paper, you will realize you are an idiot and will come back for this week's, haha. And for those of you with enough intellect to notice that this site has titles, but forget the weekly format, it's like the usual, here or here:

Take care guys. see u.

11:00 PM - Clippers lost Round 2 - now it's Suns and Mavericks for the Western Conference. I've been busy working with some clients - but here are the words for this week, this is mainly aimed towards you forth perioders. It's like the usual guys, here or here:

Take care guys. see u.

11:55 PM - I'm basically putting this up for you fourth perioders (although first period can use it too, obviously); hopefully you'll print it out before the test, like first period does. After a freaking long break (due to APs), we are taking our Vocab quizzes again. Just to let you guys know before hand, "Mote" is in here twice; it is not a typo on my part. Also - I went to the Clippers' game with Robyn on Sunday (they lost tonight's by the way, 3-2 Suns), so I have some pictures and video (we got on TV, sort of, haha) of that, as well as a new toy coming tomorrow, Insha Allah... but more on that later, I guess. But for now - I'm going to quickly put these words up before an angry mob shows up at my front door and notices how dirty my car has been lately, shame shame. It's like the usual guys, here or here:

Happy Birthday Julian. Take care guys. see u.

6:45 PM - As most of you should know, the Lakers were not able to make it to the second round, mainly because it seemed as if everyone became really bitter. I mean you have Kwame just standing around, Smush missing every shot, and Kobe losing interest all together - it was just not good. Game One went okay though, although we did lose, it was a semi-fun game. Games two through four we won, and that's where the fun really began. Every game after that, we lost, one was full of dirty plays (Game 5), one was pretty close (until overtime - Game 6) and the other, and one was just plain sad (Game 7). I've compiled (with the help of Imadul) some short clips for your viewing pleasure; I only ripped the last three games (the games in which we lost... hmm...) and Imadul ripped portions of the other ones. I'll try my best to give the clips some justice; by the way, they're all at 360x240. So let's go, shall we?

11:30 PM - Well, it's May 2nd, so you know what that means. No? Darn, I thought someone would. Well Tool officially released 10,000 Days today - I say officially because many people have had it for weeks (I've had it for about one week). But I'm here to say - if you have downloaded it, or had someone else get it for you, please go out and buy it. If anyone deserves this, it's Tool. And it's only ten bucks!

Let me tell you a story about my day to Best Buy to buy this CD. I head over there with the shirt I wore to school today, my "ISOHUNT" shirt (which is getting really old; I really should do something about my old shirts, haha). So I walked in, and went over to the music section and went over to the "T"s to get the album. Ænima, Lateralus, Undertow... where's 10,000 Days? So I'm searching for this CD, looking in the numbers section, the "D" section, even under A Perfect Circle just in case some idiot put it there for fun, but no luck; this Asian guy in the Rap section kept looking at me strangely too. I guess I did look a little suspicious, some Arab guy with long hair and a beard rummaging through CDs like he lost the detonator for his bomb behind the From Justin to Kelly soundtrack or something, cos this fat white guy with short, crew cut hair and glasses walks over to me and asks if everything is okay. Normally, a dude in blue would come over and ask if you needed any help, so I was thinking, who the hell are you. He had a "Manager" badge on his shirt, so I decided to mess with him, I was like, "Well maybe you can help me understand why this store is in such damn horrible condition." He keeps a straight face and asks me what I mean. I then go into this semi-racist rant about how the people who work here aren't intelligent enough to restock new albums that have run out on the shelves. At one point during my rant, I put my right hand in my pocket and fiddle with my phone, but he didn't know what it was. He told me to calm down and that he'd go in the back to go look if there were any extras. As he walked away, I had this very serious look on my face - I wasn't sure if I was serious at all; I usually get into this very strange mood after I play a joke like that, haha - and to add, people were staring at me when they walked by, that Asian guy too. The manager comes back and gives me the CD and tells me to have a nice day, and I mumble, "not in a world run by whiteys", haha. I get to the counter and put the CD on there and the guy at the register, some Spanish guy with humongous large lips - he had to be part black or something - looked at my shirt and then looked at the CD and said, "Why don't you download it?" That just majorly pissed me off, so I punched him in the face and ran out of the Best Buy with the stolen CD in hand.

12:01 AM - Wow, I honestly can't believe you guys are still reading this. After last month, I thought everyone lost interest, and because AP Language hits its last day today, due to the AP Exam in a couple of hours, Insha Allah - good luck by the way; there won't be anymore words causing the hits to this site to literally cut in half. But I think it was necessary to take a break, because there were other things I had to focus on. For starters, I started working on D-Hall in the second week of April.

I was working fourteen to fifteen hour days, then I had to come home, eat something, watch something on TV, and then go straight to bed. The work hours were from 6 AM to 7 PM, but usually got out at around 7:30 PM - the earliest I left was 6:30 PM, and the latest, wrap day, was around 9 PM. The shoot went really well, I think. It really seemed like it was a professional film, although this was my first set. The director, Matt Mabry, was also the writer and producer, so that quickly narrowed down the creativity aspect of it having one guy know everything. I was the lowest of the low, a PA (Production Assistant). But I somehow was bumped up to directing PA by the end of the week - that's what they credited me as in the final crew list, so I'm really happy about that. The film looks great - lighting, acting, directing: all great. I brought my 350d to the set the second half of the week to be their set photographer as they didn't have someone to do it full time. They had Michael, the HD Manager (oh, it was all shot on the Panasonic HVX200, sweet) dropping by after he loaded the cards up to take some behind the scenes video and some snaps the first couple of days, but after I brought my camera, he didn't have to worry about it. I'm doing their site too. Two actually. One for the production company, Meadowknoll Productions, and one for the film - I won't start working on it til the end of this week though, Insha Allah, as I requested that I first finish my APs and SAT II this weekend - they of course, being the nice people they are, abided. I'll of course let you guys know the updates on that, Insha Allah.
