i am, like, hella closer to stanford than jared is...<sarcasm>thanks for the call, adrian!</sarcasm> i was even in palo alto this weekend. chuh.

well, in a non-mock-outraged vein, i got all excited today in statistics...okay, so we're studying random sampling or some such crap, and my totally freaking insane teacher was ranting as usual, and then he starts going on about how before calculators they used tables of random digits, and how colleges used to have rooms full of encyclopedia-sized books filled with random digits. how library of babel is that?
someone more poetic should take that shit and run with it.

speaking of poetic, i wrote a sestina! in spanish, but still. in really terrible spanish, but...never mind.

also, maxine hong kingston is going to be giving a reading in berkeley next month, which makes me think of y'all. she will be reading from her new book and speaking in conversation with dennis bernstein, host of kpfa radio's news magazine "flashpoints." the event is wheelchair accessible and will be american sign language interpreted. just thought you should know.

am working on reading the sound and the fury (left it in a coffee shop, have to go buy a new copy.) since everyone's been recommending such classy books, can i suggest fear and loathing in las vegas, for anyone that's breathing? i read this book way too often at a formative age, and it's shaped me considerably, sadly enough.

if everyone else is bragging around here (just kidding tara, i love you), me and my dad passed $10k raised last week - just 6 1/2 weeks left till the marathon, yay yay oh my god i'm gonna die. i'll be in hawaii for a week, of course arriving the day after aimee leaves (dammit.)

how do i miss th'all? let me count the ways:
way #2343321: there's like 4005 alexes at my school. and every time anyone says anything about "alex," i'm always like, "b. or y.?" then i'm like "neither. f***."
way #4982910: without susan's calming influence, i still can't stop cursing. susan where are you?

tae-yeoun wants us all to post what we're being for halloween, so i'll start (yay!) i was a pretty pretty princess on friday for our school's costume dance (yes, we're all dorks), but me and my friend javier are coming as the burger king kids' club on thursday (we get halloween off, to start the debauchery early.) i'm going to be boomer, the tomboy street hockey player, and he's going to be kid vid, the technologically savvy leader of the gang with the magic remote. we were going to round up folks to play everyone, but we couldn't find anyone heartless enough to be wheels, the mechanical-expert-in-a-wheelchair of the gang....
