It was great last night to go out for Lil­lian L’s birth­day and to see her, Stacey F, Becca Y, Miyama I, Chris T, Tina K, Michael B, Linda C, Andrew M, and Thu H. Plus their friends. Peggy S, I’m sorry you couldn’t make it and hope that you and your car are OK.

Dur­ing the bar golf game, the chit-chat some­how hit the topic of Miss APhiO, and the fact that Chris T was a con­tes­tant. Appar­ently Tina K did not know this about him. We some­how got into desrib­ing his wardrobe, and some­one asked him, “So how did you like the heels?”

“They were great. They made my thighs…“
– Chris T, mak­ing some up-and-down hand ges­tures.
“Elon­gated?“
– Some­one, try­ing to be help­ful.
“Yeah, they made my thighs elon­gated, like cel­ery.“
– Chris T.

I’m pretty sure I did not mis­hear that, because I turned to Becca Y, the other sober per­son, to con­firm. Can any girls, or other Miss APhiO con­tes­tants, or peo­ple who know Chris T explain that com­par­i­son to me, please?

Hmm… yes­ter­day…

Woke up and worked on the web­site. Basi­cally mak­ing the “new peo­ple” page so some­one can safely help the web­mas­ters add peo­ple to the data­base. But it’s not ready yet because I can’t get it to cor­rectly check for dupli­cates before inser­tion. Guess we’ll be han­dling it our­selves for a lit­tle while longer.

Oh, and Erik has to make a “merge peo­ple” page, because I’ve acci­den­tally done many dou­ble entries on old folks. (As you can see with the “Remove” peo­ple in the fam­ily line viewer.) Merg­ing will be incred­i­bly com­pli­cated. Here’s a crash (no pun intended) course for the non-CS folks:

To remove some­one safely from the data­base, we would have to search through it for every sin­gle time they are ref­er­enced some­where else in the data­base. This might be by name, ID num­ber, or some­thing else. Then we have to make sure every sin­gle ref­er­ence points to a cor­rect entry that’s not about to be deleted. You see, if we were to sim­ply go in and delete some­one from the data­base, and not fix all ref­er­ences first, they will either point to the wrong per­son or to dig­i­tal garbage. And when some­one tries to look up or use that infor­ma­tion… bad things will hap­pen to the website.

Got invited to Fuji’s, but I was being veg­e­tar­ian for the day. For those of you who didn’t know, I was sup­posed to be veg­e­tar­ian on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day, because it was Buddha’s birth­day on Sunday.

I’m a bad Bud­dhist because I’m sup­posed to (well, the way my par­ents do it… there’s many dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions) be veg­e­tar­ian for the day before and of every full moon. The full moon on the fourth month of the lunar cal­en­dar is Buddha’s birth­day, and the most impor­tant one of the year.

But any­ways, yeah, I was sup­posed to be veg­e­tar­ian on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day, but I slipped on Sun­day. Went to FuBQ as soon as I woke up, and had half a burger before I remem­bered. That was the more impor­tant of the two days, too. So yeah, I was veg­e­tar­ian again yes­ter­day to make up for it.

After I did as much as I could with the web­site, had cereal for lunch and just chat­ted and forum whored for a while. Quote comes from the con­ver­sa­tion I had with Sheena -

If you don’t get it… I killed her in Assas­sins after she bid on my mom­mies. I’m sup­posed to kill Eddie C, too, but he bid from beyond the grave.

Then it was time for ExComm. Except I missed the bus, so I only got to see the sec­ond half of ExComm. It was odd. It was out on the quad, and every­one was idling play­ing with their Assas­sins weapons. Miyama is like a walk­ing bill­board for Chris’s weapons store, too. His weapons are amaz­ingly good-looking and functional.

Then time for the meet­ing itself. Things went fast. Basi­cally a bunch of “thanks for a great term.” And then LFS and DSKs. LFS was straight­for­ward. DSKs, though… I wanted to vote for every­one who was up. All the speeches were great. Good job to every­one who stuck around for all of them, espe­cially new actives. DSKs are the high­est award our chap­ter can give some­one, and it’s great that you care enough to stick around and see the cal­i­bre of peo­ple who earn them. Actu­ally, it’s more amaz­ing to see the peo­ple who have done so much and haven’t got­ten one.

After the meet­ing, MNR was at 7–11. But some of us wanted real food, so Joe M, Bran­don, Emily, Ian, Aaron L, Elyson, and I went to Woodstock’s. Had a great veg­e­tar­ian pizza with Aaron L, who can’t have many of the meats found on pizza anyway.

Then Bran­don took me home and I was online for a while doing ran­dom stuff. Watched a really cool episode of Top Gear (by far the best car show ever!) with Eddie C, and then passed out.
