I finally managed to see Harry Potter, with Mark and Suzanne at the Mann Village. It was surprisingly good. The flick is not entirely kid oriented. I really liked the quidditch match — I still don’t know how it was filmed and probably never will. The Mann Village is equally impressive, with its balcony and cool designs on the inside of the theater. Not your typical place. Harry Potter was better than I expected, in short.
I know this review is a little late, but just for recap, we lost to our cross-town rivals 27-0. How embarassing. I really don’t even want to go over the plays of the game, since they will only depress me. All I can say is that USC did not play the real Bruins, and that next year, we’ll get revenge.
Dear Lord! I tried to go see the new flick with a couple of my friends on Dykstra 2, and I was amazed at the line outside the theater. It was similar to Star Wars: Episode I, although it wasn’t quite as long. Still, we got there an hour and a half early and the line was already massive. I didn’t want to see the movie that badly.
Tonight was the annual Beat ‘SC Bonfire, held below the Janss steps. It was pretty impressive, actually. I belive two or three TV crews were there, one being CBS 2. That’s the only one I can remember. I think ABC was there two, but I didn’t see their news van. Anyway, the night started off with a brief cheer from the cheerleaders followed by the Mighty Bruin, played by the band. Then Bob Toledo and the football got up and said a few words. Brian Poli-Dixon was the funniest, saying that this Saturday “will be crackin’.” They even hinted at allowing the fans to storm the field, although I’m sure it’s not up to the Bruin football team, since the game is away.
The actual fire wasn’t that big, since the school follows fire sanctions. However, it did burn quickly and was overall a sight to behold. I’m sure it will be on the 11:00 news, which I plan on watching. If you didn’t go this year, definitely mark your calendar next year; it is a very cool event that is easy to miss.
Last night I went to bed at 11:00, which is early, by college standards. I went to bed early because I had a midterm the next day, which is now today. Regretfully, I was pretty stressed over the midterm and I couldn’t sleep. I think I probably didn’t fall asleep for two hours. Then I fell asleep, but only shortly. I remember waking up and not being able to go back to sleep for another hour period. It was awful. I ended up having to miss class because I was so tired this morning. Luckily, today is early enrollment day, so I’m sure attendance was not very high. I slept in until noon and am now feeling better. Hopefully I can ace my Calc midterm, which would relieve me greatly. I really need to focus on Chemistry, and getting Calc out of the way would take the load off my shoulders a little bit.
The following comes from uclalumni.net’s Beat ‘SC web page:
What do USC and UCLA students have in common? They both got in to USC.

A Trojan grad and a Bruin grad were on death row. The warden came to them to ask them if they had any last requests. The Trojan said, “I’d just like to hear ‘Conquest’ one last time.” When the warden asked the Bruin what his last request was, he replied, “kill me first.”

A first grade teacher tells her class that she is an ‘SC fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are ‘SC fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.
The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?”
“Because I’m not an ‘SC fan,” she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Then who are you a fan of?”
“I am a UCLA fan, and proud of it,” Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, why pray tell are you a UCLA fan?”
“Because my mom is a UCLA fan, and my dad is a UCLA fan, so I’m a UCLA fan too!”
“Well,” said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, “that is no reason for you to be a UCLA fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom was a moron and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?”
“Then,” Janie smiled, “I’d be an ‘SC fan.”

Graduation had finally come to the USC campus. The sun was shining, and families and friends flooded Alumni Park for the ceremonies. The soon-to-be graduates were feeling good about themselves. They had survived four tough academic years as Trojans, and they were ready to conquer the world.
As the ceremony began, President Steven Sample took the microphone, “A few minutes ago, as the faculty and I were assembling outside Bovard Administration Building, we came to the conclusion that it would be an embarrassment to send you students out into the real world without knowing that you learned at least one thing at USC. So unless your valedictorian can answer the following question, you will all need to stay at USC another year.”
The students fell silent as the valedictorian, slowly stood up and approached President Sample. “The question is, What is 2 + 2?” You could hear a pin drop as the valedictorian timidly answered, “4?”
The students began to whisper, inaudibly to one another; until finally, the whispers grew into a chant:
“Give him another chance! Give him another chance!…”
A Trojan fan and a Bruin fan were fighting over a lantern when suddenly a genie appeared. The genie said, “If you two will stop fighting, I will give each of you one wish.” The genie turned to the Trojan and asked, “What is your wish?”
The Trojan thought for a moment and then said, “I want a huge wall, 150 feet tall all the way around USC to protect our heritage. Make it so no one can get in or out, especially any of those Bruins!” The genie blinked his eyes, nodded his head and the Trojan’s wish came true.
Turning to the Bruin, the genie asked, “Now what is your wish?” With a huge ear-to-ear grin on his face, the Bruin replied, “Fill it with water.”
Did you hear the library at USC burned down?
They lost both books, and one hadn’t even been colored in yet.
Did you hear the story about the semi truck carrying pigs that flipped over on the USC campus?
The officials had to check ID’s before letting anyone back on board.
A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and asks, “Wanna hear a USC joke?” The guy next to him replies, “Well, before you tell that joke, you should know something. I’m 6′ tall, 200 lbs., and I’m a USC graduate. The guy sitting next to me is 6′2″, weighs 225, and he’s a USC graduate. The fella next to him is 6′5″ tall, weighs 250, and he’s a USC graduate. Now, you still wanna tell that joke?”
The first guy replies: “Naw, not if I’m gonna have to explain it three times.”
Members of the USC football team were placed in a remedial English class. “Because we are all new on campus we are going to start with the basics,” the professor explained. “Does anyone know what comes after a sentence?” All of the players raised their hands. “The appeal!” they all shouted with pride.
A woman was walking through her new house with the contractor. As they walked through rooms, she told him what color she wanted him to paint each room. In the bedroom she said, “I think this would be nice in a cream.” The contractor stuck his head out of the window and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!” This perplexed the woman. They moved to the living room and she said, “I would love rose in this area.” Again the contractor strolled over to the window and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!” Again the woman was confused but did not say anything. As they walked into the kitchen she proudly announced that she wanted this room to be “a glorious shade of mauve.” Once again the contractor went to the window and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!” Finally she could not stand this anymore. “What are you shouting GREEN SIDE UP out of every window of this house?” He replied, “I’m sorry. I have a crew of USC students laying sod across the street.”
Q: What are the best four years of a Trojan’s life? A: Third grade.
Q: How long does it take a USC football player to run the 40-yard dash? A: I don’t know. After the sixth yard they get tired of climbing over the fences.
Q: What’s the difference between a USC cheerleader and a bag of trash? A: The trash gets taken out more often!
Q. Why did the USC Trojans get excited when they finished a jig-saw puzzle in six months? A: Because the box said “4 – 6 Years”
Q: How come the USC football team doesn’t have a Web site? A: They can’t string three “W’s” together.
Q: Why should the USC football team change its name to the “Opossums”? A: Because they play dead at home, and get killed on the road.
Q: How many USC freshmen does it take to change a light bulb? A: None–it’s a second year course.
Q: What does a Trojan and a bottle of beer have in common? A: They’re both empty from the neck up.
Q: Why doesn’t USC have ice on the sidelines? A: The guy with the recipe graduated.
Q: What do you get when you drive slowly by the USC campus? A: A degree.
Q: What’s the difference between a litter of puppies and USC fans? A: Eventually puppies grow up and stop whining.
Q: What does the average USC player get on his SAT’s? A: Drool.
Q: What do you call a person from USC in a three-piece suit? A: The defendant
Q: How do you get a USC graduate off your porch? A: Pay him for the pizza.
Q: Why do USC students put their report cards in their car windows? A: So they can get the handicap spot.
First off, let me say that this game was a major let down. Man, losing by 1 (21-20) can never be taken well. If you really want a recap of the game, I suggest visiting uclabruins.com because I really don’t feel like writing one. Too depressing.
I just got this message delivered to my school account:
(it’s informative and gives a sense of the history of the rivalry between USC and UCLA)

Well, although it’s not really the week before the USC game, the festivities have already begun. The bear is hibernating for one. What this means is the bronze bear across from Ackerman is under a blue and gold box…hibernating. Also, the recruiters for the blood drive are swarming Bruin Walk.
I’m disappointed that DeShawn Foster decided to take gifts from donors although he “didn’t know it was wrong.” Now USC has a chance at beating us. However, Foster is only supposed to miss one game, the one this weekend against Oregon. Let’s hope.
Football practice at Howard Jones Field on the campus of the University of Southern California was delayed for nearly two hours on Monday afternoon when several players from the Trojan offense happened to notice an unidentified, white powdery substance on the field. Head coach Pete Carroll immediately suspended practice while the FBI was called in to investigate.
After a thorough field analysis, experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. Practice was allowed to resume when FBI Special Agents decided that the team would not likely encounter the substance again…
Man, you think living in the dorms at UCLA is bad? Try Stanford! I was talking with one of my friends, Sung, that lives there, and this is a story he told me:
Transcript (11/05/2001)
Sungjinee83: you guys should’ve seen my roommate…
webspiffy: what about yer roomie?
webspiffy: lemme guess…he’s like pappy*
Sungjinee83: so there’s this bottle of liquid on his desk for couple weeks.. I figure it’s beer or something… later he’s like… Oh I forgot to clean it.. turns out it’s his piss
webspiffy: omg
webspiffy: um ew
Sungjinee83: exactly
webspiffy: that’s really nasty
Sungjinee83: anyways, sometimes my roommate does things like that that’s just crazy
webspiffy: yes
Sungjinee83: so be glad you didn’t get him*pappy = my friend at Boston University
That settles it. Hands down, I’ll take my room. God, that’s a beverage that just doesn’t go down smooth.
LucasFilm just released a new trailer for Episode II: Attack of the Clones entitled “Breathing” for Episode II with new movie footage and great shots of Natalie Portman. Ah she is so beautiful. The movie looks way better than Episode I, although Anakin looks like a total fairy. Didn’t see Jar Jar in the trailer but I know he’s there somewhere. Beware. The rendered shots look great and I recommend you check it out.
Finally the streak has stopped. Yeah yeah yeah it would have been great for New York to have a title to boost their spirits. So cheer for the Knicks. I’m so tired of the Yankees. They are simply a money team. Buy the supposedly best players and the team should win, right? That’s not baseball; that’s a corporation. Well, the monopoly just lost the anti-trust suit. Although I’m not a Diamondbacks fan, they are the lesser of two evils. So I tip my hat and hope that Schilling is named MVP.
As you probably know, the Bruins lost to Washington State on Saturday. It was awful. We were down by three, with a chance to win the game, and Cory Paus threw yet another interception. I think he threw about 5 during the game. Well, you play like that and you don’t deserve a championship.
Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain from the Smashing Pumpkins have formed a new band called the True Poets of Zwan. They are playing their first shows in L.A., on four dates. I really want to go the show at the Roxy on November 21, but tickets sold out. I was really pissed because on their web site, it says tickets for that show went on sale November 2nd. They didn’t. Instead, they were sold the 1st, and I had no chance at getting them.
Who knows, though. I might be able to find somebody in the area that actually has tickets. I talked with a guy on IRC and he said he has some extras. The plus is that he is a student at UCLA too. Hmmm…..this might work out. Nevertheless, I need a ride from my friend Ryen, or I have to cab it. I don’t really want to cab it because it is the day before Thanksgiving, and I would have to change my flight info, etc. Driving up to Marin would be a much more viable alternative.
Well, I had been to Knott’s Berry Farm, but never the Scary Farm. Every October, Knotts transforms its park into a goulish realm, complete with fog machines, elaborate mazes, and live shows. All of my friends who had gone liked it, and when I had an opportunity to go, I jumped on it. Our floor PA, Jasmine, organized a floor event which actually ended up being a hall event. She planned on having Dykstra 2 alone go to Knotts, but we ended up having all of Dykstra. So off we went on a yellow school bus, with 80 kids yelling at once playing annoying bus games. Ah it was like elementary school.
However, it was a little fun for me being on the bus, riding on the familiar 91 and 405 freeways, almost like it was a trip back into the past. For those of you that don’t know, I used to live in Orange County before I moved up north to Marin. I actually didn’t mind the ride that much.
When we got there, I noticed that the Chicken Dinner Restaurant (yes, that’s the name) was offering a midnight buffet. I had a little desire to go there and experience their delicious fried chicken once again, but in the end I missed out.
The first thing I saw in the park was the live show, which spoofed horror movies and current stars. I thought it was pretty entertaining to see the cast of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon get mauled by Jason. Even the band girl from American Pie couldn’t hold her own.
After the live show, we hit our first maze of the night. Man was it, and all of them, impressive. The first maze was a tribute to Hollywood horror flicks, with the Cryptkeeper presiding over the lobby of a movie theater (actually a converted food stand). I thought he was a robot. Actually, he was real. Inside, Mark and I were assaulted by numerous movie villains, from Jason to Chuckie. Mark got a couple of good scares. One time, his attention was diverted by a villain whose name I cannot recall. After that, he turned around, only to be face to face with the blade of the killer from Scream. It was great. He yelped. A couple of the other guys got me pretty well, but not as bad as Mark got it. I was amazed at how massive the mazes were. You spent 15 minutes in each one.
Knotts was pretty crowded for the park at night, and when I went on the first ride, Ghostrider, I ended up waiting in line over an hour. My friend Mark, who I hung around with at the park, got impatient as well. However, I remembered that Ghostrider was a good wooden coaster, and it still was. The first drop is still very steep as is the last one. You get thrown around on the last curves of the ride like crazy, and it was very fun.
After Ghostrider, I believe I went on Jaguar, which is fun but not as good as it used to be. Of course, Knotts slowed down Jaguar when it made too much noise. When the ride was actually fast, it could be heard across the park. Now, it’s a kiddie ride. However, after Jaguar, Mark and I went on Montezooma’s [sic] Revenge, the simple single loop coaster complimented by two ends of track that stick hundreds of feet into the air. For you physics nerds, Montezooma’s Revenge is actually the most intense ride in the park. In the loop, depending on where you sit, you can feel up to 6 G’s of force. That’s pretty damn good, I think. I ended up going on it twice, once in the middle and once in the back. In the middle you feel the most force in the loop. However, the back is more fun because you go much higher on the last peak of the ride, where you are forced to look straight down. It’s a rush.
After those two, we went to the Underground maze, which was short but impressive. It was very loud, with heavy metal music. All of the guys in costume looked like people at a TOOL concert. I like the revolving cylinder they had there, which was a bit hyponotic. You had to walk through it. At one point, the maze was completely black, and I got stuck. After about a minute or two, I realized that I had to go left…d’oh!
Next came Boomerang. Of course, Mark and I had to sit in the back. If you’ve never been on Boomerang before, the beginning is the scariest part of the ride. They crank you all the way up the track into the air, a couple of hundred feet high. Then they drop you. You go screaming into a corkscrew loop then a couple of circular loops. After that, you hit the track that rises into the air and go through the whole thing again backwards. It’s a great ride.
After Boomerang, I went on a ride with a nautical name (that I can’t remember). It is a green ride with marine designs that takes you into the air and spins you around while going through loops. Essentially you twist in a corkscrew while revolving in a circle. That ride is intense. At one point, the ride stops at the top of its loop then starts turning over and over. It’s really creepy. You are suspended about a hundred feet in the air and you are doing barrel rolls. At the end of the ride, it does the same thing, this time at the bottom of the loop. However, it stops while you are completely upside down. Man did my head get messed up.
At some point in time, we did go in Malice in Wonderland, which was totally awesome. It looked like the house in The Game, decked out in blacklights and glow-in-the-dark tempora paint. All of the Alice characters were there, including the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. It was massive, spanning at least ten rooms. I think it took us twenty minutes to get through it.
Finally, Mark and I went on Bigfoot Rapids (a water ride) at 12:30 PM. It was sweet. They turned off the waterfalls, thankfully, and we didn’t get too wet. I got splashed on my jacket a bit, but Mark got his pants all wet. On the ride back he kept complaining. D’oh!
I had a blast at Knotts and encourage everyone to go to it next year. I think the night I went was the last night, but it may run through tonight as well. Definitely go to it if you have a chance.
Sigh. That silly but lucky football team, Stanford, the team without a mascot, managed to surge past our mighty bruins into the 6th slot. We, however, were bumped all the way down to 9. Oh it is a day that will live in infamy!
Are you a fan of digital music? Of course you are. Well, the best play to experience new tunes is via IRC (Internet Relay Chat). You may be using Morpheus now, but trust me — if you know how to use IRC, Morpheus will never run on your computer again. I myself first started using IRC about a year ago, and the thing is addictive. While you can’t do searches and instantly find what you’re looking for (on most IRC servers), you can find albums you want while just sitting back and watching them scroll in front of you. This may sound strange now, but by the end of the guide, it will all make sense.
First, you need a client. I recommend mIRC. It’s easy to set up and easy to use. While some other clients, such as the Polaris modification of mIRC, offer more features, mIRC is the most popular, stable, and overall good. While mIRC is not freeware, you can use it for free. Occasionally your web browser will open to the mIRC web site if you don’t register. No big deal.
Now that you have the program, you need to configure it. Open mIRC then click File / Options.
Under the Connect menu, specify whatever you want in Full Name. Don’t actually use your full name. For example, use ucla bruins own you as your name. It’s just something that other IRC users can see. Under E-Mail Address, just enter your e-mail. Now it’s time to pick your nickname. I recommend making your nickname no longer than 9 characters, since some IRC servers will truncate your nick. Don’t use a really common name. Most likely, you won’t be able to log on under it. Just experiment. Be sure to pick a secondary nick name, which is used in case your primary nick name is already taken when you sign on. Not really a big deal.
Make sure reconnect on disconnection is disabled. Some servers really hate it if you use that and will ban you.
Leave the first two boxes alone. Where is says On connect, always get:, make sure that both Local Host and IP Address are enabled. Under Lookup Method, select Server.
Make sure both Enable Ident server and Enable only when connected are enabled.
Leave this submenu alone unless you use some funky firewall stuff. I can’t help you because I don’t use a hardware firewall.
When you first start using IRC, you don’t need to change any of the options under IRC. If you want to mess around with them, feel free.
Make sure Hide Ping/Pong is enabled. Under the closing mIRC box, just check whatever you think is important. Make sure that DCC transfers is selected.
Right now this box should be blank.
Make sure Enable Highlighting is disabled. I still don’t use it.
You can leave everything alone.
mIRC properly configures this.
This isn’t really that important. If you want to run stats, make sure Logging is enabled and that Strip codes is selected as well. Most people don’t run stats.
If you don’t want IRC to crash, use Flood Protection. However, it slows down the listing of files. I have it turned off.
I’m not a big fan of IRC sounds. Most of the time it just sounds like your computer is breaking. I recommend turning it off.
Just leave this the way it is.
If this is enabled, it really slows down your computer. Just keep it off.
Everything under this section comes configured correctly.
This section is super important. Be sure to read all of it. This explains how to transfer files correctly via IRC. Under DCC I suggest having the first option set to Show get dialog. Auto-accept can cause you to get viruses if you’re not careful. Under Auto-get and exists make sure Resume is selected.
For most people, this is already configured correctly.
This one is also really important. Normally mIRC saves your files to your IRC directory under download, which is typically c:\mIRC\download. If you configure default by clicking edit, you can decide where to save files. It’s kinda cool. Try messing with it. Under DCC Ignore, make sure it is set to Ignore all except. This way you won’t get viruses. Now, in the blank white box below it, make sure that the following file types exist: M3U, MP3, NFO, RAR, SFV, TAR, ZIP. To add a file type if it is not there, just simply type <filename>. For example: .mp3. That’s it. Turn ignore on should be set to 3 minutes and enabled.
Leave as configured by mIRC.
Make sure DCC Server is disabled. This way nobody can access your computer.
Now you have properly configured mIRC. If you want to play around with the colors, go ahead. It’s not crucial. Now you are set to download.
I strongly recommend connecting to EFNet if you are new to IRC. Just to File / Options again and under the Connect menu, select EFNet under IRC Servers. Just connect to any EFNet server that works. Try it out.
After that, you have to connect to a channel. To connect to a channel, simply type /j #channel. For example, /j #movies. Here are some of the channels I recommend for MP3 (get a pen): #albums, #apcfiles, #chrfiles, #egoxdcc, #ksifiles, #mp3hqdcc, #revfiles, and #twcmp3. Recently, many of these groups closed their download channels. If it says invite only, the channel is closed. So how do you download you ask? Simple.
You must communicate to a DCC bot. Most DCC bots can be identified by their name. For example, apc bots will have names like aPC|DCC00 and aPC|DCC01. REV likes to go by REV-DCC01 or REV-DCC35. It’s really simple to identify them. Most DCC bots have a little + next to their name. This + means that they are voiced and can broadcast to the channel.
So how do you talk to a bot? Well, you use the /msg command. Simply type /msg <bot name> xdcc send #<pack number>. Confusing? Here’s an example: /msg apc|dcc00 xdcc send #1. Well how do you know what pack to download? Also simple. Simply view the contents of the bot using XDCC list. Here’s how you do it: /msg <bot name> xdcc list. Example: /msg apc|dcc0 xdcc list. It’s really easy.
Just experiment a little bit and you’ll get the hang of it. If you’re having trouble, send me an e-mail. I don’t like to give my IRC nick out publicly.
Enjoy the guide and happy downloading.
Well this year I can’t even have fun on good ol’ October 31st thanks to a midterm. Yes I have a history midterm bright and early at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Oh joy oh rapture. So while you’re out stealing candy from senior citizens, please keep me in your thoughts. Back to the books…
Be glad you weren’t there.
For Bruins who sat at home or in their dorms watching the fateful game against the Stanford Tree…the loss wasn’t nearly as painful as watching it from several yards away.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, the Bruins took on Stanford “we still don’t know what our mascot is or what our stadium is called” University’s football team on Saturday, 10/27. What ensued was a bloodbath, with blue and gold spilling onto the field instead of red. The Stanford offense simply blew by our defense, bringing back memories of the Bruin defense from the past few years. I don’t think I saw any of the Bruin defense sack the quarterback…or even get anywhere close to him. And when the Bruins had the ball…uh…wait, we had the ball? Needless to say, our time of possession amounted to less than half of the game. Very few completions, lots of incompletes, and believe it or not, several interceptions, which Stanford took absolute advantage of, taking off with the ball. DeShaun Foster, our main man, did not play at his best, rushing straight into the melee at times for some unknown reason. At one point in the game, we were within three points of matching Stanford, and it looked like we could take over the lead. But no, a Hail Mary pass into the end zone gave Stanford the ball, and they ended up with a touchdown. Final score: 38-28, Stanford.
Be glad you weren’t there.
