Why I'm happy: I booked a hotel from hotwire.com; it was one of those "can't show you the hotel's name but you'll love it" type of thing. I just saw that it was a suite, offers complimentary breakfast and wifi, and it's only $61/night (it was $59/night when I checked a day earlier). It says that it's a 3-star hotel and that 85% of hotwire customers recommends it. So I wasn't expecting too much, but when I got here, I thought, 'well the hotel looks kinda nice from outside.' The lobby didn't look too great; it seems old. The receptionist wasn't too friendly either, but we checked in at 9 p.m. and I was tired so I didn't care. But then I went up to the room. And it's huge. It's a two bedroom suite! It has a nice sitting area and a fully equipped kitchen. I'm only staying for 3 days (or longer if I still can't move in to my apartment -.- ) but I have to say, this is pretty damn awesome! Such a great deal!
Why I'm nervous: tomorrow is the first day of work! And I just realized that I know freaking nothing about work! I don't know what I should wear, I don't know what I should bring, I don't even know what time I'm supposed to get there! I'm assuming 9 a.m.? Do I bring my laptop? What does business casual mean? Maybe this is a little to late to start thinking about all this but ARGH!!!! What the fuck should I do?!

Good job, New York!
They've finally legalized gay marriage! Pretty historic event. Happened yesterday, just a couple hours after I've left the city. So I'm assuming the voting process was happening when I was walking around Manhattan.

My last summer vacation (possibly) ever
So we finally got back from our trip to California last night. It was great, spending time with my family again. I don't know what's different but when my dad left to go back home a day before we had to leave LA, I missed him way much more than I usually do. I guess I felt like I won't be able to see him – or any of them after they've left – for some time now that I have to start working soon and get practically no breaks. This is the first summer I've spent here. I don't really know when I'd be able to go back home. Hopefully by next Christmas. I haven't spent Christmas with my family since freshman year and I really miss it.
Back to the trip itself...
Our main reason for going there was for Koko's graduation (I actually graduated about a month before my older brother's :\ ). It rained during my graduation. It wasn't too bad; it didn't rain for long, but it rained. This time, for Koko's it was sunny and incredibly hot! We were sweating even before it started! It was good. It was short. A lot shorter than Rutgers'. They didn't even have a speaker! A lot of his friends showed up so it was nice. Took lots and lots of pictures then went out for dinner, inviting his friends. Only 4 (including his girlfriend) could come and I know two of them because they went to my high school, Andrew and Michelle.
The rest of the trip was pretty nice, too. Went to Disneyland, then took a trip up north to Pebble Beach, Monterey, and the surrounding areas.
Now I'm back and summer break is basically over on the first day of summer. I have to take care of moving to the apartment, obtaining SSN, all that other stuff... (my car's plate and registration is not here yet!)
I'm gonna start working on Monday and I'm definitely not ready for that chapter of my life. Everything's changing, it feels like. I don't know what I'm supposed to do to prepare for it. I'm scared, that's for sure. From now on it's just me on my own. Let's just hope I'm doing this right...

Nice interview with Neil
The interview is here.

So no Dr. Horrible?I hated it when the writers' strike happened because all the TV shows were cut short, but if that's what it takes to get a Dr. Horrible sequel, I really wouldn't mind a TV season get cut!
Joss [Whedon] is doing the Avengers movie and he’s going to be in that world for another half a year, and by that time we’re all back on our shows. Hopefully, it’ll come together some day. Pray for another writers’ strike.

WWDC 2011
So, every year, all Apple fans (and other tech enthusiasts) like me would sit and wait and listen to Apple and see what they've done this past year. WWDC happened earlier today and I have to say I was quite excited about it. I'm currently watching the video that's available here. Big cheers for Mr. Steve Jobs who was the first to take the stage. (Please don't ever leave us, Mr. Jobs! Gosh, he's lost A LOT of weight.)
Today they talked about OSX Lion, iOS 5, and iCloud.
