I never knew this video would be so viral, but I guess I'll spread it around since it's so awesome. 2 days ago, when my friend showed it to me, it was at 60k views. NOW IT'S AT 386k views!!! Crazy. I'm spreading the love:
Not gonna lie. I miss home and I can't wait to be back. Christmas music makes me miss the past also. I feel like I haven't had Christmas in 2 years, which is kind of true because last Christmas was spent backpacking around Japan. HOME!! within reach, yet I still have 3 more finals. I guess I'm just tired of LA for now.
And I don't know why this song particular video is getting to me. No, I haven't seen that korean drama where they seem to got this song famous to the population. He plays with so much skill that it makes me want to practice my guitar. No time!
Hahaha, so my lab group had to do a presentation for our project in which we made a foosball table with the theme of Pokemon. We had restrictions and requirements to our project. We were given a 12"x12"x1/8" aluminum, 3"x3"x1" wax, and 9 cubic inches of ceramic.
We used the water jet to cut the aluminum. We used the CNC Mill to cut the wax. And the Z-Printer for ceramic. Z-Printer is the coolest because it can make complicated structures, but then it's also the boring because it's the slowest. But yeah here's the CAD design of what we aimed for:
And we made it portable, so that you can pack it to go!
Here's the result right before we completely finished it:
I thought it looks ugly with the stickers on because I like it plain and simple, but it came out like this:
Packin' it up!
AND TAKE IT TO GO!
So we also did an introduction video to our presentation, and it's pretty interesting, I must say. Here's PART of what we did to our video part of our presentation. Hahaha.
I don't really get homework... so I'm on Xanga. Cool way to delay my effort. Just 2 more days of class and finally the finals week. 9 days until my last final, so that means I need to start studying. Too hard! I should have tried to do homework earlier and went to office hour today, but now it's too late. But I still have two days to do this homework. My last homework of the quarter! After this, it's all study. Stud.
Winter break is going to great. Meteor shower on the night of the 13th, Las Vegas trip from the 16th to the 20th, San Diego for Anna's birthday from the 21st to the 23rd! And then finally some Christmas time in Torrance! I wasn't home for Christmas last year because I was in Japan. I totally remember thinking about how it was for Christmas that day in Japan, but it didn't really feel like Christmas. Pretty sad, but now I will be home for Christmas.
I think Vince Guaraldi writes the best Jazz music. It's very relaxing and good music to listen to while working. He's also the composer for Peanuts' theme song and other music in the show. You guys should all give him a try! I just discovered that a compilation of his work was released in October. 30-ish tracks in 2 CDs, and it's a must have for me. I am willing to buy the album, but just not yet since I don't have the time and money.
Here is my favorite song I have by him! It's a Christmas feeling whenever I listen to it:
