Interests: No real hobbies at this point. I enjoy watching movies, reading, listening to music (primarily hip-hop), and struggling to learn to play the guitar. Stairway to Heaven, here I come!
Expertise: I'm currently a graduate student at UC Berkely in Electrical Engineering. I intend to pursue a PhD in the area of speech recognition. If my work is successful, machines may one day be able to understand humans. And from that point on, their subsequent revolt and enslavement of humanity is pretty much a foregone conclusion.

| Capoeira class again tomorrow. Just what the blisters on my feet
need...more aggravation. I better be able to kick some ass at the end
of this, or there'll be hell to pay.

So Sunday was my birthday. Woo woo! A whopping 24 years under my belt. I'm still not feeling any older, but isn't that generally the case? On Saturday night I went out with some friends to a concert (Dead Prez) and then out to SF to a club. We were trying to go to an afterhours club after 2am (most stuff shuts down then. I still don't get why), but at the door we were warned it was lesbian night. Now as hot as that may seem in one's mind, I often find that the lesbian of the mind and the lesbian of the street bear very little similarity, so I opted out. I did randomly run into a Princeton guy from the class of '03 that I knew that had been visiting SF for a week while waiting in the line. Our world. So small.
Jogo de Corpo
I had my first Capoeira class today. It kicked my ass big time. I'm pretty sure I have blisters on my toes from spinning around on them for an hour and a half. Incidentally, if you should happen to sign up for a "beginners" class of anything, be very wary. Of the 25 or so people there, I'd say 4 of us were actually newbies. They just throw you into the mix and you try your best to keep up. I first got suspicious when the student instructor said I was brave for having signed up for the series of classes rather than just for a single class as a shopper. Ooh the soreness. I hope I can survive Thursday's ordeal. | | |

| Time spent at home in Florida was great. Just about the nicest weather for this time of year that I've ever experienced. It was in the 70's most days. Winter, ha! I laugh at thee! Of course my return to the Bay Area was marked by cold and rain. When does the rainy season end again? I'll be counting down the days.
I'm studying for my prelim these days. The exam is next Friday. Let's hope things go better for me this time. *sigh* | | |
| Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.... | | |
