My wall is not only a single shade of disgusting dark brown, but two shades of disgusting dark brown!I don’t know how that discovery is revolutionary.But it’s still interesting. This post is over 16 years old and may contain information that is incorrect, outdated, or no longer relevant.

I was doing a bit of experimentation with Photoshop earlier today, and it involved taking a few pictures. I accidentally took this picture of the corner of my room, then made a revolutionary discovery.My wall is not only a single shade of disgusting dark brown, but two shades of disgusting dark brown!I don’t know how that discovery is revolutionary.But it’s still interesting.

This is the no laptop area of the Law Library. I came here because I didn’t have my laptop with me anyway, and there’s a lot less people here compared to the place where laptops are permitted.
And finally, this is the extra floor lamp that my parents brought for me when they came to visit a few days ago. As most of you know, my walls are dark brown so the wall light provided with the room isn’t bright enough because the color of the paint absorbs the light. Apparently, a majority of the shade on the floor lamp broke on the trip here, so I just took the whole thing off.
The next picture is also a request by someone who was interested in seeing what I eat on a random day. I ate this at around 3 PM on a day that I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch. To get an idea of how much that is, that plate has a diameter of about 10 inches. I finished all that in one sitting, but I don’t always eat this much every meal; I prefer to eat a little bit all day.
This is a picture of my calculus textbook. I originally took it to submit as a customer image for 
If you watched my video from August 28, you’ll know that the people that come to my apartment are horrible parkers. The next two pictures were awesome examples, so I decided to share them.This picture shows an online food delivery company parked sideways across about four or five parking spots:
And in this one, it’s almost like those three sideways-parked cars planned this whole thing out:
Back on topic. In City of Glass, the main character, Clary, continues her journey to try and break the spell cast on her mother that put her into a deep state of unconsciousness. Along the process, Clary tries to solve her other problems, including the relationship issues she has with her friends and family, the dangers brought to her and the people around her by demonic forces, and the restrictions placed on her due to her young age and inexperience. By the end of the book, we learn something revolutionary about another main character, Jace, and we find out if Valentine in fact succeeds in taking over the Shadowhunters.City of Glass was originally intended to be the last installment in the Mortal Instruments series, but the author decided to add three more books to the series due to its massive popularity. Back when I read the first book, City of Bones, I said that it wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be, but for some unexplainable reason, still made me want to keep reading; at the end of the first book, I liked it. The same situation slightly continued during the second book, but it got better and better, and by the third book, it had secured my interest. I still don’t know why I feel so attracted to this series, and still cannot explain lucidly why I like this book so much. From its literal value, it seems like an average book, but it has something mysterious about it that makes it far superior than many other books I’ve read.Like the other books in this series, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in fantasy themes, and recommend it to just about anyone that wants to read an enigmatically good book. Like all other series, I suggest that if you decide to read this book, you should start with the first book in the series so you understand the background of all the characters; the third book makes references to things that happened in the first and second books that are necessary to fully understand what is happening. 
… then checking back in ten minutes and noticing that the text was changed to:
So apparently there was a unanimous decision by the jury that the former governor is guilty of supplying false declarations to an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, but was no final decision made for the other 23 counts that he was tried for. What I’m WatchingEarlier today, I watched Knocked Up, a movie featuring Seth Rogen and Katherine Hiegl.Knocked Up is about a man named Ben Stone who lives in an apartment with four of his male friends. He doesn’t have a job, and aspires to be successful via a website he and his friends are creating called Flesh of the Stars. One evening, he goes to a club where he meets Allison Scott, a reporter for the E! channel. They go home together, have a one night stand, and think that everything is going to be fine…… until Allison discovers that she is pregnant with Ben’s baby. From that point on, mass chaos breaks out as Allison and Ben’s personalities clash, and the unstable relationship of Allison’s older sister makes the situation worse.I thought this was a pretty good movie. The relationships between the characters are well developed. The plot has a comical twist to it that takes an emergency-level situation and makes it funny while still having the characters act sincerely towards the problem. What I’m ReadingAfter reading and being intrigued by Malcolm Gladwell’s books Blink and The Tipping Point, I went on to read Outliers.
Outliers is a book about the special people in the world – the people that are different enough to be noticed as different when placed in a regular societal setting. These people have gifts and advantages starting from birth that define who they are and how much they will succeed later on in their lives. The main concept of this book is that the fortunate opportunities that affect these people are what makes them so special, not the individual effort they put into their work. Although effort and determination is important, luck is the catalyst for success.Gladwell goes on and gives examples of how this is true, like the explanation behind why people born in the last quarter of the calendar year should not even bother trying out for professional hockey. He also follows the story of the lives of famous people like Bill Gates, who, due to a bit of luck, was able to fall under the 10,000-Hour Rule for programming and become the successful founder of Microsoft.Like all of Gladwell’s other books, I recommend this book to everybody, as it gives insight on a facet of life that not many people realize is important. The ideas of this book may explain to some people why they are unsuccessful, and how they could change they way they live to place themselves in the path of luck. The time invested in reading this book could result in massive benefits in the future.
