My tagboard is full of freaks. Just thought I'd get that off my chest. Yall are very amusing though, so keep up the entertainment. Some responses:

Peixin: I do think acts can be objectively wrong. But as I argued in premise 1, I think an act cannot be objectively wrong unless the person involved can do otherwise. Perhaps you have a counter-example to offer?

Cherry: Don't sell yourself short. I've read your MI paper, remember?

Rayshio: I think we should not stereotype badly, but still would. I think we should keep stereotyping well. E.g, if you've encountered French people on 800 different occasions and they've all been axe murderers, I think you should prepare to run from the next one you see.

Kirby: Pika!

Keen: My implicit assumption was that if something is not wrong, then it is not the case that one should not do it. That is, ~~R(x) -->~~D(x). Where ~ is not, R is (right), X is the action under scrutiny, D is (one should do).

Sarah : is a pokemon. Sarahmon, I choose you! *throws pokeball on ground*

Terence: Iceman is awesome. Nightcrawler pwns. Cyclops' Leadership + Flawless Tactics make my happiness glands go whee.

blackie: What? Who said something?


Okay, now that aside, the past two days have been rather eventful. Lanning with the guys, which involved me rediscovering the awesome might of a shotgun in close quarters, was amusing, because it reminded me of the time I represented the state in CS tournaments, quite a while ago. After a brief stop at Cold Storage (CS too! w00t), we had dinner at Jem's, which involved vast amounts of pizza (Ernest: "I've never seen this much pizza in my life!"), noodles, wings and onion rings (Ernest again: "NooooOOOOooo!"). Then, some of the guys watched soccer, while the cool ones played mucho XMen, Marvel vs Streetfighter, some Mortal Kombat, and some Winning Eleven.

I kicked butt. Mucho butt was kicked, by me. Yes. Fatalities didn't work so well in MK4, and I learnt some new game, which is more or less than Archon Ultra. I loved it...speaking of which, I should go see if it's on some emulator.

Memorable moments of the rest of the stayover:
1) Playing a 9 point game with Ernest, who gives up after losing 4, then having Weiliang win 5 in a row. But I maintain it's only because I let him.
2) Jeremy going into fits from losing a match in Xmen. I was just about ready to perform a frontal lobotomy.
3) Colin walking around the house with "I heart Tira" drawn in marker on his forehead. The joys of writing on people's faces while they're asleep. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
4) Ernest being thrown bodily in between Daniel and I, and then quickly being removed by Jeremy when his lack of personal hygiene was revealed.
5) Jiayi capturing pictures of Colin being jumped in bed and humped by Ernest and I.
6) Daniel and Jiayi and their 24-point card games. Squaring should be a legitimate operation.
7) Jeremy losing a bet and having to make out with Suzanne Tan. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
8) Zhirong tonguing everyone.
9) Climbing the RJ gate, and walking around the place after an 8 year absence. Remembering the places where we used to do banners, have lunch, fence, wait for class. Nostalgia hits hard.
10) Talking to Jem's mom, watching her believe Ernest is a muslim-jew-african.
11) Giggling everytime I look at the lamp in Jem's living room, and am reminded of the worst mutant power ever.

And then, a long bus ride home, fortunately with good company. And then I get home to realize my computer has gone KAPUT. Apparently, that's the sound it made as it gasped its last. Yeah, I was surprised too. So, after realizing that the modem, the USB ports (all 6 of them) and the graphics card were all down, I got my friendly neighborhood computer repairman to get me a new graphics card and send it to my place. Now, the long road to recovering the rest of my computer continues. On the bright side, I have a new Geforce 6600GT. Wheeness.

Oh, and I stumbled upon an old journal of mine, from back in ACPS Primary 6, when I was in love with my English teacher. I was such a dork back then, it's hilarious. Who am I kidding, I still am. Sigh.

Tonight, I'm gonna cook a whole kilogram of beeftail I got the other day, as a sort of Father's Day thing, for my dad. I'm excited, and looking forward to it.

Yargh. I woke up this morning needing to move around and do stuff, but I know the pool, the gym, the track will all be crowded on a Sunday. I really need to fence again.
