Wow, I didn't realize it, but there are a LOT of various coding problems with this page. I'll have to fix those huh?

Well, I somewhat regret it... but http://www.waloo.org is back, but through namezero... I'm ashamed. At least it works. Whatever, and there's no stupid little adbar anymore.

"NEW YORK -- A man inhaled a record 50 hot dogs in just 12 minutes Wednesday to destroy his stunned competition in the annual Nathan's frankfurter eating contest.

Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, in his first-ever attempt at the contest, left competitors with their jaws agape as he knocked back more than four dozen franks with obvious relish.

The 5-foot-7, 131-pound Kobayashi surpassed the old record of 25 in just 5 minutes, 13 seconds. Kobayashi didn't stop until he had doubled that number, complete with the buns.

Eyewitnesses said it was by far the most amazing performance since the annual Fourth of July contest began in 1916.

"I have never seen anything like this before," said Tom Maher, a spokesman for the Nathan's-sponsored International Federation of Competitive Eating. "He has truly redefined the sport."

Kobayashi, 23, employed a technique dubbed "the Solomon method" -- snapping the hot dogs in half, then shoving both pieces into his mouth. By the end of the 12-minute event, the rest of the 19-member field had stopped eating to watch Kobayashi.

The runner-up was last year's winner, Kazutoyo Arai of Japan, who knocked down 31 hot dogs. Arai had set the record of 25 during last year's contest.

For dessert, Kobayashi ate two more hot dogs while posing for pictures and camera crews at the Coney Island event. Through an interpreter, the new champion bragged that he could knock off another twenty hot dogs.

Thankfully, no one took him up on the offer."

That, my readers, is intensely gross.

<sigh>

That was an intense game of 2v2 Ultimate Frisbee. Well, I spent somewhere between 4-6 hours studying for my chinese quiz tomorrow, and I still think I'm not prepared... but hey, there's little else I can do at this point besides study more, but I'm a bit too tired and distracted for that. I'll study more tomorrow before class because it's at 6:00, and so long as I don't get a D or E (E if failing here, there is no F) I'll be somewhat satisfied, although I'm aiming for B at the lowest. What needs the most work is pronounciation and recognizing chinese characters. Spelling and stuff is ok, my translation needs work (it is directly correlated with the pronounciation and knowing which tones and such) but whatever.

Anyhow... live at Harvard is good. Hopefully I'll be going to Maine this weekend.

blah. So this is some more boredom inspired typing/rambling. What oh what will I do. I'm sitting here listening to Paul Oakenfold's Voyage into Trance and I'm must totally bored and apathetic. I don't want to do my reading that I need to finish by tuesday, of which I 've read about 90 out of 170 pages... I need to wake up relatively early for tomorrow considering that I need to have eaten breakfast before 10:00 to meet my sister @ 10:00 and considering that I usually don't wake up until around 11:00 to noon, that is early. Moving on... this weekend I went back home, sort of, just grabbed a few things, hung out w/ Geddes and Anthony... missed the train back and had to have Geddes give me a ride to Alewife, which sucked, moreso for him than for me... I just don'tknow what i'm doing. I can't do much online because my computer is going pretty nuts downloading a movie (Office Space) and... ummm... that's about all I got. Maybe I'll go play a game, except that I won't because all the good ones are online and my computer can't deal with much more, bandwidth or otherwise. aaaccckkk... I need to find something to do. Enough of this.
