Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Coco and Pixie

I was awake until 4 am last night finishing my CS project. It was working perfectly when I turned it in, so I hope I did well on it. CS 124 is my hardest class this semester by far. We will get ANOTHER project assigned tomorrow, except this one is a group project. I absolutely hate group projects :grr: But that’s a whole ‘nother story…

So, I went to check on Coco a bit ago only to discover that her cage door is open and she is running around the bedroom. I asked William if he let her out, but he said no. Apparently, that crafty pig has learned how to escape from her cage :nod: I don’t blame her, either! Pixie accompanied me to feed Coco and I got some cute pics of the two playing together.

Today was a sad day for Naruto fans. The series was licensed to Cartoon Network. I’m sure that they will absolutely butcher it as they did Sailormoon and various other animes. Oh well, at least I still have the manga, which is better in my opinion :)

Boring Post Ahead


The foremost reason that I love the Naruto series so much is the incredible storyline. If you’ve read the latest manga (Chapter 245), then you’ve seen the 2.5 years-older versions of Naruto and Sakura. I was particularly excited about Naruto’s slight transformation because he resembles Yondaime even more than before. I can’t wait for Kishimoto to reveal the true identity of Yondaime and his official relationship to Naruto. Personally, I believe the father/son theory… it reminds me of the Star Wars/Luke and Vader relationship :hehe: I will be quite disappointed if it turns out any different. I got bored studying for my Cal test and decided to find images of Yondaime and Naruto from the manga and compare them. Judging by appearance alone, they have to be related somehow:

If you’re a Naruto fan, tell me your theory.

School is really tough this semester. I’m going to have a hard time getting good grades. I was really upset yesterday because I thought I bombed my first Calculus exam. We went over the correct answers in class today, and I didn’t do as bad as I had originally expected. I think I made a 96 on my Math 115 test that I took this afternoon. I have a GES 131 exam tomorrow afternoon and two Computer Science tests Friday. This has been a rough week! x_x

I changed the look of my navigation on the Winter Hues skin, let me know what you think. This is a really boring post, sorry about that. Happy belated Groundhog Day :D

Michael’s CD

Time for your daily dose of Pixie… it’s pretty cold outside, so she’s wearing her jacket :nod:

As I mentioned in my previous post, my friend Michael recorded a CD and I uploaded 13 of his tracks to my Radio.Blog. I forgot to mention, however, that he’s also playing the guitar. I’m pretty sure he wrote each song himself, too. He gave me the CD Thursday night and I’ve been listening to it all weekend. I’m impressed. I just added the titles. My favorite track is #5 - Crazy.

I wrote a cool hack for WP based on one that Dodo used to have on her blog. Now, I can see which skin each commenter is using :-) I think I should spend less time scripting and more time studying!

I didn’t get anything accomplished this weekend, which is terrible since I have four exams next week. I better go finish my Calculus homework now.

Halo 2

So much for the cold weather! I’ve worn my new sandals every day this week :look: It’s kind of cold today since it’s raining. I hate rainy days because I have the hardest time waking up in the morning. I had planned to wake up at 6:30 am and get a shower, but I ended up sleeping until 8:15 :sweatdrop:

Andy picked up his copy of Halo 2 at midnight Monday/Tuesday. I beat the entire campaign in ONE day :lol: The ending is somewhat disappointing, but the campaign itself is a lot of fun. The AI characters are much smarter and you can interact with the boards. I won’t spoil it for anyone ;) I don’t care much for the multiplayer, but I guess I’ll just have to get used to it. Will and I are debating whether or not to buy a copy for ourselves.

I’ve been helping my friends with their Intro to Webdesign projects, which has put me in the mood to make a new layout. I started to work on one yesterday, but I doubt that I’ll finish it anytime soon.

Note to everyone: NEVER rent Titus - it’s the dumbest movie ever.

The Return of the Geek

Oh my goodness… guess what I just watched on AOL? The Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer!! :nod: The movie looks freakin’ awesome judging by the teaser. I really hope that Lucas doesn’t screw this one up.

Will and I are watching Van Helsing right now. I’m about to go to bed because this movie really sucks. It’s so cliche… I hate movies like this :no: Andy just phoned with bad news — Halo 2 sucks. I haven’t played it yet, so I can’t judge for myself. However, Andy is a total Halo nerd, so I trust him ;) I’m really not surprised because nothing is ever as good as the original.

I must brag again. I was the only person to make a perfect score on our second Computer Science exam! :woot: I also made a 100 on my second Art History exam. I’m really hoping for straight A’s this semester. Wish me luck!

I’m so glad that the election is finally over. Now we can all return to loving each other once again :beat: If you’re feeling down, watch this and you’ll never be sad again. Qbee members: please vote for my Halloween patch and/or Quilt Page. Nighty night!

Oh, btw - does anyone know how to install a Gravatar in b2? If so, please let me know.
