Right now I’m keeping myself rather busy, learning two new programming languages, namely, Ruby and Scheme. Ruby is the supposed hot new thing on the block, and the only problem with it is that it was invented by a Japanese person, and Korea and Japan hate each other. Yes, I’m just Korean enough that this turns me off. Almost. But I decided to learn Scheme, too, which is a dialect of Lisp, just in case Ruby turns me off totally somewhere — Scheme is noted for use in artificial intelligence, which is what I’m learning these languages for. Scheme, though, I actually used some 15 years ago or so (am I that old? egad!) in a computer science class, way back when.... Other than that, I have been going on a lot of blind dates, and disappointing the elders (dad, mom, aunts, etc.) by not hooking up with any of them. They keep telling me that I’m no spring chicken, but I think it rather is that they feel that they’re getting on themselves, which is why the rush (and the smell of desperation). I’m rather fine with where I am. Ob la di, ob la da — life goes on. La la honey life goes on.

In that movie "A Bronx Tale" a gangster says something like....."kid, you get three chances at love, after that, all bets are off.".
