Mid-Semester Crisis

Now Playing: To The Roof - by John Powell - from The Bourne Supremacy OST

I *HATE* this part of the semester - mostly because this is when I run out of steam, start phoning it in, skipping class - all of which results in me mucking up my exams. Try as I might, I'm too apathetic/lethargic to care. argh.

And we're fresh out of the sugar-high-inducing, heart-attack-causing chocolate cheesecake, so now what have I got to look forward to? :D

Yesterday was the Biome Pubnight thing - didn't stay very long, but it was nice to see all those people in the flesh! In attendance were Aravind, Chris, Derek, Nina, ZMP, Yonny, Shankar, Ali, Olly and Steff (among others). We had way too much fun simply taking silly pictures - which (hopefully) will never see the light of day. *crossed fingers*

Who else watches Lost? I'm one of that rare breed of U of T students who actually watches television. The rest of the lot are too busy studying. Such dedication on me part, wot? Anywho, I really like Lost now - and not just cause of the hot guys - the ideas are pretty good too. I think all JJ Abrams shows have those two factors going for them - hot guys and good scriptwriting. Recall the second season of Alias - best season EVER, episodewise, and there were THREE hot guys as regular cast members (be still, my beating heart!) - and then Will had to go leave. feh.

Gah - friday afternoon scatterbrain syndrome is the worst. I wonder if there are actually people in the world who get work done on Friday? I mean, I can't. Not if I've come through a five day work-week. I can get cracking on the Saturday morning, but friday, i'm as useless as can be. Which is why I'm here doing this, after all, instead of so-called "productive work".

PJ TIME!

(not jammies, PJ = poor joke - my specialty, don't ye know?)

The owner of the Wilson Nails factory calls up his ad agency and tells them to make a commercial showing off his nails. The ad exec says "no problem," and that the commercial will air that night at 8 p.m. So Mr. Wilson turns on his TV at 8 p.m. and his commercial starts.

It looks like this: Two Romans come out carrying spears and walk up to a cross with Jesus hanging on it. The camera focus on his hands and the >head of the nail, which clearly has "Wilson" written on it. Mr. Wilson goes completely crazy, calls up his ad exec and tells him to get rid of that commercial before the Catholic Church sues him.

The ad exec says okay, and that he will make another commercial the following night at 8 p.m. At 8 p.m. the next day, Mr. Wilson turns on the tube and his commercial starts. This time, two Romans come out carrying spears and approach the cross, but Jesus is not on it -- we can see him running away in the background. One Roman guard says to the other, "I told you we should have used Wilson Nails."

Finally - thanks to all who wished me on my birthday (you know who you are!) - you made my day! So a big e-hug to all of you! :D

Birthday!

Ah, been ages. Midterm Hell is finally over, and so I can post once more!!! :D

So, we went out to celebrate my birthday last Friday! Well, mine AND Linda's, actually - Linda's birthday was last, last Sunday, and mine is this Saturday, so we thought we'd go out to celebrate both at the same time! So Steph, Linda, Mimi and I went shopping at Eaton's. I finally got to go to H&M!!! I love their coats, by the way! I was gushing over every single one in the store! Anyway, I ended up buying a brown suede skirt, with these ruffles :D - it's kinda cute. Linda was eyeing this yellow jacket, but then didn't buy it. :( We then wandered around Eaton's for a bit more, looking at the stores, and then we went to Spring Rolls for Thai food!

Katie joined us for dinner - she'd have been there earlier, but she had the Physiology miderm this Monday, so she stayed in to study. Anyway, dinner was wonderful - the food was good (and swanky!), the company was great, and the conversation interesting. We did manage to prove that I can't tell a joke without breaking into a giggle-fit - great day for science, wot? AND Mimi got me the second Inuyasha movie! The animation is sooo crisp; i'm never going to be able to watch an episode of the regular TV show normally.

Had to present a paper for my Developmental Biology class - despite my TOTAL fear of public speaking, managed to get through it without embarrassing myself more than usual! Woohoo!

What else? Re- the US election - i'm not even going to bother commenting. really. i've already ranted IRL more than is good for me.

Bleh. And now, I have two weeks of relatively free time! POWER TO THE SLACKERS!

random music note before I leave - get the Samurai Champloo OSTs. All four of them. they are THAT good.

ciao!
