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
