The One With Another "All Nighter"

God damn! Another assignment down! One more to go along with a midterm. You know what I hate about written assignment? Trying to draw out the SAME 2-3 IMPORTANT points (that I know of :-P) into 5-10 pages. :-P If the prof lets me (not that I would know cause I'm not gonna test her or the following idea :-P), I would just write 3 paragraphs with the important points in 3 sentences and hand that to her (all in one page, single spaced). Hahahahaha!

Personally, I'm not too keen on the Kaiser Chiefs and Jack Johnson isn't really a "breakthrough" artist - the dude has been out for eons, WTF! As for Kanye, he's getting on my nerves these days - hasn't he learned that humility has its virtues? :-P And James Blunt, well, he's not my cup of tea either. :-P I bet Robbie WIlliams must be pissed off that he was beaten by Blunt. I'm thinking Blunt will be a "one hit wonder" in, oh let's say 15 minutes. Hehehehehehe! I remember when the Brit Awards used to be so cool (with winners and performers such as PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, Maniac Street Preachers, Stereophonics, (minus the Spice Girls HAHAHAHA) etc...) I guess it still looks like a cool party, probably more so than our Junos. :-P

Anyway, I'm probably delirious again. No sleep and caffeine will do that to a person. Hahahaha! Ok, I'm going to try to either: (a) finish up my last assignment, (b) finish up my last assignment and study, (c) study, (d) procrastinate some more, or (e) try to get some sleep while still buzzed from 2 cans of Sobe and a XL cup of double double. O_o O_o O_o O_o O_o O_o helpppppp meeeee O_o O_o O_o O_o
