The One About TV Shows & Music

My ass will no longer be situated in front of the boob tube (or monitor ;-) rather) until the fall (hopefully). No longer will I be in the know about what's happening in Fox River, Neptune, Seattle Grace Hospital, and soon Wisteria Lane and Orange County. Yes boys and girls, tis the season of finales.

Although I will miss my weekly dose of crazy shenanigans and wonderful storylines (well, except the OC cause that's just a guilty pleasure hehehe), the one thing that I will definitely miss the most is the MUSIC (well, except Prison Break cause there isn't really a lot of tune pimpage in that show). Through these shows, I've been introduced to artists who I would NEVER have heard of through the traditional music channels of music videos or the radios. So for that, I thank thee ye olde wise boob tube. I guess I will have to find new music from the excellent music blogs posted on the side. ;-) Anyway, I thought I'd do some "pimping" of my own today and let whoever stumbles onto this site sample some GOOOOOOOD music. :-) If the owners of these tunes want them off the site, just email me and I'll gladly obliged (eventhough I'm just helping to spread the good word ;-)).

Songs from The OC:

Imogen Heap - Hide & Seek
Rogue Wave - California
Pinback - Fortress

Songs from Grey's Anatomy:

Kate Havnevik - Nowhere Warm
Holidays On Ice - Here Comes Your Ride
Regina Spektor - On The Radio

So I have another class today. I'm contemplating on whether or not I should bring my lappie to it cause seriously, the class is DAMN BORING!!!!!!!! I'm sure the professor is nice and all but I think I've mentioned before that I could easily skip all classes and just read the lecture slides cause well, that's all he does so far. Hopefully I'm wrong and the class and his teaching style will get better...soon! :-P

The One About Mother's Day

Go & Hug Your Mommy!!! :-)

Ahhhh, this video is classssic! I don't think moms should only be appreciated for just one "Hallmark pressured" day. Make everyday Mother's and Father's Day! Go on...say your "I Love You"s and "Thank Yous (for being the best Mom & Dad EVER)" and don't forget the hugs and kisses. Coming from an Asian family and all, it's like pulling teeth to be all loving and caring cause we're not like that. We know the love is there but showing it, that's another story. Well, there's always Hallmark. Hehehehe! Happy Momma's Day, Mom!!!! :-)

Other updates? Hmm, San hit the big 3-0! :-) Hehehehe, I'm sure she wants that advertised but oh well, not like anyone she knows reads this. Hehehehe. Pulled a great gag on her in regards to her birthday present from Doris and moi. Hehehe! I'm sure the instructor is very qualified as an engineer but damn, is he ever a dryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (see bland, boring, etc) educator. I did not pay $550 (not incl. parking and all that crap) to go to his class and listen to him READ WORD FOR WORD from his lecture slides. >_< I could skip all classes and just show up for exams but then again, I DID PAYYYYYYY for the class so I have to attend to get my $$$$'s worth. God, I'm crazy! :-P

The One About Model Addiction

Okay, I am lame. I admit it, I loveeeeeee watching America's Next Top Model (ANTM). Damn you Tyra Banks! Actually, I'm not as bad as San cause she WOULD NOT leave the house on Wednesday nights cause of ANTM (well, that and House). I, on the other hand, tend to miss the episodes on the boobtube so I often resort to finding the episodes online; either via torrents or YouTube. And since I haven't done anything too exciting during my MINI summer holiday (no cash = no fun :-P, I will just write about tv shows that are keeping me entertained and occupied until school starts. I know...aren't you just envious of me? Yes, that was sarcasm. :-P


So, I'm going to say it (hopefully I won't jinx anything) - Danielle and Joanie will be the FINAL TWO competing for ANTM Cycle 5 (see above caps from ANTM website). My money is on Danielle to win and because I just said that, she's probably not going to win. :-( As for last night's episode, I was a weeeeeeeeee bit sad to see Furonda leave cause she was hilarious in the Thai dancing, well "dance off". I was hoping Jade would be booted before Furonda but Jade does provide the drama and we all know that we can't get enough of her butchering the English language (see below; screencaps from fourfour).


ANTM - best entertainment that money bandwidth can buy. ;-) Oh before I forget, THE FLAMES LOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Jill Sobule - Supermodel

RuPaul - Supermodel (You Better Work)

The One About Prison Break

How bloody brilliant was Monday's episode of Prison Break!!!!!!!!! I have to admit, I kinda tapered off in watching the show religiously after the first, maybe 5 episodes, but thankfully, I got back into it for the past few weeks. :-D I would up a clip of the episode (near the end with all the build up and the often overused, but still fitting, Massive Attack's Teardrop in the background) onto YouTube but I reckon they would delete it off theirserver and ban me or something and I can't risk that, I need my YouTube fix. Oh well, at least there are screencaps. :-D


If you can't wait until next Monday, you can get your spoilers at JustJared's or just google for them. ;-) Oh yes, can't leave without marketing the tunes. ;-)

Massive Attack - Teardrop

Jose Gonzalez - Teardrop (Live?)

So yeah, still enjoying my MINI summer break. Getting back into the grind of things next week - so not looking forward to it. But oh well, it's necessary if I plan on graduating next April. :-P So, who wants to come to my grad ceremony? I'll put you on the VIP list. Hahahahahahahaha!

The One About "You Tubing"

One of the coolest find of late last year was YouTube. When they're not deleting videos because of the fear of getting sued, the site is DAMN FANTASTIC! I reckon that it won't be too long before a big corporation (if they haven't already) put down the $$$ and buy them out. Oh well, until then, I am taking advantage of watching all the stuff that people around the world seem to be uploading onto their server. I've uploaded a few but they pale in comparison to what other people have done. So, I'm gonna dedicate this post to all the cool stuff (well, mainly music videos that IIIIIII like so :-P) you can find on YouTube. :-D

Someone stoppppppppp me!!!!! I could keep going for a looooooong time cause the site's like google - you'll never know what you may get unless you search. Happy searching. ;-) Oh yeah, if you want to download the videos seen on YouTube or other video hosting sites, check out http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php for the "How-To's".

The One About Doing The Taxes

Well, it's crunch time! I FINALLY finished my, actually it's MY WHOLE FAMILY'S, taxes. It took me about an hour for each family member. >_< I could have been: (a) watching the hockey game, (b) watching Veronica Mars (awesome show by the way), (c) doing absolutely sweet fuck all!!!!! but noooooo, I have to file taxes. Damn REVENUE CANADA!!!! (and their "NO WAY WILL YOU BE TALKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE UNLESS YOU WAIT ON THE PHONE FOR HOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS").

Anyway, if I did everyone's correctly then they should all be getting a refund (including moi but mine's miniscule compared to the rest of the family...then again, I did say IF I DID IT CORRECTLY). I guess you'll never know what you can claim as an expense unless you claim it. ;-)

This isn't really a mp3 blog cause Lord knows there are 834239873240237463 (this might not be an exact number) of them popping up all over the net (some ARE quite good - check out the links on the right ;-)) but I thought I'd try pimping out some tunes that are money related, given the situation. ;-)

Bell X1 - The Money

Deep Dish - Money for Nothing (Dire Straits Cover)

Imogen Heap - Hide & Seek (For those who haven't filed their taxes or owes Revenue Canada a SHITLOAD! Get it! HAHAHAHAHAHA)


Oh, before I forget - I saw Fun With Dick and Jane the other night and it was FUNNY! I've heard/read that the reviews for this film weren't favourable so I was a bit hesitant in committing 90 mins of my life to watch it. However, I was B-O-R-E-D that day so I just pop the DVD into my lappie and watched it...and I'm glad I did! :-D I laughed a lot! There was this one scene (hint: see above pic) that I laughed uncontrollably (much like the time Angela and I went to see Along Came Polly at the theatre and we laughed at the "SHARTED" scene for A LONNNNG TIME - think everyone in there was wondering WTF! are they laughing at?). :-D So, I would recommend this movie - though the ending was kinda "preachy"? :-P

The One About Two Movies & A Board Game

Finals week is officially over for me!!!!!!!!! And to celebrate, my friends and I went to the movies and played a board game. Yes, it's an exciting life I lead, eh? :-P Oh well, it's was fun. We went to see a "double" header: Silent Hill and American Dreamz.


Let's start with Silent Hill. I have to say that this movie (although a bit slow) did live up to the game, well, more so then Doom and Resident Evil. The movie captures the same eerieness from the game but overall, I wish it could have been scarier. However, this film has MORE GORE than Hostel (which by the way is WAYYYYYYYY HYPED UP for a piece of crap film - Tarantino must have been on crack when he pimped it out). Biggest surprise in the movie - well, it might not be a surprise to everyone else but I didn't know Sean Bean was in this flick. Overall, I give this a bearable/okay. :-)


Next, we saw American Dreamz, a satire about...well, the "American Dream", and this was funny! The characters in the film is SPOT ON with the. As you can tell (see pic), I am now a fan of OMER (played by Sam Golzari) and his "raised in the OC" cousins. Hell, I think the whole family is hilarious and cute. By the way, I didn't make up the catch phrase...it was really something he used in the movie plus a few hand gestures. :-D :-D So run, don't walk to your local theatre and catch this nice little gem.


And finally, to cap off the fun-filled (and sleep deprived) day, we played The Settlers of Catan. I know, you're wondering, "What the fuck is that?" No? Well, I did cause when Kenzie suggested that we play the game the other day, I was like "What???" It's a game that belongs in the same genre as Risk but simpler and it's actually pretty fun. Apparently there's a MSN version (but you have to pay to play so screw that. However, if you're interested, you can check out the introduction of the game here: http://www.profeasy.com/Settlers_Boardgame/index.html.

Happy gaming! :-P

The One About Overconfidence

Well, two down and one more to go. :-P And I don't think I want to say too much about it now. Basically, I thought I was going to rock my Labour Relations final...so much so that I didn't study too much for it. Boy, that was a mistake. Oh well, no one to blame but myself. Don't get me wrong, I passed the course but I was aspiring for a higher grade. Unfortunately, I didn't put enough effort into it - I know, you're wondering, "Well how the hell did she expect to get a better grade if she didn't put any effort?" Okay, I get it, stopppppp lecturing me. :-P

Oh well, like I said, two down and one to go (Sales Management, which by the way cannot be used as a credit towards my HR degree. >_<). As it stands, I have taken 3 courses which are counted as "extras". Apparently, I'm bloody rich!!! NOT! :-P

What else? Oh, I got an email from my Project Management instructor this afternoon. The course isn't starting until May 8th but I guess he wanted to give a brief intro to the course. So anyway, here's the 411:

Hello all,

They tell me that some students are very keen and like to do a bunch of work even before the session starts! I thought I would try out this e-mail function and check that it works.

My name is *NAME WITHHELD*. I have a Ph.D. in Engineering Management. I am a professional engineer and I work at a real job full time. I am teaching this course more out of a sense of civic duty than anything else. Almost all of my experience is with projects and "real" projects where the end result is a physical entity that you can kick and see and know that it works (as opposed to a computer system or a study).

I have not spent a lot of time developing the course in advance because there are two things I am considering. Project Management is all about dealing with people. People are not as predictable as numbers and inanimate objects. If you let someone choose between an apple and an orange, they may pick the orange because they like oranges better than apples. If you offer a banana and an apple, they may pick the apple over the banana. If you then offer this same person a banana and an orange, logic dictates that they will pick the orange because oranges are prefered over apples and apples are preferred over bananas. I hope you can see where I am heading where a person might choose the banana because they like bananas more than oranges, or even they might feel like having a banana that day.

So this course can be the cut and dry presentation of process and rules that has become the Project Management body of knowledge. This is the type of material that is easy to memorize and test and learn. For example it would test whether you learned the three main project constraints and to list them. If the course takes this direction, I will learn along with you, because the material may not necessarily be things that I encountered in my 15+ years experience in Project Management and not things that are particularly interesting to me.

The other way the course could go is to explore the types of people problems that need to be handled as a project manager. Develop an understanding of the nature of project management and project managers. Instead of learning a set of rules that you may or may not use, the second way this course could go is to develop an understanding of projects, which will be useful regardless of whether you manage projects or deal with people who do. I recently had a chat with a priest who is an ex-engineer, and he was involved with having the church renovated. He did not need to know the seven factors of whatever, but he did need to know how to
communicate with the construction contractor what exactly needed to be done.

So if you are keen and need to be working on this course even before it starts, you can think about which way you would like the course to go. We will spend some time on the first day discussing what exactly you students want out of this course. If the answer is you are taking the course for the credits you need to graduate and you need to take something, that is a totally acceptable answer.

Looks like it might be an interesting course - though that little note about civic duty kinda turned me off a bit. Anyway, I guess I should make more of an effort for this last course, even if it doesn't count towards my degree (but it does affect my GPA). Shhhhhhhhh...I'm studying.

The One About Me Chomping On Sunflower Seeds At 1:30 in the Morning

Okay, I had a can of Arush before I went to write my Ethics final and now I cannot sleep. :-P So, I'm sitting here, surfing the net while I'm chomping on Spitz instead of preparing for my next final. Did I mention that being a procrastinator is such a bitch? Damn, it's like a disease and I want a cure, dammit! :-P

So, I managed to write up 14 pages!! yes, 14 pages (single spaced) in my Ethics' essay question-like final. I don't know how I did cause I don't think I had time to think too much as I just wrote sentence after sentence before my 2.5 hours time limit runs out. Hopefully the prof will be able to read my response cause when I'm under pressure, my handwriting is worse than a prescription written by a doctor.

Oh yeah, during the procrastination stage, I saw King Kong; visually pleasing but there doesn't seem to be much dialogue after the 1.5 hr mark of the 3-hour movie. This might explain why I fell asleep during the beginning of the movie. Hehehe! Anyway, one final down and two to go. :-D

The One About Procrastination Being My Downfall

Okay, I trrrrrrrrrrried to study for my finals but that's not going well. What did I end up doing instead? Well, here's the rundown:

* Went for coffee with San and I even brought my textbooks too but alas, we ended up playing Cribs (btw, I KICKED her ass hehehehe), chit-chatted with my cousin (who actually did do some studying of his own with his mate), and then capped off the night by watching Brokeback Mountain. Hahahahahahaha! I swoooore that I wasn't gonna watch it but it wasn't too bad - really is a typical love story. But Heath Ledger's character was damn annoying - always with the self-pity and selfishness (selfishness because I felt sorry for Michelle Williams' character; I mean 10+ years of lies). If Ang Lee thought that the Oscar for Best Picture was between Brokeback and Crash, then I'm glad Crash won. :-D

* Went for [s]Mexican[/s]...El Salvadorian food (at the shady neighbourhood where I used to work, and no, not that kinda work :-P) and it wasn't too bad but I find that the fried stuff on the menu taste a bit better than the non-fried ones. Hehehe! Funny thing happened...so we got back to the car and it had started already. San was digging in her purse to find her keys and I jokingly said, "You left it in the car, didn't you?", and followed that with "Wait, how did you start the car?" She replied with "My car starter" and then I looked through the windows and saw the car keys still in the ignition switch. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! She had left the car running throughout dinner - luckily for us, (a) it wasn't winter and (b) she had a spare key in her purse. PHEW! But that was toooooo funny not to be shared. Hahahahahahaha!

* Watched some more movies - (a) Flightplan - Was a dud, why in the hell did Jodie Foster agree to star in this flick. (b) 2046 - Visually, it was very, very pretty but it was kinda boring. As aforementioned by Jackie, maybe it gets better when you watch it a 2nd time? But I think I'll pass cause I can't waste another 129 minutes on it. :-P

* I also rented King Kong and damn, that's another 3 hours I have to set aside for that film. Maybe I'll watch it next week cause thanks to Blockbuster's no late fees (it's not really NO FEES - one should really read the fine prints ;-)). So, that leaves me with 3 more Oscar films that I need to catch up on - Capote, Munich, and Good Night and Good Luck (which is on PPV :-)).

So yeah, if I didn't do too well on my finals, I have Hollywood to blame - okay, maybe I can take a bit of the heat too. Hehehehe

The One About Easter

To continue with the Easter talks, Le Chocolatier Suisse asked, "Why are "Easter Eggs" made out of chocolate?" Well, according to Wiki (no, it's not the end all or be all), the traditional eggs used were your regular old chicken eggs but it's now a "modern custom" to substiture them with ones made from chocolate and or plastic egg-shaped containers filled with sugary goodness. Okay, so that still doesn't answer why chocolate.

Well, in my opinion, I think that the good people in this capitalistic society decided one day to make more money out of this sacred holiday by substituting tradition with something new, something that they can make a profit. Some brilliant bastard probably yelled out, "CHOCOLATES!!!!!" - lets introduce choclates to the holiday and get the kids hooked on them and then they will yell and scream at their parents to buy them more and more of it during this holiday and soooooon, it will be a NEW tradition, associating chocolates with Easter and we will all be RICHER!!!!." So, how's that explaination? :-D

Anyway, before I come down from the sugar rush and be all depressed, I should state that I am going to have a FULL course load for the next two semesters. MON DIEU!!! Think Spring 2007 will be a killer cause I have two CORE courses that I need to balance in my schedule, along with all the other crap, sorry did I say crap - I meant FINE ARTS course, that I have to take. I predict a LOT of essays to write, group projects to do, maybe a few speeches and presentations but damn it, I'm striving to be in the Class of 2007. :-P You know how I always end with "Pray for me", well this time, try and include a few sacrificial items of some sort too if you can. Hahahahaha. Happy Easter everyone (or rather one - Jackie cause I don't know who else reads my blabberings) Hahahaha.

Things to do before the end of the month:

• study for finals


• do my taxes (incl. mi familia's)


• relax for a week before summer school starts

The One About Family "Get Togethers"

There is a reason why I detest family "get togethers" (big or small) - it's such a chore trying to set it up. :-P For example, the clan is trying to get together for dinner this week and even with just 10 people, I've had to phone the restaurant 4 times (1st time to make the reservation, 2nd time to change the # of people coming, 3rd to change the # of people coming again, #4 to change the date) to change the bloody reservations. As it stands, it will be postponed until after my finals which means phone call #5, to cancel the reservation. :-P I could move the reservation to a later date but I rather not, in case the restaurant takes notice of the # of changes made on their reservation book and decide to give us something extra in our dishes (see: Waiting). So, just to be safe (and make it more complicated cause that's the type of person I am and how I do things :-P), I'll get another reservation next week or something under my name (original was under the parent's Hahahaha) and phone number. Hahahahaha! So yes, 5 bloody calls in 2 days. :-P

Anyway, Monday is almost done and over with and that leaves me with just one week till I write my first of three finals. :-P Pray for me! :-D


Oh yeah, Easter is just around the corner too. You know what that means? Yes, lots and lots of chocolates would go on sale from now until the week after Easter. Hahahaha! I'm not a religious person so I don't really know much about Easter in details, other than it's a holiday to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Maybe that's all I need to know? What got me wondering is why a bunny is associated with also associated with this holiday? Well, after much googling, the Easter bunny isn't just a marketing gimmick.
The Romans believed that all life proceeded from an egg, so the egg came to symbolize birth and rebirth. Christians regarded eggs as the seeds of life and attributed them with the symbol of Jesus' resurrection.

The rabbit was used in early Easter celebrations to symbolize fertility, perhaps because these animals give birth to multiple offspring at a time. Anglo-Saxon mythology says that Ostara changed her pet bird into a rabbit to entertain a group of children, and the rabbit laid brightly colored eggs for them.

Easter was once celebrated by giving colored eggs to children and later evolved to hiding them in the grass, where they had supposedly been laid by a hare. Children referred to this Easter mascot as the "Easter Hare," which later became known as the "Easter Bunny."

The One About Me Being Crazy (for Gnarls Barkley)

While I was surfing for music blogs, I came upon all these promo pictures for the band Gnarls Barkley (compiling of 1 member from Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo :-)). Hilarious as they may be, I wasn't sure if I believed the hype...until recently when I discovered their music, particularly one song, and I loveeeeeeeee "Crazy" (which you can hear on their website)!

I was trying to check and see if their music video has been leaked on the web (or YouTube) and nada. There is one but apparently it's not the "official" video, however the video is pretty cool (see below). Kudos to whoever made it. :-D


Oh, and this semester is almost over (just a few more weeks, including a week's break) and I'm off to summer school. :-P I'm going to spend the first half of my summer in a Project Management course and then the latter half in English Lit. :-P Hoooooorayyyyyy!!! Yes, I am being sarcastic. :-P

Stock update: I didn't end up getting any shares of the Tim Horton's stocks. Couldn't be asked to setup a personal broker account online and worry about all the fees and stuff associated with buying and selling and of course, maintaining (cause I have to do all that by myself). Yes, I'm a lazy bitch :-P Oh and unless Timmys adopt the use of wi-fi (free, of course) at all their locations, I refuse to buy any more coffee from them. Okay, who am I kidding? Hahahahahahahahaha! But seriously, the execs at Timmy's, wi-fi is not that expensive so think about it, okay? *doing the pinky and thumb hand gesture* Call me. ;-)

The One About My Beef

I have a beef. It's with Dell. No, it's not about the product (my lappie :-D) nor is it about the service at this time (knock on wood) - it's about their promo department.


Eversince I got my lappie, I've been getting promos about their new products incl. their NEW PRODUCTS (DUAL CORE), FANTASTIC DISCOUNTS and UPGRADES. WTF!!!!! Why couldn't they pimp out these specials earlier, like before I JUST BOUGHT the laptop? >_< It's like they're teasing me - "Ha Ha! If you waited a couple more months, you could have gotten THIS, THIS, AND/OR THIS!" :-P

But I guess that's just how the world and economy works - ads/promos to create a need so that you would spend your money to buy the things that they are selling. If I was a hardcore shopaholic like Rebecca Bloomwood, I would be well and truly S.O.L. I don't know whether to be thankful or not but I've been there, done that, and moved on - aka learned my lesson. :-P

Anyway, that's my beef at the moment. Toodles!

The One With Summer School

It has been a hell of a week - sorted my registration (kinda) and it looks like I'll be heading to summer school. I don't even think that I went to summer school when I was in high school. Oh well, at least it will take some pressure off my fall courseload (actually, not really as I'm registered for 4 classes :-P). At this rate, it looks like I'll be graduating in next April. :-D

So, it looks like Le Globetrotteur has gotten the birthday gift. I know I said I wasn't going to rant anymore but he pressured me so here goes - WHY THE FUCK DOES IT COST $42 to ship a small parcel to Suisse? >_< Yes, it turns out the postage was twice the cost of the gift. :-P Stupid Canada Post! I even checked their website for a rate and it was estimated at $25 (max), which I expected but goddamnit, $42?!?!?!?!?! Next time, I'll just send cards with gift certificates or something. :-P At least that will only cost $2.00 to go overseas. :-P

What else is coming up? Hmm, Daylight Savings Time starts this weekend (yes, Spring Fwd therefore you'll be turning your clock an hour ahead :-P), Easter is approaching (yay, long weekend), and my finals are just around the corner. (BOOOOOOO!)

The One About Globetrotteur's L'anniversaire

Bonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn anniversaireeeeeee! Or is it Bonnnnnnnnnnnn Fête!!!!!! Hahaha!

Hope you're not too hung over cause I think you still have to head to class tomorrow. Hehehehehe!

The One About "Bling"ing The Blog

Found this new toy for the blog - see Stickam.com Think it's at the introductory product stage (even if it has been out since Oct 2005 :-P) and so far, so good. Looks like you can do some pretty cool things with it and the best part of it is that it's FREEEEEEE! (for now :-D) With product/service loyalty among internet users being ABYSMAL (okay, there may be some users who are truly loyal to the prod/serv and will stick it out with them even if they do have to pay), here's hoping that this service will stay FREE! :-D So far, I've upped 8 tunes :-D and 2 vids and 1 pic. Hahahahaha! Maybe I'll up more later. :-D

Anyway, the city was hit with a massive snowstorm (they predicted 15 cm but I think it was more like 30 or more) and driving around town has been PURE AGONY! Especially when the roads are filled with slooooooooow drivers - I know you're suppose to be careful but when ONE LONE CAR is slowing up everyone, that is not a good thing. :-P But I didn't do too bad on Saturday (had to head to class) cause I got there in 30 mins compared to the usual 15-20 mins - which isn't too bad considering the roads weren't cleared that early in the morning. Hehehehe! :-D

What's in store for me this week? Well, I have 2 group projects to finish off, register for fall classes (and possibly summer if I can get the class I want lol), sort out my RRSP/LLC, attempt to buy a share of Tim Horton (HAHAHAHA), pay bills, and procrastinate until my finals are a week away. Hahahahaha! Yes, old habits don't die. :-P Speaking of registration, it started on the 17th but I can't do mine until the 23rd. That is so annoying - it's supposed to be based on seniority but I've spoken to a few of my classmates who are nearly graduating (maybe 1 or 2 courses away) and they still have to register on the 23rd. I say it's a load of BULLLLLCRAP! :-P Okay, my rant is over. I'm going to go outside and cannonball into the big ass pile of snow in the backyard. Hahahahaha (Okay, not really but it would have been fun. :-D)

The One About The Good & The Bad

The Good:

- Visiting Donna and her newborn :-D That kid is cute but damn does he ever have explosive #2. Hahahahaha

- Finally watched Crash - I have to say that this is a pretty good film. :-D

- Chicken Vino Bianco @ The Olive Garden

The Bad:

- Watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre - I think it's a bad thing to have the audience rooting for Leatherface to shut Jessica Biel's character up. Hahahahahaha

- Having my mobile crapped out on me at the most inappropriate time :-P

- Forking out postage for a parcel to Suisee :-P (I would like to apologize for this one in advance if it seems petty but GODDAMN! I now understand why things are so expensive in Suisse. Hahahahahahahaha! Bloody transportation cost! And it caught me off guard too and I'm sure the people standing behind me were shocked. By boat or by air - est time to get there = 2 months vs. 2 weeks. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

- Snow! Snow! Snow! :-P

The One About Rolling Up The Rim

Well, it's that time again - Tim Horton's promotion of "Roll Up The Rim To Win". I don't know what it is but I don't think I'll ever tire of Tim Horton's coffee (esp. their "double double"). I must have had like (on average) one a day :-P and I still have yet to win the big prizes (suuuuuure maybe a few free coffee but I want the car, dammit!).

I don't know if it's a coincidence but the promotion coincides with Tim Horton's going public. Yes, you too can buy a piece of the company (the stock will be listed on the New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges under the symbol THI). However I think that it will be hard for the general public to get in on that piece of action as everyone seems to want in and there isn't a lot of shares made public. I should check and see if I can buy just ONNNNNNNE share of Tim Horton's. Maybe then I'd feel much prouder (like those employees in the Westjet commercials) that I'm a partial (ok, minuscule) owner of this Canadian (okay, it was bought out by Wendy's which is American :-P) corporation. Also, I would feel much better that the $ I'm forking out to buy all those coffee will eventually return to me as profits. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh well, I can dream, can't I? :-P

By the way, the double/double that I got today, I won BUPPPPPKISS! :-P There's always tomorrow. Hahaha!

The One About Catching Up

Okay, so I have been slacking with the blog entries lately. Between school and everyday chores, it's getting a tad hectic here. It's getting closer and closer to the end of another semester so I've got a lot on my plate (projects - individual & group, essays, exams, arghhhhhhhh). What I would give to be like the globetrotter for a week (or two) and just hop about in Europe. :-D

What's new? Uhm, managed to squeeze a few movies into my schedule - Lord of War (I like), Madagascar (Overhyped), Transporter 2 (Crap!) The Woodsman (I like), and Exorcism of Emily Rose (It's Okay).


Saw the video for this song on Muchmusic last month and decided to pimp it out, it's quite nice. :-D It's City and Colour's Save Your Scissors. Would you believe that the artist (Dallas Green) behind City and Colour is in the Canadian punk/hard rock band, Alexisonfire? I much prefer his solo project than the band's cause screaming and yelling at the microphone is NOT Music (see: Billy Talent :-P).

City and Colour - Save Your Scissors

Can't think of anything more to write about at the moment. :-P
