IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT BY NOW....
Mood: Happy as a groundhog eating shortbread
MSN Name: I PASSED!

(again, it's only like 2 minutes later)

I forgot something - over exams, I was walking into my Art of Listening final and the song "If you don't know me by now" popped into my head.... "If you don't know it by now, you are never ever ever gonna know it...oooooohhh" All these people always studying right until they're told by the invigiliating gods to put their books away b/c we're starting the exam.

Also, played LOTR trivial pursuit last night, which is ridiculously hard, and got one right based on my own knowledge. More amusingly, the question was about how many frames per second were shot to make Galadriel look all special, and I got it right because of my Film as Art knowledge that normal movies are 24 frames/second. YAY "bird" courses that aren't really coming in handy for something.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS PT. 1

MSN Name: I PASSED!

OK, I'm a bad blogger, but I didn't wanna blog about things when everyone else was stressed and I wasn't. Also, it really is (I agree Esha) easier to use it as procrastination then normal blogging, and the change of scene doesn't help. I didn't check my e-mail for a week *lol* That made some people quite happy :D

So, I checked my marks, which I was dreading, hoping that my stupid cognition grade wouldn't be up so I would only have my good grades to look at, but I passed which makes me happier than a pig in a raincoat!

I miss you all, anyone in Toronto, gimme a call sometime and we'll hang - I'm BORED! :D

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaates

ONE MORE, JUST ONE MORE
Mood: Chillax
MSN Name: Chop off my head and send me to Paris!

Waiting for my next exam, this afternoon at 2, then eagerly anticipating my date with a beautiful beer at Gerts. Pasha just made me change my name from saying she looks like a monkey, but she did! That reminds me of the classic deep thought by Jack Handey: "Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like." I'm in the IRSAM office, which, I should clarify, I am not a member of, and haven't really been involved in beyond keeping certain members the secretariats from doing anything productive in life, and teaching them valuable lessons about how to waste time surfing websites and playing sextris.

Watched a Buffython while studying yesterday. That show has some of the best quotes ever!
Anya (about Joyce's death): "But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens, how we go through this. I mean, I knew her then she's... there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid! And Xander's crying and I'm talking and... and I was having fruit punch and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she'll never have eggs or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one can explain to me why."

Also, the best TWoP line ever: "Tru heads down the hall and yes, we're going to go through this all again. She looks around the hallway, like she doesn't know exactly where the voice is coming from. No, it's not coming from the ceiling, Tru. You're not going to go back a day to save a fluorescent tube from dying." (from a Tru Calling recap)

Pasha's inciting a big ol IRSAM purity test madness.. yet she misnamed the teams.. HER TEAM should really be the one that lied to get a lower purity test score, 'cuz I don't believe there's any sensible way she got 51%. Oh well, she can have her fun :D

Moo. I gotta go study, but I'm still psyched for Gerts.. anyone interested, lemme know!!!

"HAVE YOU GOOGLED HER YET?" "WIL, SHE'S 17!"

So, yeah. Everyone who blogs, go to the onion, and read the "What are we doing before our first date?" infographic. 22% report anxiety on blog, with promises to update. I love the onion, and feel like a loser. :D

You ever feel like this?

Scientists agree that you are a unique and fascinating specimen, but there are no practical applications for you as yet.

I LOVE the onion.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF LOST ISSUES
Mood: Calmish/post-irritated
MSN Name: Mr. P. Ahluwalia is going to come to Bombay and kick your ass!

Here's the thing. India calls me every day, around 3 p.m. I'm sure if I was old and lonely, this might be a bit of a welcome change from the average humdrum of daily life. Additionally, they ask for Mr. Ahluwalia, P. Ahluwalia, or other random variations, sometimes in English, sometimes in Hindi. I used to find amusement in finding techniques to tell them that we don't want any new long distance provider, in fact, we don't make calls to India. This has lost it's pleasure. If anyone has any faboo ideas for letting me know how to get them to stop calling, feel free to share them.

Another amusing link for you to check out.

OK, I DEFINITELY NEED TO STOP OR I'LL GO BLIND
Mood: Confused
MSN Name: PHEW. Now only 2 more!

OK, so I'm workin on this paper last night until 5 am, go to bed, get up and noon, repeat. I'm all done, and checking over it a few minutes ago and then I reprinted them. Somehow in the editing and reprinting phases, page numbers and headers mysteriously disappeared from my papers, and I know I saved them after that!

Come Friday, I'm all done. So happy. Oh wait, but that means I have two more on Friday. That's a rather unfortunate situation.

Know what's better than exams? Yup, that. That too. Oh yeah, deeeeefinitely that. Wait.. you sick bastard! That is so not better than exams, it's not even funny! Oh don't deny it, you were thinking it. Ok.. I'll forgive you. But THAT definitely is better than exams.

Some say I'm crazy, some say I'm strange, but as the stupid frying pan-bearing baby from Dinosaurs used to say... "gotta love me!"

EVERY DAY I BECOME A BIGGER FAN OF ESHA
Mood: Amused
MSN Name: Somehow, Le Chat dans le Chapeau doesn't have the same effect (2 down, 3 to go)

This blog entry will actually have very little to do with Esha, but that doesn't make it any less true. I love it when you start hanging out with people you kind of know more and realize that they're exceptionally cool.

Also, I changed my title (see above) today.

A couple of neat links: Article on why they should legalize it (marriage, not the herb), and Something dirty and kind of amusing. Actually, while I'm at it, here's another one.

I'm working on my take home fem theory essay at present, though as you can tell not very successfully. Meh, maybe I'll go do that now.

CAT IN THE HAT JOINS QUEER EYE?
Mood: Chill
MSN Name: A week left, and 4 more to go

So, I thought that this morning, after my exam, I could come in and see which of my associates were obsessively hanging around Shatner. After realizing that everyone's too smart to be here this early, I decided to check out the Advocate, where I stumbled upon their "Gay guide to holiday movies," which I shall now share with you.

Lord of the Rings: OK, obviously, Frodo and Sam have a little something more going on than they're pretending, but this description is great. "The story so far: Hobbit couple Frodo (Wood) and Sam (Astin) have run away together to tropical Mordor, accompanied by bitter ex-hobbit Gollum. After exchanging the One Ring early in Return, the duo wind up in each other's arms on the slopes of scenic Mount Doom. Unfortunately, the volcano is erupting at that moment. Will the magic of white wizard Gandalf (McKellen) save them in time?"

Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat: "There's always been something a little bit queer about the titular cat, who sweeps into a dull suburban home to make things more fabulous, if only for one afternoon. Add a "Miss" to Thing One and Thing Two - plus some anal-retentive drollery from Hayes as the voice of the goldfish - and you've got what looks like a perfect kids' movie for children and their funny uncles to enjoy together."

Aren't those great? I thought you'd enjoy them.

SYMPATICO DIED AND I THINK I'M DRINKING DISHSOAP
Mood: I have an exam at 9 a.m., yet I blog. That mood.
MSN name: Sympatico sucks or it would be, if Sympatico was working.

So, as you can see, this evening has been interesting so far. I'm tired, and going to bed shortly. I'm trying to fight my ISP with all my might to let me do *something!* This is why it's annoying to be comp-obsessed. Though I can be perfectly content knowing that everything's working properly and not use the computer, I can't know that things aren't working properly and avoid using it. I need it to work before I can rest.

Have you seen Robin Williams Live on Broadway? Why not? See it, now! (If you have, you may continue to be my friend... if you were before. mwa ha ha). I need either some Fuckitall or some Robitussin (see Chris Rock Bigger & Blacker). "You broke your leg? Robitussin!"

I sense a general apathy around campus this exam time. Is it because we're older, or because it's just a year filled with apathy? I still very much maintain that school gets in the way of my extra-curricular activities. Life would be oh so much easier if I could just go around and do my thing without having to worry about exams. A week from today I'll be done, and that's so weird. One more semester left of university. Yikes!

HOORAY FOR GOSIA
Mood: Frustrated
MSN Name: "For goats press one, or say 'goats'!"

I stole Gosia's title idea. I like titles. I've also decided that moods are fun, and MSN names reveal much.

I also have decided that marks at McGill are completely arbitrary. My work has absolutely no correlation, let alone causation, with my marks. Nope! It's more challenging that way.

EXAM IDIOTS

On a different note, still about people sucking though, what the hell is wrong with people? Some moron just posted on WebCT that an exam that we get questions for in advance, and get many review sessions for, is unfair and only tests writing speed. WHAT? YOU GET THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE. Who are these people and why do they not realize everyone else has exams too?

SUSPECTED RAPIST IN THE AREA

OK, so, more gross and disturbing news. There's apparantly a rapist in the Montreal area with slick dark hair, brown eyes & a goatee, who is pretending to be doing a psych study and then attempting to rape the woman he convinces to participate. I don't want this to scare people away from psych studies, but at the same time this is scary (if true) and allegedly security isn't being very helpful.

Why do people suck so much!?!??!

WHEN FAMOUS PEOPLE LOOK BAD, IT MAKES US FEEL BETTER

This is really funny.

MONTREAL MASSACRE

OK, so here's something deeply disturbing.

As you may or may not know, this Saturday is December 6th. This marks the 14th anniversary of when a rather foul soul walked into L'Ecole Polytechnique, asked the male professor to leave, and proceeded to kill 14 women because they got into Engineering, and he didn't, before turning the gun on himself.

I heard today that someone handing out white ribbons (a pledge of men not to commit violence against women) was told that it was a conspiracy. This sickens me, along with the number of men who approach the table, and leave when told that wearing one symbolizes a pledge not to personally commit violence against women in their lives.

This only happened 14 years ago. That's frightening. This Saturday, I'll be taking some time to reflect on this event, and I hope you will too.

I GOT A BLOG

I got a blog today. Ooh look, it's a blog! oooooooohhhhhh eerie.
