Until school is over
and I just finished my last midterm last Thursday...
and I think I bombed my 2nd midterm on taxation...
how screwed am I?

Gone Wii Hunting!

11 more hours till the store opens...

Missed the premier of the Xbox360, missed the premier of the PS3, but I didn't care too much of those. I can't miss out on the premier of Nintendo's ultimate game console. THIS IS NO DOUBT THE EVOLUTION OF GAMING.
Some worries though: the motion sensors might not be very accurate to pick up your movements. Imagine playing 'Red Steel' and you wanted to slash your nemesis but it is just a second too late... you're dead.

I seriously hope there aren't other geniuses who thought of the same place as us. Boy I'd be pretty pissed if I couldn't get my hands on at least one of the four.
But obviously, if we could think of it, then others could too.... Should I get 2 instead? But there's not much profit for arbitrage. I'm not even sure if the Nintendo execs limited the supply like the execs at Sony did (which created anarchy).

I was caught off guard... this has got to be the cutest, saddest and most meaningful of all short animation clips I've seen, apart from Futurama's "Jurassic Bark" episode where I freakin balled my eyes out. Click here, scroll down to 'Futurama Season 5' and click on Jurassic Bark.

Changes

I'm bored with the way my blog looks. I'm testing out new templates and colour schemes right now. So forgive me if you do happen to go blind due to some crazy neon colors that might appear temporarily...

And You Thought I Finally Gave Up...

hell no, I haven't... good thing I wrote a disclaimer about blogging a few posts back. *WINK*


To keep you updated on the recent daily affairs of my life:

• my parents went to Hawaii for 11 days and I simply basked in unabashed glorious freedom in my house - I made a few delectable courses and ou d'oeuvres with the aid of Thomas Keller's guidance from his delightfully epicurean cook book The French Laundry.

• Dan has some temporary guests in his house - 2 wonderfully adorable WHITE GERMAN SHEPHERD PUPPIES! I have been smothered and snuggled to death with their endearments and cuteness. It's oddly surreal to see them grow substantially in length and weight and you will notice this when you lift them up, nestle them in your arms and embrace them. The creamy white fur of theirs are so soft. They are absolutely mischevious and playful, from licking and pawing at humans to bugging Rango, Dan's yellow lab retriever. See one of them here . Do not be fooled by their charming appearances, those 2 brothers have a strong tendency to be playfully ferocious (oxymoron?) with each other, biting at one anothers' necks. More pictures to come if Dan can successfully recover all his pictures which have been temporarily irretrievable due to the outtage caused by the damnable incessant rainfall/rainstorm we've been having here in British Columbia.

• I am finally GRADUATING this semester! My application is currently under review by the Senate. I can't believe its over...

• I watched BORAT last weekend and it is DOWNRIGHT HILARIOUS!(Have I gone Caps koo-koo?) The greatness of Sacha Baron Cohen is in his extremity and how he takes his Bruno, Ali G. and especially his Kazakhstani characters to higher levels almost without boundaries. His portrayals are near flawless. Sometimes I wonder how he or the Jewish community feel about him mocking his own culture and religious belief. I can't wait for his BRUNO movie!

• Come this December, Dan and I are heading to Vegas. Sin city is not exactly my number one choice in travel destinations since gambling and shopping are not my prior interests (any longer...) But in any case, its a great experience to see all these gargantuan man-made creations, and with all the neon lights makes a feast for the eyes and crazy Holga pics. You will most definitely see a cliche pic in future posts of the Fiori Di Como in the Bellagio and perhaps the notorious "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. I've heard many things of the Bellagio buffet - ultimate buffet ever. I give myself 10 lbs standard deviation. By which Dan would leave me because I'm a fat ass.
