Bouncing around

Oh God oh God!!! Rufus Wainwight's new album is one of the saddest I've heard in a while. *tear* I love it!!!!! Okay so going on a Rufus spree again. He has not disappointed this time around. I only happened to find that he had a new cd out last night when I should have been doing my essay. So far it's just fab! Wheeee!

I've started my essay. Just one so far. I think it's the hardest though. My topic is so stupid and hypothetical. The other question I believe will be much easier considering it's just straight facts. To think I have to write 2 essays in 2 hours for finals. Gawd. I actually have to know stuff. Lord help. Eep. The dates are hell. My brain isn't working well with numbers anymore.

Rufus!!!!!! Yay! I missed him...err well his music. Oh this is like coming home. I can play it loud too because I have my headphones. Love love love.

Great I am in a good mood and I can hopefully finish my work. I would like to sit and whine about my lack of a social life, but whatever. It'll happen for Christmas I hope. I hope hope hope. Who else is coming? The main crew will be here which will rock! Y'all come after my exams though else will have to cry. Hehe.

I need to go to the cinema. Kill Bill has opened. Matrix: Revolutions opening next week and I won't be able to go to the first show. Goddammit! Stupid class evil. Certain people won't take me either. Am I going to have to start going all by myself? Hells no. I won't even travel there alone. Ugh. There's always cable right? :(

So if you've seen anything about the Nokia N-Gage you might want to check this out. Thanks Kayode. Lol...this is hilarious.
Urgh work to do. Bleh. Also decided to start back on website work. Hum ho. Just when I have tons of shit to do. Such is life indeed.

Sleep good. Wake bad.

My gawd I feel like my eyes are closing and I just woke up. I have class soon enough and I don't know if I'll be able to stay awake for it. i woke up and felt as if I couldn't move. Ugh. *shift* Sorta achy.

Holy shit I had some more strange dreams last night. I watched White Oleander last night - even though I missed about 26 minutes of the beginning. Had been taking in the beginning of Bang Bang, You're Dead. I had seen the rest last week I think. Anyways had some freaked dreams. Somehow I ended up in Miami (have never been there) by my cousin and it sucked! There was some kinda fo weird thing going on and explosions and ... Sigh. I think I'll be going to lie down now.

Floating hermitism

Summer in Paris - Anggun - DJ Cam mix is a most groovy chill upbeat sexy song I've heard for a while. Of course I just like Anggun. I have no idea what genre of music this song fits into. It's like Everything But The Girl. Yummy.

I think I should be doing more work. Argh. I got one piece done out of 3. Done. Hmm. Not even sure it is quite finished. I feel that all my pieces could do a lot better.

I managed to get some curry for Divali without leaving my house. Go me. Uber-hermit. I tell you this life can't be beat.
*sigh* Have to convince myself that this is worth it.

This competitive bullshit, this studying, this pushing for good grades and my utter lack of social life will all be worth it in the end. What end? Is there an end? Suppose I'm dead by the end, then would it have been worth all of this? Would someone have benefitted? Would some great impact be left? Would anyone give a llama's arse?

I suppose within us all lies the need to do something, to be something, to affect.

Why are all the good movies at fucked up hours when I am drooling all over my pillow dreaming about lambies?
*peers @ schedule* Oh goodness me check this out!

Message In A Cell Phone (2000) - Three precocious boys must decipher a voice-mail message before criminals destroy the mobile phone.

May lightening strike me if I miss that. What kind of voice mail would that be I wonder? Jhags this is one for you. Hehehe.

Must...go...do...work...

I slept way too much today. Slept in late and later on had a nice evening nap so I suspect I won't be sleeping early again. Work work work! Must!!! Argh.

Went up to Balandra beach today. Yay! Sea! My nosey's burnt a little. I can pretend I have a tan at least.
Did no work. Very bad. Eeep. Bad blogging. I know.

Pft. Rich - bah @ you. Gawd everyone must see Nightmare Before Christmas dammit!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEYPOOO!!!!!!! Ok I've known you since we were about 7....that makes us how old? Uhm... 10...right? Hehe. Enjoy your day chica!

Also Happy Divali world!

Not quite sure what my reasons are for being awake. You see the time? Good grief. No one is up really. If they are they're either in Australia, summoned to do work or horny.
I have a strange version of The Doors - Riders On The Storm- trance ambient chill mix. Very chill indeed.
Blah. Bored. Have work to do. Lots of it. *snicker*

Pondering :

1. cutting my hair really short (don't fuss Arthur)
2. why they haven't started showing Nightmare Before Christmas yet.
3. how the fuck Scar has not seen it
4. how many movies I've not actually seen
5. work I have to finish today
6. fact that I can finish work because I have no life.
7. ....Moo

Adventures in the sun

Haha. I am half drunk still. My Lord it's been a while since I've had any kind of alcohol in my system. I really shouldn't do this too often. Sigh. I blame Kevy. Okay okay I poured my own cup. Shoot me.

I'll start from the beginning.

It was a nice sunny and very very hot day. I had to go develop some film. Yes I still have a film camera. *very sad face*
I needed stuff for my work that I should be doing this weekend. I got to Curepe and found out that the place doesn't do one hour processing. Had to go to Grand Bazaar.

You know how I love that mall so. So so much. *grumble* Not too pleased aboout my choice of footwear, I trudged along in very hot sun toward the taxi stand. On the way I spotted the biggest fucking rat pop out from behind a building and duck into the canal. Gawd.

By the time I got in the taxi I was almost a puddle. Ugh. Heat bad. No a/c in the taxi was just torturous, coupled with traffic along the Southern Main Road. Yech. Also realised that the fare had been raised. Actually I began to worry that it was $4 when I saw the other passengers handing over money, but it was $3. Phew!

While I waited for my film to get processed I walked around a little. Window shopping mostly. It was just a big ploy to get air condition really. Dammit. Need money. Pretty things. I did manage to get a headset though. I had been meaning to get one for ages but was just too cheap and lazy. Got it for a good price though so I'm happy. Testing is even more fun.

Skype - I'm not sure yet. I think I have to do proper testing. Stef called me for like 3 seconds. Hehe so I have to bug some more folks. Not sure how local to local is working. Yahoo is fair once the other person is on high speed. I tried it with my local friend and it was totally fucking up. We'll have to see and do further testing though. Any takers? J come here dammit!!!

Randomly

1. Explain to me exactly why the plural of smurf is not smurves.

2. Do you remember Star Wars/other character sheets and curtains to match?

This should be a Jhagroo thing - somehow I expect the so-indian bastard to reply first. *giggle*

I'm clearly feeling better or else the drugs have taken over.

Whee!

So apparently I have the nasty virus that's going around.
I was all ready to head to class and do other important business, when I started feeling nauseous and dizzy. My sore throat isn't very bad and the sniffling from last night has subsided, but I've now got a sort a nagging headache and just nauseous.
Stemitil helps.

*grumble*
Not a good presentation so far - and we're not done yet which sucks major butt. The students did congratulate me on mine but I still can't be sure. Have to give them handouts next week. That should be better I guess. Man I was so nervous. We unexpectedly had to present earlier than planned so were caught off-guard. Don't think group-mates are helping with presentation by having no point and with the info that they have. I wanna win goddammit. Grrrr am feeling a B? Noooooooo!

Sigh. They said I'd make a good teacher? Lord. Yuck. Nightmare.

Kay really sucking fleepy now. Nito mofos. I love you.

I am not feeling to post-blog, so Happy Belated Birthday Sherwin!!

Am feeling pooped.

Actually finished one piece for class! Yay! Good thing too because it was evaluated I believe. I get another week to do the other stuff so yay! Class wasn't all too bad in the end. Thankfully.

Yay James is back whee! Actually both are - sorta. Double Whee.

I was just going through my comments and laughing hysterically at Justin's. I have never quite seen an alarm in text. If that's what it was.

Yes I owe it all to Jhags for sexy tee. Haha. My so indian bitch is so cool. Speaking of bitches, I haven't seen/talked to Clegs for a long time. The bastard.

Rich - blah. So I'm a sexy bitch when I WANT to be and not otherwise? :( I don't think I've ever intended such. Uhhm... Bleh.

I hate when people are constantly bugging you for shit and are nagging with it. There's this guy who I'm sorry I ever gave my number to who's trying to drag me into some kind of business that I don't really want to get into now. *breathes* Ugh. I wish some people would just leave me alone sometimes and let me wallow in my cliquedom.

When you feel the need for your PC desktop to emulate a Mac, thanks to Rich for the ObjectDock introduction. It's very pretty. I must say. I'm not one for fancy pretty stuff but this is nice. And it's a separate program so won't mess with your startup time.

Is it just me or can everyone not see the main text on Vee's site? Woman...black text on a dark background = menoseeshit. It looks cool but I can't see a thing but the gray text. I love those colours! Stop making me feel guilty for not updating goddammit! You are not nice. *sniff* Come do my blog.

Still no work done. Haha.

Happy Birthday Matt, Luigi and Eric!

Ripping hair out

# of assigments done: 0/4
# of guilty feelings: 10,000,000
# calories inhaled while feeling guilty: 200,000,000


It's been a rough week. I think I've been going somewhat insane. Again. I know I know. School, assigments, exam. Yuck. Much pressure - more than I'm used to. It's been a while so it will take some getting used to.
I am feeling guilty for not being able to complete my assigments. I am totally overwhelmed by all of these feelings.

Today all I did was sleep, eat, surf the net, play Spider Solitaire (oh God!), listen to music, sleep and watch movies.
Finding Nemo is just fabulous. Looked at the end of Matrix:Reloaded and was falling asleep. Watching movies while lying cuddled up in my bed is not a good idea.

I think the only thing that's saved me tonight from going utterly insane is this set of junk jokes (thanks Todd) and some hunks. Ladies please bookmark the latter for cheering up any very bad day. *grin* Yes am a gapist leave me alone - I don't get such opportunities of late.

Someone (who knows himself) suggested I get drunk and laid. Yeh next week for sure right. Pft.

Setting Off Alarms

I started the day quite wonderfully with a nightmare about my exam and some snakes. Oddly enough these are not my favourite dream topics. Imagine that. I had really hoped the exam wouldn't be bad despite stinky dream. It was. Okay maybe not. It wasn't a bad exam - it was just me. Stupid writer. Unable-to-write-freak. My brain has not done this forever - I should not be excused though. *sigh*

Met up with Dre and Kram after exam and at least I got to laugh a little bit. Yay! Go them.
One other highlight of the day was seeing uber-hottie for 2 seconds and that whole smile thing. Me being as depressed as I was - well that wasn't too inspiring.

I went to try to do some more work at CCFA after a very exhausting exam. I just sat there sketching as hard as I could and not getting anywhere. Took a walk around the buildings to take some pictures for future reference (when I actually do the pieces). Lo and behold suddenly an alarm goes off. I looked around suspiciously. I had touched nothing. The guard was walking towards me with an interesting/frustrated look on her face.
"You walked there didn't you?" (Course not!)
"Why yes I was taking some pictures" (Yes and am very bloody frustrated and tired - wanna go home)
"Oh there's a beam that runs across there. You must have set it off." (Duh)
"Oooohhh kayyy"
(Shit lemme get outta here!)

So that was what the chain across was for. But still they've got to be kidding.. I walked through from the other way - and there was no sign, no chain...nada. How stupid.
So the alarm went on for 5 annoying minutes. Good thing I didn't touch anything. A girl can't try to get a good shot in peace.

I got home so exhausted. I sat down and played some Spider Soliatire - which I now understand Dars, is very bloody addictive. My cousin came over earlier than expected so I didn't get a chance to have a little nap.

We chilled and talked and watched Red Dragon. Ralph Fiennes running around tattooed and naked. Hello! Okay but the rest of the movie wasn't bad. Yes I am a gaper leave me alone.

We were watching The Animatrix and I was there cuddled up on my bed drifting in and out of sleep. Not cool. As soon as he left I dropped into bed like a sack of potatoes and headed to dreamland.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARS and ARTS !!!!
*Muuuuaaaahhhhh* I love you!

Ah you old people. *giggles and points*

Gawd am tired. Spent a few hours in the library today. *gasp*

Happy Birthday Miche!!!

I wonder though if that hot look had anything to do with my " I See Fragged People" jersey Rich :P UWI life agreeing with me? Werd. Hahaha.

Also mostly afraid of going to campus because of the bullshit going on. Actually those robberies have been common - dad came home a while back warning me. Sheesh. As for rapes - well good god. *sigh* I am the one to walk alone everywhere too. Me...loner. Gah. Not cool. Will be taking shuttle I suspect in much daylight. Of course that doesn't deter jack shit. They're so bold now. :-/ Blaaahhhh.

Ugh have class today. Have not read anything. Will probably have to write essay and find out when our bloody exam is. Did I mention that I don't like this foundation class? Can't it be done in summer when I can concentrate on it? Grr. Oh well I guess I need it. My essay writing skill aren't all there. Also have to finish art work for Monday which is definitely not going to be pretty. I expect some fuckified work. Bah.

UWI life agreeing with me my arse. *glare* Rich if that's your way of making me feel better :P Bleh! Am a loner and have no life. 0. Z-ro. Nil. Zilch. Nada. Can't remember the last fucking time I was out. Going to the grocery and mall for meetings does not count. I hope after this weekend...lol...I keep saying that and it doesn't happen.

My cousin's coming over Saturday night so that's a no-go plus I have to prepare other work for Monday and Tuesday. Fun fun. Hopefully after this midterm shit dies down I can POSSIBLY have ONE night out. Then again...who the fuck is gonna take me out? Am I going to be let out? My parents seem so very comfortable that I'm home all the time. Crime blah blah blah.

Jesus. I am fed up. By Christmas I'll definitely need a bloody vacation. Vee will be here yay! Dars too! Yay! Dunno who else is coming home. Hmmmm.

Eeeehhhhh.

Je suis d�sol�e aussi. Bah. You guys really know how to shock the blogging community you know.

I think I've mentioned this before but I figure it won't hurt to mention it again. Movie premieres on Saturday nights have become the highlight of my life. Ah yes. Last night it was Road to Perdition and The Ring. I opted out of sappy-looking Far From Heaven, but I'll catch it another time. Road to Perdition was pretty good with a good, yet expected ending. I'm waiting for more movies with unpredictable endings now.

Also of note, am addicted to Junior Senior - Move Your Feet. This song just gets me happy for no apparent reason. There are a few notes that make it sound like a Christmas carol so I dunno if that's part of it. Speaking of the yuletide...

Christmas is coming up fast. By 6pm it's as dark as 8pm. I don't think it will be quite the same kind of Christmas like always. I don't know what's going to happen between now and then. After these mid-terms I believe the work's going to get more challenging as our lecturer says. Wonderful! I do suspect that our projects will be harder and I will be blogging no more than "fuck! I'm going crazy!".

So this is what mid-terms feel like? Haven't quite had that feeling for years. *sigh* Really hoping to get a good grade. It's not like I haven't worked my brains out or anything. Must...have...good..GPA.

You are The Merovingian-
You are The Merovingian, from "The
Matrix." Wit and danger, with a French
twist. You are adamant about the slightly
materialistic things- power, wealth, posession.
Dominating, aren't we?


What Matrix Persona Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Woo I sexy frenchie? Ways I had time to do a quizzie.

You know ... I spent so much time and effort rushing my homework down (*chuckle*) and the fucking work was not graded...not till next week anyway. I have a week to tweak and to start a new project which I already have ideas for.

Woi woi it real orange fuh real. Holy shit. My eyes got a lil shock there. I like. There goes my idea for an orange site. But it looks great. I'm sorry I haven't really had a chance to do any layouts at all especially for you Vee. Sigh. Yeh ...life. Blah.
My whole bloody site needs updating. Fuck.

*breathes*
Too many of my friends are getting into accidents and that is just...ugh. First James now D and today found out about Abi and my aunt's friend. Dude. What the fuck? Grr. Thing is it could happen at any bloody time.

It's been so long since I blogged. Jesus. I've been busy doing work and stuff since last I typed. Ugh. Under my eyes are so dark. This art thing isn't easy. It's cool but not as easy and de-stressing as one may think - actually its slightly more stressing.

Design's fun. I likey. So far. I haveto had in work today for grading nd I'm slightly worried that I didn't do anything quite right, but right now I'm so tired I need a little nap before I head out. I have a 4 hour class so I'm screwed if I don't get some rest. This morning I was up at ungodly hour finishing stuff and finding and printing. Blah blah.

Stace is going for the week! I need a job like that. Soon soon!

Thursday, October 2

Mean Machine was not bad at all. British comedy is always more interesting. I don't really like being interrupted in the middle of movies though. Mom was there talking loudly on the phone and I couldn't exactly move the tv to the safety of my room.

The EFF starts today. *sigh* Goddammit. I wanna go! Dammit!!! Very cool movies. Why oh why won't they show it at Ghetto cinemas too? :(

Wednesday, October 1

Fuck well I have to wake up by 8:45 (yes every minute counts) and get to class for 10. Somehow. I'm still up! Agh!!!!
Saw Heavenly Creatures earlier which was very interesting. My goodness. Please watch it if you can! Mean Machine which is showing at the EFF this year will be on TMC tonight, so I think I'll be looking forward to that. If I'm awake! Eek!

Sigh. Have to dress in black tomorrow and really dreading it, but oh well. 1 pm hot sun. Lord help. I am gonna melt. Let's hope Kev has A/C!

Must...sleep. Yes apparently I am sleep-blogging.

Man. Interactive commerce? Errr? Interesting. Must read. Cannot now.
Beeeeeeddddd.
