Weee New Years

So this is the new year

And I have no resolutions

For self assigned penance

For problems with easy solutions

Yes, it's that time again. A New Year is almost here. Everybody is going to make those resolutions that they just won't keep. And the gyms will rack in a pretty penny while most will start memberships at their local gym as a new year resolution to be healthy and stay fit. I'll be honest, I've been just as guilty as the last with not keeping resolutions. So this year, I'm not making any. I shouldn't need a new year for me to want an excuse to change some part of myself or my life. If I want to lose weight or be more organized then isn't any day of the year a good time to start?

Shouldn't the days before an exam be spent studying??

Friday --- 4 Days till exam

Had lunch with Julia! She's leaving soon for New Zealand
:(
and
mmm. even knowing that Saturday evening and all of Sunday will not be spent studying psychedelic drugs...my lack of self-discipline allowed myself to be found at the Ceeps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday --- 3 days till exam

Yes, Mel and I made shirts for the Sens vs. Leafs game on Saturday; which we wore to JACK's to watch the game! with a couple of our friends...had some delicious wings, beers, nachos....mmm.

Even with intentions of going home to study after the sad sad loss of the Leafs against the Sens...we continued to drink...and it was 1am before I found myself at home. Boo...the studying of Death as an altered state of consciousness was not about to happen that night

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday --- 2 days till Exam

Spent the whole day with Michael for the 6 m-er! Brunch at Symposium, watched Just Friends, which was actually really entertaining. Anna Faris is hilarious in it and at times, if you freeze-framed the movie, she looks IDENTICAL to Britney Spears. Her song "forgiveness" is so annoyingly catchy...to listen go here. and the line of the movie is when she is in the recording studio and she is screaming at the producers that she wants to have her guitar in the track...."I need it to be REAL, I want to transcend!" hahahaha

Later, we went to dinner at Garlics and mmm it was so good!! I recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat. They played Gomez, had nice art, was a nice place for people-watching...or for people watching you...(sometimes a little creepy), and of course, the deliciousness.

Then to cap it off, we did Christmas! and watched the most perfect Christmas movie! Love Actually. mmm perfect day!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday --- 1 day till exam...

me...struggling...to...study....ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doll Size Coffin

I forgot to post pictures of my pretty little coffin that was for my murder project in MIT 234!!

Well, all thanks to Mike, it turned out amazingly!!!
Boyfriends are always so handy when it comes to the hammering of wood!!

Anyways, here it is...isn't it beautiful?
Just be happy it wasn't a YOU size coffin!! mwahaha

New Word, New Toy, New YEAR???

blogorrhea (noun) : pathologically excessive (and often incoherent) blogging.

Now added to Merriam-Webster Dictionary...well their OPEN dictionary.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The newest addition to Sylvia's technological toys. A black 30 gig iPod! I have officially joined the iPod nation...well, on December 25th, when I can actually have it!!!







---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And only 15 days until the countdown to the Year 2006.... :
Wasn't the "end of the world" supposed to be like 6 years ago??

time just keeps on tickin'...

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays etc etc!

So about that delicious Twix craving...

damnit, why did you have to go and do that...

I googled Twix in images to find a picture to put on the below post...
this is what came up.

Was it necessary to ruin the best chocolate bar ever?

Ida. B (in) Hell.

I'm in the middle of writing an essay on George Seldes and Ida B. Wells and I've hit a wall.
This isn't anything new. I suck at writing essays.
When it comes time to write them, I get all annoyed and brain cramped. I'm just not good at them. I would much rather study for a 50% psych exam.....coming soon. (eek).

What program am I in? Oh, yeah...MIT. Don't they write a lot of essays? YES. and as much as I'd like to think that this is where I should be, sometimes I wonder... I've never really done well on them, so why am I in a faculty that writes so many goddamn essays. Maybe I should be in science. Become a doctor or something...study the organs and limbs and stuff. ugh.

The more and more I think about it, sometimes I think I should have just gone to college and done hands-on stuff. That's the stuff that really interests me anyways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so I'm sure most people have seen the most amazing christmas lights video ever. If you have not go here. Anyways, my roommate showed me a while ago and I was like..."oooohh...aahhh..." fireworks styles. Anyways, we both assumed that it was done using stop motion animation. APPPPARENTLY. this guy is an electrical engineer and he spent 2 months timing all the lights in sequence to go along with the song "Wizard in Winter" from the Lost Christmas Eve album. So when drivers drive by his house, there are signs indicting a local low-power FM station that plays this song in sync with the lighting display. To read more about it, go here.

His electricity bill must be off the wall.........

mmmm I want a frozen twix. yes, yes i do. delicious.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw Christina today for the first time in like 3 weeks and she asked me an interesting question.
"What are you doing next year for living?" Which led to her telling me the reason WHY she was asking............[blank]
I guess the thought of some of my friends potentially leaving Western next year sucks. But then again, a lot of my friends ARE leaving...the ones who are graduating. It just didn't occur to me that those friends that are going into 3rd year (my frosh) might consider leaving me too. :(
Don't leaaaaaaave me.

end.
