added a new section to the page!
mupic. it's over there on the right. see it? good.

CBC radio 3. The site just launched, and it's really really slick, has good articles and some kick ass tunes. i suggest anyone interested in good, intelligent music check it out. Great site design too.

nope, couldn't make it to class.
mmmm....bed....

haha, man. i suck at this.

YES. i went to morning class today.
my goal this week is perfect class attendence. it may sound stupid, but for me, an accomplishment of this magnitude is.....well, unheard of. making 9am class was the hardest one probably. no i just have to stay awake long enough to go to the rest of them.....my bed is calling me.....must....resist.....

plus i have an assignment due later today i should start. shouldn't be too bad, i'm suppose to interview someone. looks like i'll be making up an imaginary interview subject, as i'm too lazy to actually involve others. besides, that just takes longer, and time wasted is time i could be....well....sleeping.

hopefully i'll get around to taking stupid pictures this week....i've been too lazy to play with that camera until now, but i don't have too too much else to do. yay technology.

dammit, i buy headlights for no more than 2 and a half weeks and one of them totally melts on me. stupid headlight. now i'm back to my dull, yellow, blah-lights. oh well. i still have the car at least.....whew.

almost time for christmas break. i need a job...damn london and it's inability to please me. damn it all to hell.

so i finally got around to checking my exam schedule.
i have 4, with 3 being withing the first few days of exams, and then i have a few days off to study for my last exam which is on the 12th.

STUPID MIT. if it wasn't for that, i'd be done exams on the 9th. argh.
oh well. 12th is pretty good too i suppose. leaves me plenty of time to do some christmas shopping. on my limited budget. hm.....

woohoo dec 12. the countdown begins......not that i go to school anyways, but it's a psychological thing i guess?

the new furnace comes tomorrow at 7am. (about 3 hours from now...)

i'm literally shaking in anticipation. or more so, shivering.

i don't have much to do until exams now.
i couldn't be more pleased to bum around. i feel i actually worked hard for a few days. now if i can just get myself to go to class....

eep. the message board is out of control.

why is it my innocent board has turned into a forum for anarchy?
what did it ever do to you?

well, our furnace is broken.

i would say last nite my bedroom was in the range of 3-5 degrees.
it was cold. it's STILL cold now, but during the day it's just...JUST bareable to check my email and let my fingers out of the sleeve of my hoodie.

it realy puts things in perpective though.
i have a whole new respect. for homeless people.
anyone up for volunteering this christmas?

yea, i'm convinced the japanese version of the ring is waaaay scarier than the american one. it gave my the willies. i haven't been that scared of a movie since like...welllll, ever, i think.

check it out, it's pretty cool. i warn you though, it's not for those with over active imaginations. it took many games of counterstrike before i started to stop picturing the scary scenes.....

man i sound like a fairy.

man, i failed my polisci exam today so incredibly badly.
i didn't study at ALL. literally. i sat down, and for the first time in a while i actually had literally NO clue what to write.

so i made stuff up. in MY mind at least, the reason for the license plate's development of nationalism in Canada is that it instills local pride in your province. You get to say, hey, look, thats guy's from ontario too! look, thats guys from newfoundland. lets ignore him. then the ontario people party it up and don't have to associate with idiots. Thats why they're great. they're status symbols!

yes. that is HONESTLY a sample of one of the essays i wrote. may god help me....i hope whoever's marking it has a little bit of humour, and a helluva lot of mercy.....

i need to like...sleep....

whats the fastest way to defrost meat thats frozen to styrofoam? how discouraging indeed.
the little nuances of life i have yet to grasp.....

sooooo....my entire house is sitting around posting on my message board while at the same time yelling to each other from our rooms.

this is too funny.

tonight shall be stupid photo story night.
further updates as evens warrant.

went to the raps game and came to this conclusion:

the closer you are to the court, the hotter the girls are.

i'm sure there's some sort of mathamatical algorithm to calculate this theory, but i'm not qualified to do it. i'm sure it exists however.

holy, the message board is getting some heavy action.
i seems as though non-haig people are intimidated from posting consistantly.

well, don't be. OR ELSE.

asides from that, american elections were tonight, and the reds had an insane night. dammit. it's so.....distressing, to see democrats falling because they've totally lost sight of what they stand for. this is what happens when you concede, and concede, and don't stand up for your morals. yes, politics is a game, but in the end, people are going to vote for people who believe in themselves. being hollow pawns isn't conviction. i respect some republicans for at least standing by their ideals. sadly, in this sham of a two party system, it seems they're the only party who is willing to do so.

yikes. the exam i wrote this afternoon was absolutely brutal. i hope i got above 70....i'm guessing i'm more likely in the c range though. crap. you'd think i'd learn to study just a little bit more...

herb brought a digital camera up for a while, so i might be throwing some random photos and captions up, just for kicks. nothing to help one procrastinate then our own faces on the computer and a few hours of photoshop....hehheh....

soooo, lets see. i didn't get any studying done today, so i better cram all day tomorrow or my midterm on monday will be an all out asault on my ass.

on a brighter note, i finally saw bowling for columbine tonight, and i must say i was impressed with it. i think it's wonderfully well done, and it gets his message across fairly clearly, although one could argue not clearly enough. there were times i sensed it almost bordered on reverse-racism, but , racism isn't the issue mike is bringing up, so whatever. my only true criticism of the film would be the final scene where charleton heston is interviewed, as president of the NRA. To put it bluntly, the man is senile. the interview seemed to be typical michael moore fare, however, i felt it was fairly aparent charlie wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. he's an old man, and anyone who sees this scene would likely concur he doesn't seem concious enough of his past actions to realise what's happening right in front of him. I'm left to wonder if he doesn't

1) keep guns in his house simply out of habit, as opposed to reason
2) isn't simply a political and media related pawn of the NRA, doing as they wish for lack of better things to do, and lack of ability to think of 100% sound mind

i'm not sure michael moore should have included this scene. sure, it proves a point, but it makes charleton heston look like satan's spawn, spitting on the memory of a 6 year old girl shot at gunpoint. however, i would be loathe to believe, even AS the president of the NRA, that the guy has much if any say in the administration and political agenda of the NRA. sure, mike went after the most obvious, public target, but in this case, i think the wrong one.

other then that, it's an AMAZING film and documentary. i know i sound like a bit of a pawn, hawking all things moore, but he really is a great guy. he's essentially noam chomsky for the layman, which may be pathetic and sad for a few, but in my mind, anyone who is an elitist liberal, indymedia/nologo zombie snob is really everything that michael moore and, really, chomsky and naomi and the nologo ideals stand for: a better world for everyone. it's hypocritical to think getting a positive message across is ever a bad thing, regardless of how "cool" it is to be underground. so go watch this fillm. it'll really get you thinking.

for one, i'm going to try and stop watching tv. altogether. ALL of it, with the exception of sporting events.
wish me luck.
