Most of my ideas...
I have been so busy lately, i am very guilty of neglecting a lot of important things. For the last month i have been project focused--but i feel like everything moves slowly. I have put a lot more on my shoulders by being a bit of a slacker at times i felt like i couldnt really 'step up' but i feel like when the week comes to an end, thatll come to an end.
Today i spent all morning in the Mac labs, now im over at the library drinking a diet soda for dinner while i work a bit in Flash and then i am back over to the Mac labs. I have been trying to cross paths with my prof for about 4 hours but its been back and fourth email and apparently now hes over there all afternoon, but i dont know how late 'afternoon' goes. Hopefully when im done drawing i can go over and catch him because id hate to miss him :(
I present tomorrow for both my large projects. I am very nervous. I feel like theres more i could do but i cant stay up all night and stress myself out, its pointless. I have "until friday" but i do have to present tomorrow and i dont want it to look poor so i feel like tomorrows the deadline, ah!
I also spent way too much money on baking supplies and now i have no money for food this month :( Which i am very disappointed in myself with, i just wanted to do something special and sweet but i ended up not using over 3/4rths of it. I guess i will try to make bread or pretzel because it is easy.
For those who dont know, i am currently taking the first iPhone class available in North America.
Its very interesting...but stressful, especially when you have never worked with Mac-anything :::
... I miss my long hair ;___; |

Peachy;I am really excited for this weekend. One thing I really miss about home is the great food. I have found some good places out here, but I miss a lot...
Photo from the lovely blog Savorrasia
which is Pho. I dont really know the specific names or types...I just know that there was this little restaurant on the corner of two streets intersecting with a flashing red light and all stop signs we used to sit at. No one really spoke the same language as me but everyone was eating. It was a nice place to go because they had huge bowls and I used to get mine full of seafood and was really spicy (so i guess not really pho, or was it?). The first time I had real, traditional Pho, i remember i threw up. I dont know why. I dont think star anise agreed with me, or the flavor of hoisin sauce or something or other. I also do not usually eat noodles at all...but anyway, after that I fell in love with it.
I remember I had no clue what to do with the condiments-do they want us to just eat them on their own? I used to sit and pick at the sprouts or squeeze my lime on them, which I was happy with but probably looked goofy. I think that not too many people here ever get to experience it, I dont think 'soup' is really kind of popular in North America or at least Saskatoon, but i love soups in the winter or any time it just 'gets cold' since it doesnt seem to be winter here until it snows (then lasts for 8 months). 'Winter' has not come yet, or maybe it did a few weeks ago for a couple days but I'm hoping itll stay away for as long as possible.
As Ive done once before, I would love to make Pho again, but this time I will get the butcher to slice the meat, not try to do it on my own with a sharp knife!!! |

Let now the dead come alive;
So far its a good day. I finally got my hair tidied up, get to wash it this morning and destroy the bath tub. I am going to make some of my favorite breakfast-Toast and egg. Then get cleaned up and study, then off to the mall to do some returning/exchanging. Now im sitting, going to cook, watching 'Beetlejuice', which is one of my favorite movies since I was little. I am so happy right now :3

Will you be my...
So today I bought these. I had to go to the mall to pick up leather protector and Ive been eyeing them for a while but theyre kind of 'general' for me. Im not sure if i quite like them that much or will wear them often, so I may return them, but I figure why not bring them home and try them out.
Weeks have been very, VERY busy and I think theyre only going to get worse! I packed up and finished off as much work as I could before leaving for a mini-trip this weekend. It was a very rewarding and relaxing weekend out. I was thinking about not going but...I am very glad I did. I think I need to shove myself outwards a bit more often. There are so many tendencies I have been trying to get rid of that kind of just isolate me and stop me from moving forward, but this year seems to be very much a "transition" year.
Now of course, Im rushing off to the next projects. In one week, I have my first midterm. Its not really a hard midterm but I would still like to do well. I am trying really, really hard and finally I have projects i ENJOY!! It only took FOUR YEARS. For those of you who dont know I am in my "fourth year" of my degree. Credit wise I am still a third year (as I only take four classes usually, instead of the full load of 5), but I am in my fourth "life" year of University. Next year I will be able to take two more computer science classes and a few electives, a statistics class, and an Anthropology to fill out my (useless) minor and I will have my degree in Computer Science. Yes, I will have a degree, and yet I feel like Ive learned nothing!

Portrait of a Celebrity Nerd;
Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh. I fell in love with these! I wish I could find some more local or even Canadian website...
I feel tired already! It thundered and stormed all night in to the morning, then poured during my class. Luckily when I had to go outside, it was nice. Now im looking up some recipes to use up my yogurt and its getting all bright and sunny, what is with the terribly bothering weather ---;
My little "To Do" this week for beginning homework:
*Computer Security homework on script kiddies is complete
*Learning how to use MasteringChemistry is complete
*Nutrition just has readings, whenever
*Write two simple applications for the iPhone using the Mac simulators in the lab is not complete
*Write a simple mashup application using the facebook APIs is not complete
Totally putting off the last two..hate sitting at the university working, feel like everyone looks over your shoulders and judges your work. Facebook, i just use NXClient but...butttt....yawn.

You understand
I am having a big...major...breakdown...of some sort. No reason.
I feel like my insides are being ripped out and someone is sitting on my chest.
I feel like I'm drowning. |

First Stage
My first three "picks": Kawasaki Ninja EX500, Yamaha YZF-R1, Suzuki GS500E.Going to be looking in to some used bikes during the winter months. Since I wont have a plug for the Civic I am weary to bring it out to the cold-winters and the convertible is just not practical. I think something that can survive idle -40 weather for 7 months and small summer driving would work really well, and since we dont have another parking spot, a motorcycle is really the best option C: Ive wanted one ever since we got rid of the Harley and retired our Honda both way way back when I was really little. Mmmmmmmm.

My girls like my coffee
Nothings sweeter then seeing my sweet friends, after too long of a time and too busy of a life. Nothings sweeter then sitting around a table telling stories and laughing. Nothings sweeter then finding things you thought had slipped through your fingers so long ago. Nothings better then catching up and remembering who you are!!
No one reminds me of the person I am, who I want to become, and how to better myself then my friends. The people who will overlook all those stupid mistakes because youre you, and thats really all that matters.
If you cant tell, im in such a heartwarming, fluttering kind of mood tonight. Excited for life to gradually step one more year closer to graduation and experience more of what life has to offer. I am confident that even though things havent worked out in the past, may not be working out now, and may not work out perfectly in the future, Im a lucky girl. I am lucky, and that will get you everywhere. |

Moonlighting is rough work
Today, an older asian woman came in to my work. She was a pale, fragile figure wearing a baggy sweatshirt and a hat to cover her eyes from the bright weather. She walked over very slowly, and gave me a soft smile. I asked her the same thing I ask everyone that comes to my desk "Good morning! Whats your last name?". She said something to me, but I barely heard her. Looking up from my papers she handed me her care card. Assuming she didnt speak english very well, but knew the routine, I fingered through our requisitions and pulled up hers. I glanced over it and opened my mouth to ask her what her birthday is (to confirm) before looking down at the scribbly handwriting below her printed birthday and doctors name:
"Larynx"
I shut my mouth and doublechecked her birthdate on her carecard with the requisition.
The tired, thinly old woman turned out to be a 18 year old girl.

A very fitting story for a very fitting weekend. Things have been slow and tired and misplaced and thoughtless.
Great little series, even better third Season twist.

Little love thing, Space Cowboy. Another French artist. Talented pop mixer I stumbled across lately that really sounds all too familiar. Supercute. One of those things to listen to in the car as a guilty pleasure! |

Daft Punk is going to be writing the score to the film TR2N (Tron 2), filmed right here in my home of Vancouver, BC. I have a few friends who were extras, but didnt pay much attention. I really hope since theyre done filming soon that theyll start working on their own, if theres one band Ive always really wanted to see on tour, it is Daft Punk! |

Thought I saw a ghost
When I was younger, I saw the production of Phantom of the Opera at least 5 times before I turned 10. I've never considered myself really cultured, or one to really appreciate musical theater or theater in general, but its something I often think of as a really good memory. I remember going to the Vancouver Library in late Elementary or early Highschool to see the performance and the teachers standing in front of the nude photos on display the boys would make vulgar calls about. I remember winning tickets and meeting the cast and admiring the stage and the rafters and the details on the venue's walls and lighting fixtures. I remember being given the Original London Casts disk before, when I had just seen a video taped copy of it on the TV. I remember taking voice lessons because of Sarah Brightman.
Then a few months ago I saw Repo! at the Broadway. I admit, it was awful. The script and a lot of the singing, but I really enjoyed it past that. The visual aspect was fantastic and I literally had no past with it, except that Anthony Head often reminds me of Christopher Walken and eventually I noticed that Paris Hilton was an actress (once I heard her speak). I loved how they presented most of the characters, it felt really awkward and unfortunate and like something was skewed off center.
It reminded me a lot of the 'look' I have been interested in moving towards businesswise. When I work in healthcare often I cannot modify my business attired too much (Or other things where I am representing a brand) but I am really interested in perusing more of a classical look. Anyone in my life could tell after knowing me for a week what I like-I like black, I like white. 99% of my wardrobe consists of basic single color pieces. I dont like heavy patterns or colored detailing despite enjoying a good fashion magazine. I like solid, chunky, together, classic, defined, straight edges, straight cuts. Vogue and a lot of 'classic' haute couture big, bashful, high hair runway fashions have always been so inspiring to me. I am much more and much too modest for a lot of it but I think I am at that age now where I would love to start putting my money towards more 'serious' items or things that I want to last me a long time.
This is one of the reasons Ive really found myself drawn to Tarina Tarantino despite her possible gaudy curb appeal. Her line of 'Barbie' cameos totally threw me off guard. I love it! I have never really been a big 'cameo' person (you know the people who are) but its something that lately ive found so beautiful. Barbie is so classic Americana, and I would almost say Hello Kitty falls along the same lines. Totally wonderful. With all this though, I just get stuck on the bottoms I find C:! .
