Tomorrow I'm seeing another FantAsia movie. I'm very excited. I drew a b-day card for someone at work, and now people make fun of me, and call me "the artiste." It's funny for now, but it could become annoying really fast. Anyway, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm very optimistic right now... I dunno why. Maybe I overdosed on Jelly Belly's or something.

Today, a friend came back from Korea, and she remembered my birthday! She got me a huge box of jelly beans and a doggy keychain. The Jelly Belly's are incredible!!! The flavors are SO real. I can't believe they make popcorn-flavoured jelly beans.
I won a $35 gift certificate from the bookstore! I took part in a contest for the naming of our newsletter. I came up with "Need To Read," which I thought was kind of lame. I can't believe I won for THAT. Most of the floor managers came to congratulate me. They're all women. I was very afraid. I thought I was finally getting fired for about 2 seconds... no such luck. I'M A WINNAH!
I also killed four HUGE ASS flies that somehow found their way to the home's basement this evening. That is all.

I just realized that there's no way in hell I'm gonna finish reviewing for my supplementals. There's NO TIME! Crap... if I fail those too, my GPA is gonna make a hole through the floor. And I don't mean it in that fake way those pussy princesses do: like oh my God I'm down from 3.7 to 3.69. I'm talking under 2.0 here!
I came across a Biochemistry textbook I'm supposed to use next semester. Bad, BAD news! Besides the fact that it's around $160, it seems to mix together Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry in one demonic subject. I'm screwed. You know, in a way it's good to be busy like this, especially if you don't have a personal life. You forget that you're a loser, and you just go around telling everyone including yourself, "I don't have time for relationships!" :)

I biked a lot today... At some point it started raining, and I was singing "I've been biking through the raaaain" in my head just like Mariah. I think I completely destroyed a pair of shoes. Oh well...
I've also trimmed my chest hair today. I'm SURE eveybody NEEDS to know that. It's such a bizarre experience. I was looking at myself in the mirror, and it was as if someone else was staring back at me. The hair is mostly gone, and numerous ecosystems of do-you-really-wanna-know's have gone down the drain with it. I haven't actually seen my chest in YEARS! I was terrified of having developed a third nipple, but thankfully that didn't happen... yet..., but I can feel it poking under my skin--it wants to get out!#$%^*@!

Inner Senses was SO bad! It was another ghost story that didn't make much sense, and it was far from scary. In fact towards the end everyone was laughing because the whole thing was just too ridiculous. The main guy kisses the zombie/ghost of his dead girlfriend, and some of the green make-up rubs off on his face. Also, whenever the ghost moves, it makes the EXACT sound of an old wooden door in the wind--TOO FUNNY!!! Too bad *this* was Leslie Cheung's last movie (he commited suicide earlier this year) cos it stunk.

The Eye was a total ripoff of The Sixth Sense with a Final Destination twist at the end. It's about a blind girl who starts seeing ghosts after an eye operation that restores her vision. I liked it mainly because it looked REALLY good. It was as if it was filmed in Hollywood. It was filled with creepy corpses--some of which floated all over the place--, but it was more exciting than scary. The woman playing the main character is really pretty AND talented. Although the programme said the movie was Taiwanese, I think it was actually made in Hong Kong. The characters speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, and English so it's kind of a mystery.
The people I work with are SO funny and politically incorrect! After one guy asked another, "So Viagra is for older men who can't get it up," the second one replied, "No, it's because older women are so fucking ugly!!!" AHAHAHAHAHAH!

Resurrection Of The Little Match Girl was so BAD... but in a good way. We laughed with tears from beginning to end. It was a total ripoff of The Matrix, Tomb Raider, Leo The Professional, T2, and I'm sure tons of others. The best characters were the lesbian Lara Croft who was actually a MAN--yeah baby !!!--, and the Match Girl who kept on trying to sell lighteru (lighters) to mean people who, instead of buying some, constantly suggested that she should sniff the gas in them and just die (AHAHAHAHAHAHA). The was also a character called Fishcake who... was selling soup... pretty much. During the climax of the movie, the main guy tries to save the Match Girl by using a toy gun! Korean movie GET!

Resurrection Of The Little Match Girl--Korea
The Eye--Thailand
Inner Senses--Hong Kong
Double Vision--Thailand/USA
Anatomie 2--Germany
I may also go to:

Tina Fey, the co-host of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live, is presently in Montreal for the Just For Laughs festival. I just found one of my favorite "news bits" she had on SNL.
"Prostitutes in Lyons, France, sent a fax to the government to complain that they are losing business to Eastern European women who are protected by the Albanian mafia. Okay, first, how rough-looking are these French prostitutes that all their customers are running to the Albanians? Secondly, why did they send a fax, and from whence? Do they have a fax machine in the whorehouse, or did they all trundle down to Kinko's:'You fax zese, I'll let you shave me.' Thirdly, how come French whores know how to work a fax machine, but every time I try to use it, I hit Powersave or I forget to dial 9? This just proves what my boyfriend always says *staring into the camera*--that I am dumber than a French whore."
In other news, I just finished reading an article on Yahoo about a woman from Alabama who won a Worst Writing award for the beginning of her imaginary novel. She wrote:
"They had but one last remaining night together, so they embraced each other as tightly as that two-flavor entwined string cheese that is orange and yellowish-white, the orange probably being a bland Cheddar and the white ... Mozzarella, although it could possibly be Provolone or just plain American, as it really doesn't taste distinctly dissimilar from the orange, yet they would have you believe it does by coloring it differently."

I returned my electric razor today. It was OK for a while, but the insanity had to stop! It was weird... it DID have a close shave, but it would miss some hairs so I'd always have to use a normal blade to get to those. I expect more reliability out of a $120+ product, you Remmington bitches!

Yesterday I saw quite a few of those airplanes who fly around all day with a banner trailing behind it. What a nice job, flying a plane in circles all day. There was the usual birthday wish banner, and there's one where someone must have gotten a deal by combining 3 different names onto one birthday wish. I also so a banner advertising "Easy Bail Bonds."

I've been moved from cash to shipping at work, and I LOVE IT!!! I unpack boxes, enter stuff in the computer, pack other boxes, and get to play with a bunch of buttons. I actually know how to open the humongous automated door for the trucks, and how to use the conveyor belt that goes from the ground floor into the basement. MAN, I've known for ages I was supposed to be a postal worker or something like that! LOL!
My friend gave me a b-day gift. I was very upset since I yelled at her many times that I was going to throw it away if she were ever to buy me anything. It was a DVD so I decided to watch it in the end. It was SUCH a good movie!!! But I ain't telling you what it was :P Hint: It stars Chinese actors, and most of the dialogue is in Chinese, but most of the story takes place in Argentina.

Today was SUCH a nice day. It was sunny but not too hot. Everything looked so idyllic. There were Sega clouds floating above the highway, and sprinklers went off over the countless Nintendo lawns. So calm... Something really bad is bound to happen real soon.
So anyway, I wonder if I'm a tease. There seems to be an increasing amount of evidence attesting to this. I'm not prod of it, and yet I don't feel bad about it either. Hmm...

It was Italy's turn in the fireworks competition, and it was GREAT! Their last 5 minutes were insane. They blew up all their motha fucking shit yo! The sky was on fire!!!

I saw Terminator 3: Rise of The Evil Pussy Terminatrix Biotch tonight. It was really funny! There was a LOT of destruction, and the fight between Arnold and the Terminatrix was particularly brutal. They smashed each other into every wall and floor they could find. It was almost erotic! What I absolutely LOVED was hearing Arnold talk again. I was laughing at EVERY SINGLE line he said. His "acting" combined with his accent to create brilliant comedic punchlines out of the most trivial phrases.

I did nothing today. Yes, get ready for another pointless post.
I was studying Biochem, and couldn't stop fantasizing about people with whom I'd like to sleep. You know what's sad? I mean... besides the fact that I'm daydreaming like a loser. I think I've ran out of fantasies. I haven't had a crush on anyone in months. There was some potential at some point, but I got BORED! YES! I got bored. I give up fast, I have high standards, and I find something seriously wrong with everybody. No, I'm not insane! The world is! So yeah... from the look of things, I'll end up being an demented old man, sitting on the porch with a shotgun in my hands, and trying to murder every feline that steps on my lawn.
OK! I just went up for a glass of water. Mother was lying on the couch staring into void. Another dramatic performance was coming up! I knew it! I could feel joy spreading through my veins. I couldn't wait to rip the discourse that she had prepared in her head at least 30 minutes prior to my ascension from the basement.
Me: "Hello, mother!"
Her: "You know, no one wished me 'Happy Birthday' today..." (dramatic stare out the window, one arm over the forehead, still lying position on the couch)
Me: "AHAHAHAHAHA! I thought it was yesterday... Of course I didn't think to wish you 'Happy Birthday' yesterday either, but I was convinced that it had passed."
Her: "Hmmm..."
Me: "It's OK, I hope no one wishes me 'Happy Birthday' either." (smile, triumphal exit through the basement's door)
Yes. I have no tolerance for drama, and women are full of it! I don't particularly enjoy mother. I'm sick of being stuck at home in her company. Sabin's at school. Father's out with the truck, developing his alienation even further somewhere in the US.
OH, NO WAY! This wasn't over! Mother just opened the basement's door to announce that one of her friends had called her to wish her "Happy Birthday." Now, get this! I remember when that phonecall took place. It happened before I went to get water. THAT's why the soap opera moment was staged. Wait a minute! She didn't mention anything before that all day. Could it be that mother forgot her own brthday? HOLY SHIT, she's SENILE! Wait... I remember I forgot my B-day too a few years ago when I went camping. I realized that it had past DAYS later... Hmmm... Great. It appears that one of the genes I inherited from mother was the "Forget Your Own B-Day" gene. I hope I don't have the "Drama" one too.

This morning, I watched Pi. It's a strange black and white movie about mathematics, patterns, paranoia, and God. I liked the fact that it managed to be interesting despite the fact that the main character is a loner who doesn't have much of a purpose in life besides his obsession with numbers. With all of its techno tracks and grainy images, Pi is more of an experience than anything else. It was directed by the same man who came up with Requiem for a Dream.
This evening, I saw Adaptation. This too was an odd movie. The story concerns writing a movie based on a book, which in turn was based on actual events. Nicolas Cage is the writer IN the film. His character is in fact the writer OF the film. IN the movie, Cage has a twin brother. The writer OF the film doesn't. Adaptation however, does credit the fictitious twin as one of its screenwriters, and at the end there's even a dedication as if the fictitious twin had died. And he DOES die... IN the movie. Adaptation plays with real and imaginary notions all the way through. You know the actors, and yet you wonder how much of their characters is taken from real life. The writer of the film also wrote Being John Malcovich, and there are two instances in the movie where Cage walks around the set of that picture, and actual cast members pop up. Despite the confusion, Adaptaion is very intelligent. The dialogues are coherent and seem unusual because the lines sound like actual thinking people talking and not like characters. This is partly due to the script, and partly to the exceptional performances by Cage, Meryl Streep, and Chris Cooper (who won an Oscar for his role). The final act of the movie can easily be dismissed as far-fetched and unlikely unless you've paid attention earlier. Then, you realize it is in fact hugely ironic.
