skill testing question 1+2+3+4

I am really tired today for some reason. I guess its the end of the week and everything has been building up throughout the week. I think I should get some rest! I've been getting 4-6 hours each night because of the weather or the fear of things biting me during my sleep. I've gotten a few bites on my legs/arms and I fear they may be bed bugs because I watched a W5 special on them. Then I researched them because they're so disgusting. This always happens, I stumble upon something disturbing yet interesting and spend a day reading up on them and I get all nervous about things. I cleaned my room again and checked everywhere but didn't find any signs of them. This is really annoying me! I hope its all psychological and there are no bugs hiding in my walls. It is now thunder storming and I can see beautiful (yet scary) flashes of purple (?) light across the sky. The storm is cooling everything down but I bet it will be unbearably hot afterwards. Hopefully that won't happen tonight because I'd like to get some sleep! I love sleeping during rain storms.

I got 4 tickets to see the Toronto premier of Get Smart but it was on a Thursday night and the theater was located somewhere in North York. I think it was yesterday but I'm not sure because I didn't pick up the tickets. I would have liked to watch it!

And by no demand at all, more mushroom house! (small to large!)


Apparently, it is a "Mushroom Studio" by Katie Bethune-Leamen. You can see a box of Prismacolour pencil crayons when you look through the window! Very cool. To the right is detailing of the underside of the mushroom cap. Very cool and textured. It looks like a nice place to sit under and read a book or eat pad thai or both! But its next to a restaurant's patio so everyone will stare at you because Toronto loves to do that. hee.




More flowers (I think they're extra pretty today):



Someone at work gave me candy today! They went to the candy store and I was going to go but didn't catch up fast enough. She gave me Pop Rocks with those hard candy sticks!

free sub day

I didn't do much today so I will just rant and talk about useless crap.



Today I found a coupon in my cereal for a free sub at Quiznos, but it will expire this week! So I went downtown to claim my sub. I went to the two Quiznos on yonge (one near college and one near adelaide) but they were not 'participating' in the promotion. I knew the location in the Eaton's food court accepted them, but I don't like eating in the food-court environment. Its weird, I know..I also don't like to sit next to walls when I eat. I'm a crazy. So I got a steakhouse beef dip. It was okay. While I was eating, two tall guys with video cameras came over and asked what I first think of when they say "McDonalds." I said fastfood, what would you have said? Its whack I hope I don't end up in some Japanese McDonalds Porn.

I want the Nike+Sportsband! It does what the Nike+iPod does but does not play music for obvious reasons and is simply aesthetically pleasing. Maybe I like the design more than its purpose but the reviews have been very see-sawed. Its about $55-60, but I haven't seen it in stores yet. Me wants.

rant@school library:
I don't understand how people can bring food and drinks to the library computers. There are signs at each desk clearly stating "NO CELLPHONES, NO FOOD, NO DRINKS (INCLUDING WATER)." Wait, I'll even take a picture of it. Okay, so you're talking to someone on the cellphone in loud mandarin (is there such a thing as a dialect of Chinese that doesn't sound like you're yelling?) and you clearly do not respect the quiet aspect of a library ambiance. If this setting were to be anything like a set of an American television show, then an uptight librarian in a white blouse, a respectably coloured skirt that goes above her hips and glasses will tap you on the shoulder to give you the cold, hard "SHHHH!" you deserve. Okay, its not that bad but maybe I am jealous that I do not understand why your conversation is so laugh-out-loud funny. I only understand "MAYO...MAYO..! MAYO-AH! HA!HA!HA!" assuming the last bit is just laughter. I wish I knew mandarin or grasped Cantonese better to top their conversations.

Occasionally, I would spend countless hours in front of one of these computer terminal cubicles studying or scanning useless Japanese band photos with plans to gain internet points (85% of the stuff I scan never leave the computer because I am so damn lazy). Like a human, I would get thirsty and occasionally take sips from my bottle of water in great fear and suspicion. Many times I actually walk away from my station to only spend a few seconds drinking in the lobby in fears that my computer might be stolen by someone. But that's okay, right? It's bottled and I quickly shove it back into my bag anyways, but you...YOU are drinking BUBBLE TEA. It looks like a simulated mango flavour, extra large bubble tea. Whaaaat? Not only is it uncapped but you just leave it where it could easily be knocked over and if that did happen, you'd probably just walk away. Not to mention you're at the digital media computers! You're on the only handful of computers that are loaded with programs like photoshop and that come equipped with scanners and YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK PLAYING GAMES WHILE DRINKING YOUR BUBBLE TEA.

okay.
blog edits:
a bunch of people are complaining about not remembering what my blog is about when they go to comment (it sure says a lot about my blogs, though! haaaa) so I made them pop up. In the old commenting system (but not in the new) you can click the "view original post" to drop down the actual blog post. Yey.

stupid raccoons and other stuff

Today I woke up to a scattering mess in my backyard. The stupid raccoons were at it again, pushing over our garbage cans and such. More specifically, the horribly designed green bins. Their tactic is to knock over the green bins as the clasp opens up once they hit the ground. They then grab out all the garbage with their grubby paws and gnaw through the bags, spreading crap all over. It was disgusting as the day before we made chicken broth, so there were bones all over. I wouldn't have noticed if it were not for the flock of birds that were pecking at the left overs. I encountered another one weeks ago and they're barely afraid of humans anymore! Shaking a bat at it proved to be useless. I need to get one of those raccoon clasps

Didn't do much today. Met up with Sammy. Yelled at him and watched people play Wii Fit. I think its sold out in most places. I was told the parents of some girl sued because the game called her fat. Seriously? Bah! I want to play rockband on the Wii, someone get it! Or if you already have it, tell me and let me come over!

Got into an argument with my father again. It wasn't really an argument other than the fact that I was angry and loud as most of it was just pent-up rage from when he was an ass during exams. He's unnecessary a lot of times.
