Yessiree, I caved in, and got the lovely H1N1 flu shot. Why? Because my university is in a bumfuck nowhere town, and had at last count, 10+ people infected with it. My parents both said it is neccessary to get the shot - I disagree still --> It's JUST THE FUCKING FLU. However, the ill...
So, yeah. I'm starting a new hobby - hand carving rubber stamps. I just wanted some ideas for a simple/elegant start to it. One of the sites that I took a look at had a stamp of the "screwball" Metroid symbol. So, I was wondering what you guys think for it? (It should be simple - and look...
I am done with game stores and game departments. Every time I walk into one, I get one of five reactions. I was at Walmart, and basically, the staff ignored me because I don't look like the average parent or someone with spending money. I usually have to grab a member of the staff and ask...
Quick question for those of you who live in Montreal. Got any fabulous "hole-in-the wall" eateries? Any great place for shopping? Any place for great gaming related shopping (eg. used games/dvds/the like?)? My family's heading off to Montreal on the 26th, and I was just wondering about...
So, I do drag. This means basically creating a fake penis out a condom and cheap hair gel. I have very limited desk space, so I put my condom filled with hair gel on my printer's feed tray. (It was after a dismal, depressing performance, so I just chunked it into the general direction of my...
Random topic, but yeah. Society demands that we fit into gender roles as early as infants. Our parents choose to dress us in pink or blue, depending on our gender. It only gets worse as time goes on - when buying a Happy Meal; we get asked, a boy toy or a girl toy? Often we get shit for...
My Graphic: (Capsule toy of Pikachu dressed up as GBA Temp's mascot) *Update: I keep humming "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Kandarin Demons" from the Evil Dead musical. My girlfriend keeps wanting to murder me.
I've spent the entire day babysitting fish soup instead of studying. Problem is, I'm stuck on the cost analysis portions of my course, and it makes me rather tired. The fish soup smells good - papaya, fish, ginger, and some frozen veggies at the bottom of my freezer. Not enough papaya...
- I usually donate catnip toys to a local shelter up in this uni town. Apparently this year, the shelter refused my donation because they got a shit load of commercial catnip toys from a local supplier. It is all very PR related, as the local supplier wanted the free press for doing a good...
There's a whole subculture of energy drinks. I don't pretend to understand them, but it's linked with gamer culture as well. I personally don't drink the stuff, unless I'm cramming (I just took a 5 hour energy shot) so I can focus. (You know, you wake up tired/not refreshed at all - and my...
1) Exams: either they are before Christmas or after. I don't know what's worse. Seriously, I haven't gotten into the mood for Christmas in ages. (Edit: because they prevent you from actually enjoying the holidays, and winding down into that mode) 2) Excessive food. I'm asian, so this is...
Alright. One of my courses this semester involved designing a program for around 30 people. We were split up into different groups (reflective, ice-breaker, social, physical, etc), and we were randomly assigned group members. I ended up in a group with a jock I worked with before (nice guy...
Seriously, I was entirely nervous about my exam yesterday...and I go into the exam, and poof! (Easy questions.) Problem was? I was listening to the Rent (the musical) soundtrack when I was studying for it. (Listened to it about 10 times.) I actually left the gym singing one of the little...
Think about it. You have 5 minutes before your room spontanously goes up in flames. The fire will burn hot enough to destroy anything and everything in your room/living area. Living things are spared - no one gets hurt, but you lose everything material in that space. What would you save from...
So, what do you guys think of tattoos on the opposite sex? The same sex? My girlfriend has a master's degree in art, and she's training to become a licensed tattoo artist. Basically, she has to put in 1000+ hours of work under a licensed professional. (eg. a tattoo artist) I have one, it's...
What are you spending money on this Christmas? :D It looks like an ebay christmas for me this year. Most of my stuff for myself is from ebay. I don't get presents from my parents anymore, but I get presents from the gf! :D Parents: - bottle of vodka, infused with pomegrante - fixing the...
Confession: I knew how to pick locks. These only extend to cheap ass "master" padlocks - you know the ones with the cheap flimsy key? Not too hard, as raking them usually works. So I was on the internet, looking for cheap ways to bypass a combination padlock, and came around a way to make a...
1) You can make a soda can into a masterlock opener. 2) Hydrogen peroxide gets blood out of anything. 3) Stuffed animals make kids happy. 4) Not everything on House M.D. is 100% correct. 5) McDonald's is not a date food 6) Deperation will not get you a date/laid. 7) Coffee is practically...
Most of the stuff Zimmerman eats is quite normal/Asian. Stinky (fermented) tofu, durian, weird flavours of ice cream, bugs, and lots more. Personally, I get hungry when watching his show; just a lot of good stuff. I was eating a breakfast of vegetarian (read: fake) fish swim bladders in curry...
In about 30 minutes, I'm heading off to write a 3 hour exam. And I'm bone tired - I just got my period yesterday, and it's draining half of my energy. I have 3 pages of notes, and it's going to be babble about how Canada is not really multicultural - it's just a manufactured image. I'm hoping...
