let me go HOME!
So I am in the Mathson now, desperately trying to get some work done. Wiki is not helping me at all with this particular essay which is a shame. It means I've got to do 10x more reading than I would. It's really cold in here.
I feel kind of bad I didn't go to my Grandma's death anniversary (is there a nicer word for this?) thing this morning because I had to go to my French Culture lecture which is the most boring piece of shit but I hadn't gone for the last two weeks or so.
Anyway, I thought, I don't drink enough water. I reckon I only do about 2 glasses a day max so I'm giving 8 glasses a good go now. Damn my small bladder! Lol, I blame it on mum - she too pees a lot. It's about 3pm and I've only had one glass.
I've been addicted to Photoshop this week. I'm trying to learn new techniques but the old ones still work so well. And IMO, I've made some great looking ones this week - not to boast or anything but credit where it's due (some in the past have been utter rubbish!). In hindsight, I shouldn't have done my LJ layout right after I got into Photoshop because now I think it's shitty...and I will have a new-er one soon. Once I find the right pictures. And plus, I'm not liking the darkness of the page.
Am also back into FanaticalFiction (sad, but true). Much props to the risqué writers out there. Last time I was all over schnicky fics and now I've also discovered the joys of jawyer and wincest (which is such a clever name, come to think of it). RPS weirds me out, o.O. I'd probably be over it again next month when the real deals hit TV again. Apart from Lost :(
On a random note - Seek, & you shall find MY ARSE.
I'm very upset that I'm not able to see Simon Pegg's new movie, Run, Fat Boy, Run NOW. I don't think it even has a release date for Australia yet. DYYING to see it.
I can't park for shit and my instructor got quite pissy with me. But oh well.
Australian Idol seems a bit shitty this year. I like Holly (who left), Carl (who won't win), Daniel and Natalie (I'd like to see one of these win). Jacob's cockiness is pretty amusing. Um, I don't know what the fuss is about Matt - he's not hot anyway. And I'm glad to see Anthony Callea got some hair back.
This post is going no where...
I watched Californication twice. Thought it was ok. But not good enough to watch Idol - go do something for an hour - then come back.
Westlife are releasing a cover of Michael Bublé's Home for their upcoming album. I like that song. I like their version. But of course, it isn't anything groundbreaking. It kind of just mixes into the haze of You Raise Me Up and The Rose for me...Love them for their reliability at least. There are people who rant about artists doing covers and I don't want to be one of those people - I'm just sad that they don't have the freedom/safety/confidence to release an original track. And I would've thought they'd have chosen an older song to cover.
There's a week off uni next week, which doesn't really amount to much for an Arts student lol so I'm not that happy/excited about it.
I'm getting worried about the upcoming holidays. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm considering volunteer work. I'd want to be working. I don't particularly want to be 'enjoying' the summer break because I know I don't deserve it which is the main reason why I 'don't want' to go on the holiday to Vietnam/Cambodia with my parents or go out much nowadays even. The guilt KILLS me. I've told them to not put a deposit down for it until much later. Because if I am doing something productive at that time, I wouldn't want to go abroad. It pains me to say. But I would really want my parents to go on holiday by themselves. They need to go NOW before they get too old and too buggered to do it.
My little cousin is so cute. His parents told him to pray and ask for help to become a doctor. And keep in mind, our family are Buddhists. He kneels down and prays (in English): "God, please God - help me be a doctor". Oh the things you learn going to a Western school. I loved doing RE in primary school. I only did it because the stories are fun and we got chocolates and lollies for Easter and Christmas.
Well, I'm sure you all found that enlightening. I'll be seeing you.
