Paparazzi shot

I often try to replicate photos I see from my brothers photo blog. I took this photo while at destiny. Simon elaine and vanessa showed up sometime after we got there. They sat at the table behind us. I couldn't take a photo of simon because his back was too me, and vanessa kept covering her face. Elaine either didn't care or didn't know.

Once again a long break between posts. This last weekend was very intense. I saw X-men 3 and I really liked it. I have been hearing mixed reviews from other people but I still think the movie was quite good. Some of the dialogue was a tad strange but I managed to overlook that.

Saturday I went and saw xmen 3 again because joanna and cheryl hadn't seen it. It was still good the second time around. After the movie we walked around STC for a bit then headed out to McDonalds for dinner. When we got back to my house my parents were holding a party. So I was often running up stairs and downstairs because I would talk to my cousins then go upstairs and talk to nelson and amy. Saturday was a great night. Sadly I had missed a great game of Settlers with my cousins.

After everyone had left. Amy and I had talked for quite some time that night, I told her various stories from highschool. Telling stories are fun, but I am still quite bad at it. Redford is still the greatest story teller. He can make the most serious of events almost comical.

Sunday was pretty laid back. I had driving in the morning, struggled as always. After driving ryan took me amy nelson jessica to Pmall. I got some chocolate and walked around for a bit. I also got some pretty bad chocolate bubble tea. I think I will just stick with banana.

When we got home amy needed to get some gum so we walked to mini mart, picked up a pack then went home to pack up things. Now I am back in waterloo burning up. It is quite hot. But I have been trained well. My house use to be around 35 or so afew years back. I should be okay this summer. Not sure how simon will handle it though.

Ram sitting around

I have no idea when I took this photo but I am certain it was quite a long time ago.

Once again another long break between a post. Last week was nothing too special. The weekend was fairly exciting though. Friday Ian drove us back up to Toronto. When I got back I met up with a few of the guys and we got dinner. After dinner people came back to my house and we sat around and talked for a little while. Pretty boring day and very tiring.

Saturday was more interesting. After waking up I was suppose to meet up with cheryl for breakfast but we were both bums and neither of us woke up. Instead of breakfast we decided to just get lunch at STC and watch a movie.

I met up with cheryl and we got some mcdonalds (we planned to get this for breakfast) and talked for a little bit then quickly rushed to go see Over the Hedge. The movie was really good. At times very touching, and also very funny. Avril Lavigne did the voice of one of the characters and she didn't do that great a job. The other voice actors were fairly famous and were very funny.

After the movie Cheryl and I wandered around STC for a bit. We stopped off at the disney store to see if they had any new eeyores. They didn't have any eeyores sadly but they did have a nice sale on mugs. It was two for $15 so we each got one. Cheryl got a Tigger mug while I got a Minnie Mouse mug. I think cheryl was very confused as too why I was so interested in getting that Minnie mouse mug. I personally thought it looked really cool. Also it was classic minnie which was another bonus. I am a big fan of classic Mickey and Minnie mouse.

Our next stop was Walmart. Cheryl needed to buy some cooking stuff so we walked around and picked out some pans and a blender then headed home. Since it was getting late I had to head straight home and see what was happening for dinner. After a fair bit of talking it turned out we were going to Le Biftheque steakhouse.

Le Bieftheque was a pretty nice steakhouse. I strictly mean in appearance. I don't eat steak so I don't know if it was all that great. Simon said his was okay. The dish I had sucked. Justin got daniel a little birthday cake thingy. It was pretty funny seeing daniels expression. The place was too dark for me to take a photo sadly.

After dinner we headed back to my house. Some people played poker while others sat in my room and watched an anime movie Karas. Karas was actually a very interesting anime. I am not sure how many other people enjoyed it though. I can't wait to see what happens in the next part.

Sunday was a very fun day as well. It pretty much consisted of playing board games with my cousins. We played four games of settlers back to back (a small break for dinner). The games were awesome. Settlers is by far one of the best games I have played in a long time, it is very fun. I won the last game, and was VERY close to winning the second last game.

Once the last game ended everyone had pretty much left. I got a message from nelson saying he wanted to go out and do something so we all went to tim hortons. Since timmy's was full we then relocated to Destiny. This was my first time actually sitting down in destiny and drinking bubble tea. It was pretty nice. I got a banana bubble tea. The drink tasted like this old anti-bacterial medicine I took as a kid called amoxicillin. The drink was wicked! Brought back lots of great memories.

While sitting around Kevin kept drawing all sorts of weird photo's of jimmy and penises. It was very funny. After a little bit Simon, Elaine and Vanessa also dropped by destiny. They didn't sit with us though because there wasn't any space at our tiny tiny table. After a lot of talking we headed out. We stood and talked to vanessa simon and elaine for a short bit then headed back to my place. We all played a $2 game of poker and then called it a night.

Now I must do some intense jap studying and also pray that I find my jap notebooks.

Jessica is CS Pro

I took this photo while I was at ryans. Jessica had come by to do some CS hwk. I was more then happy to help. I didn't really do much because I didn't know any javascript (the language she was coding in) but I did what I could.

Once again a very long delay in posts. And once again nothing of great interest has been happening lately. Went up last weekend and didn't do much. Just dinner, talked and some people played poker.

Today was a pretty intense day of class. Calc is getting pretty crazy. I need to sit down and do some problems. The rotational volume problems are just too damn complicated. Algeo is still pretty normal, and CS is just lots of work.

Also I have been doing some exercise recently. Today I went to CIF with Simon and Kyle, a friend from Systems, and just ran on the elliptical for a bit. My heart rate was very high for most of the run. I really need to get in shape, its a shame I'm so lazy and eat such unhealthy food.

The token white man

I took this photo of Sean when a bunch of people were at my house. They may have been watching a movie or just some random show on tv. We call Sean our token white man, however I don't know what really defines a token white man

These last few days have been pretty busy. I got home on friday and a few people came over. Nothing much really happened, just a lot of talking and a few people playing poker.

Saturday was the bbq and it went by fairly well. A few minor problems towards the end of the night but nothing that serious. However I doubt I will be having another bbq anytime in the near future.

Now I am back at waterloo and have lots of intense homework to take care of. And my conflicts and resolutions course is too intense. So much reading and lots of writing. Hopefully I won't fail, a lot of the in class discussions are too much for me to comprehend.

Only a little further

I took this photo of elaine and vanessa when they stopped by my house after they had done some drinking. It was quite funny seeing them try to put their fist in their mouth. The entire night was quite funny actually. We kept trying to get vanessa and elaine to kiss, but they weren't that drunk...They just couldn't walk straight...They could fall down stairs pretty good though

Had my first day of class today. It was very nice being back to doing math. I missed it so much. I have to do some intense calc review though, can't fall behind.

My linear algebra professor seems like he is quite funny. He is also the coordinator of the course so I expect him to be quite a good prof as well. Hopefully CS and Conflict resolutions tomorrow will also be interesting.

God I love my timetable, I have class at 1:00 tomorrow. Its nice being able to stay up late again. Time to do some math.
