Oh No!!!

I got this Mickey from Cheryl for christmas. It is by far the greatest plush I have ever had. A lot of people (including me) love his large hands. It makes it quite cute. I took this photo a few days back. Luckily it came out fairly nice.

Last week was a week from hell. I tend to leave my work too last minute, so I was quite busy. This week is a little better, still lots of work but nothing as intense as last week.

Joanna had come up to waterloo so it wasn't that boring of a bus ride up. Once we got in we ate some food and I got to work...I think. For the most part the week was spent working late into the night, then talking to jo to even later into the night.

Jo is quite a bum so she pretty much lazed around for 5 days. She did look at a few places to live, and did take care of some school stuff, but she was still quite a lazy bum.

Fast forwarding to friday. Once I got back into toronto I sat around for a little bit then Justin and Jon came by and we both headed to justins house. Justin lived at Woodbine and dansforth I think so it was quite a long ride. His house was quite nice, I really like the fact that it was an old style like house. I was playing on Sean's Nintendo DS for a little bit. Justin had a game called brain age which was damn crazy. Me Kevin philip and nelson couldn't get enough. However when the guys started playing poker I joined in. Mainly because there were a lot of people playing the DS.

Poker was okay as always. Daniel was struggling a fair bit at the beginning. Luckily I quickly took him out of his misery. After that I was doing pretty good for the last chunk of the game. Afterwards I took out Adrian then I think Jimmy took out kevin. In the end I made $10 which would later go to pay for developing some film.

After poker we played some Halo. Sean is a tank at halo. At one point it was like 5 on 1 and he still throughly trashed us. The score was around 50-20 or something. After a few games like that some people slept over at justins while the others headed home. I had a doctors appointment so me philip and kings went home.

Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. After my doctors appointment I went home and sat around for a bit. Then my brother drove me to shoppers to pick up my film and medicine. Once I finished my business I went to go visit cheryl.

Cheryl had recently gotten two pretty cute guinea pigs. I am not that big a fan of pets. Currently the greatest pet I have seen is probably Sean's dog. It didn't bark at me, and looked cool. Anyways these guinea pigs didn't do much when in the cage but were a little crazy when they were taken out. I called cheryl crazy a few times for getting these guinea pigs and then we got some mcdonalds. After eating our mcdonalds we went back to cheryls, talked for a little while longer then I had to head home.

Once I got home I mowed the lawn and did some slight gardening. Soil is damn disgusting. After I finished the gardening I took a shower and awaited the arrival of my cousins so that we could play settlers.

I will not say much about settlers because it was quite shocking we were throughly trashed by my cousin. Needless to say it was a big upset to us all.

After settlers I helped raymond film some scenes for a project then called it a night.

Today I woke up early to make sure I was ready to get a DS lite. Once we got to best buy I went straight to a man in blue and asked for a DS lite. I luckily managed to get one. Later on I would find out that bestbuy only had 4 so I was quite lucky. Anyways I bought tetris and Mario, both of which are stellar games. Shawn and simon seem to really enjoy mario. I personally thing tetris will be quite crazy when I have time to play a bit more of it.

Well now I must get back to some intense calc review. God I hate rotational volumes.

Oh No!

I took this photo of Amy while at waterloo. I was talking to Andrew and Ian about my camera and told them how you don't really need to look through to take a photo. So I kind of just focussed it and let the camera rest on my shoulder then just took this photo. I don't know why but I like this photo.

The last week has been pretty uneventful. I recently had a quiz in my jap class which I think I did okay on. My other classes are coming along okay as well. Calc is still pretty crazy those, rotational volumes scare me.

Thursday my ear became super blocked and now I am quite deaf. I can't remember the last time it was blocked this bad but its quite annoying.

Friday I got into toronto and went out for dinner. After dinner we went to Ryans to play some poker. After a long grueling 4 or 5 hours I won a whopping $3.

Saturday I helped elaine with some math homework for a short little while. Not exactly sure how helpful I was. Most of the problems she had dealt with graphing and it had been so long since I did graphing problems. Also the way her book explained how to graph functions seemed stupid. It involved like drawing a bunch of graphs then using logic to figure out how the curve would look, I looked at that and simply said WTF!

Once we finished with math we talked to some people online. After doing this for awhile Elaine had to head home and I needed to work out how we were going to get to Sean's house for his party. After much of a struggle and calling various people we finally made it to seans house.

Sean's party was quite nice. He has the coolest dog I have ever seen. I walked in and it didn't bark. That alone makes it the greatest dog in the fucking world. Also that dog was damn big, it looks so cool. It was tired for most of the night though because it was quite loud, I guess it couldn't get any sleep.

Sean's party was quite fun, people were watching movies, some were playing poker, lots of people talking. Great time indeed. It was funny seeing redford partially drunk. It was also funny seeing elaine and vanessa pestering both philip and redford about women.

After seans party redford wanted some tim hortons so we all went. We just sat around and talked for a while. Its always nice to just sit around and talk. I took a few photos which also made the night great.

After a long night we all headed home and I went straight to bed. Today will probably be a very relaxed day, most likely catch up on some algeo before heading up to waterloo.

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.
