Not putting in much effort these days

Sunday, 25 February, 2007

I’ve realized that for the past few weeks I haven’t really been updating myself much in this blog. Well, I have kinda, but most of them are but impulsive one-liners that would do fine for twitter.

So, here’s what I have been doing. I’ve been trying to psyche myself to study, to find time to apply to more schools, trying to bail out of some congratulatory ceremony, trying this and that. I’ve been trying to run around in circles, really.

I tried more of Picnik, and it seems photojojo and theory.isthereason is covering that now. Kewl. Did you know that you can get photos from flickr, edit it in picnik, and then replace the original with the edited one right back into flickr? Mind blowing. Picnik you are teyh rock.

I was doing extensive research on Tegan and Sara, the indie band I found out through bulk-torrent-downloading Grey’s Anatomy soundtracks.I browsed their Myspace profile, their official website, their fansites, their wikipedia page, downloading other people’s cover mp3s on their songs, downloading their mp3s from fansites, downloading their songs via torrent, album after album. I’ve found out they’re sisters, Identical twins, Canadians, both lesbians, have been out there since 1995, have their songs played in Veronica Mars, Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, and they have the most melancholic voices I have heard in a while. Makes the emotions pop out of their songs, I tell you. Songs to watch for are “Walking with a Ghost“, “I Know, I Know, I Know“, “Where Does the Good Go“, and my best favorite, “You Wouldn’t Like Me“.

I have been jugging between organic chemistry, linear algebra and macroeconomics this weekend. Sorry to business students but your classes are like paid-vacation for me. I just have to say it, OMG, the kind of effort expected out of my macroeconomics class, and the grade I will get despite it, its really ridiculous. Really put us engineering students in perspective. But just to clarify, I don’t have friends or don’t have as much fun because of my own personality, not what I am pursuing in college. Moving along…lalala=)

Linear algebra’s been a bitch. I’m looking at a 20h weekly commitment and a 3.0 if I’m lucky. Organic chemistry is under control, but you can’t be too cocky with that class.

I should go jogging now that the sniffles are gone. But its so cold out there, I’m just lazy. I am rambling. Am I rambling?

What is it with people on MSN? Nobody has kept a decent conversation through IM with me this weekend. My headcount was at around 6-7 people. This include an ex-girlfriend and a good friend. Either they start ignoring you after teens of sentences, they hit “away” without warning, or their line just go dead. No manners, no cyber manners at all. Uncle Su not happy.

I really shouldn’t talk about work in my blog. Not very professionally ethical, people say.

I keep having the impulsive feeling to asking random girls out. What’s with that? I thought singlehood is supposed to be about freedom? Why its more of strangling me slowly to my death these days.

Tegan & Sara rocks! =p
I hope they come to Seattle soon. Siling would be proud of my good taste, and uh my discovery.

Photos available here. On a personal note, I really dislike people who have all the right photographic kits and yet take lousier photos than I do. And I am very bad at taking photos. Syet.
