Year's Best

As 2009 comes to an end, I find myself thinking about all the good stuff I got to enjoy throughout the year. I've compiled a list (in no particular order) of my Top 10 of Everything 2009:

1. Trip to Disney World
2. Lady Gaga's Bad Romance
3. Where the Wild Things Are
4. "Charlie bit me"
5. Misfits (TV Show... Not the band!)
6. Dexter
7. The xx
8. Glee
9. Up!
10. Florence and the Machine - Dog Days

Cheers

'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

Bill Nye the Science Guy

Wow, I almost forgot I even had a blog... I guess I've been really busy since the last time I updated. I don't think much has changed since then though- I'm still in school (taking Chemical Engineering), still working on weekends (at T.Bell Transport), living in sketchy Wahnapitae and still driving my cute little truck. Speaking of which, I put Adam on my insurance and now I pay much, much less a month which is pretty sweet ass.

Halloween is coming up fast and we're going to a party at our friends' house. I have a few more things to pick up for my costume then I'll be all set.

My birthday is also coming up, two days after Halloween. I can't wait to turn old!

Midterm marks are up. I'm doing fairly well so far. My marks aren't as high as I would have liked, but oh well. I'll just have to try harder from now until the end of the semester to bring them up. I have a B in one class and that is just not acceptable. I like to think the reason my mark is so low in that class is because there is no text book so when it comes time for a test, we have nothing to study except what we have stored in our memories.

So here are the marks I'll be bringing home to meet my mother:

General Chemistry 84%

Chem. Lab 95%

Technical Mathematics (with Calculus) 91%

Physics 90%
Computer/Multimedia Apps. 100% (Adam will be so proud)
Mineral Processing 78%

Should I Fix You Some Sandwiches?

Tomorrow morning I officially start my post secondary career for the second time after an unsuccessful first try at it three years ago. I had to write a math test Friday afternoon to determine if I'll be taking the short or long bus to school every day and I also had the opportunity to see what the rest of the kids in my class look like. There are three girls from Espanola (one of which I know and one I only recognize from high school), a hermaphrodite (not sure what it is yet), and twenty-two Thurman Mermans. It should be an interesting year.

Happiness Hit Her Like a Train on a Track

Lately I've been in pure love. With what, you might ask? I'll tell you...

1. Vivanno Smoothies from Starbucks - Not just an ordinary smoothie, let me tell you... They are delicious! There are currently only three flavours to choose from (strawberry banana, banana chocolate, and orange mango banana). They are made with real fresh fruit, whey protein and fiber powder, and fresh milk. Yum. I recommend everybody run (literally) out and try one for yourself!

2. The Body Shop's Japanese Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette - A really light, pretty scent. I want to soak my entire body in it!

3. Softsoap's Pink Grapefruit Splash Body Wash - Awaken your senses and leave skin feeling fresh and revived. Enriched with natural grapefruit oil. The smell is scrumptous! I highly recommend it.

4. Brie Cheese - I could eat it with every meal, every day. It's best melted in a sandwich with sliced cucumber and alfalfa sprouts. Delish!

5. Dog Days by Florence and the Machine - My favourite song right now. I've been listening to it on repeat for the last few weeks and haven't gotten sick of it yet. I love her voice. If I was a singer I'd want to sound just like her! The song itself also kicks some sweet hiney! Definitely check it out if you haven't already.

Food for Thought

It's true, the early bird gets the worm. But then again, so does the late bird and the bird in-between because by design, there are always more than enough worms. In fact, the only bird that doesn't get a worm, is the bird that doesn't go out to get one.
