8.55A.M.

That's the time right now (duh) and because I really can't think of a title today.

My exam is just exactly ONE WEEK away, and I'm sitting here typing this while waiting for the SAG Awards to come on. There goes... three? Yeah, I think, three hours gone. *sigh*

Speaking of which, I'm highly superstitious, so I don't know whether I should start practising Saint-Saƫns' Danse Macabre. Hrmm...

Update.

Well, I haven't gotten around to updating (because I was busy and all, but mostly because I forgot to), so here's the past week or so:
1) I was home alone for five days. Really bored for a few of them, because there was crap on TV. And I gained 6 pounds from all the leftover pizza I had.
2) Weekend brought on the Heroes marathon. They showed Season 1 twice(!!) over Saturday and Sunday. With practically no comericals. 45 mins per ep., from 12pm on Saturday, till 12 am on Sunday. Whee.
3) My mom bought me a fake iPod from Beijing (that accounts for the five days). I say 'iPod' because it says so in the front. That's how I found out it was a fake. Haha. I now refer to it as The MP3 Player. It worked at first, but now it says 'Empty Disk', and I can't save/delete anything. Crapness.
4) Heath Ledger. I was really shocked when I first found out (I thought it was a hoax at first). There's never anything about him in the tabloids. I mean, I'm not exactly a huge fan of his, but I found him okay. And I was really looking forward to The Dark Knight this year (at least they've already wrapped filming). They still haven't determined the cause of death yet.
5) I went out with my mom, my aunt, my cousin, and the Archbishop yesterday for dinner. And as usual, my cousin was trying to act all knowledgeable and adult-like (he's two years older than me, but I digress). He works in a hotel, and to 'relax from all the pressure he has' (but really, I can't comment on that, I have to take his word for it), he's picked up smoking. He told us he was gonna go out for a puff, and he came back in so quick it felt more like a drag. And he says, "If you brew almonds with chestnuts, it tastes nice, because if you brew it yadda yadda yadda, etc." I've never heard the word 'brew' in so many consecutive sentences in my life. 'An intelligent person knows how to pretend to be a fool in front of a fool who pretends to be intelligent.' (Saw that phrase somewhere on the Net). The latter describes my cousin. (I'm not saying the former = moi. I just feel that he's a self-important hooey who talks too much). The other time he ordered mousse at Ingolf's and when my mom asked him how it was, he blabbered on about 'texture' and 'taste' like he was some judge in a cooking contest. Dude, 'yes' would suffice. We honestly don't give a rat's ass about details.

Speaking of talking too much, I'm signing off now.

DOS Games galore!

Okay, so I just finished Discworld yesterday (which was kinda buggy, but really really funny!) and Alone In The Dark this afternoon. AITD isn't that big, but I keep dying. Controls are so fiddly. Anyway, I threw the lamp the proper way this time around and burned the stupid tree. Yay.

I only started playing Discworld some days ago, and I managed to start AITD again yesterday. Fast to finish, innit? Is it possible that my far more superior intellect and my rather adequate knack for problem-solving got me through so quickly? HELLZ NUH! I don't HAVE those!

Walkthroughs! I Google for them a lot. But they still confuse me, though. That's why I had to re-begin AITD. My health level was too low when I got to that bloody worm. And I was so close to the end then! *sniff*

I couldn't get Discworld 2 to work for me yet (they can't find my CD. Don't have one anyway haha). Darkseed's kinda finicky. It's either using the mouse or the keyboard all the way, and I don't have those two-button mouses (or is it mice? Haha). I'd like to start playing Little Big Adventure, but my exams are coming up. Hrmm...

No biggie, I'll save LBA for those extremely-free moments.

Tuesday was the best day ever!

(And here I am, posting on Thursday. Okay, fine, I forgot to blog on Tuesday itself and yesterday!)

Why? Because on Tuesday, I finally got confirmation that the new My Chem single is going come out after WAITING since friggin' November last year. Yes, that's right. Mama's comin' out. Although I didn't realise it was Mama at first (I thought it was a My Chem single that I couldn't make head or tail of), it was really awesome to finally hear it on the radio. All 4+ minutes of it. *sigh*
(Well actually 3 minutes, 'cos I missed the beginning.)

I just love that song.

Now I just can't wait for the video!

EDIT: Ya know what? I don't think the single's gonna come out any time soon. I saw somewhere that they haven't even MADE the video yet. Tch.

Happy New Year!

Despite popular belief (mine, that is), I've made it past last year and into the next. Yes, true believers, 2008 is finally here. And what better way to spend the last hour of 2007 than by snozzing a cockroach straight in the face (or belly, 'cos he was belly-up for quite a while). I must've spent at least 15 minutes spraying the guy. Those buggers never die fast. Like Myrddraal, like Sylar. At least it wasn't one of those big Madagascaran ones. Hahaha.

Happy 2008!
