Sigh.
So much for fitting into a size 5 by April.
[I'm currently a size 7 or 9, I think. I've gone up. :'(]
Also, Watchmen opens this FRIDAY!! So, so, SO CANNOT FRIGGIN' WAIT!!!1one!eleven1
Must... refrain... self... from... asdfadfasdfgqgq
Ooo! And there's this game called Emerald City Confidential, which is this noir-style type game set in the land of Oz, 40 years after Dorothy crashed there. (At least, I think so, because Dorothy doesn't seem to be drawn as 40+). Totally, totally loved it, but would've preferred if we got to explore Munchkin and Gillikin countries as well. I miss these ol' style point-and-click games; nowadays it's just FPS and Warcraft and Counterstrike and more FPS... If only I didn't get nauseous from playing FPS games... Oi.
Speaking of pointy-clickity games, I've also downloaded this 2.33Gb game called A Vampyre Story, but I haven't been able to play it yet 'cuzza my laptop's lack of memory space. I only have 300Mb to play about with, and also a 1Gb thumbstick, which means that I have to free up at least 4(!!!)Gb, before I can set my grubby feet into the thick of things.
[They're grubby 'cuz I haven't washed them yet. Will do that in shower later.]
I realise I haven't posted up a book-related post in AGES (last one was on 5th Dec 2008; hover over link for book title), but I've just found some of Jeff Lindsay's books, so will blog about those when I'm done with them :)
Apologies for the lack of updates. Been getting inspiration at the most inappropriate of moments (when laptop not within arm's reach, or during mealtimes, when hands are full).

I've fallen off the wagon...

Interviews...
...with interviewers. xD
[Like, doh. I couldn't come up with something that cleverly makes references to Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire, so I'll have to settle for that. Meh.]
So yesterday I went for two interviews, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. The morning one went alright, I guess, but the afternoon one... oi.
I got a test sprung on me for the afternoon one.
Since it was rather technical, I was kinda out of my element with the crapping.
Hopefully I'll get the morning one. It pays higher.

The 81st Academy Awards!
[Thank goodness I did not see no Jo Bro there. But there was still Miley Cyrus, soo...]
Anyway, ceremony just finished, so I'ma start the blogging... now:
Hugh Jackman was better than I thought, although not as wild and, um, gay as he was in the Tonys. Woulda been pretty cool to see him in gold pants again. Plus, loved the "I'm WOLVERINE!!" bit at the end of his opening number.
The star power was TREMENDOUS this time around. They got a LOT of famous and established actors to come and present. Loved that whole '5 past-winners for acting awards' schtick.
[Shirley MacLaine! Ben Kingsley! Robert DeNiro! Chris Walken FTW! A gilded Sophia Loren!]
Jack Black is SO right. The only time Pixar got robbed was the year Monsters, Inc. was up against Shrek. And Monsters, Inc. deserved that one WAY more. I'm not really a fan of Dreamworks cartoons. Pixar rules! And is actually creative!
I've never really gone for Ben Stiller's brand of comedy (except Zoolander). Humor only sunk in till halfway, when I realised he was imitating Joaquin Phoenix. And I pride myself on recognising pop culture. Sigh.
The Pineapple Express bit for Comedy was good! "Slumdog Millionaire = The Love Guru." HAHAHAHAHA!!
[James Franco is soooooo cute...]
All clips with Wall-E made me "Awwwww...". I should really watch that movie.
Seriously, what the hell is Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens doing singing on stage? Did I miss out hearing High School Musical's nomination for something? At least Mamma Mia! wasn't teenaged crap.
The music's kinda messed up. When they were bringing out the host for the post-production awards, I thought it was gonna be someone from The Dark Knight, since the music is SO reminiscent of that movie. But no. It was Will Smith. At least use music from Hancock or something, man.
Beyoncé wasn't as annoying as she usually is. At least she didn't come out and present. But then, that left us with Alicia Keys. Ugh. Thank goodness P Diddy wasn't around. Dubble-UGH.
The In Memoriam part sucked. Zooming in and out of the screens does not help the rest of us TV viewers WHO CAN'T FUCKING READ TINY PRINT!! Helloooo, some of us actually WANT to know who had passed on!! Plus, why the hell is Queen Latifah singing? She doesn't suck at it, but still. And is it me, or did I miss seeing Heath Ledger in the montage?
UPSET: I thought Mickey Rourke was gonna win. BUT... Sean Penn's first lines for his speech was awesome.
And in the 'Movies of 2009' part, where the hell be my Watchmen? Just 'cuz it's coming out in two weeks doesn't mean that it is ALREADY OUT!! And oi, Transformers 2!!
G-Force looks friggin' adorable, though :)

Hoo-ray for HOL-lywood!
Tomorrow is the Oscars!
I have NO idea how to do the 'live-blogging', but I definitely will blog my thoughts after the ceremony tomorrow morning.
[I am pretty sure the Jonai will get some screen time, even though they have jackshit to do with the Oscars.]

Ugh.
The Internet connection is so sluggish right now that it takes 10 minutes to load a page on PerezHilton's.
On a lighter note, I've finally received my CPA membership letter! Now I'm officially an Associate Member! Whee~! :D

Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks!
Apparently, Wizard Books took a hiatus last year, because no new books were released (based on the FFGamebooks website, anyway). To be frank, I'd only gone to the website today because I received an email from the Website Head-Person (forgive my ignorance on Web titles) stating that the site will be updated for 2009 stuffs. I'd totally forgotten about the books, because the bookstores here hardly stock them anymore (and the ones on the shelves are usually the older ones).
I do prefer the ones written by the originals, rather than the, um, other commissioned ones :P
[Bloodbones should've been written by either Steve Jackson, Ian Livingstone, or both.]

HammerStudy Time!
Just gotten my CPA study materials yesterday (the ONLY time I get anything via courier), and boy are they thick! Like, they give you a big-ass binder for each paper (I'm taking two this semester), six thick-ass modules for each paper, and each module has like, 30 pages.
NOT INCLUDING the case studies and whatnots at the end of each module. And exams are end of April.
Sigh. At least I'll have something to do while I'm still bloody unemployed.
