Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

Time for the usual 3-5 day update

You won't believe me when I tell you what I'm listening to. The other day I was watching Ernest Goes the Camp, and in the middle of the movie, Ernest started breaking into song. Oh man, it's a sad song. I wound up dowloading it from some obscure website with the sole intention of making a punk-emo cover out of it. It has very emo lyrics and decent chord progression.

Gee I'm glad it's raining
There's always something to be thankful for.
I'm awfully glad it's raining
Cause no one sees your tear drops when it pours.

And no one knows the thunder
Is your heartbreak in disguise,
They think the rainy nights
What put that sad look in your eyes.

Sure am glad it's raining.
The gentle rythmn soothes the pain inside.
I'm glad the sun's not shining.
A wounded warrior needs a place to hide.

I thought I had found someone
I could count on til the end.
What they wanted was a hero,
All I needed was a friend

Gee I'm glad it's raining.
I hope the morning sun won't come up soon.
As long as it keeps raining,
No one knows my heart broke right in two.

I thought I had found someone
I could count on til the end.
What they wanted was a hero,
All I needed was a friend

Sure am glad it's raining.
I'm awfully glad it's raining


I won Disgaea on ebay! Yay! That's one more game to put on the gaming backlog. I'm a little stuck at the Velius battle in FFT, but I could stand to level up a bit. Once I beat it this time, I want to try doing another game with non-generic characters. Hurrah for more gamesharking.

Last night I went to see House of the Flying Daggers. I guess it was ok, but if I'm gonna watch an import film, I'd rather see more action than love. There were still some good fight scenes, and the story was pretty good. I wish these other goddam movies would download already. I've had about five or six sitting on my download queue, but nothing wants to connect.

I think my best option for accomodations next year is Columbia Lake Village (formerly known as CL Townhouses, which was often referred to as the CLT.."Man, I hope I don't have any trouble finding the CLT"). It's the best priced of all my options, plus it's in a student community, once again giving me a gleam of false hope for making friends next year. Since there shouldn't be any first year students, I'm hoping I don't get paired up with people who think University is all about going out and gettig shitfaced. Of course, there are more than enough upper years undergrads who still think that.

On Friday I went to Mississauga to visit 'the family' (consisting of my sister, John, Maria and Gennie). Gennie's rabbit didn't shit on me this time, and Maria's cat didn't wake me up in the middle of the night (it's a friggin' zoo there). We watched The Forgotten, and I hope someone erases it from my memory. I had some Cajun Chicken Alfredo that was lacking good cajun flavor, and good alfredo sauce. Still better than anything I'll find on the menu here, so I'm bloody thankful for it.

Driving back the next day was nerve-wracking. The roads were snowed over, and a few times I could feel my anti-lock brakes kick in. However I arrived alive, so yay.

Well I've gotta get this stats assignment out of the way, so I can play FFT.

Listening to... Iron Maiden - Blood on the World's Hands
Link of the moment... omg!!1! Pictures of the CLT online! HAWT!
