Philip enjoying an Ice Cap

I took this photo when we had gone to tim hortons after Sean's birthday party. That was a great night.

These last few days haven't been anything that special. I got my conflict resolutions mark though. Didn't do that great but that course was damn annoying though. I finished with a 74 I think. Hopefully I can do well in jap to pull this mark up. Even though I had just gotten back my jap midterm and received a 70 on it. I still think I can finish with an 80 in the course though. I should be able to do well in the final.

In other news Algeo officially makes no sense. The course is far too abstract for my likings. I will probably be living in the math tutorial centre soon asking the tutors for help in algeo. Calc is still good though. It not nearly as complex as algeo. CS is also not that bad. We have finished up Binary trees and are moving into different types of data storage. Cs is wicked, if only the prof wasn't so crappy.

Well now its time to do some intense calc then lost magic and sudoku squares into the night!

EDDU!!!

I don't think I have posted a photo of eddu in a while. I usually have so many great photos of Edward, like this one.

Thursday I got back my CS midterm and I did okay I guess. My mark was 81. I lost a few marks on stupid crap, I need to be more careful.

After CS I went home and helped Shawn do some final packing then headed with him back up to toronto. One of my Friday lectures was cancelled so I didn't want to stay for just a one hour lecture. So I decided I earned a 4 day weekend. I was skeptical about leaving simon alone, towards the end of the week it looked like he was going crazy. Luckily though he survived the weekend and when I saw him today he is in fine health.

Thursday night involved getting dinner at BK then intense day of DS lite at my house. Kevin had recently bought a DS lite so it was quite fun. If I remember correctly we played a lot of big brain academy and mario mini games.

Friday was a great day as well, I got to sleep in later then usual and also got around to playing a lot of Lost Magic. Justin lent me this game and its quite fun. You basically are a mage and when you cast spells you draw out the seals on the DS touch screen. The better the seal looks the stronger the spell is. The game is quite fun but can get crazy difficult at times.

Later on in the day I went and saw Tokyo drift with cheryl. The movie wasn't as lame as I thought it would be. The main character had a terrible TERRIBLE voice. Like it was just god awful. He would talk sometimes and I would be laughing. The drifts were pretty cool though. This one was probably more enjoyable then the first one.

After the movie people came back to my place for poker and DS lite. A bunch of people were playing Mario kart for a few hours. I was helping Elaine in Math. I was trying to at least but we stopped fairly quickly. We didn't really cover too many sections.

Saturday I finally got my hair cut. After that I pretty much stayed home till around 7 or 8 and then I went to visit Philip because his sister had recently gotten a macbook. The computer was a thing of beauty. I installed a few programs and taught her some simple things about the macbook. After an hour or so I headed back home and went to kbbq.

Kbbq was great. We had to wait a while for a table but it wasn't that bad. I am slowly preparing for the bet I have lined up with Elaine.

After kbbq we went back to my house for more poker and more nintendo ds lite. We were all playing mario kart and then later big brain academy. Big brain academy was awesome. It was quite funny seeing how fast some people were at these mini games.

Today was mainly just the pride parade. It was my first time going and it was actually a really interesting event. It was great to see so many people show up to the event. It was also quite funny. Everyone is smiling, lots of crazy gay people. It was a little shocking to see some things but still very cool at the same time. I took quite a few photos, hopefully they will all turn out.

Now time to play some Lost magic and watch anime.

Butter on a plate

I took this photo when we went to Le Biftheque for Daniel's birthday. The place was too dark to take photos of anyone so this one was one of the few photos I had taken.

Last weekend was a pretty average weekend. I saw Cars which I found to be a great movie. Pixar never really lets me down. Some parts were a tad boring but it was still very funny. I have to say though its no incredibles, but still a great movie.

I also got around to watching Nacho Libre last weekend. Jack Black is hilarious. The movie had almost no point, very strange at times but still quite enjoyable. Jack black has some very memorable lines in the movie. A few of the songs in the movie were also quite nice, I am currently in the process of trying to find them.

Beyond those two movies the weekend was pretty laid back. I saw a lot of people which is always nice. I also got to face Justin and Sean in some Mario games. I even got to play tetris online which was wicked!

In other news Summerlicious is coming up and it would be great to go this year. If anyone is interested in attending this year please drop me a message. A few people are already going, but the more the merrier.

Must...hide...

Kevin always seems to hide whenever I take a photo of him. I think a lot of people are doing that now. It simply gives me more reason to take a photo of that person. I took this photo after we left Sean's party to get some tim hortons.

This last week hasn't been anything too exciting. I had a calc midterm on monday which I think I did okay on. Still not too sure though actually. I got back my algeo midterm from last week. I got 77 which is okay I guess but still not that great. I could do the problems pretty much but I just didn't understand the theory enough to explain it.

The DS lite is wicked. Mario and Tetris are both great games. I find the normal tetris mode to be a tad easy because of the fact that you can infinitely spin a piece and it won't lock down. This can lead to some very long games. Currently my record is very shocking in my opinion. Its probably crap in comparison to stuff I will see online this weekend, but for me it was a big achievement. Mario is really fun also, I suck at mario though so I am taking my sweet time playing it.

I have recently been reading lots of Hajime no Ippo manga. Manga is wicked. I can't wait till I get better at jap so that I can read raw mangas. Or even watch anime without subtitles. That will most likely take a few more courses. Reminds me of a great scene from golden boy when Kentaro is on his bike racing a women and starts yelling out "STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY!". Now Golden boy was a great anime, probably one of the funniest series i have seen. Shame it was so short.

Now I must get some good sleep and learn some intense calc and algeo.

Oh No!!!

I got this Mickey from Cheryl for christmas. It is by far the greatest plush I have ever had. A lot of people (including me) love his large hands. It makes it quite cute. I took this photo a few days back. Luckily it came out fairly nice.

Last week was a week from hell. I tend to leave my work too last minute, so I was quite busy. This week is a little better, still lots of work but nothing as intense as last week.

Joanna had come up to waterloo so it wasn't that boring of a bus ride up. Once we got in we ate some food and I got to work...I think. For the most part the week was spent working late into the night, then talking to jo to even later into the night.

Jo is quite a bum so she pretty much lazed around for 5 days. She did look at a few places to live, and did take care of some school stuff, but she was still quite a lazy bum.

Fast forwarding to friday. Once I got back into toronto I sat around for a little bit then Justin and Jon came by and we both headed to justins house. Justin lived at Woodbine and dansforth I think so it was quite a long ride. His house was quite nice, I really like the fact that it was an old style like house. I was playing on Sean's Nintendo DS for a little bit. Justin had a game called brain age which was damn crazy. Me Kevin philip and nelson couldn't get enough. However when the guys started playing poker I joined in. Mainly because there were a lot of people playing the DS.

Poker was okay as always. Daniel was struggling a fair bit at the beginning. Luckily I quickly took him out of his misery. After that I was doing pretty good for the last chunk of the game. Afterwards I took out Adrian then I think Jimmy took out kevin. In the end I made $10 which would later go to pay for developing some film.

After poker we played some Halo. Sean is a tank at halo. At one point it was like 5 on 1 and he still throughly trashed us. The score was around 50-20 or something. After a few games like that some people slept over at justins while the others headed home. I had a doctors appointment so me philip and kings went home.

Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. After my doctors appointment I went home and sat around for a bit. Then my brother drove me to shoppers to pick up my film and medicine. Once I finished my business I went to go visit cheryl.

Cheryl had recently gotten two pretty cute guinea pigs. I am not that big a fan of pets. Currently the greatest pet I have seen is probably Sean's dog. It didn't bark at me, and looked cool. Anyways these guinea pigs didn't do much when in the cage but were a little crazy when they were taken out. I called cheryl crazy a few times for getting these guinea pigs and then we got some mcdonalds. After eating our mcdonalds we went back to cheryls, talked for a little while longer then I had to head home.

Once I got home I mowed the lawn and did some slight gardening. Soil is damn disgusting. After I finished the gardening I took a shower and awaited the arrival of my cousins so that we could play settlers.

I will not say much about settlers because it was quite shocking we were throughly trashed by my cousin. Needless to say it was a big upset to us all.

After settlers I helped raymond film some scenes for a project then called it a night.

Today I woke up early to make sure I was ready to get a DS lite. Once we got to best buy I went straight to a man in blue and asked for a DS lite. I luckily managed to get one. Later on I would find out that bestbuy only had 4 so I was quite lucky. Anyways I bought tetris and Mario, both of which are stellar games. Shawn and simon seem to really enjoy mario. I personally thing tetris will be quite crazy when I have time to play a bit more of it.

Well now I must get back to some intense calc review. God I hate rotational volumes.

Oh No!

I took this photo of Amy while at waterloo. I was talking to Andrew and Ian about my camera and told them how you don't really need to look through to take a photo. So I kind of just focussed it and let the camera rest on my shoulder then just took this photo. I don't know why but I like this photo.

The last week has been pretty uneventful. I recently had a quiz in my jap class which I think I did okay on. My other classes are coming along okay as well. Calc is still pretty crazy those, rotational volumes scare me.

Thursday my ear became super blocked and now I am quite deaf. I can't remember the last time it was blocked this bad but its quite annoying.

Friday I got into toronto and went out for dinner. After dinner we went to Ryans to play some poker. After a long grueling 4 or 5 hours I won a whopping $3.

Saturday I helped elaine with some math homework for a short little while. Not exactly sure how helpful I was. Most of the problems she had dealt with graphing and it had been so long since I did graphing problems. Also the way her book explained how to graph functions seemed stupid. It involved like drawing a bunch of graphs then using logic to figure out how the curve would look, I looked at that and simply said WTF!

Once we finished with math we talked to some people online. After doing this for awhile Elaine had to head home and I needed to work out how we were going to get to Sean's house for his party. After much of a struggle and calling various people we finally made it to seans house.

Sean's party was quite nice. He has the coolest dog I have ever seen. I walked in and it didn't bark. That alone makes it the greatest dog in the fucking world. Also that dog was damn big, it looks so cool. It was tired for most of the night though because it was quite loud, I guess it couldn't get any sleep.

Sean's party was quite fun, people were watching movies, some were playing poker, lots of people talking. Great time indeed. It was funny seeing redford partially drunk. It was also funny seeing elaine and vanessa pestering both philip and redford about women.

After seans party redford wanted some tim hortons so we all went. We just sat around and talked for a while. Its always nice to just sit around and talk. I took a few photos which also made the night great.

After a long night we all headed home and I went straight to bed. Today will probably be a very relaxed day, most likely catch up on some algeo before heading up to waterloo.
