ZOMG WAT

THAT’S RIGHT. NEW POST.

You all probably thought i fell off a bridge into lava and was promptly set upon by the lava piranha eels or something. WELL THAT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. AND I’M MUCH BETTER AND WISER NOW.

It’s reading week, which means i have slightly less time to myself than i normally do. (That’s a lie. I have time to myself all day erryday. I just don’t use it prudently.) Lots of super exciting and fun stuff has happened since i last posted, which is to be expected in a month and a half :P. First, as i already mentioned, it’s reading week! The only bad part is i got a shiny new assignment in all of my classes which i promptly threw into the corner while i played video games for 2 3 days. During that time, there was a grand fishing tourney in WoW. We caught like a zillion fish, and i ALMOST WON. but i had to leave right at the end to get a certain brother of mine from work, so i got second :/

Another fun thing that is happening is the CS Games, it’s this big competition based around computer science, it’s in Montreal this year. When i say “big” I actually mean “HUGENORMUNGANTIC”. There’s going to be people from big companies like Google and Microsoft there! We shot a video this week to introduce our team. It’s funny, all the nerds are like “we’re going to act gangster, and it’ll be so cool!” and then none of us actually know how. It’s sad, we stood there awkwardly wondering what actual gangstas look like.

Super busy

SO, as you may or may not have guessed, I have been very busy this past month. I meant to post over the break sometime, but i ended up being occupied by this or distracted by that or something to that effect. After the break, it got even crazier. My grandfather passed away, so between the funeral and seeing my extended family all in town, i was totally occupied again! It’s kind of funny, having any amount of my family members in the same place really sets them against each other. Someone put it best “Nothing pulls a family apart like a funeral”. Personally i think it’s because everyone deals with grief and loss differently. With me, I like to distract myself with other things, while other family members prefer to not leave their beds or try to take charge of everything…

My new courses are all interesting to say the least. Lots of work!

Yesterday, I got to see the premier of The Green Hornet, starring Seth Rogen. It’s a cool movie. I think it was really well done, for a Seth Rogen movie, which i am not the biggest fan of. On that note, it’s pretty typical of a Seth Rogen movie in terms of humour, and also on par with superhero movies in terms of plot and special effects and all the other film stuff you can think of. I recommend seeing it. I specifically put this review here, the day before it actually comes out so i can get some mad hits ^_^

World War in the World of Warcraft

The new WoW expansion came out on Monday. For you girls and other people who don’t know what that means, it means there is new stuff for me to do in my favourite video game! This is very good/bad news. Good because YAY NEW STUFF

I went to the midnight launch at the mall, it was really exciting, i’ve never done that for anything before! I got all sorts of free stuff, like a mouse pad and trading cards and a poster!

Bad because exams are right around the corner. I’m conflicted between my responsibilities and my non-responsibilities. I studied diligently leading up to Monday, then on Monday i finished off all my assignments and on Tuesday i played WoW! It was super cool! Though there were a lot of people everywhere. It was kind of annoying because there weren’t enough monsters for everyone to kill so everybody was fighting over them. I played enough Tuesday that i got ahead of most of the masses, but i missed supper, so i was sleepy by morning. Then i slept for a little and the rest of people caught up a little. Now i’m still ahead of most people, by the time i’ve almost finished with a place there’s a huge crowd of people that come into it, it makes it rather stressful. I play a priest, and they don’t wear lots of armor so i get killed by other players a lot if they all come and get me. It makes me really sad. Maybe i should relax and do exam stuff to make me less stressed. How ironic…

My exams shouldn’t be too terribad. I studied all weekend so i’m really prepared, and they’re close together so i can just hunker down and focus for ONE WEEKEND and then i’ll be pretty much in the clear.

Doldrums of insanity

The Doldrums is a place in the ocean where there’s no current, just calm.

Which is why i’m posting here and now! It may be quarter to one, but that’s okay, because now’s the best time to post.

It snowed here! A lot! It snowed for days, and then it was cold and blowing snow everywhere. Today it was just cold. It’s pretty exciting too, it’s like real life winter!

And it was busy too. The new WoW (stop that. This is my blog and i will write about what i want. Now keep reading.) is coming out in like 2 weeks, and i’m super excited! ALSO exams are coming out in 3 weeks and i’m considerably less excited. So, basically i’ve been trying to do as much school work as possible and play as many video games as possible at the same time. Not EXACTLY the same time though, otherwise you go crazy.

Also, my ankle is pretty much better! I think i wrote that in the last post too, but now it’s better all the way. I don’t have to go to athletic therapy anymore. Though it hurts today because i was running around catching buses in the cold, and jeans, and sneakers, and snow yesterday. LIKE ALL DAY.

This week i had 4 assignments and a midterm. I also explored the entire world in wow, just to see it before it gets broken. It was pretty fun, although i didn’t sleep much. Three thirty is a tad ridiculous to go to bed.

I’ve also been playing with HTML tags, see if you can find some in the post!

I really did mean to post!

like 2 weeks ago! But instead i decided to have a “WOW WEEKEND”. I made that term up by the by. It’s a weekend where  one sits in a room all weekend and levels a character the last little way to 80! except it wasn’t the last little way, it was like 5 levels in 3 days. That was pretty exciting. Then there were midterms, and Halloween. Halloween is gone, but the memory is still here, because the ghosts killed a lot of people ._. Midterms are gone too, and now i can breathe. Also, i hurt my Achilles a couple of weeks ago. it’s been interesting. i’ve been going to athletic therapy, and getting better, slowly. the first time i went they sat me in the warm tub. It’s like a hot tub but not really. Then they tested how flexible and strong my foot was. Then they gave me a massage, then they did an ultrasound on it, to loosen up the muscles. After that they did “soft tissue”, which is where they move my leg around like walking for me. They also did “stim”, which is where they hook two electrodes up to you and run a current through your skin to make it feel weird. It felt like my foot was asleep, and i’m sort of sure it was twitching. The next time we did some stretching and exercises instead of ultrasound and stim. then they gave me ice. Today was the third time, my foot was hurting a lot today, so we only did a few exercises, then stretched and stim and ice. It’s getting a lot better though! I can walk and do stairs and run without limping!

*SINGING NOISES*

So i really can’t sing to save my life. But that’s beside the point.

Instead, i’ve been seeing people who CAN sing do so. A little while ago i saw Arcade Fire, with my friend Sarah. It was good. they had a lot of drums and instruments. Then they were singing about cars.

Today i saw Lights (!) I don't really listen to her ever. But my brother is a fan, and he needed a ride and his friend bailed on him, so i got to go for free! It was good too. There was a LOT of girls there, who were like 12 years old. She sang some songs, and then she played the keytar. It was pretty good. I'm listening to her on youtube right now, and she was a lot better live. She was all "HAY GUISE, I HAVE THIS NEW SONG FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO LOLS" and it's been out since tuesday, and it's only available in canada right now! Wheeee... I've also got a lot of homework, so i've been trying not to be distracted :/ IT'S GOING POORLY.

I had a pretty good system going…

Except for when i forgot to include all the stuff that people i know would do to ruin my schedule! It was seriously a great schedule, do homework ALL weekend, and then during the week i wouldn’t have to worry about any of it until friday. BUT then some things happened and some stuff. That’s all in the past now, so it doesn’t merit a real mention here. Since i last blogged, i did a lot. You probably could have figured that out though, because i didn’t blog for a while. I seriously meant to though! I was like “OKAY. Later i am going to write a bloggity blog” and then i was like “i’ll do it later. After this thing.”

I started doing all sorts of things too, Winter stuff is starting already, like skating. I also started yoga! It’s quite fun, and i feel really good afterwards. And i’m almost free from warcraft again! I’m at level 72, and once i get to 80, i’ve promised myself i’m stopping. At least until the next expansion comes out in december. In the mean time there’s all sorts of fun diversions to do. I could study, or play other games, or run or hang out with chums or do any number of things. One of them is going to be Minecraft, for sure. Minecraft is a sweet game, that normally involves bad decisions, which have hilarious repercussions

That’s basically why i want to play. The game isn’t even done yet, and it’s already made $5 million. Which is a very large amount considering that’s been split between probably like 5 people.

I also got “elected” to the computer science student association! Well, not really. I put my name in, and there were 6 people running for 5 positions, and i was the only 2nd year, so i didn’t even have to run. Everyone got in anyways, cause 4 of them are leaving in january for co op.

That’s about all i can think of right now. I have a big pile of homework to do over the next couple weeks, but i’ll try to stay regular in posting.
