Why am I watching the replay of the US debate? It just gets me angry….. I am such a junkie for this US political crap. It disgusts me, yet draws me in at the same time. I need the new adbusters mag. The corner store I was at this morning after work didn’t have it, which is a shame but expected. I bought a 12 pack of these gooey caramel chocolate goodies while I was there. Then I ate 8 of the 12 before I got home. I have to stop eating like that. I am not fat but thats going to change if I keep this up. Buying eggs and milk at the corner store (Beckers) is such a major ripoff. Preying on students who don’t really have the time or means to make it the grocery store. (I work nights and get off at 6:30am, very inconvienient for getting groceries. Also I am in my pajamas and it is 3:50pm.) Thanksgiving weekend. So quiet here on campus… It’s actually quite nice. I grow weary of fighting my way through all the undergrads on the sidewalk on the way to class. I have computer problems I am cleaning up right now…. Spyware! I am shocked at how much accumulated. I am generally pretty savy at avoiding malware. I got a recommended program called Pest Patrol from download.com that seems to be working better than ad-aware. I hate this tedious stuff. I will fell better when things are fixed though.

Watched the big presidential debate. It just reinforced my support for Kerry. The difference in the level of dialogue and knowledge between him and Georgie is so apparent to me. I had the biggest laughs when Bush was asked about what he had done specifically to improve the environment. It made him look like a stammering jiggling bowl of jello. The best he could come up with was he has a program to clean up brown spots in the ghetto. I felt Kerry nailed him well there. Bushy’s answer to the stem cell question made me see red. Those cell lines he mentioned don’t work. They are old and non viable. I was impressed yet again at the depth of Kerry’s understanding during his response to that shit that just streamed out of Bush’s face. This isn’t republican vs. democrat, it is the ignorant and deceived vs. the intelligent and informed.

Ahhh, screwing around right now setting something up that I don’t really have to set up. Wasting time I don’t have. I just need to get to the library to study. Nervous energy right now. I want to go get some work done then come home to watch the presidential debate before work. Met someone in class who had Kino’s Travels on her laptop desktop wallpaper. Kind of a fun little moment when I asked her about it. Alright! I’m off. But first… Ill make more coffee. Listened to a lot of Jurassic Five today. I remember when they were pretty obscure, their last album broke them into the mainstream though. They’re still cool. I don’t latch on to bands that get hugely popular later too often but it does happen. It happened with Nickelback I am embarrassed to say. I remember when they were a little Indie rock band from Western Canada. Their video for Leader of Men was this low budget thing that aired on Indie spotline every once and a while on MuchMusic. It had them grabbing all their TV’s and phones and electronic stuff from their house and burning it all in a big bonfire in front of their house, the type of video that I eat up, for its anti-consumer undertone. Then they got big and signed and remade that video into some shitty dark boring more big budget piece of crap. The track Leader of Men still kicks ass, but hearing any other Nickelback makes me want to puke due to the radio whoring.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, editing this post. It’s Thursday. I am so out of it.

Wonderful, Whimsical Wednesday! I like Wednesdays. When you work weekends (observation: 7 of 10 words up to this point have started with w. ) you start to appreciate the middle of the week. Right now, listening to afternoon jazz, eating soup for lunch. The food situation in my apartment continues to deteriorate. I found some old coffee in the back of my fridge this morning though, so that was a plus. I am going to have to make the trek to grocery store later today whether I like it or not. Eating sandwiches minus the bread, lettuce, tomato isn’t that great. It actually just consists of eating lunch meat straight out of the package. So lazy though. I continue to give anything school related priority. So I have to fix up an assignment a little and get that in today. Groceries after I suppose. Bleah. A million things to do, just want to fall asleep, dont want to leave for class in 15 minutes.

Pigeon warfare! Well not really, but today I moved my plants in from my balcony and there were eggs in one of my pots. Now I have been very patient with those pigeons all summer. There have been 3 healthy babies born out there that I did not interfere with. They monopolized my deck and covered it in guano. It is quite disgusting. I allowed it all to go on because well, I am just nice. But today it was time to bring my plants in. I had to clean most of them of pigeon grossness. I was kind and gently moved the eggs from the pot to the remnants of one of the old nests they built. The mom was clueless though when I got all my plants in and couldn’t find her eggs because they were shifted a meter to the right. Stupid stupid pigeon creatures. So I grabbed my dustpan and scooped up the old nest with the eggs inside and put it back to where my plant with the eggs was. I will have to go see if the mom found them soon. I have doubts these eggs/chicks will make it because it is October and this is Canada. It’s starting to get pretty cold at night.

Some fun before class.

Hooray! I got my first comments today, go me. Had a fairly laid back day today. Ate like crap. Pizza for breakfast, greasy fries and a gyro for lunch, more pizza for dinner. Puke. This is what happens when I fall behind on groceries. Today’s musical menu was pretty mainstream, although I am listening to obscure punk stuff now. Earlier it was Sloan, Jurassic five, and Eminem, a guilty pleasure. Finished the Full Metal Alchemist series today. I think I may have to cut down on the anime for a little while. I have so much stuff I am falling behind on. sigh. I am really happy with the way that image above looks. It’s taken from our university newspaper, the gazette. The text was of course added by me. the article was talking about how Ugg boots were going out of style. What mindless crud for a University newspaper. She looks happy for a terrorist.

Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday. Listening to Souljacker. It’s good. I like the bass. Not phony bass, real bass bass. Tired tired tired tired. 4.5 hours of sleep in the last ummm 48 hours? who knows maybe 60 hours. Not good kiddies. I am so bizarre when I am sleep deprived. I am not one of your staying up late, screwing around type insomniacs, I am the working 40 hours a week/full-time undergrad/pseudo-Masters student type no-sleep-persono-me. A friendly ghost is all I need. Souljacker is sneaking into my thought stream. If you are scared to die you better. Stop it! I’m not a psycho-ummm forgot name thing again. I promise. I am quite stable. Its the no sleep. Got an assignment done for today. I am amazing. Two assignments completed for yesterday and this morning. Damn good jobs if I may say so too (I hope). The computer Science student in here that I just nicknamed Fatty-McFat is in the lab right now. I don’t like him. Fat people dont bother me, loud obnoxious ones that look like piggies do. I think I get mean when I have no sleep too. I wonder if I will snore in class today. I doubt it. This algorithms prof is really good. It takes a genious to make an algorithms lecture actually interesting. Full MEtal Alchemist cnclusion later today… maybe. I gots the torrents in.

Ahhhhhh finally slept, I’m a new man. The US vice presidental debate is on. I don’t like the moderator, she is irritating. She’s from PBS, probably a Sesame Street regular. Watched two Full Metal Alchemist episodes just now with some of my free pizza. I am supposed to weightlift tonight but I really don’t feel like it. I feel like being totally and utterly lazy. I was in hyper coffee overdrive all weekend. Tomorrow I have to get back into it so tonight… I want to be super slothful. It will hurt to skip a weightlifting session because I have been so good. I went all of September without missing one. SoooOoOo i don’t know what to do tonight. It’s a real crisis. Why am I now writing in italics? I think I hit a shortcut by accidental contact. My left pinky spazzed. Calm down pinky! Settle down, settle down. That’s better. What did I listen to today? Theory of a Deadman, not proud of that. Ben Kweller, twas good, wasn’t really in a mood for it though. Abandoned Pools, that was pretty good. I was so tired, it fit well. I think I will look for some other interesting blog on xanga. I haven’t found anything too interesting yet. I have been particularly disapointed with the quality of the adbusters webring. Hypocrite city.

It’s Monday!!! My most loath-ed of all days. It never used to be this way. Garfieldesque. Soo tired right now. I’ll tie this together with why Mondays are so craptacular. I work Sunday nightshifts! Then I have 4 hours of class in 5 hours. At the midpoint right now. 2 and a half hours until I can hit my luxurious futon like a rock. I’m always pretty unstable on Mondays with this new class schedule. I get all agressive and surly. Hogging the sidewalks, scowling at people, just not generally caring about anything. Dressed so comfortably today, very soft and warm and black. I think the next two hours are my worst two of the week. Computational Biology. OoooOOOoooo Exciting as … computational biology. I recieved free pizza yesterday! 🙂 Soft and yummy and its now ready in the oven so Im ending this post and going to drench it in barbeque sauce and eat it all up….. Oo_ 

Slept 4 and a half hours and off to work I go again. Last shift, then off for 3 and a half days… doesn’t feel like it because of the school demands though…. Groggyness. Listened to some good music today, I think it was Weezer, or some Weezer-sounding indie band. Interpol and the newer Pearl Jam too I was so zombified I can’t even remember though. I feel bad for sleeping right in class today, I am making such a bad impression to professors. The conclusion to Full Metal ALchemist comes out soon, I am looking forward to that. Will be the first fun thing Ive done in a while. I have 3 episodes saved up to watch for some continuity.

The clock strikes 12. Need to gather up some motivation to make a good push on this assignment. This blog is going to be really boring if all I write about is what I have to get done for classes because I always am going to have something to get done. At work right now. I am lucky to have a job where I can study at work even though the pay is peanuts. Maybe I’ll have a little more coffee. I shouldn’t but I want to. It is a form of procrastination I suppose, just like eating. I know it isn’t going to make me feel better. Later this month the first half of my twenties comes to an end. Was thinking about that… a real glass half empty/half full type of moment. I think I tend to go with full. 25-30 should be a good time too. Listened to the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Kylie Minogue, Cat Power, my personal favorites of 1987 and a little bit of rap today. I think I enjoyed the BRMC the most.&nbsp

So tired. This blog that is a few days old has zero merit. I guess a nice picture of Totoro is ok. Maybe I will throw my animetric avatar in there and link my sig there to here. I don’t know why I feel the need to spout drivle online. Other blogs actually offer something. This one? who knows? I doubt it. I can’t really write anything too interesting if I want to remain anonymous. So tired right now. Have to get that lousy pattern recognition assignment done for Monday if it kills me, which it is. Coffee coffee coffee coffee. Weightlifted today even though I was exhausted. If all else falls apart at least I have that going for me. Homecoming weekend is going on right now. I could care less, except it increases hassles at work. About two and a half hours left until I have to be at work, not really enough time to do anyting really benefitial especially when I am feeling this tired.
