New Maths Lecturer!

No more boring Roy Swanson. (Well...actually he's coming back second half of second half of second semester, but at least not for a while)

Instead we have some hippy new age lecturer whos name I can't pronounce. I walked into the lecture at 8 in the morning to soothing piano music. There is a two minute break in the middle of the lecture.

And most of all it's understandable, unlike Roy Swanson.

RRR

I saw two P.Is eating their lunch in the middle of the Symonds Street Underpass today. How ghetto/underground. Get it.

...nevermind ><

Tomorrow there's a 103 auralia test, keyboard test....and then next monday is a music 102 test, and then theres maths and compsci and ARRRR and music composition and ARRRRR

ok.

meh.

Hello. What have I been doing lately?

Been busy. Teaching Linda's cousins/relatives etc English >.>

Yeah. I dunno. There isn't really much to say as much as I want to be interesting and involving via my blog etc but...to be honest, I'm lazy and probably forgetting a lot of cool interesting things to talk about. I...I dunno.

Argh. Slow internet.

Like, SERIOUSLY slow. I cannot believe we pay like $20 a month or something for such crap internet.

I hate it. RRRR

Let's play spot the pattern.

That's one of the questions in our assignment. Spot the pattern.

It's totally awesome in how it tests our skills and stuff. In like, you know, programming, etc.

Oh, did I mention it's worth marks?

---

And I did spell volition right. I'm not even sure how I remembered that I remember that word.

The Salvation Army is too cool for our spare couches, so the Habitat for Humanity came round and grabbed our couches and cabinet that's been sitting around for ages.

Yeah.

Hello.

1. Macleans wasn't too bad yesterday. Chamber did a Copland piece well. Senior Orchestra has like...12 cellos o_O double that of last year. But for the number of people they weren't playing very loudly...

2. Blah

3. FFXI updated again yaaaay :3 :#

Strikes tomorrow.

I have no idea what's going on.

I might just wag all classes and go watch Maccas at the KBB music festival.

Maybe.

I mean, strikes were cool in school when you weren't paying thousands to be there...and while I can see and respect the reasons why staff are striking, PLEASE JUST LET US KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO. please. Nobody likes wasting time...

Leonie coolbeansy let us know though. \o/

Woop.

But I dunno if I have Compsci or Maths or Music144.

Grawr.

Yesterday after watching Moulin Rouge, I watched The Island at the movies. o_O I didn't know Ewan McGregor was in that too. o-o But he's a good actor so I'm not complaining.

The Island is an incredible movie. It's like 2 hours long but it's a good 2hrs, not like Pearl Harbour which was a crap 2 hours. Plot summary : there's like a massive contamination in the world, and there's only one place left in the world free from disease and pollution, which is The Island. The two main characters go to the Island. The plot involves bacon.

It's a great movie.

Moulin Rouge. Total brilliance.

I don't think you can really compare this musical to another musical great, Phantom of the Opera. They're just completely different...one is dramatic and the music is written stunningly, while the other is so human/comedic and the music is an arrangement benchmark.

Yeah. I liked it, only gripe would be that sometimes the bizarro-comedy got a little over the top for my personal taste but I quickly got over it...the music's brilliant, even though they may not have written it...I didn't know Ewan McGregor could sing (so well)...

;_; Virus.

Laptop = death

Managed to salvage all my work...and stuff.

I installed a virus scanner onto my laptop just before it got ridiculously bad, and within about 2 minutes it scanned itself, discovered it was infected and promptly shut itself down.

-_-

1. My laptop has a virus. While it's classified as a low security risk or whatever...it's annoying as ****. I really feel like re-installing everything. It just loads multiple copies of all the system processes etc and just slows the computer down like crazy. -_-

2. I watched Nausicaa...and Whisper of the Heart, and a little bit of some other stuff. Studio Gibhli is good. I liked Nausicaa...and Whisper of the Heart. Hmm. If only life was an Anime and you could just follow a script and it would be all predetermined etc...but I guess then it would be an anime, not life. o-O

3. -_- The two cats in Malaysia are dead.



....


-_-

Apparently, one ran away and one got poisoned.

....

Apparently, my dad thinks the neighbours did it.

Apparently, it's bad enough when you cut whiskers...;_; but....

4. I'm sad now.

5. Feeling better.

6. Alright. I'm ok. Bastard neighbours if it was them... They may not like our cats....I don't like their kids when their kids come home from school and start yelling and running around but I don't go over their to gouge their eyes out and/or poison them. -_-

Hello. Internet working has been intermittent.

My laptop is playing up. -_-

;_;

Excerpts from an excellent Air New Zealand flight.

"As smoking on an airplane is extremely hazardous, smoking is not permitted on this flight at any time - if you are found smoking you will be asked to step outside."

"For those of you who haven't noticed, we've landed at Auckland International Airport. For your safety, please remain seated with your seatbelt securely fastened until the seatbelt sign is switched off. In the event of the aircraft suddenly stopping during taxi, we wouldn't want you to reach the terminal before the aircraft."

"If you think the captain is making these announcements you are completely wrong, the captain is far too busy."

The steward guy also let some random little kids hand out the candy which was really cute. Etc.

I am tired.

11:33 remaining.

That is how much free time I have left on this internet station.

I am at Changi Airport.

I watched recently:

Equilibrium. Smelt like Matrix. It was alright I guess, the gun kata thing is cool but probably bullshit against things like grenades and very very large machinegun batteries.

Lost In Translation. Funny. ^^ Japanese. >.>

The Pianist. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. ;_; poor helpful German :(

ya ok thats all for now. i will see you soon maybe sometime perhaps.
