Halloween Weekend

Hey Kids,

Been a few days, not bad eh?

A quick note to get things started; No, my use of english has not degraded. I swear more often in my posts simply because university has transformed me into a surly, aggressive person. Also, reading student publications from Waterloo and other universities helped me realize, when you swear, people really fucking listen to you.
Try it some time.

Let's see, the back problems -- they are cured! It took a few days of painkillers and T.L.C. but I am finally alleviated from that terrible burden. I can now do kartwheels, crabwalks, and "the robot." (For a private viewing, please email.)

To celebrate, I happily marched on to something that would subsequently make my back feel like shit again. Megabus! It was mega alright; a two story bus-o-the-future with wifi, 12v power, and panoramic windows! So the big thing with Megabus trips in between Toronto and Montreal is that you can get fares starting at only $1. Cough, bullshit. They are out there, but you'd have to take a bus on a tuesday at 3:00am and wear a funny hat. Okay, so the hat thing is a lie -- in all seriousness, despite the poor abundance of uno dollar fares -- Megabus is still the cheapest out there at around $55. You get this price by subjecting yourself to an eight hour ride stopping in Scarborough, Whitby, Kingston, Cornwall, the West Island, the list goes on. However, the bus is damn comfortable, and the view up top is great.
I got to Montreal and we climbed all the way up Mont Royal, what a sweet view!
The next day, we toured old Montreal, the waterfront (saw a huge boat) and got some killer poutine before walking in a rainstorm and checking out the hilarious sites and sounds on Saint-Laurent.
Bus ride home? I told myself I'd study. I slept, and it was magical.
Here are some scarce, and very random photos from Montreal.


Moving right along, in the 20 some hours I've been back in the Woo I've noticed little change to this place. For example, IT'S STILL RAINING. Getting sick of this rain, either my choice of attire (Sperry Topsiders) is mediating the weather (whenever I wear them, it pours) or mother nature and I need to have a really serious conversation.
We're out of food, seriously. I'm going grocery shopping at t-minus 20 minutes. But seriously, my fridge looks like fucking Siberia -- empty, white, and sad.

Bad news? The other day tragedy struck my desktop; As I was moving a book on my shelf (the stubborn thing shifted out of place) I knocked over an ink plot. The plot fell off the shelf and landed 2 feet down on the screen of my beloved iPod. This is my very very first iPod. Unlike many people, I've taken care of my iPod for the last four years of possession. It was still in immaculate condition when my ink plot crushed the L.C.D. screen inside. It shattered along with my heart. I could only feel a numbing sadness more so because its life had ended in such a pathetic manner.
Then I realized that I can fix it.
Stay tuned, because I've ordered a brand new screen for ol' Stockholm ( I nickname my electronics after Scandinavian cities) It should be coming in the mail this week and I'll be performing reconstructive surgery. Stockholm shall play music once again! Hopefully this doesn't happen again and my iPod will live long as a progressively obsolete p.m.p.

THEY FIXED MY LOCK!
At some point the tumbler lock on my door came apart making it impossible to lock from the inside. After telling my don, somebody mysteriously came while I was away and repaired it! I have no idea how the found the parts for I think they were in a drawer somewhere. So strange having the feeling that somebody was in my room while I was away! :S

Now if only my roommate would do his damn chores.

What's with midterms anyways?
I've got seven of them. I take 5 classes. Can somebody explain that to me? I mean, technically I can say I'm done midterms as this week I only have midterm styled "term tests" which require very little studying. But hey, come on.
(Side note, my back just started hurting again)
Last week I wrote Psychology which I had been studying for an entire week. Greatest feeling after a test; knowing you did well because you forced yourself to know the material and it paid off. This was brought to me by the entertaining professor, and the fact that Psychology is actually entertaining and worth while in life -- rather than that Sociology or Anthropology bullshit. I can receive my marks in a few days, I can't wait.
Tomorrow is another Sociology term test (speak of the devil) and we're going to pull the same 9:00pm coffee fuelled shenanigans that we did last time that helped me get a 92%. It's an online test :D

Does anybody know the song Roxanne by The Police? I'd look in to it.

Can I tell the future? Let's see...
I really really really want to go to the Steve Aoki concert in Woo next month. Pending whether it's cheap/all ages. I'm poor, and not of age. I hear this guy can seriously rock a crowd -- I just need to find somebody who doesn't hate pounding electro.
Who is Steve Aoki? This Guy --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvP6yeVmAp0

Is short hair a good idea? Like really short hair? Cause I've been thinking about it. I'm talking David Beckham short. Might I say buzz cut? This isn't for aesthetics; I really just want to know what short hair is like, and I kind of want to carve some crazy design in my head in the process. We'll see in December when my locks get longer.

Fish is a great cheap eat. Did you know you can buy ocean perch filets at the super market at like, $1.20 a filet? One filet fried in batter is good enough for lunch or a light dinner if you have it with a side.
This is the most important food revolution to happen to me since microwave bagel bites! I'm stalking up!

Man, I have to get to sleep...
