I just saw ‘Alien‘ for the first time. Fun stuff, but I guess knowing a lot of the famous scenes in it ruined it a bit. But still, it’s interesting to see how well the special effects for this horror/action movie is, when it was made back in 1979 (about same time as Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.) I have the DVDs for the entire quadrilogy (a word coined by the Alien series; the proper term is actually ‘tetralogy’), and so I’ll probably watch at least Aliens, since I heard it was good, but the last two weren’t nearly as good.

Okay, they’re more like 2 other blogs that link to this one. One is hosted at Friendster and the other is hosted at Xanga. I’m posting my entries at these blogs, because a lot of my friends use them and so now they will ping back to here.

I returned home from high school for the very last time, just a few minutes ago. Exams and school are finally over now! I have 74 days of freedom, until university orientation day. At least 10 of these days will be spent in a country other than Canada. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit every European country before I graduate from university!

I’m just staring into space right now, instead of paying attention to the study notes for my geometry exam, that’s right in front of me. All of my scribbles on it now appear so foreign to me (although I probably didn’t understand them that much back when I wrote them, in the first place, anyways.) So, I haven’t been as productive with studying for my exam as I’d like to be.

On a side note, at least I’ve used my time to properly tag my iTunes songs, using iEatBrainz. And I’ve been watching a few Coldplay and Linkin Park concerts on YouTube, as well.

I’ve revived my old MP3 player. I’m using it now as a voice recorder, since my iPod has replaced all other use for it.

It’s a Creative NOMAD IIc.

I did my data management exam today. It seemed easy enough; at least now, I can concentrate on my geometry exam, which is tomorrow. It’s by far my most difficult course, probably because I simply am not good enough to visually picture all of the shapes in my mind, so it’s all just numbers to me.

I just watched Dirty Harry. It’s okay, but I was really looking forward to the scene where he says “Do you feel lucky, punk?” and then I find out that this scene is in one of the sequels. I never even knew it had sequels, because the sequels don’t include the phrase ‘Dirty Harry’ in the title. Anyways, it was an entertaining movie, but not as good as I expected.

As NHL proudly proclaims, “The Cup goes to Carolina!”. Bummer for us Canucks - the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was back in 1993, by the Montreal Canadiens.

I’m looking for a new cell phone. Do you guys have any recommendations? I’m basically just looking for something cheap, can make phone calls, and doesn’t look like it was time warped from the past.

Just FYI, if you don’t know about it already, before I started this blog I created a ‘Comics Page’ where I visit once a day to view all my daily comics there. If you want to use it, go ahead. Anyways, this is just for the people who don’t know about it yet but might be interested in it. Also, the comics there are the (main) ones that I read, and I probably won’t add anymore unless I really like the new strips.
