Heh.... I see what you're trying to do, you sneaky Korean channel. You think you're gonna be able to pull in ratings JUST BECAUSE you have the oh-so-sexy Lee Min Ho on your show? You think that releasing stills of Lee Min Ho in the shower is gonna make me want to watch your show?! Well it's gonna take a whole lot more than that to get me interested in City Hunter!
Oh wait, what am I talking about? I'm shallow, why wouldn't I want to watch the sexy Lee Min Ho kick butt and take hot steamy showers? LOL.
Oh btw. City Hunter in korean is pronounced "shitty hunter". hehehehehehe ^^
I am trying to limit the amount of time I spend procrastinating on the net so I'm gonna limit this post to 15 minutes.
There seems to be a lull in the amount of homework I'm getting from school. I didn't get any big assessment tasks last week (which is rare) so I took advantage of it by doing the-project-that-shall-not-be-named. I'm just gonna talk about the You-know-what for now. The-project-that-shall-not-be-named is the quite possibly the one thing that has depressed me throughout the whole year. If boggarts existed, my one would take on the form of this project. It's worth a whopping 80% of my course mark for history extension which is probably why I can't bring myself start writing it. I've worked on it on and off for the last 5 months but it feels like I've gotten ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. It sits here on my desk, taunting me. When I look at it I feel depressed. When I work on it, I feel depressed because none of my research will help in my essay. When I don't work on it, I feel even more depressed because of the lack of progress.
I wish I could burn it. I miss having that feeling of "hey, there are no more projects/assessments to do! I'll just take advantage of this and go have some free time to do the things I love." I NEVER get that feeling anymore because there's always a voice in the back of my mind saying, "Well if you don't have any more assessments, why don't you work on the project? Just in case you get more assignments in the future and you don't have anymore time." Do you know what I mean? It's that fear of not doing anything productive with your time.
But I think time's running out. A draft has to be handed in 5 weeks time and I haven't even finished researching. Five weeks does seem like a long time but I know for a fact that I'm gonna be getting more assessments in the weeks to come. How will I cope then?
Another issue that's been stressing me out is 4 unit maths. I can't believe I have to make a decision about that so soon. At the beginning of the year, I was dead set on not doing it but the more people keep asking me about it, the more unsure I become. There is a 96.7% chance that I won't be able to cope with it. Just thinking about the extra time + homework load that will have to be dedicated to it is enough to make me cry. So many people have emphasized the difficulty of the topic. And to be honest, I don't even have a maths brain - I only do a lot of it. Oh the curse of being asian. LOL, jks. But then again, it feels like a waste to not at least give it a try. I mean, I slaved away at tutor all those years in those accelerated classes and for what? It seems like such a waste of effort.
Oh noes, my fifteen minutes is up. I'm sorry for the extremely boring post. Congratz if you even managed to get through it LOL. Anyways, I'm gonna get back to doing maths homework. SIGH.
I was going to think of a good story to go with this totally epic gif but I can't think of anything right now. Instead, I'll just entertain you with my stupidity:
- I used to think cinnamon was made from apples. I now realise that just because cinnamon GOES WELL with apples, doesn't necessarily mean that its MADE from apples. According to Cynthia logic, the cinnamon part came from the peel of the apple that had been sun-dried. That would explain the brownness and dryness of it.
- I once went over to Tian's house to get my house keys and then went home to unlock my house. I did that right, and then I walked back to Tian's house to return the keys. When I got back to my house, I realised that I had locked the door behind me and had to return to Tian's house to start all over.
- SPAIN IS IN EUROPE. I only found this out recently. I spent my whole life thinking that Spain was situated somewhere in South America and the revelation only struck me while I was watching Eurovision because Spain was performing. I NEVER KNEW THAT. Did you know that? Just because people in South America can speak Spanish doesn't mean that Spain is a part of their continent. God, I suck.
For those of you who live under a rock, Eurovision is basically the biggest song competition in all of Europe. Over 50 countries take part and compete for the prestige of becoming Europe's most popular singer? Act? Um, something like that. Considering that each country can only enter ONE act (maximum of 5 or 6 people), it's amazing how many well.... crap acts get submitted. Like dude, you've got a whole freakin' country to choose from and you pick THAT singer. Srsly. HAHAHA. But I guess it makes sense because the winner of the previous year, their country has to host Eurovision the next year. Therefore if you don't win, you don't
It's a very simple process though. There are heats, semi-finals and a final. I usually only watch the final cause 24 acts is enough for me. The finale goes for about 3-4 hours? And during that time, people from all over Europe get to vote for their favourite. The funny thing is (and this cracks me up all the time), is that countries tend to vote for their neighbours LOL. So you've got Greece voting for Cyprus and Cyprus voting for Greece. Some, like the UK, are quite honest and they vote for their favourites but well, it doesn't always happen like that. Underneath all the glitz and glammer, is a simmering pot of geopolitics.
Anyways, I'm boring you with all this explaining, let me just get to my thoughts on Eurovision 2011. I'm just gonna talk about some of the acts that stood out to me:
IRELAND: Lipstick - John and Edward (aka Jedward, aka, the Red Jumping Dwarves)
RUSSIA: Get You - Alex Sparrow (aka The Face (1))
"Oh oh... I'm coming to get you
Oh oh... I'm running, I'm coming for you
Oh oh... I'm gonna get you
I know you, you want me too" -cue wink-
SWEDEN: Popular (?) - Eric Saade (aka The Face (2))
GERMANY: Taken by a Stranger - Lena Meyer-Landrut (aka 2010 winner)
YAY, all the tributes are finally assembled. The last two to join the cast are the District 2 tributes: Alexander Ludwig as Cato (who had initially auditioned for the role of Peeta), and Isabelle Fuhrman. If they sound familiar, it's because Alexander Ludwig was in The Race to Witch Mountain and Isabelle Fuhrman played Esther in Orphan.
