Nature, coincidence, can often be a heavy-handed symbolizer. She seems at times fairly to club one over the head with significance ... so obvious even in its details that it (is) embarrassing. One is constantly being confronted with a sun that bursts from behind the clouds just as the home team takes the ball; ominous rumblings of thunder when one is brooding desultorily at home; magnificent sunrises on days when one has resolved to mend one's ways; hurricanes that demolish a bad man's house and leave his good neighbor's untouched, or vice-versa; Race Streets marked SLOW; Cemetery Avenues marked ONE WAY. The man whose perceptions are not so rudimentary, whose palate is attuned to subtler dishes, can only smile uncomfortably and walk away, reminding himself, if he is wise, that good taste is, after all, a human invention.

Food for thought the next time I'm all snobbish and elitist about something. I categorically will not apply this philosophy towards stupid songs and/or blogs though.

Dude! So like... dude... I was checking vocab book's stats when I noticed man, like a huge ass spike on like, the stat page and duuuude dude dude dude, guess what, I'VE BEEN BRENDAN'd! Semi-exciting that VB has been mentioned in a blog that isn't mine... so yeah :p Also, fanboyism.

In other news, I'm particularly appalled by the breadth of Wikipedia's coverage on VeggieTales, or rather by the lack of it. You would have thought the "wikipedians" would have turned their rabid love for information onto this great animated series but noooo. And I can't contribute anything either, other than that I <3 Larry.

I've been watching VeggieTales videos, can you tell?

Oh.. and the subjects in school that I love are amongst my lowest scores (if we discount the 0 I got for PE...). Tough love man.. tough love. Okay, so my scores were 3.0 and 3.5. It's still not the 4.0 I got for two other subjects though. I'm too much of a nerd :/

On a very random note, JEIEL HENRIQUE!

It FINALLY rained.

Everything is all right now.

Enrolled into school for the next tri. Have a regular-ish class and an almost regular load. Just need to get a subject added in and I'm good. Sucks that 2D anim was full though. Shame cause I wanted to take that class.

Oh hey guess what, Chronicles of Narnia trailer is out. Production values look great and so does the casting. Hope the movie is as great as the book.

Semiotheque guy makes me want to cry.

I think I'm finally finding my voice in writing now. At least I'm kind of comfortable with Vocab Book now. It doesn't feel too much like a struggle anymore.

I'm weird. I have too many things left half-done. Seriously. I'm looking through my projects folder and I feel like kicking my own ass for doing things in such a half-assed way.

Uhm. I'll try to make my next post not suck so much and not take such a long time either. But damnit, summer is crap. Too damn hot to post. But if you do want to read more of what I'm writing... err drop by Vocabulary Notebook. Sorry. Need to pimp it :P

Here's to hoping for more rain soon!

P.S: Read Count Your Sheep for uber-cute webcomic sadness! I mean, I even wrote fan-fiction about it! It's so damn good. Like C&H with less boy-maniacness and more girl cuteness.
