i think having my computer back in action is actually a bad thing for me, i realize that i studied way more when i couldn't come online. right now for example, i'm trying to read shakespeare's as you like it, blog and chat at the same time. no prizes for guessing which one isn't really getting done.
"A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest,
A motley fool. A miserable world!"
ha...optimistic lines aren't they...here's more
"'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine,
And after one hour more 'twill be eleven,
And so from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,
And then from hour to hour, we rot and rot"
ooh...exciting. ha, reminds me of ecclesiastes somewhat..."meaningless, meaningless...everything is meaningless!"
despite my quoting all these beautifully dismal lines, i'm really in quite a good mood. guess that's why i can laugh at those lines. right, shall not bore the world anymore.
moving on from will shakespeare...got my fingers all inky and black refilling my printer's ink cartridge. there's this syringe thing which you use to pump the ink into the cartridge. it's the cheapo method of stretching your cartridge's life...coz it's way cheaper than buying a new cartridge. of course the quality isn't as good...and there's the mess to contend with (my black fingers will bear testimony of that fact). after that i had mooncake for breakfast. realized after doing the ink thing that i should have eaten first, but it was kind of late for that. but yeah...the mooncakes were my roommate's hongkong ones, think there are still 2 more to go, they are really mini-mooncakes so we can afford to eat one at a go, love mooncakes! strange thing...coz i never used to be that big a fan. guess you only really enjoy what you can't easily get hold of.
was in the computing center yesterday waiting for my in-room connection to be set up, my friend was there with me and there was still quite some time left to wait, we were seriously bored so we started doing the crossword in the daily cal newspaper. imagine, that's how sian we were! but ha...my friend felt seriously demoralized after that coz he had spent the whole morning doing half of it, and when i helped him it was over pretty fast. not like i'm super good at it or anything, but i am after all an english minor while he's a chem e. student...so our brains are naturally wired to do different things well.
got to go for class in half an hour! better get back to willy's poetry...
"O noble fool!
A Worthy fool! Motley's the only wear."
