Study shards

Ahh, midterms. My favourite time of year. I've but one more to go. It is Auditing.
So, you can tell why I'm procrastinating.

Tomato soup

Well, the results of the Warhol v. Renoir poll are in. I guess Renoir is better. I'd be lying if I said my favourite past-time was comparing artists from different genres.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Flee

Well, last night I watched the opening ceremonies of the winter olympics in Vancouver. It was pretty crazy. I think I lack a proper appreciation for interpretive dance. My favourite part was when the Governor General declared the games on and then KD Lang immediately sang Leonard Cohen's Hallelujia. Because the VanOC and IOC guys finished their speeches? Bam.
Also, I'm not sure turning and running is the best thing to do if confronted with a bear.

Grey matter

So I was on a computer at school and someone had taped a little message to the monitor, I suppose as a thought provoking gesture. It seems to have worked because it has made me think about some stuff. But really I think about stuff all the time, but maybe not the stuff they want me to think about with their little message.
Anyways, the message said:

Avoid holding on to ideas just because you are used to them.

At first I was like, “yeah, I guess that makes sense,” being a dude who not so humbly thinks he’s pretty tolerant and open minded, or at least understanding. Then I got thinking about how being like that means I’m never really sure about anything. It’s the truth that the more I learn the less I know, or maybe the less I care. Or it might be the truth. See. Long ago was I tired of people being sure they’re right about anything. I sometimes begin to wonder if they are right merely by the fact that I never believe I’m right. But then I think that, I may not know anything for sure, but I might be able to tell what’s worthwhile, and roll with that.

Yeah, I'm pretty great.

Milk it

So I read about this in the star. Some of the comments are worth reading.

Forget it

Today I locked my keys in my room, and couldn't get back in until my roommate came home. So I did the following things. I Had lunch, played video games, did the dishes, watched Seinfeld, went for a bike ride (I fell twice, it was fun), and watched an episode of the office. Then my roommate came home.

So normally when i'm driving my Hyundai Accent, I like to go fast. Well, maybe only as fast as I can go without creating too many legal issues. Really the car isn't all that fast to begin with so that alone limits those legal issues. It used to be that I would gladly pass anyone that was, incomprehensibly I might add, not blatantly ignoring the speed limit. But, ever since gas went up to $1.45/L back in '008, I have a better appreciation for the speed limit. It is amazing how fuel-efficient my car is at 80km/hr. I must admit, I still like to go fast, but now when I come up behind some misguided driver concerned with safety or functionality over fun and thrill-seeking, I just follow them. I mean I have patience. I think it might even be a virtue,.. but actually I'm just cheap.
