finding nemo

ok, you know i didn't even used to like computer animated films. then scott talked me into watching monsters inc. and i really liked it! then i watched shrek, which was also really good. so when finding nemo came out on video, i actually really wanted to see it.

it was so good! i really enjoyed this movie. it had really funny parts, and a good story, and the underwater animation was awesome!!! i totally recommend it.

shove it.

ok, so i woke up feeling crappy this morning and it took me a while to drag myself out of bed. by the time i'm sitting having a little shreddies, still not totally awake, the doorbell rings. who could it be? of course, it's the johova's witnesses. and they're asking me all these questions about my beliefs and my childhood, and shit. i think it took all the energy i had not to be totally rude. all i could do is stand there, in my pyjamas, trying to think of something to say to make them go away. i tried to explain, in my non-morning person terms, that i'm an agnostic, and that i'm not interested, thank-you very much. but they saw this only as a sign of blatently bad parenting, of course. let's just say, when i saw one of the chicks pull out a pamplet, it was all i could do not to shout 'halleluliah' cause i knew it was a sure sign they were giving up on me...for now.

they're as bad as the friggin telemarketers, except i can't bring myself to tell them to take me off their list!

by the way, scott says i should tell you that i moved. i moved.

but what i wanted to say was that if you tried earlier to sign up for email notifications, there was the wrong code for that, so it didn't work, so...you should sign up for it again, and scott has fixed it, so now it'll work!

ps

please don't harrass me about the colour, i'm still working on it!

oh yeah!

midge is going colour baby!

wh-fuckin-ew

i just finished putting together a grant application, and let me tell you they sure don't make it an easy thing! no high hopes in getting it, cause the competition's pretty intense, but i figured i might as well, since it's worth 17,500$! so, think good thoughts for me if you think it'll help.

school's been insane, hence my not blogging. TAing, to be honest, is hell. it's eating up my time, sucking up my energy, and i can't fucking wait to be done. god forbid i ever have to do it again. like i said...think good thoughts for the grant.

somehow i'll surely manage to get everything done by the end of the semester, and the eternal optimist that i am, all i can do is cling to the hope that next semester will be better...

otherwise, grad school's going ok, things with scott are good. i'll probably be back home for a few days before christmas, but i may head back to bc and spend christmas in vernon with scott and the crowd. but i'll be in van for new years for sure.

i don't think anyone's signed up, but there's a thing at the bottom left of the page to get email notifications of when i put up an entry, if you want it.

ok, that's it for now.
