Music mix from tonight!
With a little bonus of John Lennon, Collective Soul, etc. simply because I can’t remember every song that was played.

An earthquake rocks Taiwan and the papers were all about internet connections being disrupted. If say, a thousand people were killed, would the headlines be different? I doubt it; nothing can be done about those killed, whilst the livelihoods of thousands more depend on those cables.
Me: so it’s all about survival eh?
B. says: preeetty much
If you don’t know me:
Please do not tug at my sleeve/shirt when asking for donations.
And for the last time, I do NOT have Japanese blood in me. And no, I haven’t been to Japan.
If you know me:
I am usually blind to my surroundings. Yes, I can avoid banging into people because I see them as blurred obstacles to get around. And yes, I can be staring at you straight in the eyes but not see your face. So there is no need to call me up and say that you saw me where, but I didn’t say hi, and ya and yadayada. No need to complain to other people either!
So I had an annoying yesterday.

( X ) Not good enough for me
Excuse me whilst I ask my brother to grow some so I can poke at them.
So I’ve been away, stressing out on how I’m not stressed up over the tests, trying to oversleep thinking it’d be so much easier to get dismissed. But B. says Please Do Not!!! and after daily whinings about bad decisions and how “my soul is not willing”, I’ve somehow reached an equilibrium with the parentals on graduation and the related gifts: a dSLR and a Macbook (Pro) ++. This is the first time any form of bribery incentives motivations have been provided; a) I’m not in the habit of asking for things, b) they’ve always frowned upon it, c) so they must think I’m balmy enough. Just so you know, I was the one who tossed the idea up, but I think I’ve just about sold two thirds of my soul for it.
And oh, for Christmas, no worries if you can’t gift me a trip to the Caribbean, I’ll be happy to settle for this razer mouse+pad.

A bluetooth one would be nice as well. Really should stop looking at nifty things like this and get something more practical like a wallet so I’ll stop littering the floor with ten(God forbid, hundred!)-dollar notes.
P.S. Christina, Jean, please don’t comment on today’s blatant display of horrid money keeping habits. =p
P.P.S. Christina, you’re guilty as well!
I’m positive some of you are currently drowning in those seemingly never ending stacks of notes and the horror – your eyelids are drooping! Lifehacker tells you how to pull an all-nighter, and tosses you gems like an automatic bibliography generator..
But let it be known that I Hate Coffee and caffeine does absolutely nothing for me anyway, no, not even after ten cuppas, so results may vary according to your odd body chemistry.
And for those who would kill to avoid a christmas gathering:
Enlighten Holiday Party Excuse Generator
Sigh. Spending time on sites like these: one more reason why I need that all-nighter.
