the e.n.d. LOLs
its end of term and more and more insane things come out of people's mouths on a daily basis.
this latest gem comes courtesy of ms. kardash:
"roll up the rim! man, i wish i won that money. whoever said money doesn't bring happiness clearly had no money. definitely a poor guy who made up that saying."

GOOP-esque
(not so) secretly LOVE gwyneth's blog, "GOOP". if only i had the funds to buy/do/go to all the things she recommends. and wouldn't i love a stylist from elle to come help me show off my picks for the spring season. sigh.
instead, i give you my FAVE picks right now: things i want, things i use, places i want to go.
maybe i'll get disgustingly self absorbed and make it a monthly thing LOL.
SHIZEN SPA. Totally chic, read about it in Fashion magazine. Lunch time specials that include spa packages plus delish lunch. Definitely gonna treat myself once the cash flow begins.
THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE. Saw this movie a while ago and watched it again the other day. I'm a serious magazine hoarder and the september issue is always the best bang for your buck - plus the ads are fabulous. Great look at the behind-the-scenes of the making of the Sept issue of Vogue. I want to be BFF with Grace Coddington.
TEA TREE OIL. Stole this from my sister's bathroom cuz it was that effing good. Thanks Dana :) Great for getting rid of all those annoying imperfections. If you can get past the tea tree oil smell, it's a must-have.
2-IN-1: I know a good hair product when I see one (when you've got this much hair, you know what it takes to make it look exactly the way you want.) This is pure genius - a curler and straightener all in one. The barrel becomes big enough to get those long waves that little curling irons just can't achieve. Tried to get one at Shopper's and found the hinge broken - epic fail. Try, try again.

passing thought.
First we form habits, then they form us.
Conquer your bad habits... or they will conquer you.

feed the animals
Just rediscovering Girl Talk's most recent album, "Feed the Animals."
Hard to top Night Ripper, but I think he manages to excite me even more. One of Time's 10 best albums of 2008, i'm told.
Check "Play your Part pt. 2", the swan song of the album. Genius stuff. AC/DC, Journey, George Harrison, Soulja Boy, Lil Wayne... and more! All on one track. Insanity. Even better than my former fave track, Night Ripper's "Too Deep".

seriously?
talk about a downgrade...
Suprisingly, little bit of self satisfaction at this one.
"plain" is never a highly complimentary adjective for someone.
"on to the next one."

the cure
looking for a safe path through the next few weeks. so much stress on the way. light at the end of the tunnel = april 13. OMFG.
rules for the final stretch:
1. stretch. like... actually STRETCH. my back needs it.
2. water water water. H2O is your friend.
3. get OUT. run, walk, whatever. just get that dose of fresh air at least once a day.
4. focus focus focus. yikes.
5. one thing at a time - getting overwhelmed gets you nowhere.
6. fail to plan, plan to fail. stick to that goddamn schedule and everything will be alright.
7. note to self --> 3 am is not an optimal time for productivity. sleep on it and wake up ready to work harder.
8. eat fresh! not a good time to become a slug. and stay away from those robarts vending machines. welches fruit gummies are not a good way to get energy at 12 am.
9. stay. away. from. the. coffee. (as much as possible. sometimes so necessary though)
10. just think about the science kids who have it way worse than you :)
YAY!

cherry bomb
I have NO IDEA why, but I kind of want to see this movie.
Not a huge fan of either Dakota or Kristen but... it kind of looks good (?)
Maybe i'm willing to see any movie out there right now just to get me out of the house... the weather is gorgeous outside. And i've been inside writing essays for 2 days straight. FML.

investing, investing.
get my money straight, then buy what i love.
then i'll need somewhere to put it all...
a la miss bradshaw.

put your glasses on
i have a thing with glasses.
every time i want to be a little more alone, and not let things or people get to me, i just walk around without my glasses on. that way, i can't see anyone clearly, and in some weird way, it feels like they can't see me either! great for those times when you just need to focus on you, and not the world around you.
and that's what i need right now - FOCUS. focus on school, focus on me, focus on the things that matter in the short run (AND long run), and focus on what makes me happy. easier said than done, but not impossible.
and after i'm all focus-ed out, what do i have to look forward to?
5 words: hot girls do meat-packing district.
let's make this happen, ladies. :)

it's that time of year
welcome to election season.
let's all make personal attacks, sport really stupid colours, and talk to everyone on campus like they're our best friend. and then not give a shit about them after we earn their vote. lovely.
if you are campaigning on behalf of either slate, and you find a redhead staring you down with a seriously evil eye, i apologize in advance. i should start wearing sunglasses so people can't see the look in my eye lol.
it's not that i don't care about the school, or that i don't care about the issues - I DO. i'm just NOT a politician. nor do i like politicians. nor do i like politics. you can see where i'm going with this.
trying to take the most unbiased approach possible, and let the candidates arguments sway my vote. if they sound informed, and enlightened, and competent, generally they'll earn my vote. if empty words is all you've got, you don't impress me. or anyone else, for that matter. already spotted some seriously "empty" comments in the varsity today. bravo for useless, mindless rhetoric.
what would i do differently? who knows. i just know i don't like what's being done.
only one more election season and then i'm outta here :) patience and endurance for the next week or so.

sigh.
facebook free life, such a strange thing.
when you see things you don't like, gotta cut it at the source, right?
so bye bye facebook. hopefully my productivity will SOAR. so necessary.
and besides, its campaign season, and i can only tolerate so much bullshit on my screen.
olympics was AMAZING. glued to my couch, TV, and ctvolympics.ca (on my phone... smh) for the last 2 weeks. sad to see em go. and pissed at working during the hockey game! only in canada would no one take a shift during the hockey game. double SMH. mad proud though - sid the kid, i love you more than ever. all is right in the world.
4th year comes to a close, and with it, so much pressure. one month for 4 papers. yikes. need a good luck charm (and a large pot of coffee). logging library hours like its my job.
hoping the "in-between" ends sooner than later. hate this feeling more than anything in life. leave it all behind.
"blackbird singing in the dead of night/ take these broken wings and learn to fly/ all your life/ you were only waiting for this moment to arrive." <3
