March's 30 Days!
After about two days of thinking, I’ve finally found what I want to dedicate the next 30 days to! I realize February’s isn’t over yet, but I have to start the next one on the 1st if I’m ever to get through all 12. So, I think this will be cute and funny for me (at least, if not some of you).
March is 30 Days of Drawings!
They will be cute little sketches that I’ll...

Cavities and Ramen
I went to the dentist today… dun dun dunnnnn. On the way there, I thought to myself, “I’m not ready to get my last wisdom tooth out! I’m going to Niagara Falls in two days and I don’t want to miss out. It doesn’t really matter to me that the tooth is currently growing in perpendicular to the other teeth, it can wait till the summer when I’m back...

Fishing Show!
We went to the Spring Fishing Show at the convention center near the airport for Family Day, yesterday! It was kind of a spontaneous thing since I originally planned on getting my license renewed on Saturday, but the shop was closed because they had a booth set up at the show. Fishing Shows are awesome, though personally, the Sportsman Show is much more entertaining since it encompasses a lot more...

[sarcasm] Greyhound is so reliable. [/sarcasm]
The past week of my life has been a crazy. I managed to stay away from video games almost entirely for my 4 exams last week. I think I even stayed focused on my notes and text book readings for 5 hours in a row. The last time I did that (2nd year exams), I had to cage myself in a little cubicle on Taylor LG for 9 hours with lots of coffee and I managed to scrape by. The trick is to stay away from...

The mother******* Pringles!
Things have been pretty good lately. On Friday, I participated in a Rock Band tournament with some friends. We got second place… I blame the scoring scheme and such lol but it was super fun! I spent about 4 hours total preparing our costume (cardboard moustaches with string, bow ties and our band poster). Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is available for download on Rock Band...

Money is good
marchofthegoombas:
Had a good haul this weekend. I believe the total for Friday was $30 and Saturday was $75. Mother says she’d collect my red pockets for the rest of the new year so I shall update you on my total then. =]
Saturday morning was pretty chill. Woke up around 10:30 and left at 11:45 for St. Catherine’s to pick the brother up from Brock. I made sure to pay the $2 required for...

Thanks for waking me up at 10:18...
Amber: Good morning, I'm calling on behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Do you have a moment to answer some questions?
Me: uhh
Amber: It's only a couple of questions and won't take long.
Me: Okay
Amber: Are you planning on voting for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and The Conservatives in the upcoming election?
Me: uh..... um.... No.
Amber: Oh okay, thanks for taking the time to talk. Have a good day.

Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year!
marchofthegoombas:
It’s the Year of the Hare! The beginning of the new year is marked with a 15 day celebration!
Here are some traditions and myths surrounding the festival (that I was brought up with):
Traditions: - At the family reunion dinner, many different dishes must be present because they represent the goodness that we want to come to us. - Red pockets! Little red envelops with money...

A day to myself
marchofthegoombas:
How is it that nearly every other university in Ontario gets a snow day today except us? In retaliation, I have decided to take my own personal snow day. Good thing I only had tutorial today and not lab for my biology of fungi course or else I’d be in real trouble.
Instead, I ended up watching some Myth Busters, more Discovery, some Food Network… played a lot of Plants vs....

30 Days of Music

February is 30 Days of Music!
It took me a long time to decide on which meme to do this month, but this one should be really good. I’ve been looking at some of the days’ topics and I’m starting to come up with which songs I want on which day. I am going to try my hardest to make sure that no song will ever be posted twice.

The day the Earth stood still
marchofthegoombas:
One thing I recommend everyone do at least once at some point in their lives is to spend a day at the spa… Okay, maybe except the mani-pedi part. Yesterday was Charity Ball and for Christmas, Heather’s father gave his wife, Heather and I a spa package (to Fayez Spa)! We decided that it’d be best spent before the Ball so that we’d be all nice and stuff.
We were lead to the...

Day 29 & 30

Day 29 - A game I didn’t think I’d like, but ended up Loving
Who knew, right? By the time Halo 3 was released in 2007, I thought that Bungie was just trying really hard to milk the series, but I found Halo: Reach to be surprisingly refreshing. I never really paid much attention to the campaign for this series, but the multiplayer for this game has been really fun. This...

And on this Wednesday...
marchofthegoombas:
There’s no better way to start your busiest day of the week with a sad text and homophobic slander on the bus ride to school.[/sarcasm]
Other than that, my day’s been okay… then again, I’ve only been on campus for 3 of the 12 hours for my typical Wednesday. In an effort to improve my mood, I’ve been holding the door open for people before walking away and saying thank you in...

Day 26 - Game with the Best Voice Acting
marchofthegoombas:
I remember playing this game a lot during my 3rd year; spending many nights in hyoung’s room because she was able to sleep through anything. The game featured the voice actors from DC Animated Universe, namely Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill and Arleen Sorkin as Batman, The Joker and Harley Quinn respectively. The supporting cast also did an amazing job. Each cutscene or in-game...

Heather’s grant application to the USC finance committee for returning money to the people who got things stolen from the band room was turned down yesterday. It was turned down because the committee didn’t want to make a precedence for other groups who might have these kinds of issues to bring forth too. It was so angering that this committee that’s supposed to be there for...

Day 25 - A Game you plan on Playing
marchofthegoombas:
The premise:
You play 1 of 9 people kidnapped and trapped on a ship and must escape within 9 hours or else the ship sinks and you all die. This is basically a text-based game… very “I want to play a game…”-esque. It’s gotten GREAT reviews and I can’t find a file that will download to my TTDS, so it might actually be the first DS game I purchase.

Day 24 - Favourite Classic Game
marchofthegoombas:
Back in second year, I played this game so much I dreamt in falling tetrominoes. I remember leaving my DS on for weeks at a time trying to achieve the highest score I could, in the end, I only managed 55405446. I played this while on the phone with the girlfriend… how’d she know? She could hear the rapid clicking of my thumbs on the buttons and then she’d get mad at me,...
