• I want to change my signature. My current one has become too minimalistic for my tastes, so I'm thinking of replacing it with an entirely different one that has more flourishes.. Problem is, I've already used the minimalistic signature on my passport, my UP ID, my bank account, and pretty much everything else. So it'll probably be a bitch to change. :|
• Also, I am looking for a copy of The Triplets of Belleville/Les Triplettes de Belleville, which I am thinking of analyzing for my undergrad thesis. I have to watch it first, tho. XD Does anyone have a copy I can borrow? If you're willing to download it for me and burn me a DVD, I'll pay you. :D
• Mmm, fonts. I love being able to use TV, movie, and product logo fonts in presentations.
• Now off to spend my day napping/reorganizing my library.

I do feel that literature should be demystified. What I object to is what is happening in our era: literature is only something you get at school as an assignment. No one reads for fun, or to be subversive or to get turned on to something. It's just like doing math at school. I mean, how often do we sit down and do trigonometry for fun, to relax. I've thought about this, the domination of the literary arts by theory over the past 25 years -- which I detest -- and it's as if you have to be a critic to mediate between the author and the reader and that's utter crap. Literature can be great in all ways, but it's just entertainment like rock'n'roll or a film. It is entertainment. If it doesn't capture you on that level, as entertainment, movement of plot, then it doesn't work. Nothing else will come out of it. The beauty of the language, the characterisation, the structure, all that's irrelevant if you're not getting the reader on that level -- moving a story.

• If I'm in my fourth and final year, does that qualify me as "graduating"? Or will I get that status (and thus CRS enlistment priority) during the second sem, when I'm actually going to do my thesis?
• Also, if you pre-enlist for two different subjects in the same timeslot, will CRS ignore both of them? I've already got 12 units, but I still need either PI 100 or an MST, both of which are a bitch to get.

• Shia looks gorgeous.
• Also, my schedule for the first sem looks kind of... wonky. 8:30 am-5:30 pm? Ick.
• I, too, feel like Joe D'Mango a lot these days.
• A source of unending fascination.

• Happy Mother's Day!
• The Lolcat Bible. Don't hurt me, Jesus.
• Having trouble opening Office 07 documents?
• Keeping the house as neat and tidy as the parents want isn't easy. But now that they're coming home from Macau in a few hours, I can go back to being my lazy old self.
• I so do enjoy not having to make my paragraphs coherent. I just can't get over it.

• Rarely do I fall in love at first sight.
• The Joker's underappreciated fashion sense.
• Little people, just trying to make it in the big city.
• Oh, you French. Just when I thought you couldn't get any more decadent.
• What is it with all these child-killing/-molesting Europeans??
