I got my copy of Zelda for Game Cube 2 days ago. I've been playing it whenever I have time ever since. After I'm done with my exam in 2 days, chances are I'll be consumed by the game. It's nothing particularly amazing, but I've set aside my Christmas break just for it.
Watch this commercial and be mind boggled. I had to watch it three times to get an idea of how they've done it before I finally looked at the page. It's awesome like that.
How does one create the ultimate beauty that is procrastination? Well here's an interesting story...
It started a week ago. I had a lab report, an essay (at the VERY minimum 8 pages) and an inclass test this week. I had plently of time to prepare, but who wanted to work when you just handed in a thick slab of paper on wednesday? So I told myself, I'll work on the weekend... but nooooo, I should have known better than attempt on trying working in weekends.
So a weekend of fun, fair enough, I still have monday, tuesday and wednesday to prepare for my lab thursday, and my paper and test friday. Monday came with a delightful e-mail from my Professor saying how the lab report is dued next monday instead of thursday. Wonderful news really, but on retrospect, it just made the situation more desperate. So tuesday came... a struggling day of trying to attempt to work, ended up with a full day of DSing. Wednesday... similar story. By thursday you figured it'd be finally time. So I decided to wake up early to work. Guess what, another attempt on trying to work. Plus I had a class that day from 5-8. I even got out of class early, but I sat around until 11ish. Took a shower, finally decided to try to work.
No dice. I was sleepy. So I wasted more time debating between sleeping and coughing up the paper in less than 11 hours of time while preparing for the inclass test. Classic me act, really. By 3, I had nothing down on Microsoft Word, and I decided to power nap till 4:15.
Huge, huge mistake. I woke up at 6:15ish. At this time I had about an 8:5 page to hour ratio. Still doable, I thought.
I shifted around the chair some more, and finally started typing at 7. By then it was a 8:4 ratio, which means I needed 2 pages per hours at least. Still doable, I thought.
I looked at the clock after some lax typing and shifting... it's now 8. I had one page of ridiculous nonsense done. so I'm down to 7:3, fair enough.
Look at the time now, it's now 9am and I have 1.5 page done. Assuming I can pull of the inhuman speed of 3 pages per hour I might stand a chance with this 6:2 page/time ratio. But hey! I'm still typing right now... on this blog. Meanwhile, the page/time ratio keep on increasing, like some kinda of gigantuan gaping blackhole.
This paper is going in late with a (hopefully) 20% penalty. Oh don't forget the inclass test too! It's realy Wunderbar. If I survive this son of a bitch course (Language impairment in developing children) I'll be tackling the Lab due on monday. Go me, I have mastered the most artistic way of fondling myself and leaving a mess - a.k.a. procrastination.
Just yesterday it was raining, but now it snows (for a little while anyways). Do you remember when you first experienced snow? I was on the bus when some girl raised that question. Honestly, even though it was only about ten years ago, I couldn't remember how I felt when I first saw snow. I was excited to see it for the first time in my life, but now it's just... a normal thing.
It's a pity such a beautiful phenomenon can only be appreciated truly when it's experienced in rarity. I think that's the nature of all things really - revolving around the curiousity and triviality within us.
Are you willing to give your baby away (assuming you have one) for 24 hours in order to get your hands on a free Play Station 3? Some people think so. A radioshow in Minneapolis proposed that if parents are willing to trade in their baby for 24 hours, they get a PS3 for free. You'll be shocked at how willing some people are. Some highlights:
"...He's a month old right? How many nights would you let us have the baby for, tonight, AND tomorrow night?..." "Yeah" "you can't call and check up on your baby though" "okay"
Truly disgusting.

What is it?It's simply a Nintendo DS game that kicks ass. If you love manga's, that is. The game basically plays like a super smash bro. replica, replaced with tons of characters from different mangas and many more supporting characters that pull off support attacks/defense moves Marvel vs Capcom style. Sadly it's only available in Japan.
What's great about it is that it actually introduced me to new manga's to read. Gintama and Katekyo Hitman Reborn are becoming my tracked mangas now :D
