Warning : Today’s entry lacks even more coherence than normaly, just wanted to let you know.

• My provincial minister of health looks like the dude in CSI, really! Now if only politics were as twisted as episodes of that show… although, I think I prefer those crimes scenes to stay in fiction, and on the other side of the continent.
• I finally received my adorable & shiny & wonderful external Lego Hard Drive! It’s the bomb! It’s much smaller than I thought it would be and it works perfectly fine. I can’t wait to connect it to my future mac laptop! It will be so CUTE. Unfortunatly, my perfect laptop bag is still only available in pink and black. When will red be back in stock?
• I voted for the new 7 wonders of the world, have you? Please don’t vote for something stupid like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty. It’s supposed to be a wonder not corny. If you’ve seen a lot of ugly refridgerator magnets made out of something you want to vote for, please think about it twice.
• Yesterday’s Sinfest has once again showed just how terribly poignant that comic is (but it can also be so derisive) ! And Sheldon Comics is terribly hilarious, I want a talking duck too :)
• The Oscars : The Danish Poet & Happy Feet won for best animated short & film. I’m so happy caus it was the only ones I had seen :) And also… Kate Winslet was so beautiful in her green dress. Wow. Not that she isn’t always very pretty and classy.
• I went to saturday’s birthday p arty for both Daniel & Alexandre and it was a blast. I actually played DDR. More than once. I don’t think I need to discuss in much details how much alchool units ingested that required. The good answer is fairly simple : too much. On the plus side, still never sick. But on the low side, I was drunk when I got up the next morning. I will never ever ever again drink this much. Please remind me of this whenever you see me next drinking.
• The last week was wonderful, I went at my parent’s chalet with my best friend (she drove, I was the trusty co-pilot) and we made good slow food ( 9 hours long beer stew ), warmed next to the toasty fire each evening and went skiing 2 days at the Mont Blanc. It was really impressive to see just how huge the demographics of people wearing helmets increased in the last years since I went skiing. I was really happy to borrow my dad’s just because it was so much warmer. More security is just an added bonus!
• I got A- in my Theory of Colour : Application in the Visual Arts digital essay! Yay me!
• This blog entry scares me. To think a candidate could encourage terrorism makes me wince at the highest degree. I do think that the oil industry is in the wrong most of the time, but that does not mean putting bombs under their cars is not a very wrong illegal act! Where can that woman come from to even think it, not to mention write it down in a web forum?
• I wore earrings I bought on my own when I was a child. It was the first time I bought something that wasn’t candy. I was 12 I think. They are very cute silver stars and they cost a huge 12$ back then.

Thanks to DamnInteresting.com I stumbled on this masterpiece of film tradition : the Wilhelm scream. It’s so weird, I’ve seen a lot of those movie sbut I had never noticed the similarity of the screams! it’s so nifty. And also disturbing. But in a nice geeky way. Good to know even sound people have humour!

I got 39.2% - Major geek on the geek test! It’s all Mike’s fault who mentioned it.  I guess I wanted to be able to brag about it, it isn’t too bad of a result but then half of the points I got are due to my big brothers and their nether influence on a pure, young and innocent little girl such as myself. Because otherwise I doubt I would ever had as much Star Trek / Star Wars / Roleplaying / various trivia

I just got out of my class and even with the “mild” annoyance of being the last to know that the 3D animation is due next week (I went to bed at 2:30 am to finish it in time) and I feel like my life is almost back in balance. It’s horribly cold and windy today, with gusts going through my coat as if it was a lacy mesh instead of boiled wool but the sun is shining outside and within. I got through the worst part of the mid-semester even if my FFAR essay is still unfinished. I only have one week to suffer before the break and I plan to breathe and get back on all the delay I got stuck with at the very beginning of the semester. I might even go skiing with Judith at Mont-Blanc for a few days just on our own with a rented car :D How awesome is that!

Last night was also very eventful concerning that design company I had joined back in November and quit in January. It appears that some decisions were taken and things are about to change. The future is definitely as open as the sky with tons of possibilities and that feels awesome. (…) My brother just called and we talked a little while. He had read my last post and wanted to know if I was feeling better. Awwww. He also wanted to talk with the parents, but that’s not as glamorous is it? And anyway, how not to feel terribly better when you receive such an adorable email from your niece?

JE TAIME XXXXXXXXXO :-) :-) XOOXOX 8-) OXOXOOXO :-[ BEAUCOU :-[ :-[
:-* :-P

I’m trying really hard to act as if all the things I have due for University and life in general  are feasible, but I think I have to finally accept that they aren’t in the state that I’m in. I think I’m really depressed, somehow I spent the whole weekend in a sort of half awake stupor. I studied saturday afternoon only to wake up at 11pm in my couch when the light that is set on the timer audibly “clicked” off. I went to sleep in my bed, I woke up and started thinking about the guest speaker conference I had friday morning in my 3D class. All my childhood I wanted to do special effects in cinema, when I got to college my parents convinced me it would be better to start broad to have strong bases than to go directly in a very specific program. So I started Fine Arts, then I went into a very cool Multimedia program where I discovered that I really like making websites. With the years I stopped believing I could made it into special effects… I was deceiving myself that I was also passionate by making websites, I like them but not anywhere near I wish I could. Now, now I know that there are tons of jobs in both the cinema and video games companies. I just need to try. I need to try really hard.  It’s both liberating and also terryfing. My brothers made fun of me as a child, saying they’d have to financially support me if I really became an artist or something…

Suddenly, the room got cold. The sun had set and I was still in PJ, I still didn’t had breakfast and all I had done for a full day was thinking. I didn’t do a single thing that was due (1… 2.. weeks ago?) for University and I will probably not sleep a whole lot tonight.  But… I think it just might have been worth it. I still feel like total crap, but I feel like crap that has potential. I really have to get started working caus I owe Debbie a *fluffybunny*load. I didn’t work on what I said I would, I didn’t show up to her party and I didn’t even call her.
