Question time
1. What's your HSX portfolio worth and what's the most valuable movie stock you're currently holding?
I haven't been keeping up with my HSX stocks enough lately, so I'm not doing as well as I could be. :P But anyway, my portfolio's current net worth is H$7,421,103.46, and my highest-valued MovieStock is Spider-Man 3 (SPID3) at H$172.92/share.

2. Don't miss the total lunar eclipse this Wednesday night!
I'll try not to; thanks for the reminder! :)

[ + ]last thing you laughed at: The fact that the color on the special red part of the new Canadian limited edition colored coins comes off if you rub it a little bit.
[ + ]last time you cried: I can't remember.

.PRESENT.
[ + ]what's in your CD player: Pandemoniumfromamerica.
[ + ]what color socks are you wearing: White, actually, though I don't usually wear socks at home.
[ + ]what's under your bed: The floor and half of a puzzle.
[ + ]what time did you wake up today: 10:38

.FUTURE.
[ + ]what is your career going to be: How the crap should I know?
[ + ]where are you going to live: Earth.
[ + ]how many kids do you want: I don't know. Would I even want any? *shrugs* Are they good kids or bad kids?
[ + ]what kind of car will you drive: Probably something practical. Hopefully it won't be too hard to park.

.CURRENT.
[ + ]current hair: Pretty much how it always looks.
[ + ]current clothes: PJs.
[ + ]current annoyance: My head. Never-ending assignments and projects.
[ + ]current longing: Lack of headaches, enough sleep, an end to the never-ending assignments and projects, time to breathe.
[ + ]current desktop picture: The Lord of the Nazgûl...ROTK special extended edition DVD, December 14.
[ + ]current favorite music artist: Our Lady Peace.
[ + ]current book: The same books that have been current for the last two months, damn it. I'm on Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings (the last one is F), plus a few other books that I've started and have yet to finish.
[ + ]current worry: The aforementioned never-ending assignments and projects.
[ + ]current hate: See above.
[ + ]story behind your username: Been my nickname since 1996 when I saw a movie, got the Internet, and needed a screenname.
[ + ]current favorite article of clothing: My old blue hooded jacket sweater. It doesn't necessarily look that good, but it's comfy.

[ + ]favorite color: Purple, blue, black...depends.
[ + ]favorite flavor: Uh, for what? I guess chocolate, or strawberry, or peach, depending what for.

Version 2.11
New layout, which I've been wanting to put up for, oh, a month now? Since the beginning of Fall? Oh well, beter late than never. Then again, since Daylight Savings Time ends Oct. 31, we're not "falling back" for another 2 weeks or so, so maybe this layout isn't late, it's early. Hehe. I like my logic.

Anyway, got a lot of readings to catch up on before my test, so I'm gonna keep doing that now. Talk to you later!

HOW long 'til December 14...?
Dudes!! There's a new sneak preview video of ROTK extended up at LordOfTheRings.Net! Don't watch it, though, if you don't like spoilers...I watched about half of it, then stopped because, while I do already know what happens and such, I don't need to SEE it in advance. :) Guess I like the suspense of waiting...

Anyway, just thought I'd share, lol. Gotta go - Dom Monaghan's gonna be on TV aaany minute now (on a talk show called Jimmy Kimmel Live, which I've never actually watched before, but I figure now's as good a time as any). :)

Later!

I want to live under a rock
Right. Well, this assignment isn't going to get any better, ever, so I'm just going to print the stupid thing and move on. I'm serious: the thing is hideous, and I really have no clue whatsoever what I was even trying to do and quite frankly, I can tell you all now that whatever I DID do was wrong. Just plain W-R-O-N-G. Now, I know I've complained, whined, self-deprecated, or what have you in past instances, but THIS time, I really MEAN it. I'm not kidding in the slightest; I'm handing in an awful assignment tomorrow morning, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's a ridiculous assignment to give for a friggin' 10%, too. Hath thou no mercy, whichever evil university god is responsible for this?

On tomorrow's agenda (a.k.a., what's due Wednesday):
- Astronomy quiz (which I have to do online by tomorrow night)
- Finance assignment (which I had planned to get done last week so I wouldn't have to worry about it, but CLEARLY I can't plan properly)
- Theory&Policy assignment (which I have yet to actually look at and wouldn't know what to do with anyway)

Had the house all to myself today and couldn't even take advantage of it. That's just wrong. Alone house-time and I don't even get to have quiet reading time, watch really old videos, or otherwise profit from it? There is no justice in the world. :) I did make peanut butter cookies though, this morning. Just because I was so incredibly bored and still had (have) absolutely no idea how to proceed with the Mgmt. Accounting assignment.

Such is the life. There's a reason I called this week Hell-ish...

I feel stupid and contageous...

Are we compatible?
I've finally edited the template so that my blog doesn't look like crap in resolutions other than 800x600. There's nothing I can do about making this compatible to the 640x480 resolution, but really, how many people could be using that?

So yes; thankfully the header image isn't swimming off to one side anymore...AND each of the three columns is equidistant from the others instead of there being a larger gap between two of them. Symmetry is nice sometimes.

In other news, I have zero to negative ability to work today, which is utterly awful since I really need to. Heelllllp!!

Sick and tired
Yeah, I think I may have the beginnings of a cold or something. Not good. This is the time when I have to work on all those assignments due only a few days from now. Too bad my immune system's not really cooperating all that well. Could be worse, though; at least I don't have that awful cough/difficult breathing problem Susan's been having... :/

Apparently I was more nervous to do our group presentation today than I realized; while I was doing my part of the presentation, I could feel myself shaking while I talked, and after I was finished I was still shaking. Weirdest thing. Never happened like that before. I was just like "Um, what's going on? What's wrong with me?" Really, I don't remember ever having that happen before, even in my ultra-ultra-shy days...

At least my presentation can provide me with one [slightly] amusing tidbit: last night, when I was reading through my part aloud, I was supposed to say "Canada and the US, Europe, Central and South America, and the Middle East." But, wouldn't you know it -- I said "and the Middle-earth" instead. Ay carumba! I couldn't believe I said it. But there it is; the definitive proof that I really AM a geek, if you still needed proof. Could also have been because it was 1:00 AM and I was a little out of it... :)

Okay, gotta go read a case for Management Accounting class so I can work on it with my group (not the same group I presented with today...that was for Business Information Systems class) tomorrow. BAH!
