Last night, I discovered by chance that JP owned the whole box of all 5 seasons of Ally McBeal, which really surprised me because I know that Ally McBeal was never released on DVD in the US. It turned out that he loved the show so much that he went online and bought it from some chinese website for a hundred bucks (I'm sure someone in China is ( Read more... )

I'm in the midst of finals right now, and it's such a pain in the ass! The night before, I pulled an all-nighter for the genetics final yesterday cuz I had skipped too many classes. Then, after class, I had dinner with Zh and his friends at a malaysian restaurant, which turned out to be a  huge disaster. It was so painful talking to these people. ( Read more... )

I still clearly remember doing guard duty one hot afternoon when I was still a cadet. My buddy and I were all worn-out from an exercise that week, and it was just foul luck to have to prowl on a weekend instead of sleeping through the weekend (and then wondering why the weekend just flew by hella fast).

When fall and winter come, the endless weeping rain nourish the pastures and turn the rolling hills a happy green ( Read more... )

I chanced across someone's blog yesterday, and I was really impressed by the way he writes about philosophy. I wish I had a better flair for writing, or a better grasp of philosophy.... Unfortunately, a minor in philosophy means exactly that, so I am going to be content with my minor grasp of philosophy and keep reading... *sad ( Read more... )

Today, I went to Borders to read again. It's become a nice little habit of mine to read during my free time and since I was done with my run and denied entrance at a sold-out performance on-campus, I thought I would go do some reading ( Read more... )

I have always hated being born in the 80s. Somehow or another, growing up in that era didn't seem that fun at all. Post-80s is an era marked by knowledge explosion and moral responsibilities, well, to me at least. I don't know why I think so, and I'm not saying that I wanna get high 24/7 in a pre-HIV, LSD-loving world though the political upheavals ( Read more... )
