i usually bookmark sites when im just browsing the internet and come across something that i might not have time to read right away. i use the typing-into-the-address-bar-and-wait-for-it-to-find-the-link technique for most of my "usual" sites. now that im writing my thesis (thats right DB, this "silly high school student" is 6 months away from finishing her 4 year undergrad. how time flies) im finding myself bookmarking a shedload of online journals and whatnot.

hahahahah!

it snowed in toronto on thursday. snow in october is depressing. it hailed on saturday. skylights and hail are not a good combination. really bloody noisy. been pretty cold and miserable the past few days.

when i was working in london over the summer i was up by 7:30 every morning and at work by 9. now that im back at uni and my earliest class is 11am i dont get up until 10 most mornings. i like getting up early, so i can make the most of my day. harder in practice though and it does take me a while to get going.

watched brick on monday. it was kind of a high school twist on film noir.

i use 7 fingers. pinky's not at all. and my 4th finger on my right hand seems to be used for punctuation and backspace only.

the new TV on the Radio is really good.

just saw Little Miss Sunshine - very funny!

a group of people in my course did a short documentary on a guy in montreal who got all of his food for the week in a single middle-of-the-night trip to grocery store dumpsters. really interesting topic.

i like the new snow patrol album.

saw "thank you for smoking" on saturday night. very funny satire!

i hate snakes. just seeing this pictures sends shivers down my spine. i remember having a small snake fall out of a tree and landing on me when hiking.

i reckon taylor will win it too. it will be between him and katherine.

i still watch it mostly for the comments. dont really watch the elimination show though.

mostly listening to matisyahu.

i friggin hate everything about the dentist. i can smack off pavement skateboarding, fall on the hill and be fine (well, relatively) but i HATE the uncomfortable pain of someone poking and prodding (at the very least) my mouth. i usually just close my eyes, clench fists etc. but my new dentist also has a flat screen tv which is nice.

every second day for me too. i dont have time to blow dry it everyday.

the heating in our place in toronto is terrible. the setting its on now makes the entire apartment hot and sticky but if we put it down one setting on the thermostat the place is really cold. there is no happy medium. i actually prefer to be cold than hot. i hate waking up hot and then having to go outside to the below zero temps.

skateboard and snowboard goofy.

i havent had the flu for years until last week when i was in bed last monday and tuesday with the darn thing. also managed give both my housemates the same thing. we were all quite a mess. the body aches are terrible, take an ibuprofen. drink lots of water to keep you hydrated and just stay in bed.

is this the ad? http://youtube.com/watch?v=w4O6VxWzlWc&search=Where%20the%20bloody%20hell%20are%20you%3F%26quot%3B bloody terrible!

wear jeans all the time and pretty much wear them until their bitter end - holes and tears and all.

people in planes - joaquin phoenix just directed their music video. they are welsh and pretty good. pilotdrift - the singer kinda sounds like matt belamy from muse but the music is cool, lots of instruments and funky parts.

hahaha bushpig. beta tapes were bloody massive

i drink alot of water in the evening when i am at home. easily drink 6-8 glasses in the space of a few hours. i dont drink that much during the day. maybe a few glasses with lunch. and if i have my nalgene bottle with me i will fill it up at every possibility, so can easily drink 2L.
