Every now and then I come across something so mind-boggling, so bizarre, that I'm left sitting going "What marketing genius came up with that? And who were they sleeping with/related to in order to actually have it move from the concept to implementation stage?"

Case in point: CNN Shirt.

Ever had $15 that you didn't know what to do with? Well, why not buy a T-shirt that was auto-generated with one of their headlines from the Latest News section, the date the headline was posted, and the tagline "I just saw it on CNN.com"?

Now, I could possibly understand if they were headlines of some historical, pop-culture, or even just entertainment value — sort of a "Best of" type of thing. Or alternatively, if they were shirts with low-notability headlines but made available as free promotional items. But instead, it's a commercially-available shirt with a choice of slogans consisting of select headlines from the Latest News section, regardless of how ephemeral the story itself is.

All of which leads me to believe that their FAQ is missing the most important question: why did anybody even think that this was a good idea?

My dearest children, I am aware that I must have worried you to death, by not posting anything till now, but it is all alright, I am alive.
Second year is over and the only troubles course course I had I passed with a D...I know, not the greatest, especially since I am trying to increase my CGPA, but oh, well, as long as I don`t have to listen to that idiotic moron anymore, that`s find.

Reading my old entries was rather enjoyable, especially that one about the 1% milk, I sure am special! Now I drink only 1% milk, because my roommate, my sister, only likes 1% milk and since I am adaptive to the percentage of my milk I gave up my skim milk and we only get 1%.

It is my day off from work and I don`t really like it as much as I thought I would, I feel like I should be at work, since I have no studying to do, I feel void. I watch Sailor Moon this morning, did some proof reading of my little short HP fic, which is now finished and now, I am trying to come up with something useful to do, which doesn`t require sitting in from of the computer. My plan for the summer was to spend my time doing things which I don`t have time to do during the school year, like for example: reading, I have already finished one book The alchemist, and now I am half way through a second one, Buddha; I also want to do some writing, which i have already done today, some sketching and painting and stuff like that. I want to play piano as well, but I need to be home for that. I was going to go home last night, but I got lazy, I am going home on saturday night anyways...so might as well wait till then.

I got new speakers! WOOOT I bought then actually for my new desktop which I got from my brother, but they are pure awesomeness that I don`t want to let them go home :(
Oh, well, I suppose I must survive with the built in speakers on my laptop. The desk top is pretty cool though, I am very glad I have it, because in case my lap top decides to go on permanent strike again, I will have this desktop which will never do that to me (don`t try and convince my otherwise).

I have made some life choices since last year, which I hope I can follow through with. I have decided that I would like to go to Scotland to do my masters after I finish my undergrad, Cat (my very very very dear friend) has agreed to come with. Although nothing can be too solid, I believe that this is something which I have the power to make. I feel like i am old enough now, that if I decide on something like that I can easily make it come true. I would also like to take some cooking courses through the next ten years or so. I have always loved cooking and baking and i never though that it would be actually something I would do. I love biology and I don`t want to let it go, but life is long and I believe that if I truly wish, I can do both (probably not both at the same time). So this is where I stand right now. The most important thing for me right now is the same as last year, which is focus on my studies and get the best marks possible. I feel like I am already better than last year, that is partially thanks to the people whom I befriended in my same field, who help indirectly to push me towards studying and focusing more. I know that I am lazy and I hate studying. This summer I want to focus on beating laziness out of me. I want to try and get the most out my days and hopefully lose some weight which will give me energy and, well, I all sort of works together to shaping me into the person I want to be.
Lately I have been thinking about myself and how I have changed. I realized, that I have become an adult. I haven`t it yet till now. I find it extremely saddening. It isn`t anything particular in my behavior, but mostly, the way I think has changed. I feel like I am lose some of that childishness that has been in me till of late. I am uncertain weather I want to fight it or not, I know this happens to everyone, but I am a little bit worried that I will lose my dreams, or that my dreams will become too practical...

The weirdest thing! Mom was talking about how she would like to go to Nova Scotia for a visit this summer and we were talking about may June 22nd. I was browsing Facebook and I say that there was this event which Mr B was organizing where old band members would be playing and I thought, that would be soo great if I see (even better if i could be in it, lol, but I have a feeling it might be just band and no choir) and I though, oh, it`s probably some time soon, I wonder what the date is...June 22nd! :O
That just makes me want to go even more! So I have been looking at flights and, well they are expensive, but if I should be able to pay it off with 1.5 pay checks...so, I going to talk to mom and also look at how much a bus would cost (although I hate long rides like that :S ) and I really really really really really SUPER REALLY want to go!

I think I will end this here and go do something productive, I think I will make some chicken for chicken salad and then may be clean the bathroom.

Cheers my lovelies!

So, at four in the morning I get woken up by my cell phone. It was set to vibrate (no idea how that managed to wake me up, but whatever, it did); by the time I woken up enough to figure out what that strange buzzing noise was, it had stopped. I look at the phone. It's my mom. I wait a few minutes and, sure enough, there's a message. So, all anxious ('cause there has to be a really good reason as to why she's calling me at such a strange time), I check the message.

Can I please pick her up one of the cast-iron pots that are going to be on sale today?


My mother is special.
