So tired...

No matter how much I sleep I'm still exhausted. Just lately. Like what the fuck is wrong with me? I just need a summer break I think to make me feel better. Not drinking and not staying up all night might help too...

So tomorrow night i'm going to the Press Party at school which is so so so so lame but also so cool at the same time hahaha. It's to celebrate the new press (it was $800,000.00 ... yikes). From what I hear it's in the press room and it's cash bar (ie. theres alcohol but you have to pay full price for it)....What I don't understand is how a bunch of rowdy teachers & students are going to handle having drinks with open tops around an almost million dollar press. It can only end one way and that way is not a good way.

It should be fun though. It's the kind of thing where you can get to know your teachers on a different level in a different atmosphere and see them more as friends and peers than as teachers. I think it would be fun and hilarious to see Jim & Jeanne drunk in the same room.

Other than that, I rented Battlefield Bad Company 2. Not to be confused with Battlefield 2 (apparantly). The graphics are amazing and i'm sure i'll get used to the controls. The only thing I don't like is that the size of the maps and the rate of play, although more realistic, is really slow. I've become accustomed to the fast, cut throat rate of Modern Warfare 2 where if you stop moving, you stop breathing. In BC2, you can take things at pretty much your own pace (I mean...within reason of course) and just enjoy the (beautiful) scenery.

I also downloaded the demos for Bayonetta, Splinter Cell (the new one) and Just Cause 2. I haven't gotten around to playing the Just Cause 2 demo yet but from the other two:

I love Bayonetta but I found I play it a lot like I play Super Smash Brothers...BUTTON MASHING. Which to a point is fun but that kind of game loses it's appeal to me very quickly. I'll probably buy it when it goes on sale since it's still so expensive. As for Splinter Cell, I had that game on my phone like two years ago and I loved it but again, it's not my style of game. I'm really not a Single Player person. I like communicating with people when I play. With the few exceptions of Silent Hill, Assassins Creed, Dead Space and a few others...

Anyway, this is getting REALLY long so i'll just end it here.

Cowboy Creations Update

I haven't heard anything back from the lady who asked me to do this for her yet but I decided I was going to play around with it a little bit since I was bored anyway. So I changed the colors a bit & added some stock/sample pictures to make the page a little more interesting.



That's the updated screencap. I'm going to go to her work tomorrow & see if I can find out when the next time she works is since she's been busy in the last couple weeks. I'll just bring the flash drive to her :)

Anyway, this is just an update for that. Not much else to report except that I finished my Heidelberg Speedmaster ad (pardon the compression, it's a Facebook upload)



I also finished my interview. I mean I'd already done the interview I just needed to type it up but it's typed up now and that leaves me with just a few more things to do:

1. Newspaper Spread Layout
2. 4 Page Website
3. Water Bottle Design

I think that's it. God I don't remember anymore. I'm sick of homework!

Song of the Day: "Might Like You Better" by Vaski. It's been playing in my head ALL day.

Too much wanting...

It feels like there are so many things I want right now that I can't have. And I know it's like 100% selfish to be wanting these silly things when there are people all over the world that have nothing. But just to indulge my own selfishness, i'm going to compile a list of my wants partly so I can get them out of my head, partly so that if anyone rich and famous happens to stumble upon this and feel generous, I might actually get some of these hehe!

So I guess the easiest way to do this is to categorize them:

1. Travel
-Los Angeles
-Las Vegas
-New York City
-Cancun
-Belgium
-Morocco

2. Games
-Battlefield Bad Company 2
-Heavy Rain
-Bayonetta
-Left 4 Dead 2
-Portal 2
-Fallout 3
-Assassins Creed 2

3. Swag
-Playstation 3
-LCD TV
-iPhone 3GS
-iPod Touch
-Xbox Keyboard
-Xbox Wireless Headset


That's about all I can list specifically. In addition to that, I want a $5000 Visa giftcard so I can go on a ridiculous shopping spree and buy tons of clothes and shoes lol. And also like a shit ton of new makeup just cus that's always fun to buy. And I would dye my hair the way I want it to be.

My midterm went decently well today. I was pretty sure I was going to get 100% until the last page came along and ruined my day. I really need to work on homework tonight too but I just can't get motivated. This seriously sucks. At least i'm done everything that I needed to do for tomorrow. So it's not like I need to finish anything tonight but it's seriously impossible to get focused on Wednesdays because I wake up so early.

Anyway, I suppose I should try to get started. Blahhh

Song of the Day: "Gin N Juice" by Snoop Dogg. Again, just cus

<3

Ugh whatever...

I'm exhausted. It took me all night to focus enough to study. At least I finished my presentation. Too bad it's going to be a boring piece of crap haha. A presentation about paper. Joyyyy.

I'm dying for the summer break but I know it's still pretty far away. I watched the Lil Wayne "Behind the Music" special thing tonight and learned quite a bit I didn't know about him. Not that any of it was useful or important but I like his attitude anyway.

My favorite quote from the whole special is "I don't care if it's heroin in my cup. It's my cup. Fuck you"

I couldn't have put it better myself.

This is probably going to be super short because I don't know what to write but I also felt like I wanted to update.

I have a midterm in my Print Materials class tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it's going to kick my ass but we'll see.

Okay I really dont have anything else to say so i'm gonna try and go to bed early so i'm awake for the test tomorrow :D

Song of the Day: "Mrs. Officer" by Lil Wayne just cus :)

Messssyyyyyy

Last night was fun! For the most part!

I went to Neila's new apartment, conveniently located 5 minutes away from SAIT (jealous!), and stayed the night. We were celebrating her move by having a couple friends over & partying at the Trap & Gill. The Trap is an Atlantic (newfie) themed pub attached to the Days Inn. It's fun if you like getting shit faced and not being able to talk to your friends after an hour.

I mean, I didn't get that drunk but Neila sure did!

Before we even left the house we were pre-drinking & playing drinking games. We even played Sociables Jenga style by writing the "cards" on each of the Jenga blocks and whatever you pulled was what you had to do/drink. We were all pretty much stumbling and mumbling before we even left the house. Then Neila got to the bar, ordered two double vodka sodas, short glasses (one was for me but I couldn't drink it lol), and ended up taking a total of 5 shots in a row, 4 tequila, 1 fruity girl shot.

Annnnnnd then she decided she was going to go home without telling any of us hahahha. So we spent a good 10 minutes wandering the bar & checking the bathrooms to see if we could find her and when she finally replied to my text "where r u?" (i iz gud drunk speelerr), she said "930 nlllll" which was supposed to be her address hahahaha.

Yeah. Good night. Early night, but good night.

Today I'm supposed to go see Shutter Island. I don't really want to go all the way back into Calgary today (i'm just a little bit hungover) but I suppose I am obligated lol.

I still haven't finished my presentation so i'm gonna go work on that now before I get lazy again. It's almost done I just need to put in a few more pictures to make it more visually appealing (since that's what papers all about ;))

Song of the Day: "Chariot" by Gavin Degraw. I don't even like this song but it's in Neila's honor.

Where's Yo Head At?!!!!??!?

It still feels like a lot of stuff is going on lately. I won't even bother organizing it by the day, just as it comes to me...

I took a trip to Coast Paper in the N.E. to get a paper sample book for my presentation on Mohawk's Brite Hue cover for my PRNT 218 — Print Materials class. I'm now currently in love with sample books. I want to have a whole drawer full of them! lol. I know, i'm crazy. But they're so pretty & well put together!

I really hope we get to print our business cards in Press class soon. I want to have them nowwww! haha. Too bad all of my classes business cards got lost. Ugh. Sooo lame.

I really really really really really really REALLY want Battlefield 2. If I had $80 to blow I would buy it right now. All i've been hearing are good things. And no, I will not be purchasing the new Final Fantasy game as I have not played any of the ones before that one and I would have no idea what's going on haha. I know, gamer fail. And I still need to play Heavy Rain. For realz.

I taught Alyssa how to use HTML & a little bit of CSS the other night. Hooray! So happy i'm a good teacher :D haha. Hopefully I did well on the Web Design test we had the other day that I forgot about. If I didn't, I will be tres upset aha.

Not much else exciting has gone on lately. Shawn gets here SO SOON. Like three weeks. I need to clean my room and stuff before he gets here hahaha. I'm such a messy person in my own room. Fail fail fail.

Song of the Day: "Where's Yo Head At" Remix by Basement Jaxx. It's almost summer and that's my summer anthem!

Just a Quick Hello

This will be a nice recap of the last couple days since, again, i'm proving why I fail at blogging.

So today I slept in as long as I possibly could because I really needed to catch up on sleep. I've been exhausted all week and hopefully this will make Monday a little easier. After having a shower, I kinda did my hair (not much), took the dog for a walk and went to the bank to get the money I owe my dad. This afternoon I finished the "report" part of my paper project and all I have left to do is put together the presentation. Tonight is still a mess, I have no idea what's going on but whatever happens, happens.

Yesterday I was supposed to go to class but decided I was too tired and wanted to sleep in but I ended up being woken up by calls and text messages from Shawn and my sister and yells from the top of the stairs from my mom. After that awakening, I took the dog for a walk and played a ton of MW2 and watched Justin.tv & some YouTube videos.

Thursday was business as usual at school and after school, I went home, put gas in my car, and drove back into the city to pick up Sarah. We drove around pretty much all night (stopping at Market Mall, Morgans and Wendys) and basically talked for like 5 hours about absolutely everything which made me feel SOOOO much better. It was like spilling out everything that's going on in your life and it takes so much off your shoulders. Kinda like blogging. Too bad you can't trust the internet like you can trust people. That would make ranting so much easier.

Wednesday I barely made it to class on time then went home and promptly fell asleep after a quick game of MW2 with Shea (yay for early returns from Xbox). I napped until around 6:30 then woke up & I don't even remember what I did with the rest of the night. Nothing useful i'm sure.

That's just about as far back as I can remember but all in all a very busy week. Or so it feels like. I hate those weeks where it feels like you never have a moment to catch your breath when you really aren't busy at all. Very frustrating and stressful for no reason.

I still need a job. Like really bad.

OH! And Shawn comes to Calgary for Easter! Can't wait :)

Song of the Day is "I Know You Want Me" by Pitbull because it was so nice out today it felt like summer and that's an excellent summer song!
