Stupidity

I thought today was Wednesday so I went up to SFU after work. Below is a list of alarm bells I missed:
1) See Julie at Production station when I've never seen her there before
2) The assignment box let out a crisp *clunk when I dropped in my assignment, indicating that the box was strangely empty.
3) Class was strangely empty.


*Sigh...

Remembrance Day


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Cannery Fish House

Wow is that place crazy expensive or what! If it wasn't raining, the view of the stars would've been magnificent. The waiters were kinda weird though.

Exam M!!!

I woke up today at around 5:15am. It was too early; my alarm haven't even went off yet. I tried to get another 45 minutes of sleep but it didn't work that well. Since my mom wasn't up yet, I just drank a glass of milk and nuked a little rice dumpling thing that I found in the fridge before I left. The stupid Westcoast Express website is wrong! An add-fare costs $3.75--a whole $1.50 more!!! I took the Westcoast Express to downtown and spent 4 hours in a room being tortured by Exam M. I'm pretty sure I passed; at least I did according to the PAK. I'll know for sure when the exam gets released later tonight. I literally LOL-ed when I saw "actuarial idol". Those crazy bastards in the SOA :).

iTunes v7.0.2

I finally decided to go to iTunes 7. I had the slightest hope that it will be able to pick up the album arts of my all my Chinese music, and of course, iTunes failed miserably--though it managed to get Ivana's first album's cover. Hmmm.

So here I am contemplating whether I should invest in the CRAZY amount time needed to put album art on all my 187 albums. Some of them will be impossible because I really have no clue what CD some of my classical stuff is from. Nevertheless, it would be so cool if I can scroll through cover flow with all the album art!!!

Oh wtf... iTunes 7 can't sync Outlook 2k to my iPod!!! It needs 2k3??!?! Damn you Apple!!!
