Salutations and salubrious bon bons.

I think my hormones are out partying. I say that because im feeling miserable. I think i have good reasons but they're probably not. I have an assignment due in approximately 10 minutes (11.59pm) and i still don't know how to do it. Sick of it already too. Stupid assignment. If i seem to always be doing assignments, its because i have so many of them. Once one is due, two more have materialised. Its like some really spastic video game with far too many monsters and not enough big guns.

*suyin takes out Huge Black Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction and blasts the stupid assignment*

*stupid assignment cowers and tries to hide under the bed but its TOO LATE!!! MWAHAHAHAH!*

Okay. Now i have to go photocopy it off someone.

Various Thoughts :

1. What is free will.? Are humans just chemicals that receive and respond to the chemicals and waves in our environment, or do we actually control our own physical states by some higher order function. Wait. why did i type higher order function. You know what that means in my COMP1011 course? Something akin to blah :: Eq a => [a] -> (a -> b) -> (b -> c) ... I think. I skipped one lecture. Yes, only ONE.

2a. Philosophy is irritating and annoying and philosophers really do just sit around and talk and think. How is this related to chemicals or the purposes of evolution, besides the discussion of them? Heck if i know. Maybe philosophy is more fun for smart people. Maybe i actually like it but i don't feel like saying so. But i still have to write three essays.

3. A breast upon a reclined body resembles a wobbly pudding turned out of a shallow bowl. With half a maraschino cherry for visual effect.

Sa*la"cious: n. [L. salax, -acis, fond of leaping, lustful, fr. salire to leap. See Salient.] Having a propensity to venery; lustful; lecherous. Dryden. -- Sa*la"cious*ly, dv. -- Sa*la"cious*ness, n.

2b. Im not going to take Philosophy again if i can help it. But that means i have to take more computing, which always exponentially increases the amount of assignments i have. Very disproportionate.

4. Anyone who thinks physics is more useful than psychology is silly. or a physicist. Or silly. The study of human nature vs. the study of nature - as classified by humans. Psychology is the science that deals with observing in order to understand, predict, and control human behaviour... think of the possibilities...! Of course, i am biased.

Things to do: Computing assignment 3 : 2 modules in total. One of which is impossible. (due: just now)
                           Psychology statistics assignment. Goodness knows what its all about. (due: in a day or so)
                           Practise my violin. i suspect my violin teacher has only so much forgiveness in him.
                           Study for maths test...Some topic.

5. Ricky Martin (Ballguard of Life) Cannot Dance. I saw bits of a one hour concert on the tv last night. He looked like an idiot. Maybe he was tired since i only saw the end bits, but it doesn't explain why he chose to move to elaborate rhythms by spreading out his arms and spinning round and round like some drunk/bored 8 yr. old.

6. Singapore weather is bad for the skin. When i went back, um. it suddenly became very... bumpy. Then upon flying back, in a day, i suddenly had flat skin again. Not going back anymore.

Pus"tule: (?; 135), n. [L. pustula, and pusula: cf. F. pustule.] (Med.) A vesicle or an elevation of the cuticle with an inflamed base, containing pus. Malignant pustule. See under Malignant.

7. BLEEEAAAARRGHHH.

8. Feel like shit. Life is the shits. Who gives a shit.

Message from my stuffed mouse: "Hello." ( ...climbs up and sits on pillow-podium... )
"Who are you? Do you have cheese?" (...smooths a whisker...Looks around...) "This is boring. No one's listening to me. Can i go now?"

9. I am not an unattractive blob, nor acerbic, nor abrasive. i only act that way.

10. I should have sequestered my heart,

But I feel better now.
