Since there’s no snow on the ground, I don’t really have the drive to pull out my La Canadiennes yet. I wore my “big ugly parka” (one of those long Triple Five Soul down-filled coats that were selling well in 2005) to school today and it was a bit too much, but until my tweed coat arrives (the ‘rents are in Hong Kong and are posting it from there), it’s all I have as my Soia&Kyo is too thin. Amanda/Beyonce who sits beside me in class began to wear her fake Uggs yesterday and while I usually turn my nose up to Uggs, they seem rather appropriate for this sort of dry, sub-zero weather. I saw these shearling-lined suede boots online and I felt reassured that there was something better available, not that I’ll be buying them from Harbin or anything.

On another note, I was reading about Emma and Ronni’s Oxford Srafcon and their visit to an exhibition on steampunk and it reminded me of something James said to me at a party once when he noticed that because I could not drink, I lacked a party prop. He suggested opera glasses. The last time I wanted them was when I was watching Turandot from the nosebleeds at the Bird’s Nest. This put me on an Esty quest and while I could not really find the vntage sort I was looking for, these old school fold-up binoculars caught my eye.
Kinda cool, no? Or I think so anyway.

I could really use some romance in my life.

Had a hella weird dream that mostly took place in the Tim Hortons at University and Sherbrooke just outside McGill. I’m not sure where we started but it was like a reception in a school gym or auditorium where people were mostly milling around and circulating with the small talk and such. We had to walk along Rue Sherbrooke to get there. Rizvan, this Azeri boy I had a crush on for the first week of the semester, and Anirudh from junior high (we weren’t particularly chatty and he isn’t a classmate I’ve kept in touch with) were the main stars. (more…)

Or old news if you’ve been paying attention =P
I have four less teeth than I used to and Kat arrives tonight and on Wednesday I head to China. Yup. May I direct your attention this way for a little while.

Must say, from the dinner experience ten minutes ago, my father is really the biggest hypcrite I know. I mostly sat this one out, as I really wasn’t in the mood to particiapte, but it was awful just to listen/watch. That’s all I can say though, as it concerns fam stuff. It’d also be a massive headache of hypocrisy to rewrite the entire blame spree. I hate it when people can’t take responsibility for their own actions, and moreso when they think, “I wasn’t listening/paying attention,” absolves them of responsibility for their own affairs. I wonder whether these are the defensive reactions of a person insecure about his own inaction or if he really believes it’s everyone else’s fault but his.
