Happy pre-easter

(it was nasty)

Easter Basket

My classmate had made an easter basket for her son and figured that she'd make two extra for me and our other teammate. Wheeee!

(yes, this is where I got the hatching chick from :P But not sponge bob!)

Munchkins!

Best part of taking 8:30 HelpDesk shifts to make sure you're awake on days that you have no class (other than when you go back to sleep after those shifts half the time). It's sort of curious why they're still using the Christmas boxes, but whatever!

On Firecrackers

As my brother and I accompanied my aunt's largest dog on his nightly jaunt through the park, unseen firecrackers went off in the distance, as they have been for the last two weeks as we approach the new year. Although the firecrackers were almost definitely set by children, their explosions resounded quite loudly and car alarms would be set off in denser parts of the city. Not in this gated community though, with lots of cute little two story houses with fences and dogs; the firecrackers and us were otherwise alone in the still night.

"It's all very World War II," I said, thinking of all those tired movies about London during the war.

"...it is, isn't it?"

The scene was all the more chouetty because we still had our long coats and scarves on, and he even had on his leather dress shoes. Neither of us, unfortunately had hats and I lacked a beau overseas in uniform. Life is hard sometimes.

These days, with the gender balance set, I just walk around the house until I find a bathroom with the toilet seat down.

My father has spent about a week at home, using up his holidays and the sheer boredom of it all has gotten him sick. My mother, who like me and most other people, enjoy the sheer ennui, has gotten sick and is now watching Chinese soaps with the most miserable and sick-looking face. My habit of sleeping 10-12 hours a day during the holidays have kept me relatively healthy.

As everyone promised, Dexter is awesome. Watching the last episode of the second season as I type. It's been very heartwarming to see him develop more feelings as the show goes on, although I'm not sure whether it's artfully done or just sloppiness from the show's writers now that they're doing original stories and not adapting from the Dexter books. Eh. It's rather engaging anyway.

I read somewhere that it's less intelligent people who get so drawn into tv shows, since they have a harder time discriminating that those little people in the box are not real people. Helas. It means more entertainment for me, I suppose!

Happy holidays to you all, and I suppose I should check WTCP to see how you all are doing :)
