My friend really needed someone to come and model for her. Now, the original plan had been for me to go all indie kid and do a video using the songs another of our friends had made - unfortunately none of the outfits worked. Being indie is HARD.
Anyway, so it's 4am, we are tired and cranky and really just wanna curl into our perspective beds and crash, but we need to do something! Anyway, that something entails me singing Mario Kart Love Song in a sexy princess peach costume - compliments of Gottakon, because I wore it at Gottakon and it was still in my duffel bag. So here it is, it's scratchy and off beat and over laps in places... but it's ok and fun.

I'm Reading a Book ~ Song
Sometimes I feel like this. Honestly, the only time anyone ever 'gets on my nerves' is when I'm mind deep in a great book and my loved ones want me to pay attention to them.
And not just loved ones... sometimes I look up in class at the teacher - while I'm reading and they notice or comment - and I really just wanna tell them to fuck off, I'm taking notes, I'm paying attention, now let me get back to my awesome demon slaying, vampire hunter, death of a rat, C'thulu Mythos, dragon riding splendor.
I don't, but I reaaaally want to...

Atheist Take on Christianity
Christianity:
The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father will remove and evil that is present in all mankind IF you symbolically cannibalize his flesh and drink his blood, then telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

The Beginning of the World
There once was an electron named Lance
Met a positron he could romance
for a short while they dated
and then copulated
in hopes of filling the expanse.
But as they got underway
one particle was heard to sat
just cancel out
you infinitesimal clout
we wont fill up space in that way.

I Want to be Evil ~ Eartha Kitt
Eartha Kitt was a corner stone of Nerd History is as such that she played Catwoman in the 1960's Batman TV Series. Not only that, but she was also was an amazing singer with a quirky sense of humor. This song, I Want to be Evil, came out in 1962, and is witty, dashing, and positively adorable! -it also is kinda scary with the facial expressions... just a warning.

Matisyahu ~ One Day
Matisyahu swept the nation with, get this, his Jewish Reggae Rap. Matisyahu really came forward to the international music forefront in 2005, when he his document entitled Live. The guy is amazing, and his music is wonderful.
Ludo ~ Whipped Cream ~ Song
I'm not an official 'Indie', nor do I claim to listen to abstract music... hell, I don't even know if Ludo IS indie, but here is my crazy awesome abstract song for the day:
Enjoy darlings :3

Epic Raids
My new roommate is a major WoW player, and I can't blame him. He works an on call retail job with excessive hours, and doesn't have a lot of social - or free - time to set up board games or d&d games or the like. How this effects me is that with WoW constantly being played in the house I am reminded more and more of the catchy WoW parodied tunes by WeGame.com
For your enjoyment darlings, I have here the song that has been stuck inside my cranium for two days now.

Reme ~ The Real Deal
Some people are born into greatness, some find it along the way, and some build a Mario Go-Kart and dress up like the man himself while driving around the city throwing banana's at oncoming traffic.

Portal
Portal 2 is on its way to being released, and I am shunned and horrified that so many nerds I hang out with just turn to me and say "oh, Portal... ya I plan on playing that," when I ask for their opinion.
For anyone unaware of Portal and all its glory, the story revolves around a woman who is given a portal-gun and put through multiple levels of difficulty in order to test the weapon against turret-guns or across pits of fire and death. The platform is relatively simple, with your character going from level to higher level of difficulty, until you reach the 'big boss'.
What is so amusing, and what really stands out about Portal, is its comedic value. Throughout this short game you are instructed by a sociopathic computer gone wrong whose ultimate goal is to see you terminated. She tempts you with cake and parties to try and get you to finish particularly hard simulations, and openly admits to her lies and deceit later on.
With witty commentary, open sarcasm, and an assortment of humorous to horrifying circumstances, the game makes for one short piece of delicious virtual gaming cake.

What? Where Am I? OMG IM LATE!
So I get this call mid afternoon yesterday from an old friend in a pinch. She has until noon today to finish her photography assignment, the studio booked from midnight till 8am... and no model.
I don't know about you darling readers, but I am the one people go to when things go wrong. So after my Tuesday Nerd Night - a board games, potluck, movie night hosted by yours truly - I high tailed downtown to be that model. The film shoot started at midnight, and for four and a half hours I posed, preened and pranced about in different outfits and sets. It was really fun, and even better once the coffee was served.
Now, around 3am a hitch was discovered. Apparently one of the other students had broken the set mirror earlier on that day... making it impossible to photograph any hairline shots - the shots that were due in just a few hours. After a bout of panic and frantic searching, we settled it by filming everything else and sending off a note to her teacher.
Now, while I had originally planned to leave around 2:45, or even 3 if it ran late, after all the hubbub it was 4:15am, and we still had a good half hour of work to do.
On a side note, throughout the year I have been working on a 'Your Geeky Girl' album. Richelle, the photographer, knew about this, and as compensation for the extra time I put in on the set she filmed for me one of my songs. As a treat she is turning it into a music video and plans to post it up on Facebook and Youtube when she is finished!
So yes, 6 hours of filming later I get home to my comfy boyfriend and my warm bed... only to have to wake up for work at 9, which I was 15 mins late for of course. But whats a girl to do?
After work I straggled on home to cold pizza and a nap - which was lovely - then headed out to school. Poetry on Taboo ~ and what we fear the most. It should be interesting.
Poetry class ended around 7:30, then it was off to my night job: cleaning law and geometric consulting offices downtown. My wonderful, amazing, BEST BOSS EVER, picked me up some cookies and a coffee when he heard about my day - and did I mention he let me go home early? Aaron Thom is the coolest supervisor in the whole city, if you get a chance to work for him then take it. No seriously. Do it.
So yeah, back home I come, to finish my homework, write some Taboo poetry, and hopefully make up for this weeks lack of sleep.
Good night darling readers, and good karma.

Philosophy Class - The Good Life - Week 6
Renum Novarum Cupidus
(the eagerness of new ideas)
Taking something with a grain of salt can be hard at the best of times, but all the time? During lecture today we discussed the I Ching, a Chinese book of synchronicity. A book that uses chance and coincidence to determine a representation of fact. The I Ching institutes an equation of coin or yarrow stalks tossed down, and the answer is taken from the coin faces or the position of the yarrow stalks.
The western tradition most similar to the I Ching oracular divination I think, is our Tarot Cards. The theory that which ever card you draw is the card that will answer your question. So to does the I Ching yarrow stalks fall in such a way that oracles -or anyone familiar with divining the stalks- can answer a question in this manner.
I think that in some ways the ancient Chinese theories on our facts do have some relevance. They believe that human perspective plays a huge part in understanding fact, and that experiments done in a lab have certain attributes that will MAKE the ends correspond to what the scientists find - example from the book: that yes all quarts are hexagonal, so true it is a fact that all quarts crystals are hexagonal. BUT, each of those quarts crystals is different, that they are not the same size or in a completely similar state to each other. So too is fact, that fact is a general knowledge that covers the basics of a larger understanding, and that the way human kind gathers facts will cause some causal result because of our own biases.
That is where I Ching comes in. The idea that fact is fact is stable, but also that coincidence represents a more spiritual or 'higher power' or view. The idea that the realm outside of human perspective would come through in chance, and that it is still relevant because the stalks are part of that moment of question, and that your interpretation can agree with your findings.
Jung, the author in question, says this when he discusses the idea of acceptance. If the Ting, or that spiritual force, were to give you an answer than you might scoff at, would you still scoff if a fellow man gave you the same answer? The way we divine the stalks creates a bridge to our own self conscience - and the inner ideas we draw forth to explain what we read. Is divining an answer through a conscious rational dissection really any different than discerning each fact on ones own experimentation?

Happy Sad Everyone!
Today, as my friend Mindy calls it, is Sad - singles awareness day - and to the rest of the world: Valentines Day.
As my boyfriend and I have decided (oddly enough we both came to this conclusion without telling each other - yay communication!) we were not going to do anything special for our first valentines day.
So now, a quick poem to lighten our Valentines!

My love he iz made for ze punches
so i may hit ze incorrigible lout
he iz mine and i loves him dearly
he wins for me all of ze bouts

How late, how early, how droll...
Today I woke up an hour late to brunch with the in-law, and luckily she did too. We tallied on down to the Demitasse on Pandora and Blanshard, Victoria B.C. for delicious delicious food stuffs.
After some prompting I was urged to eat the Steak, for breakfast...it was divine.
Then off to record shopping, in which I picked up a great Footloose the Soundtrack CD.
We walked around as Dan and I showed his mom and brother the sites: Fan Tan Ally, China Town, and such (yay bubble tea!) Then I broke off to go to work.
Now the original plan was work, church then back with Dan for supper; unfortunately plans sometimes go awry. I got off work early and headed over to the church - please note that I am not going to tell you if i am religious or not, this was my roommates baptism that she invited me to - and waited around for a long and boring service.
Then I took my dear friends Nadia, Fali, Faith and myself off to subway because the service had a guest speaker that took a while to get his point across, and by the time it was all finished so was supper.
Now I'm home and tired and definitely going to put my netbook away in favor of a good romance novel about vampires who DONT sparkle.
Night y'll
