Sleeping with the lights on

.Lounging around.

Skyped with cartoon... it was a funny hour of exchanging crazy stories :)
Shopping... nothing much to buy here. you'd be amazed at the number of quaint little shops that display the 'closing down sale' sign. darned economy.
Stupid toilet. always clogged up. i'm so glad i won't be here much longer. don't know how much more of this disgusting living situation i can stand. no one cleans up around here. the kitchen looks like a rotten banana just exploded or something. smells too.

.Get inspired.

This guy, Ted Archer (never heard of him), came to speak at our weekly seminar today. apparently he ran a marathon across the sahara desert. twice. is he crazy or what. i really don't know where people get the determination/perseverance to do marathons. i can't even run 5 miles without feeling like i'm gonna die.

anw he wrote a book about it, so i guess that makes him famous. he seemed pretty cool. younger than i expected. and by his book's title, 'carved by god, cursed by the devil,' i thought he might be a christian or something, but no mention of god.

.Pelham 123.

Ok, so i finally caved and watched 'the taking of pelham 123' today. even though it was a whopping 12.50bucks. i couldn't stand it. i love movies too much :)
it was pretty good, too. even though it only took place in a few locations, it still kept me on my toes, and it was attention-grabbing and suspenseful.
john travolta + denzel washington = awesome duo.
and what i loved most about it was that it was set in New York City!! the train that was hijacked, pelham bay, i take it to work every morning! and it was just fun recognizing all these places and going, 'i've been there!' haha.

although.. it was kinda freaky thinking about... what if someone gets the stupid idea to hijack the subway one day. whoever is on that subway would be sooooo... unlucky.
