Aspartame full.

I just finished exploring the world of Atkins diet and I don't ever want or need to do it. Thank the greater forces.

Ahh next week is going to be one of those not-good weeks, especially at the end. Lots of Math and Latin. I hope Chemistry and Bio don't do anything to interfere.

Places to avoid during Easter.

In the Czech Republic, a tradition of whipping is carried out on Easter Monday. In the morning, males whip females with a special handmade whip called pomlázka. The pomlázka consists of eight, twelve or even twenty-four withies (willow rods) and is usually from half a meter to two meters long and decorated with coloured ribbons at the end. It must be mentioned that while whipping can be painful, the purpose is not to cause suffering. Rather, the purpose is for males to exhibit their attraction to females; unvisited females can even feel offended. The whipped female gives a coloured egg to the male as a sign of her thanks and forgiveness. A legend says that females should be whipped in order to keep their health and fertility during whole next year. The females can get revenge in the afternoon when they can pour a bucket of cold water on any male. The habit slightly varies across the Czech Republic. Some feminists allege it is a disgusting medieval tradition. Link

If you thought having Easter Sunday on March 27 was a little early this year, in the year 2008 Easter Sunday will fall on March 23, and won't even be that early again for the next 12 years or more. However technically in terms of the layout that month, it would be similar to this month (4 days in between March Break and Easter weekend). However St. Patrick's Day isn't within March Break anymore. It's on the first Monday back.

"The taste has that wonderful fruity "wang" that I love so much." Link

Being in denial made me jump into the Nile.

On today's news: "Jason's blog gets plastic sugery...without months of rehab!" Oh the fibre, potassium, vitamin C, and 8 essential amino acids goodness.

I downloaded the "Pretty Khaki" Gap commmercial and watched it several times. It amused me greatly until the 5th viewing, and by that time I didn't want to see anything pink for the next 5 minutes.

EDIT: Juli's blog also got a new makeover. Roses have always been admired flowers, and as early as in Mesopotamia rose water was being used as incense. Cleopatra had her palace floors layered with rose petals each day and some of her pillows and mattresses were stuffed with rose petals.

"And by dancing I mean making love."

Once upon a time there was a movie named King Arthur, and I watched it.

That's because I went to latin Movie Night, the first movie night I'd gone to with any major issues.

The first was that right before the movie began, we found out the person whom was thought to have the movie...didn't have it. Therefore it had to be rented and after half an hour of "Something Funny Happened On The Way to the Forum" or something like that...King Arthur began.

But after the movie, it appeared the pizza delivery man hadn't arrvied yet, even though the pizza was ordered almost 2 hours ago. So after another while he came, and we managed to get $19 in credit for next purchase.

But even after that it was still fun. It appeared there were less people than usual at tonight's movie.

Proving My (Trigonomic) Identity

I really want an ocarina, and this site sells good quality ones. Unfortunately they're all extremely expensive. If I were to magically obtain one of their ocarinas, it would be the fairy ocarina with extended range, and a songbook. Very pretty.

Age of Empires 3 isn't going to be out for a while, the earliest is probably October this year. Darn. The new screenshots coming in are so nice.

Decrastinate.

It's the last day of March Break, darn.

It was a nice time of not caring about anything school. Now...it's time to go back for a four day interruption, where tests occur, then continue with our fun Easter break.

Eat vegetables with every meal, or else your lips will start to peel. [Episode 3]

Things to talk about at the crossroads

I picked up a trivia card game of sorts, which is like a heaven of information to me. So I'll share some fun ones.

The Food We Love
- An acid in spinach and rhubarb builds kidney stones.
- Carotene, the chemical that gives colour to carrots, can cause jaundice.
- Kidney beans can be toxic if cooked improperly.
- Lima beans have cyanide in them.
- Fortune cookies, egg foo young, chow mein, and chop suey are all American inventions.

Money Spreads Trivia Around
- The Newspaper Association of America named K-Mart its "Retailer of the Year" one day before the company filed for bankruptcy protection.
- A New York City coffee shop charged rescue workers from Ground Zero $130 for three cases of water.
- At the conclusion of a co-sponsored contest, AOL and Coca-Cola inadvertently informed more than 100 people that they had won the grand prize of $10,000.

Scary.
- The creators of Kellogg's Corn Flakes intended the cereal to be a sexual repressor.
- When you convert the initials NYC into the Wingdings font using Microsoft Word, you get a skull and crossbones, the Star of David, and a thumbs-up symbol.

March Broken

March Break has arrived!

Other good events include the fact that we finally renewed our Internet security and was able to kill the friggin worm that was preventing me from sending or receiving Hotmail attachments and was lagging my Internet. Stupid worm.

I am not eating delicious sushi at the moment. Factors include my sister being here, my dad at work, and my mom currently in different country. Alas.

So...I'm guessing that the groundhog predicted a longer winter? If not we should stick to radars and not groundhogs.

A guy walked into a post.

I haven't been paying very much attention in classes recently, waiting for the holidays to roll by. I'll be taking notes, but only sub-conciously. But I'm just being lazy. Even though I had my share of a few quizzes and projects recently. I should probably just throw in the effort, since we're going to have 7 school days off within the next two and a half weeks. But seriously, now that Easter's shoved itself into an improper month, it's going to be about two months until the next holiday. Fun ol' Victoria Day. By that time we're probably all immersed in some sort of summative frenzy of projects and tests. The May flowers will try in vain to stop the insanity of the end of school year surge.

On another note:
I hope Italy and France trip people have fun!

March Break must come.

Palmed

I decided to read on palm reading for fun. That thing on my right palm is actually called the Simian Line (A huge line that horizontally crosses the whole hand). I'm supposed to have only a trace of either the Heart line (the upper-most deep line) or the Head Line (the middle deep line) but it seems I have a bit of both. Which they say usually never happens. But my heart line is more appearant.

Yeah...I had nothing else to do.

March Break must come.
