Yay, week is done, next week is Conference. Time to enjoy my HM addiction in peace.
In other news,
Nintendo Wii.
It's "we".
The internet is going to be swamped with the various preteens who are afraid they'll be considered nerds if they like the name "Nintendo Wii".
*waits a few months for them to get on with their lives*

The Longest Word in...
Dutch - kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamheden (49) - meaning 'preparation activities for a children's carnival procession'
Danish - speciallægepraksisplanlægningsstabiliseringsperiode (51) - meaning 'the stabilization period of the planning of medical specialists' practices'
Finnish - lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas (61) - meaning 'apprentice corporal, working as assistant mechanic in charge of airplane turbine engines'
Swedish - nordöstersjökustartilleriflygspaningssimulatoranläggningsmateriel-underhållsuppföljningssystemdiskussionsinläggsförberedelse-arbeten (130) - meaning 'preparatory work on the contribution to the discussion on the maintaining system of support of the material of the aviation survey device within the northeast part of the coast artillery of the Baltic'
Way to go you crazy Scandinavian languages, for creating the most contrived and useless words ever. If it was only to get into the record books, you win. Based on their definitions, I don't know if these "words" should even deserve to be called "words". >_>

A Fistful of B'DaBalls
Traditional Chinese Nursery Rhymes
If You Steal a Needle
If you steal a needle
Or steal a thread,
A pimple will grow
Upon your head.
If you steal a dog
Or steal a cat,
A pimple will grow
Beneath your hat.
Little Cow
This little cow eats grass,
This little cow eats hay,
This little cow drinks water,
This little cow runs away,
This little cow does nothing,
Except lie down all day.
We'll whip her.
Funky
Thursday is Doomsday. Doooom.
At least now I only have a Chapter 10+11 Chemistry Unit test rather than a Chapter 9+10+11 Unit Test. Along with the Bio Unit test, which COULD have been today, but noooooo making a test later will obviously mean that the questions are gonna be THAT much easier. So instead it was opted to place the Bio Unit Test on the same day as the Bio Competition. Good job.

Girl Currently On The Pill
Who choses the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO?
sounded like a self-derogatory rhetorical question to me at first. But I guess it does need the "?!" at the end to seal the deal.

And Other Plays
"The Pseudolus, with its love-lorn young man and quick-talking slave who try desperately to wrest the captive heroine away from the scheming pimp, is a typical and masterly example of Plautus' genius."
Well...at least it sounds more interesting than The Women of Troy...
*reads*
[Update] It turns out that Pseudolus is a lot more entertaining than The Women of Troy. Which is an understatement. /TWoT bashing
Pseudolus: Blessed gods! This Charinus is a charitable institution! Now this slave of yours from Carystus - is he a foxy sort of fellow?
Charinus: Goaty, by the smell of his armpits.
Pseudolus: We'll have to give him a long-sleeved tunic. Sharp, is he?
Charinus: As an acid-drop.
Pseudolus: And suppose we wanted him to serve up the sweet stuff, can he produce that too?
Charinus: Easily. Spiced wine, raisin wine, fruit cordial, honey cup, sweet drinks of all kinds - they say he once set up as a one-man refreshment bar!

Shampoo + 336 hours = Splendid Hair
The next Baten Kaitos is even nicer looking than the first one, and that's saying something. The graphics are pretty crazy. From the screenshots I could see lots of familiar items as well as a lot more new ones. I saw some familiar settings as well. (Opu, Pherkad)
The new battle system is gonna have no defence cards, which actually makes me really happy. In BK1 I only used defence cards to get rid of them from my hand. They usually get in the way, and my tendency to "save" them in case of a brutal attack made my attacking combos really short and weak at times.
So...the guy on the far right is gonna be in the party... o_O I think he's a robot thingy. I think.
Appearently, the battle magnus system got simplified so it's only "magnus ranks" of sorts, where your combos are based simply on ascending magnus numbers rather than poker hands like in BK1.
I share Sagi's sentiments.
His eyes follow you everywhere. O_O

Shut your singing mouths!
It's Whitmore the Toad Pirate! (Again!) And there was a new fourth episode of which I was oblivious to. :o
My personal favourite is still the third one.
Toad pirates don't smoke tobacco!
Walk the plank.
Beavers cannot play chess. Only checkers.
I am going to post this photo on your website.

Thought for Food Ingestion
Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae - Lots of real gold ingested.
Kopi Luwak Coffee - Coffee that tastes like crap. Good crap, I guess.
Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata - Doesn't actually cost a zillion dollars.

A new scientific study shows that scientific studies may cause cancer
One thing I don't like: Debates.
Another thing I don't like: The Women of Troy
Together, they are pretty much a nightmare waiting to happen.
So, marks get sent away to post-secondary establishments by the end of this week. I don't think I'm able to let myself "slack-off" for the rest of the school year. Fully, anyways. By now, without stress, I feel random symptoms stemming from stress deficiency.
Bio Presentation, English Presentation, Classical Civ Presentation
The Real Axis of Evil

Cuddly farming simulation?
Sounds like a plan.
Ahh so round and fluffy! And the animals look like they're getting along perfectly!
