Oysters are one of the sexiest fleshiest yummies.
Squeeze some lemon (or not), a drop of tobasco (or not), hold the shell and let it slide in your mouth along with the sea water.

I HATE

I HATE SENECA COLLEGE. It is the dumbest school with the dumbest teachers with the dumbest registration office and everything about it just suck. SUCK.

1. Field placements: The professors don't give a damn. They don't even meet with you to discuss your options or choices. If you have problems finding a placement, that's your fking problem. The best they can do is provide you with an outdated list of numbers in which you can call and hope that someone somewhere out there will accept you.

2. Emails: Emailing some of the profs is useless. They either just don't return your email or it'll take days before they check and finally reply.

3. Registration: They don't give a shit about your education or your money at all. In fact, they don't even care if you don't register. They mistakenly put my mark as DNC (drop out of class) and blame the prof for not entering the mark. (In which case the prof, of course, will blame the registration...and you'd be left in the middle to suffer.)

4. The Department Heads: These people aren't any better. If you've got problems, talking to them won't make a difference. They just dont' care. And stop bothering them at their coffee breaks already.

5. Switchboard bitches: They are all rude bitches. They hate their job and they hate you.

Hey did you know relationships are dependent upon this tiny techy circuit card called the subscriber identity module? If the card is lost, destroyed, or damaged on purpose, it can still be restored and brought back to life. Kind of. This card signifies your relationships, popularity, trustableness, and personality. And so it seems. There is no other telepathic way to contact a person and it's just miserable for us all. I refused to be controlled by it. But there has to be a limit to this so-called act of rebellion since I have not reached that higher state yet. The opportunity is here however and so I can take advantage of it. The messages are floating in mid air knocking on my window and I wonder how long they will stay before they are vanished forever. The modern connection is weaker than imaginable and no one cares to change this state. Sooner or later we won't even talk but depend on these little winged messengers and hope they will arrive on time and arrived before it shatters. But you know, these messengers are evil cold blooded lurkers and they don't give a shit about you or your stupid messages at all.

The theory of evolution. It gives possible explanation of how living things are influenced by the environment (adaption) and how new features are added in the process (through the process of mutation). Moths change colours not because they have decided to do so but because the environment alters the state of the fittest surving population. People living in poor conditions tend to exhibit risky behaviours so their genes can be passed on quicker (sell d to make $, have sex with multiple men/women, have many babies so at least some can survive). However, these are all after the fact ideas and it does not predict how future populations will turn out. Most mutations in genes are fatal and it is hard to imagine how many mutations a certain species must go through for it to finally survive both the environment and the mutations itself. Did we use to have eyeballs on our elbows and then somehow we died b/c our mates don't find us attractive and also it was inconvenient for hunting? What is the use of eyebrows and when eyebrows first grew above our eyes did we find that attrative? Did the cat have brainy thoughts about conquering the world but was unable to pass on his genes b/c other cats find him freaky and therefore it died and have to wait another billion years of generation until the recessive genes combined to make another brainy cat? The girl born with four arms and four legs. If we put a prestigious school in the middle of the poorest communities will the surrounding population alter to be educated legal businessmens and how long will that process take? How come that kind of change may come in a life time while having a surviving mutation takes millions of years?

The ME-ME personality: Recently a new type of personality defined by an obsessive tendency to start or include the following phrases in sentences with "I", "me", "In my opinion", "In my experience", or "Myself" have been identified and observed. Regardless of what the other mate, person, acquintance, relative, or stranger say, the ME-ME personality sufferer will ignore and continue to discuss about him or herself. What the other person say will largely be omitted or used as a tool to divert the conversation topic back to him or herself.

Now, let's take a look at some short examples:

ME-ME sufferer: I just won another set of gucci candles because I once again helped her out when she put herself in a desperate shithole situation. In my opinion, she is just a loser who should just go back to feed her two kids. (self-boosting, stepping on other who are of higher positions implying that oneself has higher qualifications)

A: That's good for you. G candles are expensive and elegant.

ME-ME sufferer: Oh yeah but I have got tons at home and they are just boring. So what are you up to? (have lots of special deals that are only available to oneself because of popularity and status)

A: Oh me, I have found a new job.

ME-ME sufferer: Oh a new job! I remeber when I was first hired by this company, I was so not used to the dumbasses that work here. I mean, like, I have finished university and those scumbags are just friggin highschool grads. And I.....(total ignorance of other people's comments, disregards topic and uses anything about the other person's experience as a tool to return to the topic of oneself)

Currently reading this book which starts off with some self boosting (which I think was not overdone based on the success of this author) and an experiment on burying beetle's infanticidal act on their own babies. The number of babies killed is based on the size of the carcasses they find. Outsider beetles will kill their same sex and all babies forcing the opposite sex beetle to mate with them. Wilson then goes on to descibe this story as if the beetles were humans. Interesting.

Another recent read was China Ghosts written by a foreigner (*cough*) on his views on China's adoption system. The author was father of two super cute adopted China girls. The book was sincere, loving, naive at times, but generally quite good for a slow Sunday afternoon. China is actually praised in this book for their adoption system!

My first Palahnuik book. It was quite shocking, funny, brutal, and strange. A group of writers go to a writer's retreat and end up mutilating themselves for future fame. Each writer writes their own little story in this novel summing up to 23 in total. I want to remeber everyone of them: nightmare box, guts' masterbation story, miss america's boring story, hot potting, emigrating to venus, artist turned into sniper, lady baglady, etc. etc.

It was a fun read - made me join The Cult: a book club forum by CP's fans.

When I was dreaming last night I kept reviewing the dream over and over again and promised myself I would write it down when I woke up. By the time I had more dreams, brushed my teeth, surfed the net, made a few phone calls, checked mapquest, get dressed, viewed porn, chat on msn, looked at my broken camera, remebered about having to write down what I promised myself earlier, I failed to recall the dream. It has something to do with me guessing whether small identical dolls made with marijuana and alcohol were alive or robots. I remeber eating part of the doll and sharing it with someone. When you look closely at the pale dolls, there were veins and it let me to wonder whether or not it is possible to create these delicate transparent veins with human hands.

A new batch of cakes have been made! The recent sales have encouraged Meowgu to produce more sweets for the girls. Most of this new batch will be made into pendants, chunky rings, and earrings. Seeing them sitting there quietly made Meowgu smile.

Was I there? (Shanghai photo revisited)

Somehow there is something creepy about this. (Shanghai photo revisited.)

Yes. I have been looking at a lot of toys recently. This one looks great. It's a pottery wheel without the high expenses attached. It also comes with a bag of air dry clay. But the downside is those air dry clay probably can't hold water and you can't get those magnificent colours from glaze. If you buy this it will ultimately lead you to buying a kiln if you want to enhance your pottery. This plastic gadget is $79.95 sold here: http://shopping.discovery.com/product-59290.html

I have recently been looking at ereaders again and found that Sony has one out. The monitor is paper like so it won't hurt the eyes and users can view it from different angles. It looks great (the one released in our technologically-behind Western country is not the same one shown above...that one is probably the 10th generation released in Japan and comes with 6 different colours to choose from and all) but it costs US$299.99 (oh...and they give your $149.00 worth of ebooks too). I guess for now I'll just have to stick with homebrew psp pdf readers and amazon.ca for real books.

Cows that burp less are helping the globe reduce greenhouse gases. An average cow burps about 100 to 200 L of methane each day. Scientists are now looking at a better diet for cows so they will burp less and make less pollution.

Why are people blaming cows for pollution!? Common....work on reducing our own green house gas production first. Make more electric/hybrid cars, encourage public transportation, band bag use in grocery stores, beer and lcbo store accept bottles/cans from all countries, encourage use of BT sharing, make more things downloadable including books, forms, info, brochures, exchange/donate old cellphones, plant a tree. But no...please don't blame the cows.

Day one - House P
The game of beer tetris has begun and there is no space for food.

Made some new stuff but it isn't sunny enough to take better photos....so I can only put up 2 of the 6 items. I am dying to try out my molds and also make some mixed media pieces using fimo and resins. Also want to try out the magnet challenge at instructables.

One night, while drinking, or perhaps a bit drunk, I posted on a forum: Drink 1 to 3 beers every other night. Binge drink at least on one weekend nights. Am I an alcoholic?

Here are some answers:
A1. that's not the kind of question people can answer for you on the internet...... (sorry man, just asking)
A2. I think that like has been stated, you would have to be evaluated, or go to an AA meeting to see. .... (dadi dadi da...)
A3. ..if you are wondering about it enough to be worrying, that's probably a sign to at least talk to a professional... (sorry man, just wondering)
A4. yes, meowqu, you are an alcoholic. if your response to what i just wrote was "I AM NOT" then you are in denial.... (holding my hands up in the air)
A5. I grew up with a lot of alcholics in and around my house. It was hell.... (depends)
A6. What's your life situation?How much of this is convenience/circumstance?Are you one of those people who can't stop once they start? (keep asking)
A7. Sorry, *referred to A6 writer*, it doesn't matter where you are from. the fact of the matter is that if you drink too much and feel compelled to ask it on a forum like xxxx, you most likely have a problem... (sorry man, just bored)
A8. Re *A7 comment* See, this effectively discourages anyone from starting conversation on the subject. If by saying anything, you "prove" you have a problem, that's going to have a chilling effect... (oh yeah shut up A7 writer)
A9. ...The fact that you are thinking about your condition is a positive. Also, deep down inside, what do YOU think? (sometimes)

I was stuck in the stone castle with a bunch of supposedly friends of friends. I had to carry the biggest camera. A large monkey was following me. It suddenly jumped on me from behind and try to jerk himself off. No one helped. Not one single person even held the camera for me. Could these people be my real friends? I woke.
