the As are over.
like, really.

even though yesterday's bio S kinda sucked i'm glad it's over. and, just as i predicted, post-As euphoria was anti-climatic, particularly since my mom interrupted the first few minutes of it by informing me that i'm supposed to go for major back surgery in a few weeks time. ooh yay, what a fun way to spend the holidays. plus i get to see my favourite doctor, The Butcher, on friday, which is usually enough to keep me depressed for a week or two. i keep telling my parents that The Butcher looks EXACTLY like that asshole Burns from the simpsons, and even talks and moves like him too, but they insist that i'm imagining things. well The Butcher is going to be fucking around with my back soon so i better stop giving him dirty sideways glances already. which reminds me, i have to practice being non-vulgar or else i might start swearing profusely when i wake up from general anesthesia and i foresee that will NOT be a pretty situation especially since my parents think the most i'm capable of is "bloody shit" and harmless things like "crap" and "shoot" and "shucks". so, from now on, fuck fucking fuckers and stuff like that will be off the vocab. time to PG-fy things ;p HAHA

anyway, in much happier news i had a late lunch at the fish & co glass house then watched prime yesterday. i actually really liked the show because it's really hilarious at some parts and it's filmed in a really artsy new yorky kinda way, but i HATED the ending. uma thurman looks really gross close up and she's like this 37-year old going out with a 23-year old kid, but i guess ultimately you always kinda wish that the guy and the girl get together. except uma thurman tells him this is not to be while they're having sex, so you're like WHAT???? and how the film ends is that "one year later", he goes back to this restaurant to pick up the hat which he's left behind, and sees her sitting at the table with a group of friends. so he frantically takes the hat and scurries out, but turns back just as he leaves the door, and uses his fingers to clear a hole in the frosty window so that he can look at her. then she looks out the window and sees his face through the hole in the frost and they both smile at each other. and for a moment there i thought yay they're going to get back together. but guess what, that's when the credits start rolling. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HAPPY ENDING??? if only all movies were like you've got mail, the world would be a better place.

today i went shopping with my sis for some retail therapy. we left the house at 11 and got back at 9. as you would imagine from 10 hours of almost nonstop walking on heels, my feet have lost all sensation. the good thing is that today was very productive cos i got a pair of really gorgeous shoes plus a red lacy top and long gypsy-ish white skirt. which means that today's damage was also very sizeable, but since it's for the prom and my cousin's wedding, it's all necessary :p plus i have been deprived of all opportunity to spend money in like the past 2 months so i need to make sure i don't forget how to.

oh and just now when me and my sis were sitting on the benches outside taka and resting our poor tortured feet, we saw this little white chihuahua. it actually looked really cute running about because it's like so small and so fast, and i was surprised that i didn't feel an immediate aversion to it like i usually do to all moving animals. which was when my sister piped in that 'wouldn't it be cool if we could get a small, shit-less dog?' haha. i'm glad i'm not the only freak in this world.
