school starts tomorrow :( looking back on the past sem, i'm proud that i've made a much more admirable start than i did in j1. but still, i'm somehow lacking the competitive spirit to transform completely into a 'chao' mugger. maybe i have not yet felt the rush of urgency my schoolmates have, but if i keep up at this pace, i might very well be looking at 30 years of geriatrics when i become a doc. there's nothing wrong with old people of course, since we'll all become old one day, it's just that i think babies are a bit cuter plus they're small and easy to handle. but whatever. i have resolved to become more serious this coming sem, and give up my nightly 6 hours of TV in order to study more. and so yesterday... i rented prison break!

i can explain, really: i've already watched the first 16 episodes, so i obviously have to find out what happens to michael at the end of the season. and since i rented it, i can watch it before school officially starts tomorrow, and thereby be free of my addiction during school days. which will free up my thursday nights for uninterrupted studying! it's such a miracle cure that i should do this for all my shows, if not for the exorbitant rental price i'm paying. prison break is so popular that video ezy has a SPECIAL PRICE just for it- a whopping 20 bucks for 10 days plus another 10 bucks as deposit. when my dad asked me about it, he got the impression that the deposit was included in the 20 bucks, so he was like, 'i can't believe you're paying 10 bucks just to watch the first season'. which was when i started sinking into my chair, because in my heart i was thinking that actually it's more like 20 bucks and i only want to watch 6 episodes. i feel so ripped off that i might as well forfeit the deposit and keep the discs, since that way i can at least get to watch wentworth miller as much as i like, anytime i like. and don't ask me why i didn't just d/l or watch online- the quality sucks, duh!

oh and i was watching a bit of kate beckinsale's vampire flick, underworld, last night when i caught wentworth with an afro. i was horrified! omg he was like this sissyfied geeky doctor with bad hair and glasses, and it was SO unglam. i never knew someone could look so much better as a jailbird, but our friend stinky (that's an official nickname, btw!) does it with such class. plus, i suppose it helps that he has a whole crew of hairstylists and makeup artists, and a wardrobe full of designer prison outfits. oh and apparently my sis says that it's stated in his bio that thanks to the percentage of negro blood in him, he has one blue eye and one green eye. i fail to see that, although it explains why his hair looks a gazillion times better in a crew cut. observe for yourself:
