deadweight loss

i remember lesley blogged with this title too. we are commerce students after all!

i haven’t really done much this week. zilch. apart from my group-mates deciding that i was a predator (i.e. facebook stalker), making blueberry muffins that turned out to be blueberry scones, going for a very productive committee meeting and eating my guts out, i have been in my bed watching various television shows online.

that being said, i really must say thank you to whoever came up with this whole tv on the web thing. gosh, i think if he/she did not come with this, i would have aced my finals and not gained so much weight.

naaaah, haha who am i kidding?

anyway, i have successfully watched about three to four seasons of one tree hill; two and a half seasons of sex and the city; one season of gossip girl; half a season of how i met your mother; roughly one season of heroes; two and a half seasons of weeds; and half a season of scrubs since discovering time-guzzling jewel. (i can feel my mother’s hand slapping my head)

so one must ask, will the old black box in the living room be kaput one day?

well with web-television, i can watch whatever i want whenever i want wherever i want. there are no advisements which is wonderful for impatient people (i.e. me) and i can pause it when somebody rings (and they always ring when i’m in a middle of a good one), to take food off the stove and use the bathroom.
yes, it is slightly smaller, but well it doesn’t really bother me. in a nutshell, onine tv = convenience = brilliant.

obviously there are a lot of strong arguments that support television and its proud new sister, HD television, but hey i don’t really care.

so will web-television be the new television?

did you know that gossip girl’s producers (or somebody working there) said that gossip girl’s television following wasn’t as outstanding as its cult-like status on the web?

so maybe it has already happened?

poor television, the 2008’s rejected child.

okay, i promised linus i’d do this.. so it’ll be underneath the cut.

new pjs for caitye!

“wahahahha”
“what?”
“i didn’t know what else to say.”

mmmmaaaanuuuuu

it has been clearly established that i lovvvvveeeeeee ready steady cook, so you can imagine my excitement when Lesley told me where we were going for dinner. we were going to see MANU.

we sat quite near the kitchen… WHICH MEANT THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT CHANCE I WOULD BE ABLE TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF HIM. throughout dinner, i was unconsciously consciously turning my head around in hopes of seeing my favourite chef. It got a wee bit disappointing after a while because he didn’t come out of the kitchen. stop cooking my damn food and come out and talk to me.

but guess what! he did (come out of the kitchen)!!! woohoo! while he walked across the restaurant, I had to fight the overwhelming urge to yell out something stupid like, “hey!! ready steady cook!” or “oh don’t you want to see what i bought in my ‘we love coles’ gourmet bag?” or worse “don’t you want to see whats in my quickie bag?”

i wish i had more guts to go and talk to him. but nevermind, i’m fine with admiring via television.

its odd how if i don’t get excited over actors/actresses/singers. but show me a chef from ready steady cook and i totally loose it.

anyhow, i actually wanted to blog about my favourite playlist. but i think me seeing my favourite chef from ready steady cook tops my stupid playlist.

after that we saw kevin rudd! i again had to wrestle the impulse to do something stupid like run up to him and speak mandarin to him. it would be very funny though. i imagine he speaks better mandarin than i do. he’ll probably diplomatically praise my pronunciation and secretly laugh behind my back about how i loss my ‘heritage/culture’.

yuppp. chefs and politicians are sooo much better than everybody else! haha.

de-excitation

poo. i’ve become one of those girls who sit around all day and complains about the exponential rate at which her arse is growing. it’s funny because as i’m typing this, i am having a conversation with a friend about how it’s too cold to go to the gym. (apparently, it’s not that cold!)

well, i’ve spent my day learning about normal distributions and monetary policies; bitching about horrible assignment-mates (that’s highly hypocritical i know!); watching my favourite cooking show; drinking yummy yummy tea; eating oily fatty food; and whining about getting fat. boo.

i also facebooked today. speaking of facebooking, i like how proper nouns get turned into verbs.

For example,
1. I googled the meaning of nouns before writing this. (http://www.arts.uottawa.ca/writcent/hypergrammar/nouns.html)
2. We thai-la-onged every sunday.
3. I had to msn my friend about what action words are called.
4. I’ve been youtubing all arvo.

maybe one day instead of using the word ‘dawdle’ people will use my name instead. i.e. “oh man, i gillyed the entire night away! shoot, hope i don’t gilly tomorrow, i’ve got a damn big exam next week!” haha. (but then again, the chances of that happening is analogous to me exercising.)

nevermind! what is your name synonymous to? tell meeeeee! please!

did you know there is a UK ready steady cook?

man, i gillyed another afternoon away.

petty cash and fights.
