Days until deadline are dwindling down, and I really should be sleeping right now, but I feel like I haven’t done anything I wanted to do all day, except maybe for my totally unnecessary Glee break in between my 25 page essay writing marathon.
I think that Finn Hudson is a pretty cute boy. And while I’ve been feeling guilty about being a pedo and wanting to do bad things to this supposed 16 year-old, I find out he’s 27! He’s older than me! (And that’s hard to come by these days.)
To be honest, Glee is like this really drawn out and cliched after-school special. Everyone has their own voice-overs. Story-line is predictable. And Mr. Schue’s attempt at dancing is horrendous. I really don’t know why I keep watching it.
Oh right.

Perhaps my disdain for Christmas is only rivaled by Chinese New Year, which is only rivaled by babies, which is only rivaled by babies’ whose parents are incompetent at raising babies.
Or something like that.
2 Chinese Birds with 1 Stone
Today was Chinese New Year’s Eve, which is also my mom’s birthday. I don’t mind this annual coincidence because it means that I would only have to have dinner with my family once, for both occasions.
The dinner itself meant having to endure a capacity-at-its-max restaurant, rude waiters, slow food, babies/toddlers running about, and painfully boring conversations with relatives I see a couple times a year. All of which I expected, except for the slow food.
Normally, restaurants want you in and out of there as quickly as possible. Not this one, not tonight. The last dish came 2-hours after we put in our orders.
Anyhow, I survived. And I really should bask in the satisfaction of not having to do that again for another 365 days.
HBO Series: Rome and Six Feet Under
I’ve completed the HBO series Rome. God, was it ever a good series. I’m now feeling the way I felt when I finished Six Feet Under – sad and lost. I’ve grown attached to the characters, flaws and all. I also enjoyed Rome because I’ve always been fascinated with ancient history, with their spectacular folklore and silly ways. I think Rome captured a lot of that.
Whatever series I watch now will never compare to Rome. I remember when I watched 2 seasons of Weeds after watching Six Feet Under. All it did was remind me of my lack of well, weeds. Six Feet Under did that, and provided me with thought-provoking insights.
Whatever will I do now?

Just when I thought I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel in the form of black cement on the ground last night, I pull up my curtain this morning and we’re plunged back into yet another snowstorm. I’m not used to this kind of weather in Vancouver. I’ve been homebound pretty much the entire week except for when I have to go to work.
But it isn’t all bad. I can be quite the homebody when I allow myself to be. I enjoy the luxury of long afternoons spent curled up in bed with a book, or hot unhurried showers. And this is especially so when I look out my window and snow flakes are blowing in every which direction, covering every possible surface they can.
I’ve also been watching the HBO series Rome. It is a little bit too bloody for my liking, but all is compensated when James Purefoy gives a glorious full frontal nudity.
Another central character is Kevin McKidd. He reminds me of Daniel Craig. Look.
This is Kevin McKidd.
And this is Daniel Craig.
Needless to say they are both quite delectable.
And after a bit of googling. I came across this little movie called “Bedrooms and Hallways,” in which Kevin McKidd and James Purefoy play lovers!
I think I just creamed my pants. And I hope all of you have too.
