clock-stopping and portable defibrilators

Getting back into Hannah's car after class today, I thought to myself - didn't i JUST get out? Two whole hours went by so quickly! And there was lunch (not for me, tho'...) too! Not that I'm complaining or anything, but hello! It's almost December. December!! Then the year will be over, and a WHOLE new one, which I'm not really looking forward to for reasons that will not be discussed at this point, will begin. STOP THE CLOCKS! or at least slow them down a little!

Class went by really quickly. They were having some Career Fair thing in the lounge area. GE, Shell, KPMG, Ernst & Young...all these big names were there. I kept thinking to myself that it was a really good opportunity to. You know. Whatever. But I also kept thinking to myself that I had absolutely no reason to go talk to these people. It's not like I actually know what I want to do when I graduate, except to wander around the world for a bit. But I couldn't exactly tell these people that, could I? So we filled in this Shell thingy, just for fun. I still wish I had something to say to them, or something to ask them.

When I got home, my brother and I decided to go watch Casino Royale. It was totally spontaneous, spurred by the fact that there was absolutely nothing on tv, and I kinda wanted to chill after finishing my last report/assignment thingy for the semester. So we bought tickets online, and went to watch it, even though I said I didn't want to the other day.

On the way to GSC, we stopped at Rock Corner, and they were playing Lyla =D If you don't already know, I recently developed a thing for Oasis, all thanks to Durvesh. He totally converted me. If you, the person who is reading this, have the power to make them come and perform here, please do so and I will be eternally grateful. If you could also convince Robbie Williams that we have running water here in Asia, you would also have my eternal gratitude (cheeky bugger was supposed to perform in Singapore and I got all excited then he cancels due to "exhaustion and dehydration").

Anyway. Oasis. With some help, I managed to locate Stop the Clocks. It was right in front of me! If you don't already know, you can listen to the entire album all thanks to MSN's Listening Party thing here which I totally did, but I think I might still want the album. I have a bunch of songs from it already, and I could just get the rest...it makes sense, cuz I don't actually use my Discman (anyone wanna buy it?) anymore now that I have Mikey, my Creative Zen Micro MP3 player. But I'm hesitating. I don't know why either. But for now, it's going on my Christmas list =D

Casino Royale was interesting. If you don't already know, I haven't ever watched a Bond movie, so I did find the action bits quite cool. The guy in the beginning looked so animal-like! And the cars! And the pocket-sized defibrilator (I don't know how to spell that)!! And at the very end, the scene with some Mr. White, the house by the lake with the mountains...that was SO Switzerland-esque and gorgeous that it made me all sad inside for a little bit. I kept staring at the house and the lake and the mountains and completely missed what was going on, just that he was shot or something.

After the movie, I went straight for tuition (me being the tutor, not the other way around) then straight for dinner, then straight to the tv for Amazing Race (they went to Morocco dammit!) and House and now I'm in bed. I'm probably going to skip my four-hour class tomorrow. It's completely scary that our finals are next week, but I don't honestly think I'm going to study.

Song for today - I actually didn't listen to any music while writing this, which is really, really odd. So I'm going to go with the song that's in the beginning credits (are they really called beginning credits?) from Casino Royale, although I don't reaaally like it (it's not bad), which is You Know My Name by Chris Cornell, who is the lead singer for Audioslave.
