'send in the probe'

good thing i didn't make any foolish promises of frequent updates; though it's pretty sad, considering i haven't really been doing anything lately. at all.

quick run-down of the last month (in no order whatsoever):
tropfest - well, that rocked, despite being rained-out. i haven't been that wet since high scool (oh, the funny). the films rocked, there was scandal of cheating, blahblahblah.
tina's party - finished watching tropfest films. didn't play tennis (which we were apparently going to), but there was pass-the-parcel in which i got an asian toothbrush AND a dick tracy dvd. go me.
zheng's party - cards, dress-ups, eyetoy (can i just say how much this game rocked? *arms wide* this much), and my very first hot pot. s'all good.
jarhead - t'was good. lacking a climax, but hey, so was brokeback, and i enjoyed that. gyllenhaal + gay connotations = good movie, apparently.

found a majorly old episode of stargate the other week, 'the broca divide' (season one, ep 5) whilst on a hunt for the stargate movie. just to say, i have to correct my earlier statement (to anita) that there were two kisses between sam and jack during 8 seasons: there are at least three (if you count her attempt to maul his face only one kiss). also, found the stargate movie today. tape 148. gotta remember that. (yes, 148 is an old tape; i think we're in the 300s right now. and we do tape over things.)

now, i thought james spader was a really cool nerd/geek. wait, hear me out. i don't mean, he was cool to anyone around him, i just mean i was impressed by him. best scene in the film: daniel back-talking re/ra (spell it how you like, i prefer 're', as in 'amun-re', still pronounced 'rah') in egyptian-speak. that was rockin'.

and now feel despair at the realisation that, since season 9 is only just finishing in the states now, we're still going to have to wait at least another year or so for it to reach our forgotten shores. yes, the horror. *still, squees for daniel as he achieves in 14 days what they couldn't do in two years.* i hope the 'beginning of stargate' note on that tape wasn't in error, cos i'm hankerin' for some abydos-daniel.

all the friends are starting uni right about now, and, yeah, i'm feeling lonely. also considering doing uni next year. oh, the horror. but, yeah, since i didn't defer (which i suppose would have been the easy way out) i'll have to take the stat test this oct/nov. and apply to uws (since all other unis bar southern cross require 20/21-years for that sort of application). yeah, i'm actually considering arts, majoring in asian studies. if i work at it, i can probably transfer to usyd, uts or anu for a related course after first year. and, yes, i am actually capable of working at something, i just haven't bothered much in recent years. and anu is currently on the top of my list, as of the more specific asian-studies courses down there, but any decision like that is 1 and 3/4 years away. right now, priority is get a job, and later, do stat test. (the multiple choice will be a cinch, as multiple choice is my specialty. i managed to multiple-guess my way to a hd in chemistry comp in year 10, i think i'll be fine. long-answer is the more concerning, as i'm crap at formulating compositions within a time-limit, and i've heard interesting things about the questions/prompts they give you.)

now to see if 'crusade' is up yet.
