The lesson I learnt from the video yesterday: fact-check everything BEFORE you start recording, to avoid mistakes. >.>
Today I'm busy with paperwork-things, I think, and I don't think you guys can handle another 1000-word post. xD It's like I'm writing out horrible first drafts of essays-- even the book reviews I send out are second drafts, not the first. So today you won't have to deal with that! I'll alternate, okay? Today will be a short one and tomorrow will be another long one. #yay
Music music. I don't have a music video for this, but this came through Track In The Box today and it's awesome awesome. link:
It's available for free download! :)
I've been happier these few days, and it's hard to pin down exactly why. I want to talk talk talk and I just feel a lot better. Maybe it's because I've done most of the emails I was procrastinating about for ages. Yesterday I also went for Via Ferratta (it's kind of like rock climbing) and I hadn't done that in years. It was massive fun, and exhilarating. Come to think of it, I haven't done any physical activity in months. xD I got to meet lots of new people yesterday, and climb with them on the wall; it was 4 storeys high! You get a big sense of achievement when you've finally reached the top, and the physical satisfaction #wnkbr of having *actually* used your muscles. It was a little pricey, though, $30 for the climb; they give discounts when you go in a group. So I think I'll be going the next time the meetup group goes, so I can get a discount again.
Last saturday my friend blew me off, so I went to the library to read instead. It's a real luxury, actually, to be able to spend hours in the library, just devouring books on sight, and I very rarely get to do that. I also went to the reference library upstairs to look up the lgbt section (which is regrettably tiny; the other stuff is stored in the other regional libraries) and I realised that I have to sift through the sexy cruising accounts to get to the actual academic studies. Then I came up with a bunch of questions arising from my reading, that I'll have to find the answers to. (is this like college? Sometimes I feel like I'm ACHING to go to a class discussion and talk about it, then write an essay afterwards.)
I think I'll try to make my way through the section; it doesn't seem so big anyway. The other alternative is to go to Pelangi Pride Centre; the lgbt library, to borrow books so that I can read them at home; though I'm not sure if I have the time, because at home/while commuting I'm reading eating sleeping whichever lit book I have to study at the moment. And also I've borrowed 2 fiction books from the library. #sheepish It's all about priorities, I guess.
I'll stop here! As I've promised a "short" post.
Will just leave you with one question: What has made you happy lately?
First of all, what made me happy was the massive Skype call yesterday. That was simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteOther things that made me happy was making the Let's Go Outside music video, the YouTube stars event with awesome people and listening to Nerdfighterlike by Hank and the Katherine
