crazy for feeling so blue


DORAEMON.

there are security guards on my floor right now because i guess people were being too rowdy. i spent six hours in the library not working on the essay and thirty minutes writing the intro, before the library closed at midnight. sigh. what a loser.

bought some groceries, came home and made dinner. crackers + cream cheese + smoked salmon + olive slices = yum. there is so much STUFF in my tiny ass mini-fridge right now, it makes me happy.

yesterday bryan took me to pacific mall in scarborough. p mall is one of the most asian (asian as in super azn la) malls i've seen... i think burnaby north road or richmond centre still beats it though. hmm. perhaps. anyway he wanted to buy a PSP and i wanted asian grocieries. the place was a billion cubicles with open ceilings and pirated dvds bought only with cash and super geeky electronic gadgets and harajuku type girlwear and japanese porn magazines and k-pop cds and stuffed doraemons and posters of cardcaptors and gundam models and A CRAPLOAD of other ASIAN SHIT. fuck. seeing those doraemons... so nostalgic... right? HAHAHA. it was almost like home. it was pretty goddamn amusing too.

i bought some illegal dvds and korean seaweed packs and ate a block of green tea ice cream wrapped with egg waffles. at one chinese grocery store, though, i not only saw korean yogurt (those tiny peach-coloured drinks) but also a korean energy drink called Bacchus-F, which i have not laid my eyes on since FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy mofo it was like a punch from the past.

in korea when i was little and tagged along with my mom to the pharmacy, we both got Bacchus-F, downed the little glass bottle, then put it in the recycling bin before we left the pharmacy. men drink that shit every day, it's like tonic medicine. i say 'energy drink' but it's nothing like red bull, its more like some sort of health drink, but with lots of caffeine. here is a link that somewhat describes it. it's pretty delish too though i can't even remember what it tastes like, at this second.

anyway i bought three bottles, gave one to bryan, then took the other two home. they're in my fridge. holy crap i haven't had one since at least 10 years ago. i think i MIGHT have had one when i visited my aunt's clinic last summer in korea, but still.

bryan and i went for all-you-can-eat sushi dinner afterwards and gorged ourselves on sashimi and fried scallop and spicy salmon handrolls. we talked about shit like neon genesis evangelion (japanese anime) it was pretty awesome i must say. he dropped me off at finch station and i subway'd back to rez by 9pm or so.

spent about six hours in ray's room after i got back. we ranted about homework (aka fuckin' essay) and doodled with her hundred-dollar fountain pen and talked of snell's law (physics), boyle's law (chemistry) and derivatives (calculus). am serious. i forget how we started talking about that shit though. i went back to my room at 3am, then i facebook-stalked people for a while on my laptop then somehow thought it would be a great idea to start watching Alice in Wonderland at 5am. i finished about 90% of the movie and went to sleep at nearly 7am.

woke up at 330pm. god, my sleeping pattern is disgusting. ate a huge meal and shut myself up in the library... which brings me to the beginning of this entry. i am now tempted to download evangelion tv series. maybe it's a good thing i'm doing journalism and not general arts/english because i seem to be pretty abysmal at literary analysis without researching a whole lot. that stuff is not intrinsic in me, i guess. i read what i like. i couldn't really care less about hermeneutics and appropriation. my inner geek wants to embrace that shit, which is why english is my favourite course, but sometimes i want to hurl when it gets too abstract. i like concrete things. you know? stuff i can see smell touch hear taste feel in my heart.
