i just found out that martha stewart will be released from prison in march- the same time as my ORD! well, that's one more person to countdown with. there's also news of a busted cocaine ring in singapore. so drama. you must be audacious to walk around with so much cocaine knowing that they will hang you if you're caught.

still haven't watched sky captain yet.

bought two more books. david mitchell's cloud atlas. i know david mitchell is a cool writer because 1) his previous book was titled number9dream 2) i found it at orchard library 2 years ago but never borrowed it and 3) this book begins with a diary of a 19th century guy in the fiji islands. i got q by luther blissett on an impulse. i have a thing for historical novels. they transport you back to a world which you've never seen before, where religion clashes (much like the world today) and new dicoveries shape the world. better still if some corset-ripping or breeches-dropping occur; people were already that liberated.

suddenly want to
a) study bioengineering
b) go to berkeley
c) look at old odac photos
