mood: happy
music: Wake Up - The Arcade Fire
For New Years Eve I reconnected with many of my old high school friends and acquaintances, baked a Queen of Sheba cake, and watched the Pixar movie Up (during which I cried about four times). It was, over all, a good way to end a year. I felt like a kid again, and I have been surrounded by my oldest and closest friends. I've never laughed so hard, or smiled so much. I'm happy.

2009 & 10
-get the tattoo i want in replacement of piercing or vice versa...but i think this is making the list again this year....i think i'm all set with my ears and nose and navel.
-continue to be decisive, especially in regards to school and work, and relationships...must communicate choices better
-declare a major however, double majoring is ruining my life, so might change depending on discussion with FA about law school and trinidad experience
-after discussion, appropriate research in decided direction
-continue to enjoy personal oxymoronic tendencies
-play more (harmless!!!!!! and not annoying!!!!!) tricks

mood: quixotic
music: Marry Song - Band Of Horses
Movie to watch:
Ashes of Time Redux. There's something to be said for Maggie Cheung's magical amnesia wine or the way her face looks as she watches her son play by the ocean with her cheek pressed into the folds of her arms: dark, turbulent.

Show to follow:
Fringe. Put all your trust in J.J. Abrams. Believe, baby, believe.

Music to hear:
John Lennon, "Instant Karma (We All Shine On)".

Book to read:
Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. We hate Margaret Hale but we're all Margaret Hale. A book for the women who were always young, sheltered, but ready to face the mob.

Pastime to commit to:
Iceskating at Frog Pond, apparently. It only really works out if you've got a firm grip on someone else to balance you out on the ice, otherwise you should just stick to the sides and awkwardly swing around the 13-year-olds who also can't skate. Make sure you tie those skates on right tight, or you will snap your ankles off.

Song to sing:
Radiohead, "No Surprises". Ever since the season six premiere, I've been associating this song with the image of Hugh Laurie detoxing, which frankly should just be the music video for the song, instead of the coco for cuckoo puffs drowning sequence by Thom Yorke.

Complaint to have:
I am the worst Chinese student in my class and Chinese is my major? Most stressful semester ever? I don't even care anymore, quite frankly, the shitfest that was Fall 09 is over! My life starts anew! I arise from the flames like the phoenix from the ashes, etc. etc.!

Excuse to use:
Nothing to talk about anymore, must run.
