First of all, sorry mates. Couldn't find the time to put this up, and I let it sit longer and longer. The bigger it got, the less compelled I was to start it. <__<" It's up now, so I'll see you guys around this time next month or something.




 I see this scene every Monday and Wednesday. Morning classes are as fun as getting your spleen ripped out by a steel fisted orangutan. Sunrises so late, and sets so early...rain doesn't help either.

Rain. We've been getting quite a bit. There's another storm system coming our way too. I may not have an umbrella or a rain jacket, but the rain won't stop me from getting to classes. I'm not out in the rain much anyways. Maybe for a max of 5 minutes or so.

You can find a lot of cool stuff after the rain. Like this. Found water droplets on a leaf. Pretty cool!

Can you spot the squirrel? I had a starring contest with this guy. We starred at each other for a good minute or two until someone came and scared the little guy away. Looks like he was munching on greens.

I see a lot of this scene. All my classes are in the Fir building, so I find myself sitting in front of this patch of trees quite often. I hear in some of these forested patches, animals are living in them. Animals aside from the usual squirrels and birds. Maybe a deer or two? Wouldn't mind a bear either.




The left and middle pictures were taken at Metrotown, a large, large mall in Burnaby. These guys from Sandemon's were carving up pumpkins for weeks leading up to Halloween. They're nothing short of impressive. On the right are toasted pumpkin seeds extracted from the pumpkin my sister got from school. My mom shelled them for ease of consumption, though I found that I could eat them with the shells on.

People have scribbled on the walls in the practice rooms, but none as much as this one. It's pretty entertaining to read all the scribling too. Give the photo a click to blow it up.






October was a month of a lot of new stuff for me. Lots of clothes. Pictured above:

• 1x New shoes 
• x4 Pairs of jeans
• x1 Jacket
• x1 Transformers Tshirt
• x1 Cardigan

Also picked up these. On the left are modeler's side-cutters. They're used to clip the pieces off runners in Plastic Models. They work wonderfully. Middle and right images are of the new plastic model I got. Hoi Hoi-san, Nightmare version. Just in time for Halloween, yeah? She's adorable, about as tall as Domo is, and the decal sheet is a pain to work with. Everything else is great though.

Also got this book. Most people may recognize it's title as 腐女子彼女　(Fujoshi Kanojo). It's adorable and so sweet. Y-ko's antics kind of make me want an otaku girlfriend too, though I get the feeling I may regret that statement. Let's just quote Andrew, and say "as long as she's moe!".

Waiting for the second volume to be released by Yen Press in December. Also still waiting on my shipment of Yotsuba&! manga. Hm.

Also got a new keyboard. M-Audio Keyrig 49, a 49 note MIDI USB controller. Much simpler to use than my cousin's Roland and came with some nifty software so that I can use it as a synth. Great buy too, only about $110.

Throat has been killing me for the past few days, and I've been abusing drug-free home remecies as if they were drugs. Saline gargles, teaspoon of honey, lime and honey with warm water. Been drinking lots of water too. Not feeling any better yet, but I hope I recover soon. It's super uncomfortable.
