A brilliant spoof on celebrity designers and the “eco-friendly” trend by Julia Stiles. Thank god that some celebrities like her and Emma Watson agree that just because you’re a celebrity, doesn’t mean you’re a celebrity-designer too (cough cough Ashlee Simpson, Avril Lavigne, and everyone from the Hills).

So in the past three weeks of no blog entries, what have I been up to? I’d call it the “work hard play hard” life, but I’ve only had a few intense fun moments and my marks have been lagging… so no. I’ve just been busy.
Anyway, a facebook friend (i.e. some guy I talked to once, and only once) posted a site on Facebook and I decided to go check it out. And what do you know, it’s amazing.
It’s called Omegle.com
Basically, the site hooks you up with some other random person, and you guys chat. Instant messaging sort of, except you don’t know the other person and he/she/they don’t know you. For people like me with no life, it’s lots of fun. Usually the other person disconnects after a minute because they find you boring, but 1 in 4 conversations, you find someone that you have a somewhatly long and perhaps even meaningful conversation with, until the other guy asks you for your email and/or facebook name and then it gets creepy.
I have no doubt that other sites like this exist, but I didn’t really think about searching for them. So I waited until facebook friend posts one up. Having conversations with strangers is insanely fun. It’s kind of like blogging with strangers, but it’s instant. And better than face-t0-face, because there’s a chance you’ll see them again. I pretend to be a psycho, flirt shamelessly, talk about made up life problems… Why call the Rogers customer support guy or Kids Help Phone when you can do this guilt-free, because you’re not holding up the line?
So check it out! I’m going to have one more convo on Omegle and then finish my unfinishable math homework. Exams are going to drive me crazy.
As every local newsstation repeated about 175 times today (and continues to do so), Toronto turns 175 today! That’s older than Canada itself. Well, obviously.
I love Toronto. I am so happy to live near such a pretty city.

I make plans for pretty much every holiday. I follow through with my plans pretty much never.
One of best friends was going to have a party at her place. A small party. Twenty people, max, and they’d all be close old friends. Her house is big. Her parents are out of town. It was perfect.
But it’s winter and she got sick a few days ago. She still is sick, unfortunately. And I was too lazy to go to another lame party with people I hardly know, so I stayed at home. I baked an angel food cake for the very first time. It turned out… okay.
My dad did go buy some ice cream from La Paloma (the best ice cream place in the world). Gelato in the winter never tasted better.
The heart picture was made with textorizer. It’s a neat little tool that let’s you make pictures with words from another picture. I like it.
Happy Day after Valentine’s Day!
While I love this photo, I can see why some people might not: it isn’t very president-elect-ish. But does it need to be (him being Barack Obama and all)?
If there was a picture of Bush wearing this, well, there wouldn’t be. This is Barack Obama, and as John McCain would say it, “the one.” He’s a celebrity, so he gets these paparazzi shots.
This photo: Like it? Love it? Hate it? Or is Barack Obama too overrated?
