So a new bunch of co-op students have started, and it turns out a couple of them are IB alumni. I think this is way beyond cool, but that’s only because I love the IBO. XD
One of them went to an international school, so very naturally, my thoughts turned to Fukiko Nakamura, who was also a student at an international school. It turns out that the (ex-)vocalist of CORE OF SOUL may have been an IB student too! This would just be pure awesome for completely irrational reasons 😀

It has been far too long since I made a layout. Does it show :D?
Anyway, this is really the first time that I have customized a WordPress theme to my liking. The Kaguya theme was styling, more or less, but this one is a bit more adventurous for me. It took a while, but now I’m not nearly as intimidated (to be honest, that fluid center column was far more hassle than it was worth. I still don’t understand why Firefox doesn’t understand the concept of box within box leading to containing box stretching to fit contained box.)
(Sorry for those still using 800×600: I encourage you to choose another theme from the theme switcher.)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, at 7:15 am this morning, I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. For those of you keeping track: Yes, I have finally pulled an all-nighter. XD
Coincidentally, I enjoyed the book. 😀

*bemoans the fact that she is sick on her birthday*
On the other hand, I do get to eat green tea ice cream cake.
I was sorting through papers in my room when I stumbled across this poem we looked at briefly in my intro to French lit class, and it seems oddly appropriate for my mood today:
Ce mois de mai tout se resjoie,
Ce me semble, fors moi, lassette!
All things rejoice this month of May
Except, alas, it seems, for me!

too busy to write anything about the trip or the concert and in any case I’d like to do it in French which will take a little bit of time time that I don’t have although time is money but hey I don’t have much of that either at the moment I’m dreading my credit card bill anyway I really should get back to my assignment I can’t very well write a letter to Joe Schmo the customer service representative can I?
Actually, the rumours are true: Vienna Teng is an incredibly lovely, gracious, and talented person.

I’m about to spend $70+ dollars on three CDs. Of course, they are CORE OF SOUL CDs, so that justifies the cost.
I don’t want to explain to my mother why she’ll have to pay the customs fee for me, though… >_<

Sites like CDBaby.com should seriously not exist. I got there after looking up a singer I heard perform recently; now I’m addicted and just surfing and listening and reading reviews like mad.
How indie music is ♥
