Go Away Flu

Everyone's falling ill at some point this past week!! It's outrageous. If we actually measured happiness in this world, I'm sure this would be the Great Depression of 2009 (WOW it's 2009 and in a year we're graduating. Damn.)

Seriously folk, the CDC doesn't exist for no reason (though its budget might speak otherwise). Here's just a few tips they suggest:

• "Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it." (Tissue = very important)
  
• "Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective."
• "Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way."
• "Stay home if you get sick." Be misanthropic and STAY HOME.
  

Don't be an incubator for disease!

A Night of Spades

So today, The Raconteur, Dzi, Peter and I did some malicious stuff with spades. We turned a store into our graffiti studio, we mugged a baby and stole its lollipop, and we made fun of grossly obese people tripping over cracks.

All of the above, by the way, it totally true false.

We had two epic games of Spades- Peter and I on one team; The Raconteur and Dzi on the other. The first round found us in a limbo before Peter and I defeated the other team 503 to 502. The second round found Peter and me tragically burning to hell, losing with by 200.

Youtube Notables: Elton John and Musical Acts!

There's nothing more time-consuming than surfing Youtube. Here are some interesting videos:

Who doesn't enjoy Elton John? His music is awesome, he's a Knight Bachelor, and he's still standing!


The next thing that caught my attention is actually a clever and applaudable rendition of Maxwell's Silver Hammer by The Beatles. The act was performed by many of our own Magnet students during the 2009 Magnet Arts Night.


And here's Newground's animation of the same song: Caution! Not for the faint of heart xD

What's your exodus?

Not too soon after closure of the banished exams, the year's end is just around the corner. Nevertheless, the stress, the angst, and the nerve-wracking anticipation are still overwhelming! But what we've done is irreversible, and what we have yet to do is being procrastinated upon (unless you suck).

For those who cant stand the wait and those who cant bear the frustrations of the impeding end, remember: what's done is done and you've tried your best. Look forward to your future journeys with high hopes and secure expectations that with each step, you will become a magnitude freer.

We all want extrication and we've all built ourselves around that desire. Yet each of us dreams of realizing a different exodus. For me, I simply want to be raised out of my incendiary paper-castle and lifted towards the loftiest clouds of pleasure. What's your exodus?
