Watchmen and Duplicity

Saw Watchmen on the plane to Calgary.

Saw Duplicity on the plane back from Calgary.

Duplicity was fun and entertaining. Incredibly light hearted and confusing in my opinion. It presented nothing new.

Watchmen.... I didn't like it. Aside from the fact that its a reconnaissance of old Super Heroes, which was cool in and of itself, but it, to me, aroused no emotion in watching it. The whole movie was simply made for people who liked the characters from the comic books. Dare I say, it's like the Dragonball movie, only with slightly better acting, and a much much larger budget. I would have thought Watchmen was awesome under either of the two conditions:

1. I grew up with the comic books and love and know these characters inside and out and can't get more of them.
2. I have never before seen a movie in my life and the concept of friend turned foe, clash of idealism versus reality, the nerd getting the girl, and random grotesque psychobabbling blood curling antagonism was completely and utterly new to me (aka: I lived in a bubble).

Since I fall under neither of those two cases, I can safely say that I thought Watchmen was "just another movie."

A horrid website.

http://www.torontotutors.com/ <-- this is the website.

This is my message to the webmasters... to see this kind of listing on the CMA Student Employment Opportunities is.....

This website is a joke right? It not only presents horrid grammar, punctuation, and the most easily fixed typos as it is quite evident that nobody even bothered to proof read this work, but it does not stir an ounce of belief in this website being anything but a troll. Even scams put more effort into their work.

This is a great idea and everything, but the portrayed business acumen is terrible. I would not pay 60 bucks to get tutored by people who can't spell, can't use a word processor (or at least make any effort to show that they can), and whose only competency appears to be in the writing of simple php scripts easily performed by the average twelve year old.

There are no testimonials or any evidence of success. There are no actual names of people and credentials. The About page was absolutely, and dare I say it, bullshit.

Sorry about this. I know you don't care about some random person's opinion. But it angers me when I see trolls like this one on professional listings. It is a waste of time, harddrive space, and bandwidth.

G'day.

Uneasy.

There's an uneasy feeling in my stomach.

I'm feeling really really antsy. I should be asleep right now. I did go to bed, turned off the lights, but couldn't fall asleep.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Well, I do.

But I don't know what to do about it. I'm going slightly insane. The tension is a little too much right now.

I tried describing it to my mom the other day, and it went something like this:

You know when you watch a scary movie? Horror movie? And you know at some point something is going to jump out at you and make you scream with terror but you don't know when? You know its coming, but not when... any moment now... maybe later?... maybe now? That tension of anticipation? After you've seen a horror movie once, it isn't all that scary the second time around because you know what to expect.

I don't think it went across very well.... I don't think my mother watches enough scary movies. But that's essentially what I'm feeling like for most of the days these days. I'm waiting in eager (or not so eager) anticipation of something happening (I think I don't have to explain what the something is.... my story is not a new one) but it hasn't come yet. It keeps me awake for the most part, depressed for the other, and alert and antsy for whatever is left.

I only have one thing left to say.

FML.

Omg, new Crazeeeeee

So I know I'm supposed to be gung ho about studying... but I got tired recently....

And... found a new craze o.O

I am absolutely in love w/ ABJD T____________T

It's insane.

I need a life.

I'm going to start making my own ABJDs.... after my exams.

The first 2 will be Hikaru and Sai from Hikaru no Go, complete with a mini go board set. Look forward to it.

Ima phail.

I"M GOING TO FAIL!!

I know, we hear that a lot from me, and yet somehow I end up being just fine. I've lost all credibility because I've cried wolf so often.

But seriously? 73 chapters? 6 volumes? I'm... currently on chapter 50... but I need to review and take notes for the first 28 once I'm done thru chapter 73. THEN I have to try out the problems for ALL the chapters (which I haven't touched a single one of) and then memorize my notes like mad.

How much time? The exam is June 6th.

I'm going to Guelph next week, and possibly for half of the week after.

The only way this'll work is if SOMEHOW (and I DO mean to stress SOMEHOW) finish up to chapter 73 by this sunday or saturday. Somehow. :S

That leaves me monday and maybe a couple weekday evenings (~3-4?) to make notes for the first 28 chapters. Then my notes would be complete. That would give me about two weeks to review and memorize like CRAZY.

Lets not forget this full time job and GOING TO GUELPH thing.... I'm not even going to mention my eye doctor's appointment on the 29th now.... oh wait. I did T_T. Well then... 29th I'm going to get a retinal scan and see if I'm going blind or not (yes, I sound nonchalant, but trust me, it occupies about 80% of my brain capacity, and the other 20% currently is just filled with an image of a slinky going down endless flights of stairs. But yeah... I have to leave work early that day and somehow make it to Toronto by 5 pm...I don't suspect I'll be back until 9-ish. That leaves me maybe 3 hours of work, during which I can usually finish 2 chapters at the speed I'm going.... but I need to average like 4-5 a day to make it...

I did 4 today... I was supposed to finish up an entire volume tho... leaving it to tml... bad... but I kinda fell asleep.

Bah.

Goal for this weekend: Reading a 643 page book.

CFA Level 1 2009, Financial Reporting and Analysis. Volume 3.

Using Power Reading Techniques, I will attempt to read this entire book by Monday.

It is currently Saturday 6 pm. Most of Tomorrow will be spent in Toronto.

So without further Ado, here we go. Results will be posted by Monday.

EXAMS ARE DONE!

YEAH!

*Looks at below post*

Er... the next few days after that was spent studying like crazy (mostly w/ other smart ppl who can teach me) :D

DONE!!!
