As I'm sitting here

eating the official food of the Bro-Zone Lair, i realize that this is the best opportunity for a little bloggy journal update.  i havent written a substantial post in quite some time and im quite jealous of mr. cobra's zeal and rapid fire posting.  but i am 100% positive that all the jealousy with transferred from me to him once he views the "official food" picture and sees that it is a delicious platter of ants on a log (prepared and devoured by yours truly)

i think there is peanut butter on my keyboard though...

my grad school is interesting because for one of the assignments, we were to do a "creative diagrammatic summary" of either: exodus, samuel, or job.  the reason for this grad school crayon activity is so that we get to do something other than write papers.  this is right up my alley because to quote my 11th grade english teacher, "you're just not a good writer"....so i will exceed with my artistic interpretations.

the project was to be limited to 2 pieces of paper...and we had to portray the structure, sub-structure, themes, sub-themes, etc ALL IN A CREATIVE WAY.

i chose the book of job.  because its awesome and my idea to present it was supremium!

unfortunately i turned it in without getting a picture of it.  im an idiot.  however, i can still explain what i did and then ill post the whole thing later.

well, job apparently found out about the internets (specifically the facebooks) and created a profile for himself.  (again, not a real profile, just one on the papers....so dont go searching for Job on the facebooks)

Job had a profile picture, information, notes, gifts....and most importantly he had a extensively filled wall.

all the different sections of the books structure was marked off by status changes:

JOB is suffering
JOB is talking to his three "genius" friends
JOB is listening to Elihu
JOB is talking to God
JOB is redeemed!

all the wall posts were all the discussions from his friends.  lets meet the players:




so pretty much if i dont get like 200% and $1000 on this assignment then im going to destroy life and eat everything.

regardless of the grade, i really enjoyed re-reading Job and thoroughly studying it...its such an awesome (and brutal) book.  

NEXT:

well last night was a party (and i went to it).  the theme of this party was "Bollywood" and apparently i didnt know what that meant because i dressed like aladdin....aladdin in the 21st century of course.  i made aladdin pants out of my bed sheet and my shoes were totally awesome.  "thats what they looked like back then!!" i kept yelling as my friend matt tried to explain that ancient egypt had nothing to do with this party.  whatever, i looked great.  

after the party, laura, michelle, gini, eva, and i (thats right, girls night out!)  went to tim horton's after the party.  gini (mamma g, virg), eva (baby feminist spice), and i went inside to get some yum yums.  laura (too lame) and michelle (too classy) stayed in the car.  as we were waiting in line, i start to hear chatter about my attire from a group of young partiers.  

me - "im aladdin!" (as i start to dance)

group - "OMG LOOK AT HIS SHOES!!!"

me - "well, yeah, how else would i steer my magic carpet?"

after the "high" of witnessing the true aladdin, one of the human female partiers proceeded to "fall asleep" in a tim horton "chair".  laura and michelle later told us that they were thoroughly entertained with the situation in tim hortons that night.  i had fun.  the partiers had fun.  eva hated her turkey/bacon sandwich because it had honey mustard on it BUT SHES FOOLISH BECAUSE HONEY MUSTARD IS THE DANK BANK!  gini was wanting to enjoy her hot chocolate but according to tim horton, "chocolate drank" should only be consumed at boiling temperatures.  as for me....I KILLED MY APPLE JUICE AS IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT or if BZL pledging was back in full force!  yum goody yay!

well tomorrow (monday) marks the first day of READING WEEK!!!!!! YAAAAYY!!

however, unlike the first reading week, im going to be DISCIPLINED and WAKE UP EARLY to read and work because i have so much work that my face is melting off just thinking about it.  i feel like i have to read the entire old testament in one week.  also, my insides are crying when i think of hebrew...im so far behind that its not even funny!  unless its not happening to you, then its HILARIOUS!  soooo feel free to make fun of me and laugh at my expense.....ill eat you.

however, mornings and afternoons will be dedicated to studying but i definitely want to take the advantage of no school for a week to explore the vast and wonderful city of vancouver.  i want to be on an adventure every night! IT WILL BE AMAZING!  ill walk around all the parts of the city and try to tap into the premium night life of dance-offs, rap battles, and cinnamon roll eating contests!  

no longer will i settle for 3 movies a day!  (although that does sound awesome)  

OH!  i just remember that since i dressed like aladdin for that party...i really want to have a party (not at my place) where the theme is that you dress up like your favorite disney character.  mine of course would be from disney's robin hood.  ill let you guess which one id be.   
so yeah, someone have this party.  and ill bring a plethora of milks and oreo cookies.
