Things are going great. I'm relaxed, playing lot of warcraft, eating tasty food and enjoying the warm weather. That is all.
Yay for the Beimer's having a baby girl! Woot!

Killing time
I'm bored, sick of studying, and waiting for 20 minutes to pass before calc is done. So, I'd like to take this time to apologize. As the wise scribe Joel Vanhove once typed in an email, "I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm emailing, because you know guys don't just send emails to keep in touch." This however is no excuse for the lack of emails sent on my end concerning my friends out home. Joel Vanhove...wise guy. Smells a bit like cabbage, but I'm sure he'll find a way to cover up that odor. I'll be home in a week, so I'll see vous (you plural en francais) in a week.

No Countdown!
Hey guys, I only have 187 more hours till I come home? Or, wait... was it 189? Maybe the square root of 34447.36? Oh, I don't know anymore. No more countdowns except for exams left. Three...woot! So now, what's all this talk about school. Aren't there better things to talk about? Yes, two in fact.
1) Jesse Dostal urinated his pants in my room last night for five dollars. I would not have put this on my blog, but Stevo thought it was a must, and Jesse didn't seem to object. Anj, please don't tell Nan.
2) We have a recording studio on the top of the stairs to the left. Yes, my room. It's fantastic, and we're trying to make beautiful music. The lyrics might suggest that I'm a cannibal, and that I live with some odd smelling people, but take heart. I'm just a silly guy. The real lyrics will be coming soon to that song once we mixed everything to sound pretty... and once we have lyrics. I hope it's good.

Une protection durable contre les odeurs avec un parfum frais et masculin
Exams = Underway
simplify and solve for "x"
x = undrwy

I just finished writing my religion exam and it went well. The class of Religion 101 was an interesting one. A lot of good material to learn, not very well presented and oddly tested. I didn't have to go to a single class or write down any notes if I chose to do so and I think my exam would have turned out exactly the same. I didn't even crack open my notes for studying. Interesting.
I would also like to make a recommendation for all those studying for exams. Please, please, listen to good music while you go over your notes. It seriously makes all the difference. I listened to Norah Jones "Feels like Home" and Ben Folds "Rockin' the Suburbs." Your brain connects certain events with whatever is around it. For example, when I smell fires, I think of camping at Shushwap with the fam and of glorious BC mountains and lakes. When I think of which King of Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord (which was most of them oddly enough) I think of "Still Fighting it" by Ben Folds. Nice tool, I enjoy it fully and it's good music.
Things I want to do/want/want to learn:
1) Chill with the Fam
2) Play jazz piano (oh Norah, like glucose in my ear)
3) Play volleyball against this years FVC team
4) Listen to Peter Klomp's stories about Cooper's this year
5) Go sledding at midnight
6) Learn to play the cello or violin (string are just cool)
7) Marry Norah Jones
8) Finish writing exams
9) Buy a dressy scarf so I can be like Josh VanBerkel (ooooh, that well dressed jerk, makes me look so bad)
10) Learn how to draw or take nice photographs

A Formation of a People
Quick review of Narnia: TLWatW
Alsan: Powerful, but too safe (I'm just bitter they didn't have my line in the movie)
Kids: Well cast, innocent enough to be in a fantasy world
Edmund: Little punk that represents so many of us
Entering Narnina: Magical
Mr. Tumnus: Classic, one of the images that stuck in my mind from reading the book
The Beavers: Well represented characters, funny, and add a lot
Battle scene: Good, not gory, but it accomplished what it set out to do
Peter: Well played, brave, dreamy(?)
Witches minions: Obviously the graphic and art design on the Narnia team play warcraft, and it doesn't look like a minotaur...
Overall: 3 out of 5

Safe?
"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.
You'll understand when you see him," said Mrs. Beaver.
"But shall we see him?" asked Susan.
"Why, Daughter of Eve, that's what I brought you here for. I'm to lead you where you shall me him," said Mr. Beaver.
"Is - is he a man?" asked Lucy.
"Aslan a man!" said Mr. Beaver sternly. "Certainly not. I tell you he is the King of the wood and the son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-sea. Don't you know who is the King of Beasts? Aslan is a lion - the Lion, the great Lion."
"Ooh!" said Susan, "I'd thought he was a man. Is he - quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."
"That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver; "if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly."
"Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.
"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver; "don't' you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."
From "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"
I've got my tickets for tomorrow night. Woot!

Trees and Their Open Branches
Update time!
Finals are next week, and I didn't really realize it. They "snuck up" on me metaphorically, which is funny, because finals are just going to be pieces of paper with ink on them in the form of questions. How can inky paper sneak up on you. I doubt that paper or ink has any will to say to itself, "I shall sneak up on this student. Oh, sweet glory, I shall sneak up indeed!" That is why I put "snuck up" in quotations and mentioned it as a metaphor. Ink and paper... no will. Oddly enough, a physical will for a person is usually written on paper with ink describing who gets what, so maybe ink and paper is a will in itself. Thus we can conclude that although ink and paper have no mindful will themselves, they can be a will for someone else, or more likely, another piece of paper with ink on it. So, maybe the finals that snuck up on me are not going on their own will, but instead on the will of other pieces of paper, possibly receipts or magazine articles.
D14 got a gamecube on a spur of the moment "we need to play more Mario games" shopping spree. So Steve and Jesse bought one. A day after Steve wanted another game, so he traded in some PS2 games, including Jesse's beloved Madden '06, to buy a wrestling game. Jesse wasn't a fan, but he's found a way to get what he wants. An item on Jesse's Christmas list : Madden '06 for Gamecube.
Volleyball has been going pretty alright okay. We've won 4 strait and just finished up winning a tourny yesterday in Niagara (falls... hahahahaha). The tourny was poorly organized and in turn we had an odd schedule. We played at 8 on Saturday morning (which we had to leave the school at 6:15 for) and then won very quickly. We were done before 9 and awaited for our next game which was to be at 6 pm. Such is life. I now consider myself a professional athlete however. We were giving 25 dollars each for the weekend as food money. I didn't spend most of my money, and I now have a made a profit from playing a sport. I'm entering my name into the NBA '06 draft this upcoming year.
Congrats to the FVC boys who came in 3rd. See you guys in a couple of weeks.
