Diversions

Hey you. Yes, you.

Nothing much has happened since my last post. I wish I could blog about exciting new travels, interesting incidents or something, but the reality is I've been back and forth between home and uni, studying most of the time and procrastinating the rest. Routine stuff.

I'm in the middle of the mid-terms and assignments season, so just working to clear the lot. For some good news, I've been accepted into Wharton. I'll be back in KL probably mid-July to mid-August, then flying off to the states for the fall term. After the term ends in mid-December, I'll be traipsing around NYC with Aditi and Rachael for about two weeks, celebrating the end of my uni life and my first step into the real world.

As exciting as it is, that's all still a little way off. Amidst the tedium, I've been amusing myself with little time-wasting diversions on the internet, like this.

There once was a buggy AI
Who decided her subject should die.
When the plot was uncovered,
The subjected discovered
That sadly the cake was a lie.

I figure Alex would particularly appreciate this one. ;) Anyway, more here! The site was set up by Randall Munroe, creator of xkcd, and is pretty much a bash.org for (mostly geeky) limericks. It's pretty entertaining. Here's another one that made me laugh.

There once was a man named Bertold
Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
As he reached for his cup...
"NEEEEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!"
Oh, snap! You just got limerickrolled!

Oh, one last note. The beautiful love between House and Wilson, it's trooo! Okay, so the whole internet knew before me, but better late than never. I hadn't been watching House in awhile (slow internet, can't download) but not too long ago I turned on the TV to find the most squeeworthy episode of House. Ever.

[transcript]

House - S04E12:

HOUSE: This isn't just about the sex. You like her personality. You like that she's conniving. You like that she has no regard for consequences. You like that she can humiliate someone if it serves...
HOUSE: [wide-eyed] Oh, my God. You're sleeping with me.

...

HOUSE: Went by your hotel this morning. They told me you moved out. Moved in with CB?
WILSON: No, apparently, I moved in with you.
HOUSE: The very fact that you're resisting my insight proves to me...
WILSON: [interrupts] House, you're right. Why not? Why not date you? I-i-it's brilliant.
WILSON: We've known each other for years, We've put up with all kinds of crap from each other, and we keep coming back. We're a couple!

Kudos to the writers of the show for making the world a better place with House/Wilson. Now if only Smallville could take some hints...
