Peons In The Mist

sitting in the Engineering Canteen, an empty cup of joe next to me and a slight jiggle in my extremeties as i type up a long-overdue blog. having taken up this part-time job, i find spare time to do personal things even more fleeting and precious. after work and picking Peijun up to send her home, i just want to get horizontal and let the tension ease from my body. not so easy when there's so much to do.

been just over a week of part-time work. i think organising Prof Foong's research stuff was a major success, measuring virtual OVD on Lit Teen's projections was pretty decent. but tracing MRIs makes me want to run screaming for my bed to lose consciousness. should have discovered Engin coffee earlier, though, it tastes pretty good and seems to be loaded full of caffeine goodness. just can't wait for it to be all over. its a cold-lonely lab in Engin, with no company. occasionally, 2 girls from VJC are in my area to do their colaboration with Prof Foong and Hsiao Piau. theyre about as friendly as rotting tree stumps, and ignore my presence except when i open the door for them after they go for pee breaks. assholes... where i come from being polite enough to say hi is required!

on the Anime front, Arts Central's latest import, Monster, seems to be really good stuff. not the usual blow-stuff-up shonen adventure, Monster deals with horror and moral dilemmas, centred around a killer with no morals who was saved by a doctor years before. and i guess thats all i can throw up without utterly spoilerising it.

seems like the little plans Peijun and me had to take a small regional break may not be happening, too short notice, not enough resource. but there's always next year, when we have more coin in the pocket, and the op is over.

one round of practice achieved for Terence and Lishan's wedding. even though this time only half of us will be Ejects and Rejects (or voluntary withdrawals) but the music looks like it'll be good. the small but acoustically decent venue will also help immensely. auditoriums suck! and because the runway is so short, whatever we play of Canon in D will not have a chance to hit the funky bit. plus point or minus point, take it as you wish...
