LJ update or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Alright everyone,

    So, I haven't made an resolutions. I did however get a Wii Fit for Christmas (thank you Ian!). Now, I know what you're all thinking: "But Brandon, you're so ripped already" "Your muscles scare small children and cats" "How will you afford all the new tight fitting clothing your muscles on muscles will need?" I hate to break it to you but I'm out of shape. Clearly, I have no shape at all. So, I am going to work out and attempt to gain weight (see: muscle) and be healthy.

    So far Wii Fit has motivated me everyday this week to work out. I'm even considering a light jaunt around the block and maybe to Central Park. Who knows. All I know is I can hula one hell of a hoop. Challenge me, I dare you.

  Today, I tried to buy a discounted calendar (best time of the year to buy one! DEALS!) but saw none that appealed to my strict notion of 'tastefulness'. While puppies may be cute, Golden Retrievers go out of style by March. Also, I went to Chapters to buy an agenda (best time of the year to buy one! DEALS!!!!) but Chapters thwarted my efforts. In the 50% off bin there was Moleskin Daily Planner. I snagged it and waited in line - got to a cashier and voila! It wasn't 50% off. Regular agendas were, Moleskins not so much. DAMN YOU PICASSO AND HEMINGWAY! I proceeded to melt the cashier's face off with my glare and then politely walk away.

   School starts on Monday. TOO SOON. I'm taking History 325: Canada from 1896 to 1945; History 326: Canada since 1945; History 412: American influence on Canada; and maybe ASTU 400G: History of Tibet from 1900. This last one (the 'odd' one out) is a last minute decision and I might not go through with it. It's a student run seminar and I think it will be very interesting. I was only hoping for a 3 course semester.

   Lastly, I'm reading the Watchmen. Such a good 'graphic novel' or dare I say COMIC BOOK? If I was a superhero or masked vigilante I'd fight crime by teaching people proper manners. Like not to spit or swear in public. To stop wearing Yoga pants as if its evening wear. I get that last one is taste. Fuck it, I'm a superhero.

What's your hula hoop record? I haven't played Wii Fit since I started teaching. :(

Stay in the Tibet one! It's your duty as a half-Chinese person to do so.

Watchmen is so good. Did you read it because you wanted to read it before the movie came out and then everyone in the world would try to read it? (PS I'm dressing up as Dr. Manhattan next Halloween)

On super hula I'm up to 970ish each way.

I feel like if I'm there, I'm just to defend Tibet and anger all the pro-Chinese. Bastards. I'm totally friends with Tenzin Gyatso. I call him Big-T.

I'm reading it because my room mate got it for me for Christmas. I have also realized that I love comic book movies, so I may as well read the comics which are usually infinitely better.

I better see some blue wang. Just saying.

How's married life?

Married life would be better if my husband didn't live in Maryland for most of it. He had to finish up his degree, but he arrives on Tuesday!! Yayyy! It's as great as it can be, given our distance though :)

I can't remember my hula score. When I go to my parents next I'll have to check my score.

If you want to read trendy graphic novels, I sure hope you've read Maus (I & II) and Persepolis (which is also a movie). And like a billion others but if you haven't read those then WORK ON IT.
