into the crap.

i really don't care if into the woods won a million awards, i don't like the music. and i when i say don't like, i really mean LOATHE. i'd choose the music of jason robert brown, adam guettel, or stephen schwartz over stephen sondheim's anyday. lemme put it this way: i'd rather listen to john tesh, and that is saying a lot. :P

fullscreen vs. widescreen

i've always thought that widescreen dvds and fullscreen dvds were the same except for those black lines which on square tvs just made the picture smaller. i figured full screens were for square tvs and widescreen were for, well, widescreen tvs (makes sense, no?) apparently i was wrong - turns out they are not the same. at all.

don't believe me? see for yourself.

i was shocked at the difference. oh well, most of my dvds are in widescreen anyway except for *looks through dvds* hoodwinked...and all my harry potters. mama nooooo!

i wish someone had told me about this earlier, but at least now i know. and now, so you do. :)

hogwarts on the brain...

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

i'm a hufflepuff! i was kinda hoping for gryffindor, but i guess i'd rather be in hufflepuff than in ravenclaw. and well, anything is better than slytherin. haha.

p.s. i absolutely loved the seventh harry potter book! (i finished it the day i bought it, which was also the day it came out.) i think it's actually my favourite of the lot of them. i'm pretty sad the series is over, but at least it was good brilliant while it lasted. :)

complete randomness



today one of my coworkers casually told me that he was friends with a christian singer. ok whatever, was my first thought.

then i found out that his friend was mark masri. apparently they grew up together and are actually really good friends. (he even showed me his facebook as proof. haha.) i was expecting him to name some completely random unfamous dude so i was actually kinda impressed. mark masri is actually kinda famous. kinda. liz has his cd (from way back) and i remember justis used to sing one of his songs at the top of his lungs. :P

then he said he also grew up with another christian singer, hiram joseph. ehhhh not as famous as mr. masri, but ok. still kinda pretty impressive i suppose. i heard him sing somewhere sometime once or twice. he seemed like a nice guy with a pretty nice voice.

BUT THEN HE PULLED OUT THE KICKER.

coworker: "you know who tarzan dan is right?"
me: "yah! the radio guy that was in that metal camper thing on the Hit List!"
coworker: "yah...well, he's my brother."

WHAT????!?!?!?!?!?! :O :O :O

you know you're an 80s baby when you think that the fact that tarzan dan is your coworker's brother is totally cool. haha.

potter weekend

from reading the last book to seeing the movie, this past weekend was definitely harry potter weekend for me! to be perfectly honest, i thought the movie was kinda 'meh'. yah there were a lot of cool special effects, but i liked the fifth book better in my imagination. :P

it's been even longer...

...since i've updated my picture albums, but i did! well, i updated my imagestation at least. one can only do so many in one night. haha. :P

click here to see pics from winterlicious 2006, summerlicious @ toula, a softball game (illuminate vs. david's mighty men), and summerlicious @ auberge du pommier, along with other albums that are way old. enjoy! :)

it's been a while...

...since i've updated. i know, this post has been highly anticipated by the masses. (by masses, i mean my three faithful readers.) haha

it feels like many things have happened in the last little while, but to save you all the trouble of reading oodles and noodles of words (and myself the trouble of typing everything out) i'll give you the short condensed version: the highlights if you will.

- finished my clinical hours for my internship (best feeling ever! ok no, i lie.)
- finished helping out with kingdom kids (oh those little ones...)
- started working some job contracts (i am a free labourer no more.)
- met up with some lccf friends for a summerlicious dinner (good times!)

...and that's pretty much it (hmm, maybe not a lot has happened afterall. haha.) until next time, later dayz. :)

twenty-seven on the 27th!

happy golden birthday liz - hope you had the best and shiniest golden birthday ever!!! *<|:)

tough week

this week has been hard. very hard.
it's weeks like this week that make 9-5 deskjobs look so appealing to me.
