Studying and studying and studying
It’s another cold, rainy wet Auckland day. Not like that is anything new. So I’m sitting in the info commons with Edris and Susan, studying hard (obviously). It’s less then a week till exams and I’m doing the bi-annual “why didn’t I start studying earlier” rant. But WHY? Why didn’t I start studying till now? Why didn’t I go to class? Why am I not studying now??? Why why WHY?
Oh well, I’ve done five years of this, so what’s one more set of exam right? Well, that’s what I keep telling myself. So I’m studying stats again, hence the need to procrastinate by writing a post in my Blogg (see previous post).
Well in another bout of “I really should be doing work, but oh, internet!” I was reading BBBs blogg and got a little nostalgic. He posted about his childhood fondness of Gremlins! After we ohhh’d, awwwd and ahhhhhd over the pictures of the Mogwai with a pot belly, I started thinking about my favourite kiddy things. I still remember Falcor from the Neverending Story and the little worm with funky blue hair from the Labyrinth (“wanna come in and meet the missus?”). Of course, after all that, I started ranting and raving about the value of today’s cartoons and movie characters. What ever happened to my favs, like the trash heap from Fraggle Rock?
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Speaking of cartoons, I’ve just spent a good chunk of an hour watching Madagascar of Edris’ computer… randomly laughing and having people staring (headphones you see). I love the little Lemurs, especially Mort, he’s so sweet. For some reason I keep thinking of
these lines:“Get up Mort! Do not be near the King’s feet okay?”
“After much deep and profound brain things in my head…” yeah, I feel like that too sometimes!
Intense I know…. Deep and profound stuff going on in my daily life… oh well back to Juris!!

Hehe when I saw that picture of Falcor, I did the loudest "Awwwww!" I swear the neighbours heard me hehe.
I think I saw Madagascar with you eh Amy? Wasn't there a point in the movie where the monkeys said "If you have any poo, now would be a good time to fling it". A that point I seem to remember both of us cracking up laughing hehe.

I see that our favourite Goodnight Kiwi is missing from the list :( As we all know, the lack of Goodnight Kiwi is the reason for all that is wrong with the kids of today (man I sound old).
haha! don't worry James, you and me both. Edris looked at my cartoon folder and discretly commented that she didn't know any of them, then whispered under her breath "man you must be old"... smooth;)
Man I loved Madagascar. I also remember the part when the monkeys are hesitating about breaking out but then the head honcho says "of course we will be flinging poo". laughed out loud in front of CI nazis;)
