Gotham trailer

OMIGOD I watched it and I'M FREAKING OUT. It is... epic!!!
I can’t wait I can’t wait I can’t wait I can’t wait I can’t wait I can’t. WAIT!
Well, maybe I was wrong about DC. Then again, I didn’t much like Arrow, no matter how many people rave about it. The main actor is just so bad. Just. really bad at acting. Although I do like the other characters, it’s hard to get into when it focuses on the main guy so much.
But then, Marvel isn’t doing too well in TV-land either. Agents of Shield is really slow to start and it’s hard to care about what happens to the characters for a bit. But I think I’m warming up to it, especially with the recent episodes.
But anyway.
This looks so cool! I just wish the fall season was here already. I heard they’re also doing a Flash show, as a spin-off from Arrow. But maybe this one’ll be good, if the guy can actually act.
Sigh. I really hope DC doesn’t let me down again.

Oooh… I really hope Fox doesn’t cancel this one.

So it's summertime...

Or should I say, it's summer!! I'm so happy, I'm practically throwing up rainbows.
No, really.
Why shouldn't I be happy? It's not as if it isn't swimsuit weather and I have become completely out of shape. Completely. I really need to start working out again. Sigh. But at least I can wear dresses now! Well, without those annoying tights, anyway.
But anyway.
Sorry for skipping out on you guys (if there really is anyone out there. Anyone? *tumbleweed rolls by* Well then.) in April. Just, you know, exam month and all. Complete stress-out and not bathing for a week because of the work and stress and procrastination and... I really don't want to think about last month again. Please don't make me.
On the bright side, I made passable grades this year! I really don't know how I managed that. I didn't study at all, until like, literally the two hours in the morning before the exam. :/ Hm. I should really modify my studying technique. Well, there's summer school for that! God help me.
So yeah.
I watched The Winter Soldier. Then watched it a second time. Again. Because it was so AWESOME! I loved it! Sigh. I really need to watch it a third time. The action, the storyline, the heroes, the antagonist, the villain, everything was amazing! Now I really can't wait for Guardians of the Galaxy. I know a lot of people say it looks lame, but Marvel has proven itself over and over again in producing quality films, and I really trust them now to give me a good story with lots of action.
Unlike DC. God, Man of Steel was so bad. I mean, it wasn't that bad for a movie adaptation, but so many things about it were just so wrong. If you've followed the shows Smallville and Justice League, watched the DC animated movies, read the comics, and overall is a complete geek like I am about the Justice League, then you'd know that Superman never kills! I mean, it's what makes him Superman. Just like how Batman never uses guns. The whole thing about Superman is that he's this guy that can literally kill you with his pinkie, but he chooses not to. He's super-powerful, but he chooses the harder, but more morally upright path, rather than just kill left and right, 'cause he could do that. Easily.
And then there's Lois. You know, Anne Hathaway made a passable Catwoman, so I was willing to give Amy Adams the benefit of the doubt. God, was I wrong. She was so bad. Just. So bad. I mean, Lois is supposed to be sassy, fiery. Professional, yes, but never polite. She's supposed to make snarky comments, and... just be Lois.
Sigh. I could go on and on about that movie. Sometimes I think DC is digging itself deeper (I mean cancelling Young Justice for Teen Titans Go? Really?), while Marvel is rising to the top. And I used to be a much bigger fan of DC than Marvel. I guess times are a'changin. Maybe it'll get better? I hope so.
Oh! And I wanted to talk another thing about The Winter Soldier.
You know, when I saw the actor who played Bucky Barnes, he looked really familiar. And then I realized he played the character Carter Baizen in Gossip Girl. It was so weird! Especially because I never thought of Baizen as hot. I always thought he looked sort of smarmy. My sister and I always called him Smarmy Carter Baizen. And then I saw the actor in the Winter Soldier, and he was hot! I think it was the muscle, but he was smoking hot in the Winter Soldier. God. That was really surprising. But that actor can really act. I mean, I still can't reconcile the fact that those two drastically different characters were played by the same person.
But yeah. Here you go. A long-ass post in apology for missing all of April. Actually, I could go on and on.
But I should really stop ranting pointlessly.
Sigh. I love Marvel now. And not only because of the hot bods. ;)

Gotta love the epic action scenes in that movie alone!

I have a plan...

I'm going to fix this stupid staying-up-until-6am-and-then-crashing-and-not-going-to-school thing.
It's an awesome plan.
All I have to do is stay up all night and not sleep until it actually is time for me to sleep, i.e. 10 pm.
It'll work, definitely. I just have to avoid longer-than-15-minutes naps. Because that's going to wreck my internal clock, not fix it.
And besides, I know what I need to do while I'm waiting for the hours to go by.
Study.
And of course I'll do that. Why are you doubting me?
Just watch. I will fix this. It can be fixed. And I`ll do it. Right now. As soon as I'm done posting this. Which is now.
I can juggle and not fail. Totally.

Just finished an assignment...

At 4am. Yup, I am diligent in my work. Definitely.

Funnily enough, I'm not really all that tired. I'm really hungry, though.
Maybe it's because I already took a nap around 12 hours ago.
But I should sleep. Make an effort to fix my fucked up internal clock. Hmm. After a small snack. After all, I did do some homework today (granted, it was homework that was due anyway, but still).
You know, speaking of small snacks, I'm really getting fond of almond milk. I don't know why. It's just really good. And low on calories.
Maybe I'm finally becoming weight-conscious?
Nah. That'll only happen when I regret ordering out pizza so many times. Which I should stop. Really. On the bright side, I seem to have amassed a lot of 2 for 1 movie tickets. Maybe I can ask someone out.
Nevermind. I'll just wait until April 4th. Which is when the Captain America: The Winter Soldier's coming out!
You know, I read somewhere that, in the comics, Black Window gets with the Winter Soldier. And they're this huge power-couple. I hope they hint at it in the movies!

Now you can tell I'm tired. My mind's rambling and going off in all different directions. I'll sign off before I make you nauseous.

Don't they just look awesome together! They would totally be a favourite ship of mine. ^_^

I am sooo stressed....

So I decided to do a fun thing yesterday, and look up when my next tests were going to be.
I really shouldn't have.
Now I literally feel like tearing my hair out and cowering under my bed for eternity.

You know, I used to think I handled stress well, but now I really doubt it. After my minute of hyper-ventilating "Oh god, oh god, I have a physics test in two weeks!", I automatically went into shutdown mode. In which I went on Netflix, started to watch a show, and basically avoided like crazy. Needless to say, I didn't sleep last night. At least until 9am. Thereafter, missing an important class.
I really need to fix this. And I'm going to. Right away.
Right now, actually. I'm going to close this post and go study and/or workout (it helps with the stress sometimes).
Let's hope I accomplish at least one thing today.

So Reading Week's over...

For those of you who don't live in Canada, let me redefine the term as Spring Break.
Not that February is spring, really. Especially in Canada.

I didn't even get to do anything, though, let alone study. I told my manager last week that it was reading week, so I had full availability if he needed me. And it turned out that he took that to heart, and I worked six days out seven. I am so fucking tired. But the paycheck will be awesome! :)
But I told him I can't do the same thing this week because of school, and he said he'd try to cut back my shifts but he hopes I'll be there "when I'm really needed and there's no one else available."
God.
He really needs to hire another person. All the cashiers at work are strained as it is. Not to mention so many of them going on fucking vacation when I have school. I mean, couldn't they go in May, or June? When exams end?
I mean, really.

So I bought a bunch of frozen pizzas

They were on sale for only $4 each. :) I've heard that might be expensive to some people in the US, but here in Toronto that's super cheap.

So... yeah. My foray into cooking has ended with me not knowing where any of the ingredients in our house is and the food that I was actually able to make tasting like bland pieces of shit.
I'm tired.
And broke.
I can't keep spending ten dollars or more a day eating out. It's killing me.
So I decided to just buy large quantities of frozen food (specifically, pizzas right now—maybe I'll focus on something healthier later on when this sale ends) and cook it the night before school for lunch the next day.
I also got these throwaway coffee containers from the dollar store so that I can just have some coffee in the morning without having to rush to Timmie's, or having a huge metal thermos weighing down my already heavy backpack (I swear, I have back problems from this).
Hopefully, I can go at least two weeks without ordering out. My goal is to spend just ten dollars a week on food and stuff, and hopefully pay off the huge debt on my credit card.
I'll let you know when I actually succeed.

Try our new "Burned" flavour! It tastes just like you'd expect it to! No surprises here, no sirree.
