A little late on the posting, but this Thanksgiving will forever stick with me. All the good moments and laughs.

I just realized there are exactly 4 weeks until classes end and we enter exam week. And then it's be 3 weeks of winter break in Colorado for me, where I'm going to learn how ski and not die crashing into a tree.

Haha, just look at Achmed's expression. Jeff Dunham's a pretty good ventriloquist.

I bought tickets for my brother and I to watch next week's Harry Potter movie! I wonder if there will be as much of a craze as previous years. I must say I was never really into the Harry Potter movies, especially back in the day when the Lord of the Rings movies were coming out - I mean that trilogy was truly a MASTERPIECE. I guess I'm excited because nothing eventful has been happening in my summer vacation so far. Not that I'm not enjoying it.

I find that having the luxury of sleeping whenever I'm drowsy and for as little or as much as I wish; and having the freedom to become a recluse/hermit and just stay at home surrounded by all the books I've bought and been planning to read for the past year; and having the internet as one of the main windows towards the outside world as rather peaceful and enjoyable. Of course, my body seriously itches to get OUT at least once a week, such as today. The weather was a killer though - my mood immediately plunged as I was hit by 35 degrees celcius plus heat waves. The most terrible thing about the weather here in Taiwan is that you actually feel pressed and suffocated by the solid-like heat, because of the high humidity on this tropical island.

Anyway, enough said. I took a photograph (because my scanner broke), of my ticket and the accompanying sticker they gave. Taiwanese movie tickets are so different from the sort of stubs I recall from South Africa and Australia (maybe they are different now?). As for Taiwan, they're just printed on fax paper...

I'm so excited. Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass from His Dark Materials trilogy got made into a movie by New Line Cinema (producer of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy). The movie will be coming out December 7. Check out the website at http://goldencompassmovie.com  Among the many actors starring in this movie include Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter, Daniel Craig as Lord Astriel, and Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra.

They even have this quiz that tells you what daemon you might have: 

Ha! What a coincidence. I've always wanted an osprey, or some kind of falcon as my pet. And it turns out that my daemon is an osprey. How nice. A friend of mine says that it describes me quite faithfully.
