Considering that I will be moving to a new home in a few weeks, I thought it'd be a good idea to start brainstorming ideas about what I'd like my new abode to look like. Since my roommate and I are signing a 14-month lease, having a comfortable space is going to be important!

I naturally was attracted to the idea of purchasing a nice duvet cover first. Since my main piece of furniture (the bed) is set, I figured it'd make sense to spruce that up first and work my way up from there. After going through sites like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Anthropologie, Crate & Barrle, and IKEA, these were the main contenders for duvet covers I like.

( The contenders! )

What do you guys think? At this point, I'm super attracted to the idea of a brighter colored duvet cover because I know for everything else, I'm going to pick pretty simple and color-neutral things. Then again, I've always loved having blue bedding, so the striped one is totally pulling me... Decisions, decisions.

Just wondering, but does anyone on the f-list watch Fringe?

It's a sci-fi TV series about an FBI division that researches crimes related to scientific phenomena. Along with the main FBI agent, Olivia, she has a team consisting of a formerly-insane scientist, his con-man son, and a research assistant. Through their investigations, they uncover the possibility of a war between a greater alien race and the human race, but because this is JJ Abrahms, nothing is certain.

If you guys haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it if only to watch the scientist, Walter, and how his character evolves. He is one of my favorite characters currently on television - he is insane, but in a way that is both compelling and sincere. The actor who plays him is amazing.

I say this because Yang and I were watching the second-to-last episode, and Walter's character just tears at my heart. It's worth watching if only for his character. Joshua Jackson is also not bad. :)

On exam testing strategies:
"Professor, if I have a comparative advantage in multiple choice questions, and my neighbor has a comparative advantage in the analytical questions, should we engage in inter-chair trade during the exam?" -Jimmy

Response:
"For this exam, assume that you're in autarky, and if you DO engage in international trade, then there will not only be heavy tariffs, but also other heavy barriers to trade." - Prof. Wood

Yang: OMG
i thought of the best cartoon character antagonist name
Irate Pirate!!!
his nickname is IP
and he surfs the seas of the web and is a cyberpirate
:-D

me: HAHAHAH
i like it
:)

Yang: his greatest flaw is that he's angry
but the reason he pirates is because he wants to provide for his daughter calm clara
who is the only person that can stop his irateness

If I had any artistic skill, I would draw the cover for this for him. Because I think it's pretty awesome. ♥

Today in my Microeconomics class, my professor said something to the effect of, "The market doesn't care whether or not you buy the firm from the original owner. The market only cares if the firm is running efficiently."

To which I literally LOL-ed in class because the first thought that entered my head was, "Unless you're STEVE JOBS." XDXDXD

It probably isn't evident from my sporadic entries, but as busy as I have been this year, I absolutely adore all my classes. Regardless of how tired/restless/bored I may be in some of them, I still take great pleasure in learning everything that I am learning. I just wish my test scores would reflect the love and vigor with which I apply myself to my classes. ^_^;;

Ah, academia! I have finally, truly seen you for who you are. And I can't help but love you!

Dear Ludacris,

Your music is so ridiculous and fun. It seriously just makes my day.

I am so glad you're making a comeback.


With much love,

Linh

I have pink eye. T__T;;;

So, I absolutely completely totally adore The Game's "My Life". It's probably one of the newer songs I've heard that actually mean something. It makes me sad that the business is the way it is... because if we were going by pure rapping ability and content alone, The Game would win hands down. Too bad he isn't commercial. :/

And I am now just slowly understanding the complexity that is Lupe Fiasco's music. I must've listened to his albums at least 50 times already, and every time, I catch something I didn't notice before. The man really puts time into his craft.

There is in general too much to listen to. I have Jay Chou, DBSK and Epik High downloaded on my computer, but alas, have not had the time to listen to their albums. Is it bad that of all these, I am most excited about Epik High?

In any case! The first wave of intense work is over. BRING IT SECOND WAVE! I've got coffee on standby for tag team duty. :p

P.S. Running on two hours of sleep. This will be fun.

I like being busy. There's something very nice about constantly having stuff to do, and it forces me to do something I am horrible at: staying calm under pressure. It's a rough struggle, that fight between the nervous fear that constantly wants to break through and the clamps of control that are not as strong as I want them to be. But! Such is life, right? :)

This week, I am working on a case competition that I know nothing about, reviewing another case I do know something about, working on problem sets, and going on retreats left and right. Last night, I kept giggling and making silly comments at Yang, and poor Vance thought I was going crazy from the stress... Truth is, despite the fact that this coming week is going to be insane, I'm actually kind of excited. Even if it's a lot of information to sort through, find, understand, it's interesting.

And last comment: The DBSK Mirotic MV is SEXY. I was so happy watching that today. :)

I got bitten by bugs and it itches!!!

ITCHES! D:
