down to earth
i haven't been updating because when i came back on sunday night, my LAN connection wasn't working. it took 2 days of calling the front desk and IT services and bringing my comp down and everything... until i finally replaced my LAN cable today. so here i am. back online.
anyway with regards to interesting things going on on campus... do you know tt vancouver is one of the 'filming destinations'? hollywood likes filming their movies and dramas over here coz the pace of life is slower, there's a lot of space, and it's cheaper than good ol' uncle sam across the border.
but how does this relate to UBC, you ask? well. because film companies happen to like the area outside our koerner library a lot.
for one, some weeks ago i told you i saw tom welling right?

that's coz they were filming an episode of smallville here. and yes, tt is him. and yes, he is a hunk.
and for another, right now they're filming a movie called '88 minutes' here.
and al pacino is in tt movie.

so how often is it tt you can go around and tell your friends: "omigod. i just saw al pacino today?"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
in other news. i just love deathcab for cutie. i am so absolutely peeved tt their concerts have all sold out, not just in vancouver, not just in canda, but also in the states.
but it's no surprise i guess. deathcab songs read like poetry. you could just sit there and listen to ben gibbard forever.
music is my life. i would die without it, i swear.
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
