The Corporation is finally playing at theatres across the country. I've been raving about this Canadian documentary ever since I saw it at an advance screening last year. If you thought Bowling for Columbine was good, you'll really enjoy The Corporation. Well made documentaries are always so entertaining.

Wow that sounds so geeky.

Meh. Whatever. Just go watch it, will yah? Not only is it educational and thought provoking, but it's also a fairly long-ass movie. So if you like to calculate your movie ticket dollar value on the amount of time spent in the theatre, you'll be satisfied cuz you get good value for your money.

Of course when I watched it, I had also promised friends at another theatre that I'd watch Matrix 3 (another long-ass movie) with them right afterwards. Man...that was a lot of movie sitting time. My butt felt so sore from sitting so long it felt like it had been beaten by a bunch of overzealous Singaporean wrestlers with sacks full of durian.

Not that I would know how that feels like. But you know what I mean.

So after being sick for nearly a week, my parents bought me a thermos bottle so I could take hot tea to school in the mornings. I had insisted that I could go buy one for myself, but they countered that I was too sick to be motoring around town to find a nice thermos. So off they went while I resumed driving the porcelain bus (puking).

An hour later they came back with a shiny new thermos in hand. Now, normally an ordinary thermos wouldn't be comment worthy other than to say that it keeps the liquid contents fantastically and deliciously warm. This one has rather fancy ON/OFF buttons to stop and resume the flow of liquid. But seriously, who cares?

Well. Three words. Hot pink accents.

Yes that's right. Whereas most thermos are strictly dressed in black and stainless, this thermos looks like Carson Kressley from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy designed it. I don't know how/where/why my parents managed to buy a thermos with hot pink accents. I mean where in the world?!?! Sigh. But they did. Apparently it was last one at the store. Uh huh. I'm sure they had to pull off the bodies of all the clamoring men trying to buy the last thermos in the store with hot pink accents. Rrrrright.

So I took it to school the other day. This was the typical conversation in the hallways:

My friend: "Dude you're so metro. You've got a pink thermos."
Me: "Shuddap. It takes a real man to pull off the hot pink."
My friend: "And right now you're not doing so well."
Me: "Grrrrr."

As if being teased back in elementary school wasn't enough. Now I have to get teased by all the kids in law school. Blah.

Once around the sun. Irony has me writing here again exactly one year since I last wrote. Not sure why I just stopped writing. Well actually that's not true. There were thousands of reasons I suppose. Most of them relating to the lack of time. But instead of deleting the entire site as I was thinking of doing, I just let it be. Hoping that one day I'd come back to my site to write again.

A lot has transpired in the past year. It was a year filled with good memories. Amazing, beautiful, crazy, happy, estatic and inspiring memories. It also had its share of sadder times. I've learned a lot. And hopefully I'm a wiser and better person because of it all.

So here I am. Back to write.
