Moxy Fruvous - The Drinking Song

And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

Hmm, I really should get to bed. But I digress, I don't want to yet.

The other thing I was going to write about last night, was primarily that I cooked dessert (apple tart) but recived not a word of thanks from anybody in my family for it. All I got were compliants, and there was nothing wrong with it this time. My brother cooked dinner, and he only got complianed at as well, but at least he was thanked for making dinner, even tho he screwed it up and didn't think. Argh!

Today, I went up to SFU this morning, to try and pay my tuition, only to find that they don't take credit card. In today's day and age, the SFU Cashiers do not take credit card. WTF is going on? At TechBC last year, they took credit card for payment, and we were told that the same options were available to us this year. Somebody is not on the level here. So it was a wasted trip up the mountain with my father, including waiting 20 minutes for a parking space in the visitors lot.

After that, we took my aunt to the airport, as she was flying back to South Africa today. She gave me a gift, that she and my maternal grandmother collected together from around the world. A big pile of second hand E.E. 'Doc' Smith books! I am now only a few books short of the ones that he wrote totally on his own, plus there are another 10-15 books that he co-authored that I want to look for. I have the complete Lensman series now, which was the pinnicle of his work. 1920-30's Sci-fi rocks!

I got back from the airport a bit after 3pm, and saw a message from Brittney about the TechBC Learner Assoication. I rushed to a 4pm meeting at TechBC about it. Thank g0d for the new skytrain! Basically we discussed about what was going to happen. So far, we are hoping to create a seperate Campus Student Society at TechBC, in line with the policies of the SFSS. I've basically unofficially volunteered to run for the position involving technical liason with IS/eLINC and lead the computer technical side of the LA with my existing knowledge. Micheal Brolich even introduced me as the resident computer genius to everybody at the meeting. It was attended by lots of TechTwos, a few TechThrees/Fours and a single TechOne. I've got a meeting tommorow, and an even bigger meeting on Monday related to tommorow's meeting, with some politicians. A fair bit of money is in it for me and the group i'm with depending on the outcome of Monday's meeting.

I'm heading to bed now. As you may have noticed, I'm trying to keep more of a daily log of life on LiveJournal now. It might bore some people, but I want to be able to look back at it myself.

Hmm, I need more music by this guy. It is incredibly relaxing and wonderful music. I have "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" soundtrack, which he also did, but I should find more, as it is really good music. Marissa (amethest) likes music by the composer Thomas Newman, and now I have found a good composer that I like as well. I'm gonna go past Metrotown tommorow and see what CD's they have by him. And maybe actually buy some (the horror!, I'm actually buying a CD!).

But the music is really is really nice.
