You Want to Know What the best Feeling in the World is...

...It's handing in your last Maths Assignment for the semester. Yayness! I handed in it, and re-handed in my third Maths assignment (because I kinda-sorta *cough* failed *cough* that one, and they needed to duble check the marking.) Now all I have to do is that essay (due in two weeks) and study for all the freaking exams. Nice.

Oh, and I heard from my Mum today. Her America trip apparently is going ahead. That list of American stuff I want will need to be properly worked out then. Hmmm...

So instead of anything party-like, I shall be seeing her on my birthday (This Saturday, if you were wondering). Maybe I can convince her to take me to see Star Wars again. *hints at Mum*

On the subject of Star Wars, read this. I found it highly amusing. Oh, the things that people do...

Random Quotes:

The First (and ONLY) one from my Maths Lecturer:
"I'm not supposed to touch this. So, I am..."

ephant: "Sign up for Homosexuality here!"

From some historical guy in 1856:
"It is as good a decapitated gum tree as I have ever seen."

On the last one - WTF?

What did the Maths Lecturer touch, out of curiousity?

I've got a couple of exams coming up as well - well, it's Chemistry, really, then the GAT, and possibly the UMAT.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

It's not as wrong as it sounded - she was touching the survey about her performance that she wasn't supposed to look at.

Have fun with your exams

BTW, it was this Sunday you were at Melb Uni, right?

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Yes, I shall be at Melb Uni this Sunday, the 29th of May, in the Redmond Barry Building, in the room near the Coke machine, at roughly 12.45pm. (Now that's specific...)

But I'll only be there for half an hour or so.

In other matters, do you happen to know what colour the M&Ms are at the moment? I saw the end of a Star Wars-themed ad for them, and it looked like they were black and white, which seems weird.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Meh. Well then, I may see you on Sunday then, as I don't seem to have anything on - unless you count that damn essay.

And I have no idea about the M&Ms. But now you are giving me cravings...

Speaking of chocolates, my parents brought back some Crunchies from NZ - they taste better over there.

They're also described on the packet as "Golden hokey pokey covered in Cadbury chocolate".

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

"Hokey pokey"? Like the song?

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Yes, they have an interesting device that turns sound into food.

Either that, or it's their word for honeycomb, as you may notice at the "New Zealand Ice Cream" shops.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I want a device that turns sound into food! It would be so cool!

I wonder what things would actually taste like.
I mean, to take a very Star Wars song, what would The Imperial March taste like?

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Chilled, rich, and slightly chewy, I guess.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

What, like a really rich chocolate mudcake?

Mmmm, Imperial March...

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Just picture it - a chocolate cake in one of those spinning cake stands, spinning around to the Imperial March...

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Wicked! I want one!

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah - back to the topic of Star Wars, I saw this today:

http://www.books-on-line.com/bol/BookDisplay.cfm?BookNum=19884
It's some of the draft scripts of A New Hope, apparently.

I'll be seeing Ep3 on Saturday - after I get back from Basketball. We're playing against Geelong.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I've seen some of those draft scripts, but it's intriguing how very different the original concepts were to the actual film...

And good luck for your basketball! Oh, and then have fun with Episode Three.

[ephant.livejournal.com]

Weee! I am famous :)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Don't you feel special...

[ephant.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I do.

I got quoted :D :D

and without context it is even funnier than it was at the time ;)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

You should see my collection of quote files. Lots of funniness, and without context it all seems incredibly random.

[aeque.livejournal.com]

We'll need luck.

And I realise you might watch it soon, but here's a link anyway - for the Star Wars Gangsta Rap: http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/gangsta_rap

Pretty funny - especially Yoda...
"I'll mold ya, then fold ya;
I thought I told ya,
Don't be unwise; judge me not by my size;
You won't believe your eyes, watch the X-Wing rise."

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

*thinks of a suitably Star Wars quote on luck, but chooses not to share it*

Ooh, linkies!

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Luck and Star Wars?

I can only think of the scene prior to the pod race.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Dear me...think Episode 4. It shouldn't be that hard...

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Uh... when the ugly red R2 unit blows up?

Or when he hits the Death Star's weak spot?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

No, no...I'll give you a hint - It was said by Obi-Wan.

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Jedi make their own luck?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Dear Lord, boy, think about it!

[aeque.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm clueless.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

*is exasperated*

Okay then. the quote is:
"In my experience, there's no such thing as luck."

[aeque.livejournal.com]

It rings a bell, I think.

Did Han say it?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Obi-Wan said it. Though it was to Han. (It was Luke was doing the defendy thing with the lightsabre against the floaty zappy ball. Han goes, "I say it's luck." and Obi-Wan responds.)
