Firstly, I applied to be an OGL. Who knows what'll happen if I do get it.

School pretty much seems like a drag these few days. I guess it comes with not taking 8 subjects. Lessons become tedious. Seems like we're seeing the same few people everyday. Oh well. The class is really funny though. Gonna take physics if the option opens up after 3 months, provided a) I get less than 20 points, b) I do well enough to warrant 4 subs and c) I think I can take it like a man.

Well, as it turns out, Andrew and Ian have become addicted to nail buffing. In addition, Andrew carries a mirror around all the time. And some VS secrets divulged have led girls to (not ungroundedly) believe that Andrew is more feminine than meets the eye. Not a bad thing.
Also, Ian did something to Azlyn that unknowingly to him, appeared extremely obscene. Will not say too much here. heh. =)
And, Jeevan is really funny. Not to mention he puts up really compelling arguments that could make me believe anything. It could be just because he's funny though. Asking questions out of nowhere is funny. Stupid, but funny.

Spider-Man creator Stan Lee is to get a multi-million dollar windfall after winning a court battle with comic book company Marvel.
A judge has upheld Lee's demand for 10% of Marvel's profits from the hugely successful Spider-Man films.
Spider-Man and its sequel made $1.6bn (£857m) at box offices worldwide.
Of the cut now due to Lee, 82, who created Spider-Man in 1962, his lawyer said: "It could be tens of millions of dollars, that's no exaggeration."
US District Court Judge Robert W Sweet ruled Lee should get a tenth of profits generated since November 1998 by Marvel TV and movie productions involving the company's characters.
Lee took legal action in 2002, saying Marvel shut him out of "jackpot" profits from the first blockbuster film.
Said the company - where he worked for more than 60 years - had gone back on agreement to give him the 10%. As well as Spider-Man, Lee co-created the Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Daredevil and Fantastic Four characters.
He said: "I am gratified by the judge's decision although, since I am deeply fond of Marvel and the people there, I sincerely regret that the situation had to come to this."
The ruling also means he is entitled to a slice of profits from DVD sales and certain merchandise.
Marvel said it would appeal and did not expect the decision to impact on financial forecasts for 2004 and beyond.
The New York court did not rule on Lee's claims to a share of profits from some Spider-Man and Hulk movie merchandise, which will be decided at a future trial, Marvel said.
Gee, you'd think that Marvel of all people would know that Stan Lee awlays wins.

Forced to watch Elektra last week. What can I say. The best part about the movie was that it ended fast. You could almost compare everyone in the movie to a celebrity. There's a villain that looks like Dick Lee(people said this out loud in the cinema), Jennifer Garner looks like Zoe Tay(or Joey Pay, as my econs lecturer says) in some scenes, and the male lead looks like...Roy Keane! For those lost, thing 30-something year old Irish Footballer.
Storyline was crap. So crappy, infact, that I could imagine the director saying 70 minutes into the film saying ," This film must stop before we reach 100!" in a British/Gay accent. Yep, both villains got killed within the last 10 minutes of the film. And the way they died was pretty stupid.
Conclusion: bad film.
