the hiatus is over - until the next one!

let's see now... earlier this week i received a contract for a room @ UW Place after someone cancelled. so on wed. i used Priority Courier for next-day-by-noon delivery expecting (the signed contract w/ deposit) to be received by UW's housing admin before the fri. 4:30pm deadline. i checked all day y'day and today it says it's back in some mississauga location - WTF, WTF?!

about that Raptors trade - great stuff - i liked getting Donyell as i think he's very underrated and his 1st 3 games so far just prove how good he is given the opp. poor T-mac tho - that's #18 in a row and counting - i read earlier that he wouldn't mind coming back to play w/ his second cousin here in TO and w/ jalen's fat contract, a trade is possible... hey, it's a dream all right

watched Last Samurai last night and it was a good movie; it would've been better if it didn't have the usual hollywood ending to it and there was a lot of blue screen and CG f/x in the movie which IMO degraded the film's quality... also saw Timeline and Matrix Revolutions (finally) tonight - the former was another terrible medieval film on par w/ the Musketeer; the latter was all right until the ending

last Sat. i went to a "Pinoy Christmas Party" for coworkers and it was held at a coworker's new duplex home way over in mississauga - the filipino food was great and it was interesting seeing my coworkers being more relaxed & not being "at work" - overall it was a decent gathering consisting of food&drink, laughs, karaoke (not me!), and talking - just wish i had brought a smaller bottle of Kahlua or just wine instead
