In case anyone hasn't noticed, 7/11 is giving away Coke Zeros.
I claimed mine today and the cashier was like 'Anything else?' and I was like, 'Nope' and then it was kind of awkward. But I got a free drink.

Yay!
Crysis 2 is out! This post was mainly posted because having an emo-looking girl at the top of my blog made me uncomfortable.

MONDAY
I'm not sure why, but I really like this video.
Despite the many cliches, I guess it hit a strong emotional note with me. It's pretty melodramatic but still manages to seem sincere. The song title I don't like though.
Anyway, English today went okay. I thought I wrote quite nicely, though I also thought that of my Belonging essay which turned out to be terrible. However, I had a lot of teacher feedback this time so I hope that shows through.
Studying for chemistry now, though I will try to squeeze in some maths past papers today too. Haven't done much of those this time around.

Some more cool stuff
Firstly, two more guitar recordings by Edwin.
Racer X - Technical Difficulties, guitar solo cover.
Again, there's no video because of technical difficulties. lol.
And some blues funk improvisation.
Finally, here's something I made to practise my editing skills for 4U english (ok, to be honest I was bludging). It's an edit-together of videos of my cousins from my phone camera, with some upbeat jazz music on top. I have appropriately titled it 'Krazy Kids'.
Amazingly this took about 2 hours to make, despite its simplicity. I tried to be as perfectionist as I could in cutting the shots nicely. Personally I think the video's pretty cute, though I'm a bit biased because they're my cousins (and it's my video).

Edwin's Guitar Improv
This is an awesome blues guitar jam that Edwin recorded and sent me.
It is also on Facebook.
It is also Edwin's birthday today. Happy Birthday Edwin!

Making exams fun!!!
Since exams are coming up here are a list of things I thought would make exams fun. Listed by subjects (asian subjects only):
1. Maths: This should be fun anyway but you can set yourself questions by thinking of a shape you want to draw and then finding an equation which will make that shape. E.g. the Dark Knight symbol will involve sideways parabolas, straight lines and upright parabolas. These functions can be piece-wise or if you're really pro you can find a single equation for your shape (still haven't found one for Batman yet).
2. English: This is going to sound irresponsible since these are our HSC exams but who cares? Life's short. Just watch lots and lots of movies and claim it's for English. And you might actually use one as a related! Win-win :)!
3. Physics: Get your mum or dad to get you to build one of these and claim its for physics. Just make sure you don't let them know that they really didn't need to build it. Or actually you could tell them and watch them get super mad. Or just build it yourself.
4. Chemistry: Diet Coke and Mentos and claim it's for chemistry. Try making a rocket and you can claim its also for physics! 2 in 1!
5. Economics: Swim around in a lot of money and claim your studying cash flows in a local area.
Office Quote of the Day: It's going to take a lot more than a bullet to the brain, lungs, heart, back and balls to kill Michael Scarn!
That is all.

Crysis 2
I was planning to write about how much I love the movie Lost In Translation and how analysing/writing essays about it has not turned me off but instead broadened my appreciation of it. But that will have to wait. Yesterday I installed and played the PC multiplayer demo of Crysis 2.
I have been excited about this game for a very, very long time. In fact, in May last year I made a post about it under the scandalous title of 'Technology porn'. Since then, I've probably watched the E3 trailer at least ten times as well as interviews with the Crytek developers. Here's a trailer for the multiplayer:
And a trailer for the single player:
From what I've played on the multiplayer demo, its certainly an amazing game. It's really fast-paced because everyone moves so fast. Fortunately on the demo, everyone's new to the game so you're all exploring out all the features of the game rather than trying to win. Not much else to say really. I'm getting impatient as I type because I really want to get back on.
If anyone feels like installing the multiplayer demo after reading this, you can get from one of the links here. My IGN, as always, is MrLumpy.
