Some Updates + Orientation Odyssey Night 2008: A Short Pre-Post
I just came back from our (rival? haha) college event Orientation Odyssey Night. Their team did a good job setting up the event, including a fairly nice stage and all. I won't say my opinions on the event here yet, because I usually like to dress my posts up with a lot of photos and videos.
You won't be seeing any videos or photos of performances on the next post - there aren't any! Plain and simple. There are, however, a crapload of post-event photography. We're all worse than socialites at a restaurant opening.
OO Nite '08 is, however, memorable for two things. One was the fact that today was my maiden solo drive. The parents, bless 'em, let me drive on my own to college for OO Nite. Seroja was having her birthday party which I had to leave early for, and the family were all at home, so they let me take the BMW out. Thank God. This is a very major step for me. I was nervous and all, but now that I've survived and made it safely back - multiple trips no less - I'm a lot more confident about driving alone.
Second thing it's memorable for - Julia performed! As part of a band called Impromptu (am I getting the exact spelling correct? Or are they spelling it funny the way young people now like to do, like Impromp2 or something?) with Kieran, Bryan, and local college emcee legends Samson and Martin, Julia did pretty neat. I finally saw her rap on stage. I won't disclose on my full opinions on her performance until a bit later, mind.
So there aren't pictures. Is there anything I can provide?
Nope, there's nothing. Will you wait a day or something so I can post the many photos of myself and many people? Mucho thanks to Sarah for the liberal lending of her camera to me (for those photo-frenzied thirty minutes or so after the event).

Movies I've been watching?
I watched two excellent ones - Hot Fuzz and Hard Candy. Two extremely dissimilar films, but tremendously excellent. Hot Fuzz is one of the funniest movies I've ever watched. Hard Candy was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever watched. And torturous too. Once you watch it you'll understand. I love Ellen Page, even if she's kinda scary, yes.
