Muffins, muffins and more muffins!

High on home made carrot muffins !!!
... too high to carry out a meaningful conversation ...
... high enough to laugh at anything ...

Muffins remind me of that song from the show called 30 Rock!!
The song's called 'Muffin Top'. I found out that there are such bakeware as a muffin top pan!I always thought that you just plop the muffin mix onto a cookie sheet ... shows how much i know! Pre mixed muffin mix tastes funky, especially the banana flavour from a company that i cant quite remember, it tastes like someone dumped banada flavoured pixie stick candy into the muffin mix ... urgh muffins sick... bad after taste!!! Took a photo of the freshly baked muffins, but didnt notice how much funk was in the oven ... eww ...

Anyways, here's the song (mostly audio)of Muffin Top from 30 Rock.
FYI NSFW (not safe for work) too much weird moaning sounds even though the song is technically about muffins.
I would of uploaded the actual video but i have no clue how youtube or copyrights work...



And here are the lyrics of Muffin Top, for the sake of it! The hilarity!

Everyone knows the most delicious part of the muffin is the top

My muffin top is all that
Whole-grain, low-fat
I know you wanna piece of that
But I just wanna dance
Check checkin' out my sweet hips
My sugar-coated berry lips
I know you wanna get with this
But I'm just here to dance

So back up off of me
You're weirding me out
I'm an independent lady
So do not try to play me
I run a tidy bakery
The boys all want my cake for free
If you can't shake your fakery
Then kiss my muffin top


Lyrics from http://lyricwiki.org/30_Rock:Muffin_Top

Ahhhh, the word 'muffins' doesnt look right anymore, looks like profanity!!!I wanted to made banana muffins, but bought carrots instead ...

Gosh, when this muffin sugar high wears off, im gonna either regret writing the word muffin soo many times, or think i spelled the word muffin wrong ...

Argh, 'muffins' now look like a dirty word ....
Gonna make egg tarts tomorrow to share with L & K, hopefully blogging about egg tarts is least disurbing than the word muffin ...

WIPE OUT!!!

Was suppose to write something elaborate about school, this week in tv, and the movie i watched on friday, but wanna finish all reading for the week so i have a little free time everyday to prep for exams which is about exactly 1 month away. Finished reading sociology readings, learned relationship between race & widowhood, and how your network and the roles you play in society can help you battle influenza. I hope i interpreted those right ... In the middle of reading Leases chapter for accounting. Need to read article for upcoming essay and catch up on law readings.

Went grocery shopping, didn't watch road for cracks, wiped out. Left knee semi- swollen, hurt like a b*tch in the first 10 minutes, but slowly became an annoyance rather than pain. Also, my left knee is the the 'funky knee' beciase it seems like the bone extended a little to far, so when my knees are bent 90 degrees, you can see a little abnormities comparing left and right. Meh, its okay, I'm assymetrical anyways. Big ass bruise on the right side of leg. Hopefully i will learn from my mistakes and ride over those annoying mini speed-bumps rather thn go through the gap of the middle. Should i blame my recklessness on the liquor filled Grand Marnier chocolates i had? I swear it says artificial flavouring ... I much prefer those Malibu chocolates instead ...

BEWARE - SOMEWHAT SPOILER ALERT ... OR MAYBE NOT
Madagascar was pretty good, mostly because of the viewing experience, people were either in school or at work, so theatre was nice and empty, and popcorn was good, especially the fact that i didnt have lunch yet, and it wasnt all oily and nasty. Owww, the beginning where they show the Dreamworks logo was hilarious! Would draw a picture, dont feel like it today ... will push it to Tuesday or something. The beginning few minutes of the movie was soo sad ... For some reason, Madagascar reminded me of the Indiana Jones franchise. I think my favourite part are the penguins! Them and their evil schemes. Skipper (head penguin) could of done better at the end! I have lost a little respect and credibility of him, unless someone can convince me otherwise. Did you know that they have the Penguins of Madagascar cartoon in the works? If i can recall, they are going to show it in January 2009 on Nick (elodeon)? But, i think they changed the voice actors from the movie, so it might sound different. I dont have cable (or wanna announce i wanna watch a kids channel) but i would definately watch it va internet or wherever possible. Argh, that old lady that beat up Alex the Lion is back, she's a whole different evil. Try to guess the actor that portrays the new chaaracters, you'd be pleasantly surprised on how wrong you can be!
Still wanna watch RocknRolla, Rachel Geting Married and now Marley and Me out on Christmas (oww, Jennifer Aniston will be on 30 Rock this week!).

Didn't watch any new tv recently except 30 Rock because its the only show i like thats on one of 'my channels', but its usually reruns and such. Much catch up on Pushing Daisies and Private Practice. Dont really watch Grey's Anatomy anymore, but still wondering why the actor that plays Dr. Hanh isn't on the show anymore? Rumour is they wanna tone down the 'lez scenes', but if they dont do it, wouldnt some other channel do it for the ratings? Meh, never got the tv biz.

Hope y'all have a good week! Dont worry, the weekend is only a few short days away!

Studying on Saturday ... check!

That's all i did today, so this post is gonna be pretty short ... unless you want me to regurgitate everything i studies for, which would be a benefit for me, but pretty boring to the readers.

Studied from 11am to 10 pm, with occassional breaks in between.

After 10pm is my break, i'm done for the day, well, the day is almost done too! Wonder how that extra hour from daylight savings is gonna benefit me? More studying perhaps? Or more TV time?

I read online that King of the Hill (FOX) is getting cancelled ... aww I'm gonna miss that show, because it's a filler till the next show starts, and occasionally i find it funny, especially their Laos neighbours calling them hillbillies! Ohh, good news is that Kath and Kim (NBC) has been picked up for a full season! I think its funny, despite its mediocre reviews.

Kenny vs. Spenny was showing on GlobalTV, and i think it's filmed in Toronto. Man, those two are brutal to each other, but entertaining none of the less when they have the humiliation portion. Spenny literally washed Kenny's mouth with soap! I'm starting to love mindless tv, less thinking, more laughing!

MadTV is doing a skit of I Love Lucy 2008, where they're house is going to foreclose, and Lucy and her friend had to sell their bodies to pay, until the government stepped in ...

Saturday Night Live is on, must watch!

Oh yeah, and i mentioned a few posts ago that Saturday Night Live did a skit of the Two A-Holes. Heres a screenshot, Mad Men style pitching hola hoop with suspenders! Oh the fun you will have, no more struggling to keep the hoop up, less back pain, and reduce of awkwardness!!!

Good Ol’ Fashion Halloween! Simpson’s Style

Experimenting with different programs for blogging ...

Weather's getting very funky this week. It was below zero on Wednesday, and today it's in the mid teens. I dunno what kinda trick nature has up it's sleeve, but i for one am not amused.


Argh... in 3 weeks time, both of my pedals from my bike broke off. Darn cheap made in china crap. Installed two new ones, hope there weren't the same quality as my last ones... My mom used her bike for almost 4+ years and nothing bad happened except the occasional flat tire and worn brakes. My pedals didn't even last 5 months!


WARNING, this post is extremely full of pics, so it can take a while to load for those with below – broadband connections...


Just finished watching Martha Stewart on CBC. I think she was advertising a really cool innovation from M&M where you can personalize those little sugary goodness with your own photo and message. Looks pretty pricey, but overall a really cool gift!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween! I wouldn't be treat o' treating for many reason, but I can guarantee I will get a sugar rush!

It's finally Wednesday!



At the library, must kill 4 hrs before next lecture starts. The library started to have these designated areas to do stuff ie group study, cell phone talk, total silence. Eww, someone left their medication/perscription on top of the desk, it would be funny if light was shining on it, in an angelic fashion, signalling it's greatness ... Ahhhh, drugs too close, i need parental control!!! Yes, my imagination has gotten outta control. Just in case, i blotted out the name of the person that the pills belong to... for legal reasons (ie not wanting to get sued). I like being here @ UTM rather than St. George ... it's kinda the middle of nowhere here, no distractions, no 'shiny objects'. Every course i took at St. George, after lecture, i'd be like 'oww, where can i go now to entertain myself/forget about what i learned?' But it was never a problem because all the classes i took downtown was my last class of the week! The major disadvantage.. travel ... Got up @ 5:30 (i sleep late too .. due to those darm neighbours upstairs) and leave the house around 6 ish, ride my bike to catch shuttle bus that departs at 7ish to get to an 8 ish class. Soo tired when i get on bus, but the time before and after the bus, i feel like i was on caffeine ... Which isn't true ... Oww, i got a Grande Hazelnut Hot Chocolate from Starbucks ... so use to crappy and very sugar based hot chocolate from other places ie Tim Hortons and Coffee Time, that i never knew that hot chocolate can actually taste good! In the past, i'd use to water down the tim hortons hot chocolate so i wouldnt get that 'im drink pure sugar powder' after taste. But I do like those smoothies from Tim Hortons ... but cant really taste the flavour ...

Mood finally elevating to a point of happiness due to the fact that its Wednesday! I like Wednesday because a. i have Business Law and Eco class that day and i enjoy them both and b. it means that tomorrow is Thursday, which means social network analysis lecture and after that ... free time! Well, not free time, study.. but at least not at school :) Did a good job on my Business Law midterm, but cant say the same about my finger . It got a massive papercut from skimming my marked midterm ... its not one of those painful, throbbing ones (argh i hate those ones ... and from opinion, everyone else hates them too), but it's a bleeder.... its a bleeder alright! And it left a big gash on it too. Its on the middle finger too! At least its not on my writing hand .... I think its time for show and tell! Don't worry, will not show/draw details.

I was quite surprised that I didn't see snow on the ground this morning, it kinda flurried, but not actual snow on ground. But i see cars driving with snow all over, wonder where they came from. Maybe it didnt snow where i lived, on the west end of Toronto Central/Centre/Downtown ... I cant distinguish them ... I tried looking up via google, but i came across this website and it talked about travel by bike and it quotes,

"Be advised that Toronto is considered a very dangerous city to bike in by many people, and accidents are frequent. "

Thats great to know, considering there are designated bike lanes, tons of people biking to and fro, and the fact that they want people to find better alternatives than driving ...

Argh, sometimes motorists make me mad, speaking as both a pedestrian and a cyclist.
I will NOT rant about them YET, they HAVE pushed me to the limit on some occassions, but, until they exceed that limit, i will keep it bottled up until some inappropriate time when it all spills out :) At least that would be entertaining for the observers.

Got about 3hrs remaining to kill time ... wanna get a pumpkin to carve jack-o-lantern ... then place jack-o-lantern in front of upstair neighbours doorstep so children can bother them ... just like how they bother me ....

By the time i finish this (with email distractions) i have almost killed 2 hrs! 2 more to go! Starting to study canadian economic history!

Happy Wednesday!

Waiting for the shuttle bus ...

Dark and breezy. Financial accounting lecture just ended. Got my mid term back, did horribly ... no more further comments, must look ahead for improvements, must get better results. Must reach for top ... or somewhere close to top isn't a bad option either!

More midterms coming up, not stressed yet, but drowning on papers/notes, all profs make everything seem to be on the test, but never mentioned it ... should i study for it?

Looking forward to winter break! Almost 1 month-ish away! Argh ... exams! Meh, only 2, shouldn't be that bad, but kinda back-to-back...

Have 2 midterms next week, canadian economic history and social network analysis ...
When will this madness ever end ... apparently not ...

Next week, students rally at queens park, i think, to fight tuition fees ... U of T board wants all university students to pay deregulated fees ... Too late for me, already stuck in this fiasco ... Probably wouldn't effect me that much ... 1 can hope.

Rode bike to school, locked bike, chunky squirrel started to circle me and my bike, awaiting food. Must of saw my profile photo on Facebook, or his relatives from the west coast told them about me (i wonder how that would work?) Rushing like maniac to catch the bus ... didn't have time to feed, plus might look crazy ... is that karma driven? Will i ask someone for food and be denied/rejected?

Gosh. I hope not ... That would be a weird situation that i have gotten myself into ...
Must wait beside shuttle bus now to ensure a seat. Feel pretty bad for the people who couldn't get a seat ... they get left behind ...

Missing Dancing with the stars, like always, I wonder if that old lady that won the oscar got booted out yet....

Last minute bloggin' ...

Just finished watching Brothers & Sisters, wondering where the show takes place .... too lazy to wiki or google it, it will remain a mystery until the next episode when i remember this question. Watching the news is always a bummer, so many things that happen that you'd wish hasn't, wondered if there was ever a day that didn't bring bad news... that would be a very short broadcast or a lot of fillers ...
The weather in the past few days are soo depressing, especially the wind (although refreshing, not a really good advantage to a cyclists when the wind' s working against you) and the rain. I finally installed a fender on my chinese manufactured bike, no more soakings, now my notes are moisture free! Wish i can get a new bike ... very bulky mountain, not enough speed ... I was reluctant of speed when i started to bike, now i crave it!!!
Spent most of the day writting notes for accounting, all i can think of are intangible assets and impairment, not separately, but mixed together in a way which would not make sense. Hopefully (maybe) it would all make sense tomorrow.
Argh, I hate mondays, just like Garfield and Sourpuss from the comic strip Mutts. My mondays at school always sucked since 1st year. Tomorrow I will be at school from 2-8, which means leaving the house @ 12.30 and getting home at 9.45.

Owww, got re-addicted to those candy sticks!!! Wanted a sugar fix, went to dufferin mall. Walmart doesnt have those candy sticks anymore (or im pretty blind) but No Frills had it, which i found surprising! I use to love these sugary sticks while in elementary school, and now that addiction has surfaced yet again! As you can see, the sugar high is giving me the energy to type this, plus i want to write something everyday... Just in case you think i'm pleading insanity, i a talking about those chalk-like candy sticks that looks like a kid's version of a cig (id spell the whole word, but i can't). Its usually in a square package with Popeye's funky face on the front.



Police Officer Brian is not amuzed.
These candy sticks were pimped out with Spiderman.
Argh, they look like cigs!
Was very bored, heard obnoxious noise outside, it was a little baby squirrel, screeching for it's mother at the top of a power-line pole.


Saw alley cat starting at something, had to take a shot, unlike my old neighbourhood, this one had less alley cats.

So full of attention, like something shiny caught it's eye, or food, either way.
Don't worry, its not spying on the lil' squirrel!
Ahh, laptop burning thigh...
Sugar high still in effect, will watch reruns of Frasier!

How I spent my Saturday ....

Semi studying, reading class work, eating/searching for food, watching television and plotting schemes against my neighbours ... err... scratch that last bit. After hours of losing my mind and vision, i usually flood it with television ... ahhh, sweet television. Our home isnt equipped with any tv enhancments, so i'm stuck with basic antenna signals... which sucks because all the shows i want to watch aren't showing on tv anymore, and had to resort to the WWW. I think the only shows i look forward to watching via tv is dancing with the stars (just for the judge's comments), law and order special victims unit, brothers & sisters, saturday night live/madtv (if there's good guests), and sunday night cartoons (simpsons, american dad, family guy and king of the hill). All the other shows i enjoy (30 rock, my name is earl, private practice, pushing daisies etc) are not in 'my channels' range, which suck.

What am i watching right now at this moment? 'Two A-Holes' skit, Mad Men style on Saturday Night Live ft. Jon Hamm. lol, that skit is soo hilarious and weird, must find screenshot for that later on...

Anyways, the highlights of my favourite/available tv shows:
Saturday Night Live (NBC) - Weekend Update Thursday Episode 3:
McCain (Hammond), Palin (Fey) and Bush (Ferrell) at a press conference/photoshoot.


30 Rock (NBC) - Pre-air Season 3-01
Jack (Baldwin) and Liz (Fey) renact a scene from a soap opera.
The Simpsons (FOX) - Season 20-3
In the world of the Simpsons, where the rich live in McMansions and anything Mc ...

McDreamy would live beside a McDonalds....

And McSteamy would live next door to McDreamy ...
Argh ... my television viewing is interrupted by my loud, upstair neighbours ... actually, anything i do gets interrupted by my upstair neighbours .. there is never silence at home ....
Must scheme .... argh, everyday it seems like their either VERY into Feng Shui 風水, constantly moving their funiture around, rehersing for a dance routine/broadway performace (STOMP comes into mind), or moving things around so that their very vocal dog can use the house as a racetrack, pretty much 24/7 ... either way... something must be done...
Argh, always had some evil plan in the back of my head to get them for their noise....
Like ringing their doorbell and dashing, or carving a jack-o-lantern and putting it in front of their door so little children can bother/egg their door...
But i'm not the one who creates trouble, caught in the crossfire yes, but not the source...
And taking business law, I was wondering if i can sue them for nuisance? I mean, what they are doing is disrupting my enjoyment of life, whether its studying for a test, or sleeping! Hmm, maybe should look into this further... Owwww, or leaving their dog at home, constantly barking, thats somewhat bad treatment to animals ... thats something that the authorities might need to know about!
Forgive my evil-ness, i think i was highly influences by a higher authority.... And if you're out there reading this, 'Captain, the plan is going right on schedule!'
Owww, the evilness from upstairs has stepped out to walk that pet of theirs. Must try to enjoy the peacefulness before they return once again.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
