ooh...this GNC test is pretty cool. it tries to evalute your lifestyle and see whether you have any risk factors and calculates your BMI and such.

as for my results, it seems i'm fairly healthy except for the (very) occasional underage alcohol use and well...below average activity level. yeah, that means i need to get off my butt and move around more. ugh. i'm just so lazy! exercise is all right once i get going, but it's the whole starting part that's a bit tough for me. i mean, you have to first decide to exercise, put on work-out clothes, actually go and flail around and sweat, then you're all dirty and stinky...bleh. so much trouble.

too bad working in a lab doesn't give me much of a workout. i probably have strong thumb muscles from all that pipetting, but that's about it.

"i never had the propensity to work, breed, and die." ~stroke 9, tail of the sun

true...but i'll probably end up doing that anyway. need to pass on my genes, assure them of survival...and death is guaranteed. there's more than just the above to life though, right? that's what we like to think, and i like to think there is: the love that comes from breeding, the sense of satisfaction and success that comes from work, a final peace that comes with death after you've accomplished all you have--the view and visitors along the way.

sorry, that line just sort of stuck in my head when i was listening to that song. i'm getting all cheesy and crap. bleh.

in other news, two mice bit my fingers today. once again, this further demonstrates the innate unfairness of life. i actually like and empathize with the mice while my cousin hates them with a vengeance and treats them roughly (spun one's head into the side of a cage today), but who gets bitten? me. i've only been working with them for less than two months while my cousin has been working with mice for over two years--i've been bitten three times, and he may have been bitten once. ugh. ungrateful rodents. i still think they can be cute though. must be that whole "small, furry things are always cute" mindset that a lot of people seem to suffer from.

wow time just seems to fly these days.

slowly, things are...developing. curious.

i've been watching a lot of movies recently:

austin powers 3--hilarious if you're not expecting refined humor. "you are a cunning linguist." "no, i'm a master debater!" =D

signs--interesting. kept trying to second-guess the movie...great direction and acting, i can see that some people would be disappointed with the story though. just depends on the type of person you are...and don't go in expecting a scare-fest although these annoying teenage girls screamed at EVERYTHING. what a pisser. anyway, i thought of it as more of a movie about family and religion in...interesting circumstances.

zoolander--hehehe. love ben stiller. so much silliness. can't go into this one expecting sophisticated humor either. i just love laughing though. lordy, gasoline fights. great aspect: reminded me that tyson beckford is HOT--
...sorry had to wipe up some drool. ;-)

master of disguise--umm. definitely silly, but core audience has not hit puberty yet. which is why brandon liked it. =) geez, the only time he's willing to be seen with me in public is when i take him out to a movie. ah well. i still can't help saying, "turtle-turtle!" every now and then though =X

one of my older cousins loves to "discuss"--makes me tired afterward. it's like entering combat with him even though none of it is hostile at all--just tiring. must argue and play devil's advocate with everything we say to each other. talking with most of my other friends is so relaxing in comparison. thanks for that because otherwise i'd feel as if i were working all the time. sometimes you just need a conversation to be pleasant. well, with me it's either that or jokingly hostile. all you people i insult, i assure you, it's only out of love. ;-)
