Claud:
Lysis means 'breaking' - Matin told me today, because he knows what photolysis means. Which means that 'Lysistrata' sort of means breaking barriers (strata, like social strata, segregation, etc). It was like an epiphany! Very cool, innit?

Incidentally, Matin the triple-scientist was trying to convince me that we're accelerating towards the centre of the earth becasue of the circular motion of the earth. It frankly freaks me out, and it has firmly reaffirmed my belief that science makes no sense!

I just watched Calendar Girls with Hadri & Mike & Matin & Benuel & Shirin. Watned to watch Troy, but Ben and Shirin are watching that with 1B tomorrow, so I'm going to join the girls in my class tomorrow for Troy, because I MUST watch that movie. It looks so golden-godly! Hadri might join us - he'll be the odd one out: the girl from another class. (Hadri if you read this: I'm kidding! Do not kill me, if you take offence, which I doubt you will so I hope my doubt is right.)
Anyhow, Calendar Girls was pretty good! Really funny, and I think more older women should go watch it. It's a bit Lysistrata-ly rebellious, with the whole female empowerment thing going on, so pretty good preparation for the auditions tomorrow.

Which reminds me:
Again, Lysistrata auditions
9-12 am, LT 3, bring a monologue that's about a minute long.

The SYF was pretty good. I think OzeroO1 was really really fantastic today, which frankly was sort of unprecedented. It was the best of the four today, although the NJC one was well-acted and really feel-good. But ours had the most impact, IMO.

And then it was off to Zara, with Hadri and Matin terribly excited about going there. Unfortunately the salesguy refused to let me take a picture of Matin in a really nice brown leather jacket, and he was continually frowning in our direction after that. We were unable to convince Benuel to try out this really cooldude blue striped shirt with a weird flower painting on it. The men's section had a lot of very cool resort-type clothes. Like totally hot men in a Cancun resort type. Only no hot Mexican men in sight.
Stupid Shirin didn't buy her skirt, and I felt fat as usual, and there's this really chic black mini that I covet. Maybe Shirin'll buy it. But it's pretty pricey for a really small skirt, and actually I'd rather buy tops because it's so much better to have millions of tops and a few good bottoms. Zara's got some nice tops. Their polos are nice, I might buy one. And they're half the price of Ralph Lauren polos, while the fit is just as good. Even if the colour isn't so cool, and having a polo player logo is cooler than an unrecognisable Zara logo.

Hmm. Must make K shop for me in Spain. Maybe give her a Zara/Mango shopping list. Yay! I think Topshop in London is more expensive than Singapore, on the other hand, if I remember Daph's comparison correctly.

This morning I woke up and decided that I would go to school late, so I told my mom and told Poorna to go ahead without me, and went back to sleep, meaning to wake up at 730. And the next thing I know, it's 830. So I decided I might as well just go in time for the end of Hist lecture. So I lazed around a bit, and went at 1030. Bought tickets for OddCouple, showed off the RJ guys to Dawn&Xuan&Bernie, and probably got spotted showing Rosebud to Dawn! How embarrassing.

Anyway, tonight I have to prepare the set pieces for Lysistrata auditions.
I have a headache!

Does anyone know what it is about the TVMobile?? It's impossible not to watch it, however annoying the show is. Even if it's in Chinese, my eyes keep getting drawn to it. There's something fishy.

There was other stuff I wanted to blog, but I cannot remember.
Ta!
