Listening to: "Rainbow Smile" - Cindy WangWhat a week! I had my Biochemistry exam on Wednesday, immediately followed by Protein Lab. Then I had a 2 page response paper on Absalom, Absalom! due Thursday and a 3-5 page paper for Mythologies. Writing the Mythologies paper was kinda fun b/c we got to pick our topics. I wrote about the 7 Gates of the Underworld in Sumerian and Egyptian myth. I really liked reading the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I didn't want it to be due this morning b/c yesterday, they had a student discount night at the ballet. They were performing Dracula, which featured the music of Franz Liszt. I really wanted to go. :(
I'm really glad it's Friday now. However, I've got a lot of work left to do. I'm trying to organize a mini cosplay contest for the anime club during an event that showcases various university activities. Hopefully there will be enough participants.
Recently I got into another Taiwanese drama called Weixiao Pasta (weixiao means smile). It stars Cindy Wang who plays a girl who is cursed to have her relationships end after 3 months. The title refers to a special dish she makes while working at her family's restaurant. After going through a nasty break-up, she accidentally runs into a pop star, played by Nicholas Teo. They're caught on camera in a compromising position (unintentional) so they have to pretend to be dating. The drama also stars Gino from K-One, who always rocks as playing the "cool" guy. It's kinda funny how his character in this can't get over losing his childhood love b/c his character in Zi Jing Zhi Dian experienced something similar. The theme song "Rainbow Smile" is sooo catchy. ^o^
Spell 53: for not eating faeces or drinking urine in the realm of the dead (from The Book of the Dead):
"I am the horned bull who rules the sky, Lord of Celestial Appearings, the Great Illuminator who came forth from the heat, who harnesses the years; the Double Lion is glad, and the movement f the sunshine has been granted to me. I detest what is detestable, I will not eat faeces, I will not drink urine, I will not walk head downward.
"I am the owner of bread in Heliopolis, bread of mine is in the sky with Re, bread of mine is on earth with Geb, and it is the Night-bark and the Day-bark which will bring it to me from the house of the Great God who is in Heliopolis. I am loosed from my windings, I make ready the ferry-boat of the sky, I eat of what they eat, I live on what they live on, I have eaten bread in every pleasant room."
(I remember having fun w/ Gabe, Jared, and Parker w/ crazy spells like this one. Gabe even made this our cold reading for auditions last year.)
I'm hungry for Smile Pasta
