holiday season

This holiday season, I had lots of stuff planned. Well not actually. Most of the things are just coming to my head as I write this but here goes:-
  1. Go around Lahore and eat stuff
  2. Visiting old friends
  3. Work on somehting creative
  4. Do some maintainence on my PC and organization of stuff. The pic below should show the importance of this point
  5. Finish editing of the video that Basim and I worked on, and thinking of a name
  6. Coming up with new video ideas.
  7. Finish work on the earthquake blog, after compiling some of the articles which I wrote.
  8. Thinking of what to do with my life. Something made aware by a person who was made aware by a wise person. Its a long story
  9. Working on my FYP :( now my advisor left GIKI. Now aint that just swell. The say it isnt good bringing home work so I'm going to go to giki sometime in the next couple of days, to get some work done. Hopefully i'll be back before EID.
  10. Praying for my result. I hope that somehow by the Grace of God my GPA is maintained. This is something that I need to do a lot. And I expect all of you ppl to pray for me too.
  11. Doing some artwork of some sort.
  12. Playing some PC games and getting a life. The semesters in which I quit PC games bring my GPA down somehow. I have a couple of bad omens some of which are not playing PC games and getting a haircut. THey both have grave implications with regard to my GPA. Next sem its games, games and games for me. No more extra credits.
  13. Working on the ugX site. Something that I've been delaying since a long long time.
  14. Learning 3D Studio max for my FYP. Nurb modelling. How many of you people need to learn 3D Studio max for your FYP's eh??? My FYP rocks. Even though my advisor ran away :D
  15. Evaluating some admission stuff so that I can apply to Helsinki and Tampere. I missed KTH's deadline because of sheer laziness
  16. Need to find a substitute of the word sheer. I use it so much that its become a cliche.
  17. Continuing Driving lessons. Something that I dont think I'll get onto anytime soon.
  18. Completing this new Flash animation I'm working on called purple haze. Based on Jimi Hendrix'es song and its a total load of crap. I'll be glad to show it to you ppl when its done.
  19. Fininshing the millions of other half completed ideas that basim and I came up with starting from the 1st sem onwards. The movie, all ur girls, star trek the dumber generation are just some of them to begin with. I think I'll go on with Basims idea of doing Star Trek in Flash. It will be a lot more easier to implement over there.
  20. Getting free PHP hosting and launching a site with interactive stuff and all. I mean I love blogger. It is great. It has served me well and will continue to do so undoubtedly but dynamic stuff rocks. Plus I'll be able to put flash and lots of other stuff on it that I cant with blogger.
  21. Watching movies. Something I havent done in a long time. Oh and by the way, I saw constantine yesterday. It was weird but amusing at the same time esp cos it was a movie.
  22. Reminding Khalid to get me back my skipping rope from Karachi. That bloke took it to karachi and left it there during the summer break. Arrgh how I hate some people. You can make fun of me, you can throw me off a 100 story building, heck you can even drive a tractor over me, but when you come between me and my daily skipping routine, it means war.
  23. Oh and I also need to make and direct a dance video. Rap video to be exact. Its a real hard task and I feel like I'm up to the challenge.
  24. Listening to all the songs in my music folder and deleting the ones I dont like. Which would be quite a lot by the way. My tastes in music have changed a lot since I started collecting the folder. Plus Other people have been dumping stuff into it from time to time.
  25. Scanning my Artwork. THe loads of artwork that I keep drawing during classes. I need to scan it and maybe make a blogger template out of it. Which brings working on my blogger template into the limelight. Saady's recent post should help me a lot in this regard when I'm up to it.
  26. Converting the anagram of my name to vector graphics.
  27. Moving the CD writer from my brothers PC to my PC.
  28. Working on my OPEN GL if I really have time.
  29. Finding a pair of headphones around home I feel that I might wake someone up going on like this listening to all this loud music.
  30. Writing emails to all of my old friends. At least 100 words per friend. I'm losing contact with a lot of great people.
  31. Getting some new music, reading some new books, watching new movies and stuff. The contents in my head are getting stale.
  32. Taking a long long walk. Long is defined as something over 3 hours.
  33. Improving ways of how to managing my time. I need more time to waste. I have too little time to waste nowadays. Sucks!!!
  34. Looking at how me and my bro's PC's are doing on Seti@home. Which is not too bad. No 2 user in Pakistan. Not bad at all. Not long before we are no 1 in pakistan. Unfortunately that still means something like #15000 worldwide.
  35. Working on my Python. I'm delaying it so much that it is on the verge of being classified as, "A lost cause". THe only other thing I can think of in that category right now is my FYP. :P LOL
  36. Working on an ANAGRAM and/or other artwork for WHIM. My FYP group.
  37. Being a better person. <<-- where the heck did that come from.
  38. Strike out point # 37 and run an eveil empire. Like that of Evil Ze Kat in Earth Worm Jim. Man I miss that cartoon.
  39. Trying to get episodes of Earth Worm Jim from somewhere onto my PC.
  40. Writing a song. Its been over 2 semesters since I've done that. Basim and Billa where are you?????
  41. Getting acquainted with some good music synthesizing softwares. Lyrics arent the hard part. Its composing the music. Trust me this is personal experience talking here.
  42. Learning how to play the guitar. Something I wont be able to do for a long long time. The number 1 reason being that I have a guitar at home with just 2 strings in it.
  43. Getting up on the right side of the bed for a change. I'll rotate my bed 180 degrees and then sleep on it for starters.
  44. Saving these 43 points I wrote so far. You never know there might be a power shortage and then I'll have to write all of them all over again and thats not really encouraging.
  45. Make myself as many sandwiches at home as possible cos a fridge and a microwave are really rare items to come by especially in GEEKI
  46. Making a documentary on the study habits of various theeta's i've come across during the past couple of years. This is really funny. Just wait till I come to that part.
  47. I need to write stuff about Day #2 of Balakot. Its not fresh in my memory anymore. Need to sleep over it a night.
  48. Need to correct my posture. Otherwise I'll be complaining of backaches all my life.
  49. Need to learn more breakdance moves. I just know the switch at the moment. :E
  50. Does the word GYM and burning some calories remind me of something. Ummmm!!!!!! I guess not.
  51. 50 points already. This must really mean that I'm a really big procrastinator.
  52. Consult some wiseguys like Nash, Dexy, Emaad Rafi, Luqi, Umair for some advice regarding the future.
  53. Make playlists for music according to my mood. When I'm in a happy mood and a metal song comes up, it really pisses me off and vice versa.
  54. Playing some BBALL. Something that I've been looking forward to eversince a long long time. Gotta win at least one match in interbatch this time :)
  55. Need to catch up on a whole lot of sleep. At least 13 hours a day is what i recommend.
  56. Going to the market to see if theres something that I like. Its been a while since I got something.
  57. Do some real updating to my CV.
  58. Meeting my old teachers somehow. Man the new ones make the old ones look like wizards.
OH well I guess thats all. If I write more i fear I may go crazy. Anyways. Have a happy new year people.
