The Teachers' Day celebrations are over! One less thing to think and worry about!
Or not.
Post-mortem's next next Tuesday. Arrgh.
A lot of things happened. Things that shouldn't have. Things that weren't supposed to be.
And they went along and happened.
Darned the particles of coincidence and fate, and of the inevitable yet hidden and of the unexpected. Darn 'em, darn 'em.
Ok I shan't complain anymore.

It's over!
Sunday, August 28, 2005
Really sorry about this.
Yes, I'm afraid the whole blog's a bit messed up. I'm really really sorry - it turned out that my latest "Alias" layout was a complete div-layer flop and I ended up scraping up. I couldn't even write two entries having to face that layout. I replaced it with this layout I got from [ http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/ ].
So I've been talking to Eud and telling her how I managed to get over the Adventure Camp. I've been dreading it to be frank and trying to shirk it off, but it seems we're fated to be together. I've attempted to compartmentalise my dread and even attempted to suppress and "delete" it, but apparently it persists. I've rationalised that this is going to be a test of my physical abilities and that from an occult viewpoint, the human body is nothing but matter and to test it is to understand and experience the physical side of existence - the feelings of tiredness, of hunger, of thirst, of whatsoever human physical condition is possible. This is what makes life fulfilling - to have known the physical, to have known the spiritual, to have known the aesthetic, to have known the intellectual, to have known the mental, to have known the emotional, and to have known the occult - or, to have known God.
Note that the italicised parts were taken directly from my words in the conversation with Eud. Yes, I AM trying to rationalise it but technical-ising the whole bloody process of reasoning. G-d preserve me.
And of course, there's always the thought and idea that this camp is nothing but a pre-training for being a field agent. I mean, with activities like abseiling, it could only remind you of the physically-impossible feats that the spooks do in "Alias". They were absolutely amazing, I tell you. Imagine flying around suspended from a clothesline somewhere in the urbs of Moscow. Even the red spires of Saint Petersburg pale in comparison to the sheer complexity of attaching a harness, raising a leg over the window, kicking off the side of the building, and veering with absolute precision and caution to the other side of the street.
This twists the classic joke of course: Why did the spy cross the road? He didn't cross the road, he flew across it. And of course, how many spies does it take to screw a lightbulb? Two - one to screw the lightbulb in and the other to loop the security feed.
Ok sorry, "Alias" is probably grating off me. I promise that I'll stop being obsessed with it after I finish watching Season 3.
Of course, there's always Season 4.
And Season 5's coming out in October.
