Just another day...

brb... that's a common enough 'phrase' to use.. the first time i encountered it was probably when i played gin a long time ago with some stranger online. it's commonly used as an abbreviation for 'be right back' but there have been times when i think of it as 'bathroom break' (why not? someone might need to take a leak halfway through the game? and yes, i've been told more than once that im 'funny' - funny as in humourous or funny as in weird i dunno... probably a little of both) anyway, as i was saying, brb is not a phrase i use on a regular basis.. mainly because if im just going to the kitchen to grab a glass of water or to get some food, i'll be back in no time. most people wouldnt even know (or have to know) i was away for that little while.. which leads to the next question.. when exactly do you use brb? and how long exactly is 'right back'? long enough for people to notice you're not there but not long enough for them to think you've fallen asleep in front of your pc? 5 mins? 10 mins? 20 mins? 1 hr? i personally think it's a pretty subjective matter.. it's up to the person who says it to define how long exactly 'right back' is.. but if that person is not planning to coming back 'soon enough' (also a subjective matter) why not just kill the conversation with 'i've gotta go do _______ (fill in the blank) and then start the conversation again when you're done with whatever you had to do? or maybe it's just me taking brb too literally.. oh well..

i made honey with pork again today.. and it's as good as the first time.. so it wasnt a fluke! muahaha! now i'm considering adding mushroom (and maybe a little veg) in next time so it wont be all meat.

gotta wake up early tomorrow to register for my courses.. i've look over my timetable and realized that even though i have 5 courses both during the fall and spring term, i'll only have 14 hrs of class in fall but 19 hours in spring! personally i'd rather suffer first then enjoy the lighter load in spring.. (since i have a tendency to slack off as the year progresses) but i guess i dont really have a choice since all my courses only have one lecture section.. but if the anti-calendar is anything to go by, i should be pretty lucky to be taking the courses i'm taking next year.. so *fingers crossed*
