got this email today...

Dear Katie and Ashley,

This message is to inform you that:

a) you are both Canadian
b) you are both travelling to Ghana this summer on the UMass program

Please discuss amongst yourselves.

Best, Jeremy

i am so super pumped about the whole ghana thing - and think it's awesome that there's a canadian going and therefore we must be bffs.... hopefully she's cool :)

i just watched the movie 'timer'.

the premise is that scientists have made biotehnological implants that count down to the moment that you meet your soul mate - so you don't know who the person is until bam - there's eye contact and both your 'timers' go off letting you (and the rest of the room) know that you have just met the person who you are 'meant' to be with. the movie explored all the different sides of the timer - people who believed in it... people who didn't... those who's timers had gone off, were soon to go off, and some whose timers were blank due to their eventual partners not having a timer.

the movie was a random find in my netflix suggestion line and i thought it was an interesting concept - and it was. i was talking to some friends as i watched - single friends i guess i should specify - and we had some discussion about the pros and cons of a timer.

if the timer were available - here in 2011 would you get an implant? i don't think that i would... because as much as knowing that someday somehow i may find my "soul mate" or whatever that might be would be nice... it's way too much pressure...

anyways - all i've done today is watch movies and read twilight... so i guess that's all i've got.
