Wishing it was (8)

I just stumbled across a cool blog. Politically active, interested in Philosophy (Lotsa Nietzsche here) a math grad student who's also interested in science, has a very nice list of webcomics (QC, Copper, Sinfest...Hell, even Daily Dinosaur and College Roomies from Hell) and looks to be generally smart and cool. Even in lives in L.A.

Leighton.

Having a trippy fun time, I just wish I had more chocolate to back me up. Getting through the Republic very slowly. Not sure why. My cat is warm on my back. And so are other cats. Neko-san.

Tschuss, as I have parents who don't like me.

The problem with nude dancing is that not eveything stops when you do.

By the Honourable Sir Robert Helpmann.

That will go down in history as memorable. Why will not be discussed.

Having/had a great, great couple of days. There's always the bitter aftertaste, but that may just be the amaretto.

Reasons to hate you all:

MUSIC, and
BACKLOG.

Reasons to hate Pitchfork:

"We may all have to resign ourselves to the distinct possibility of there being more great music than time to take it all in."

POSSIBILITY?!?! What kind of alternate music world do they live in?!!? Goddammit...

Interpol being smartasses.

Holy crap, SBS just did a twenty minute story on the the tsunamis. Utterly freaky to see TV media having integrity now and then.

Ima gonna go watch Mean Girls. Hehehehe. Labu!

EDIT P.S.: I've had to edit this twice now to accomodate the freaky news happenings. What a day indeed.

Oh Caroline (8)

Excerpt from America (The Book):

What does "bicameral" mean? Are any of the girls in your class "bicameral"?

Goddamn funny book that is.

Oh noes! I love that phrase.

Listening to lots and lots of musik, and bein' old school in general.

Get some sleep! Night.

Gradually turning into a nervous lizard.

Whose line owneth.

Having mucho gracias fun fun! I finished reading BNW again, could not believe that I read the entire thing again so quickly...It's not really that well written, just Huxley is uber smart...he used the word scatalogical properly! That is very appealing to the elitist.

Reading The Republic again, for fun and for profit!, and also cause I don't remember enough of it. So many logical loopholes...dammit.

Icecream so delici-ous...

I got my Dendy's card today! Well, really yesterday, cause it's past twelve and all. It's kinda weird, cause I applied for it like less than 2 weeks ago, and also i lost my wallet a few days ago, which contained my Dendy's reciept *ooh, spooky* '

Good to know that integrity, in whatever odd belief still exists, despite the rampant greed and idiocy surrounding the time of year. Ah well. C'est la vie.

Tschuss neko-san!

'Quail is like the virgin. Duck is like the mature woman.'

Oh Iron Chef, what analogies you have bestowed on us.

This is retarded. Having too much fun, compared to actual work done.

Had a good bout of wallowing in self-pity, both literal and metaphorical, but muchly looking forward towards the holidays.

Luff to anyone who can point out the two little references made very recently in this blog. Ciao!

We're more than horses (8)

The Unicorns that is. They're super-cool.

Ze concert was GUTE. It wasn't so much of a concert as getting to meet cool people who played awesome music for us. Dammit they rock.

I gots hugs from them! YAY! They're so cool...Was a fan-frigging-tastic night. They're such good performers, as well as being great musicians.

Anyway, to cap this, Jellybones video!

In the late afternoon you're hung up on wind chimes (8)

Smile is creepy! Creepy good! I didn't really like it, but now I can't stop! It's insidous! I don't know what part about it is so good...It's just so...happy?. It's kinda cool, cause the concert is playing tonight, and i'm listening to SMiLE obsessively.

Dammit, I am going to fail Maths. This sort of thing is going to get so much more frequent now.

Having done approxiamately...no study for maths, I predict failure, even if it's G-unit.

Civ II is a stupidly fun game. Playing the Roman scenario, and being Rome, and breaking treaties en masse, and being a Fundamentalist government having crazy large amount of money, and destroying the Carthiginians with Fanatics, and demanding tribute, for the sake of...well demanding tribute. Gah, so much to write about, which I won't cause you don't really care.

Should I go morrow?
I dunno. It is a good question though.
It is, but how does that help me?
It doesn't. Why, is everything meant to help you?
Well, no, you're being fallacious. But one assumes that you wouldn't say things like that unless you were meant to help.
Isn't that an assumption? I mean, when did I ever say I was helping you?
Then why are you here?!?
That's a good question too.

I gotsa to get Music Jamboree on DVD. I saw todays, and the rant had me laughing so hard....my muscles are sore now. It roxors.

Gah! I want, and make a feeble effort to do stuff, and then I forget in a haze of conquering and civilising.

I don't really NEED sleep, per se....

Just having a great, great time, but a) my days are fading, which is not cool, and b) i'm neglecting school work. I really really cannot afford to this.

It's not fair! I wanna be emo! Damn piscourse....and no, no more insinuations about me and piscourse, I'm having enough trouble on that front as is.

FUCK! notice how i'm talking? talking as though it's a war front...Iesu.

ANYWAY, capitals. Indeed. Bai bai!

Girl, you have no faith in medicine! (8)

I'm going to fail Ancient. Not cool.

That hollow feeling is still there. *sigh* I just have to ramp up my level of activity I guess...I already have, but need to keep it up. Will see, and do, if viable.

The White stripes are...not that bad. Interesting range of music, they have a lot of good ideas which don't quite get exploited enough.

Watching Naruto again! It's so good...Sasky has his own posse now ^^

And Grrr. I have morning classes now. Granted, it's for eco, and all we're supposed to be doing is discussing economics news, so I get to basically rant for 40 mins. Yay ^^

A real-life liger was born! Ain't it the coolest? Gives me more reason to watch Napolean Dynamite...I should this weekend. Hmm, thinking and organising is in order. Mostly just the former.

Things are happenin'! Woo. Tschuss tschuss!

In the cold, cold night (8)

In the course of reading the news, you sometimes wonder whether you're in bizzaro world. And if so, why am I not being inundated by sexy sexy supermodels wishing to have sex with me.

But aside from the whoring, you see...other things.

Like...A restaurant for anorexics.

I really like gum too. (Okay, to be far, the actual idea and principle of the thing is quite cool.)

Jared, you have money, bankroll me so I can start a bar for recovering alcoholics. You can have a lifetime membership.

This was pretty weird too...God I hope my cat isn't ever reduced to this. (Ignore the story, look at the accompanying pic. How sleazy is he?!)

And if she is, she should know that there's no obligation. If there is, practice safe sex.

Cool travel blog. For gringos, by gringos.

"Here's my travel tip for you, don't be an idiot, but if some strange man comes up to you in a cemetery and offers a tour of the dead, and has no ID or work-clothes, and is viciously chain-smoking, you need to take that tour. The guidebooks and your mother will probably tell you not do things like this, but how else can you get in other people's tombs, really?"

Peace out! *does little sign thingy*

Tehehehehehhe...Glee!

Something is not right, something is not right (8)

Can't you feel it?

Shit shit shit shit shit shit.

Gah! My fingers are dancing over this keyboard, yet make mistakes! Energy sublimated from deeper, uglier, profane desires, yet unable to be subjugated and controlled. Is that it? Is that the problem?

But yet, to be channelled through what?...What price is freedom acceptable? Why is there limited freedom?

What do I do at this point? Is this crucial? is this...value? How...modernist.

Where are you, Quality....

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.

We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.

Really? Is love that simple?

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.

How far is too far? How can you move on when you're so far back?

Laughter is by definition healthy.

All thing in moderation.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

What about the one without love? or passion? or drive? or knowledge?

It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,--
Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars!--
It is the cause.--Yet I'll not shed her blood;
Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental alabaster.

And yet I fear you; for you are fatal then
When your eyes roll so: why I should fear I know not,
Since guiltiness I know not; but yet I feel I fear.

Just fragments...Just fragments of beauty and wonder and grace and joy and understanding that...exist. It's like having a hundred Doppler effects coalesce into each other. It's beautiful alright, but it has to mean something, right? Existential angst? didn't that shit end like a century ago?

That which is now, that which is to be have already been, that which is now has already been.

Something is happening that is not happening.

Something is happening which is not happening at all.

There is no rememberance of former things. There is no new thing under the sun.

Something unknown doing we don't know what. That is what
our knowledge amounts to.

Now, just to pin it down....

Stress is not the best way to spur things into actions. But take what you may, I guess...Guessing? I?!

I see. Indeed then, I shall take my leave. Not sure to how to solve this...But, not sure how to approach it either. Lateral thinking time? Without the metas? Damn it, I need to able to freeze time. or space. Bye.

Much thicker than a pencil (8)

Literary luddites!

And...

To the Morons who Wear Make-up

Something in the air (8)

And it better not be napalm. There's been talk. NOT COOL.

Had very much a nothing day yesterday. Didn't do anything. Like anything. Hot though.

I need to get back and get passionate about stuff i.e. START READING. I have been doing my school work though. Go me.

I hate school work. It's so annoying, when I do it, I feel like i'm wasting time doing it, so I spend less time sleeping, because I feel that I have to keep up the amount of stuff that I usually do anyway. I feel I need to do more, because I feel so freaking tainted by it.

Imma go watch a movie on the weekend...I'll get my membership too. *sigh* I really need to give up on some things.

Nothing again. See what I mean? Tschuss!
