Laika, a dog and a lake.

There may be a story there.

After watching the video for Laika on Rage (yay woo...I'm sick of praising them) I just realised how much good Funeral really is. And how much I like it. It's probably going to get slotted into one of my top ten albums. But i'm sure that Radiohead will come along and amaze me further.

I really should be sleeping rather than watching Rage. Or I should atleast finish watching Angels in America. Tony Kushner is so witty.

Hi-liarity, I tells ya

Note the lack of punctuation. It feels weird, don't it?

Anyway, things I learnt in Ancient: Cuncktator means delay in Latin.

I'm sick of your Cuncktatoring ways! That's it, i'm leaving. Bye bye.

Ooh also, I am ultra-cool, cause I played no Canasta today. Go me! I came V. close though. Scary very much so.

What time is it?

That question is irrelevant. Everybody knows that it's always time for Canasta!

Glee! Fun fun fun.

I haven't blogged. Too...busy. Playing Canasta.

I like Canasta due to the flexibility of it. I'm only up to playing the advanced computer, there's one more level, Hoyle rules, annoying rule changes to go. So cool.

I also like Canasta due to my winning of it! Muhahahahhaha. To date, I have not lost a game on my computer. Best score yet was of 3975 yo. 7 Canastas, 4 natural. I am so awesome.

Now seeking out the 4 player version of the game, I am off.

I also have Angels in America to watch. How I am going to fit in over 5 hours of viewing into my life is a logisitical nightmare I will not face, so no sleep for me.

Sounds like a stereotypical scientist.

My night out had just begin. It was 5:15 p.m. and I was alone with an empty pie wrapper and remonstrations tab. It was the greatest night of my life.

There's an internal error in the previous paragraph. Can you see it?

I got my book today! Glee! Ebay has paid off for me twice! Not once, twice. Been reading about Cultural Studies, which is very related to Pomo studies (both from an external and internal perspective) and also encompasses semiotics, which I need to learn more about. Although I now understand signs and signifier theory a lot better now. Nifty yo.

Which in itself carries cultural baggage. Now, to conclude this topic, I will leave you with a question:

"Science has replaced theology as the main enemy of liberty."

For/against? Provide support with examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

You have 30 minutes...and lots more.

And to show the reference which I cleverly referenced, it's this:

"Our night out was over. It was 7:15 p.m. and I was alone with three O'Doul's bottles and a $10.50 tab. It was the greatest night of my life."

Let it be (8)

Bah. I was typing a longish post when my comp decided to die on me. To oversimplify:

  • I had a good day. I enjoyed a double strength macchiato at Cafe Insomnia. Nice place.
  • Talked to piscourse a lot. Sorry for stealing him, but too awesome and sexy.
  • Listened to some Architecture in Helsinki. Go Rage go. Nice, eminently likable.
  • Don't like Mark. Being annoying. I hate hate.
  • New Scientist is weird. On further thought, all British people are weird. See elections, Black books, New Scientist. More is available, i'm sure.
  • May have to add Richard Dawkin into god list. He espouses critical thinking. What the hell, who does that these days? Well maybe Chomsky, but he's got a specific agenda behind it...So does Dawkin, sorta, but that I is something I have to wrangle out of him in the next few days.
  • Spending a lot. Interpol. Enmore. Playing show. Be there.
  • I really need to stop watching so many goddamn artsy movies. But my list is not complete, so it will have to continue. And GAH. Barbarian invasions. There are two different versions, and they both have special features which I want to see. Fuck that's annoying, I don't want to buy two different copies. Or I could, and...be prouder that way.
  • Finished Bebop! Good show. Part where I felt really sad was when Annie died. That was really depressing. I still can't quite get over it. When other characters die, not so bad, but Annie...*tear*
  • My problems are so much easier if I don't focus on them. But the meta...Pomo philsophy is concerned so much with language, and metas of language, but I hate that...yet find it very interesting. I have to finish my set of Introducing stuff.
  • This is all I can think about right now. Night, sorry if I missed anything mind.

Learn methods, not recipes.

I ain't gonna be bothered honouring my parents.

I had a Star Wars weekend. Unintentionally even. Clone Wars was...appealing to fanboys, but it's not a good movie. There is more than one type of wipe, even if that wipe is what makes the whole damn movie. Surprise me damnit. The microserieses (huh?) is inconsequential, but highly entertaining. Reminds me why I fell in love with Tartovsky in the first place.

Ok that was a lie, the serieses have good art direction, his older stuff is more funny and esoteric. Talented he is.

Lacking the will to read books. I have been watching a lot of stuff though. Bebop. Soundtrack. Awesome. Black Books is good solid British humour. Crazazy, but good. Dylan Morgan is understated in it I swear. Funny man.

I don't wanna go back to school. *pouts* I will maximise my abilities in the next week or so before settling for the drudgery. I am a sane person. That is all.
