I'm gonna pull you in close
I'm gonna wrap you up tight
I'm gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face, and toast the snow that fell
Cuz friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell

I really like that song.

Mmm, I love technology.

Don't worry too much about what that means. But Gmail is teh best.

Itsa been an interesting time. Unfortunately, i'm going to have to wait and see how things pan out.

*sigh* I hate waiting.

C'est la vie.

I can never think of a good title.

Had a bit of a rollercoaster day, turned out to be good though. I like it when that happens.

Should I bother doing a long post? nah, fuck it, later maybe.

I saw Zhenzi on train today! yayyyyyyyy!

that was cool.

Night all.

For those who have a little spare time,

Washingtonienne.

Now, I presume one, possibly two people know what or who Washingtonienne is, so i'll fill you in. She was a Staff Assistant , or "Staff Ass", as it's called in the business. She used to work in the White House (She was fired for this blog). The blog is account of her life on Capitol Hill and on how she has to sleep with men(some married, even) in order to make enough money to survive.

It's surpisingly well-written and humourous. She's witty, intelligent and quite self-deprecating for some one so interesting. It ain't too bad with the sex, not too risque, but nothing too plodding and pedestrian either.

Example post:

I got a raise today! Now I make $25K.

(Wasn't that what I was making before??)

Most of my living expenses are thankfully subsidized by a few generous older gentlemen. I'm sure I am not the only one who makes money on the side this way: how can anybody live on $25K/year??

If you investigated every Staff Ass on the Hill, I am sure you would find out some freaky shit. No way can anybody live on such a low salary. I am convinced that the Congressional offices are full of dealers and hos.

End Example post.

So go burn some time on this. Bye bye.




In Newsweek of all places.

The director of the new Harry Potter seems to be awesome.

Case in point: to inspire Radcliffe for a scene in which he had to appear awed, Cuaron told him, "Pretend you're seeing Cameron Diaz in a G-string." It worked.

Fucking-A!

Just a little piece of text that I read which cheered me up.

Wednesday, June 02, 2004

I have competition.

Today probably would have been my best day, but then we had to watch Dancer in the Dark...not saying that's a bad thing, but to say you had a good day after watching that movie is beyond fucked-up.

I'm breaking a rule aren't I? Meh, who cares, I do it all the time. Does anyone care?

I've seen it all...

Night.

Thursday, May 27, 2004

Could have been the best day of my life,

But it didn't. That is not good.

Overall, had a very good day today, filled with RAMEN, people and then some more RAMEN.

The RAMEN was good.

I went late to people's houses, played some manly man games, and laughing uproariously at them. Goddamn they're hilarious. Rugby has never quite struck me quite so funny as it did today.

Nyau.

The reason I was late today was I had a fight with my parents, and it started getting a bit much. I was starting to cry, and I really didn't want to be in my house at that time, so I decided to go for a walk. I forced myself to not to cry and walked for about 45 mins to relax, and then decided to go to Jared's house, even though I was like 2 hours late. Meh, it was better than my house anyway.

And they were not Ginger Snaps. That was like chewy...stuff. I'm being real polite here.

RAMEN was awesome! God I ate so much. I can live off that alone for soooooo long now. RAMEN is good.

Umm, school is on tomorrow again, Get to watch Troy! mmmm Sexy Brad Pitt. Looks to be alrightyish. Hehe, meaningless word.

RAMEN!

Night.

Monday, May 24, 2004

Botzen is a shit hole.

Guess who said it?

There is never quite anything like retail binging when you have a crappy day.

Ate a whole pizza, then had a chocolate sundae...It was so great.

I feel like saying lots and talking, but meh. Tis a little late, there's a little too much to say, i'm tired and there's anime available.

Soup. Good. Yes.

Take care all. Night!

Saturday, May 22, 2004

What the hell!?

Okay, i'm breaking a rule but screw that! I get on the Net and end up seeing the most random crap ever. And it makes me LAUGH. It's news time!

What?! Why not now? Breasts. That usually works to get your attention.

Helper monkeys!

OK this is shite. But I put it to show how they put a SIX-FUCKING -PAGE article about how R.Kelly's abuse of children is somehow more acceptable than Michael Jackson's. What planet do these people live on?!

This related to minties nickname so here it is. Most pirated film ever this year!

ALong the theme of long and crazy names for shows, Dr. Love's Super Baby Making Show!

Gay porn! Apparently they're rereleasing pre-80's flicks again.

"My new movies teach that we can keep people safe and have hot, nasty, good fun." Yep, good one.


You body is a wonderland!
Does that mean it's closed down?! Bahahahahahahaha...ha.

Avril to go on Atkins! She says the 'angry'(angry? what?) lyrics on her album were due to TOO MANY CARBS. Avril, you just suck.

That's all the interesting pieces of news I've gathered so far, everything else is just my politicy/sciency stuff. Though I should add class to this and add a Hunter S. Thompson column.

Happy readings!

Thursday, May 20, 2004

I love that game.

The M&M game that is. Played it?

Didn't do much, got to watch lotsa nice music videos, including two of Bjork and Two of Air! yayyyyyy! well, the initial point was to watch Radiohead Videos but I got that done too :P

Read more of those nice little short stories, almost finished one anthology of them, only two more anthologies to go! damn it I keep doing this to myself too often. Who cares.

I have so many things that I want to do that I LIKE, and yet I can't quite do all of them. Damn economics! and then there's the inevitable schoolwork.

Haven't quite been in a proper mood today, my mind and my actions don't quite match. It's like almost, but then no. nyeh, it don't matter.

Listened to lots of music and am actually starting to warm up to emo. It's nice in an emo way. Typically what you expect from emo as well. It's almost scary and very degrading. Nice, sorta, I guess.

Ok, this writing structure isn't really good and i'm being rather silly and all but gimme a break it's late at night. Not really. I like to think it is though =)

Skipping school is fun. I better not get used to it though. Bad habit. But then again...

Keep having certain recurring thoughts about myself and of other people, they're sorta hard to explain...I'm trying not to be judgmental about them and just let them be as thoughts but it's a little more complicated than that. One thinks that mayhap this is not quite the best time or place to discuss such things.

In the meantime, have fun, enjoy yourselves and be content knowing one person you know is having a good time.

That's me, by the way, if you didn't catch that :P

Anyway, C'est la vie and all that sort of stuff I say. Buh bye all.

Wednesday, May 19, 2004

History makes the future, even if the future is to forget the history.

DENIED!

Now that I have your attention, I'll get on with this.

The coolness around me is proliferating at an enormous rate, I can barely keep up with it. It's so mad. Experimented with some writing thing today, I still don't quite understand why teachers are all hung up over it. Goddamn people.

I wasn't going to post today, but there was weird (but good) stuff happening today, so I might as well. What's more appropriate here? :) or ^^?

But yeah, the quote is coolness, guess who said it :P

Just guess. About something. About anything.

Bye all.

Tuesday, May 18, 2004

Ah, twas another day,

and it was lazy, semi-fruitless and good.

Didn't do much at all, but was finally getting that feeling of being lazy and restful, but not feeling guilty and beating myself about it. It was nice.

Downloading the Ghost in the Shell movie, I don't care what anyone thinks, I wanna watch this thing. I might try and actually get into anime a little more seriously, who cares about schoolwork :P

I finally cleaned up my room, did some random cleaning and went shopping for food after realising I hadn't eaten all day.Atleast now I have plenty of low-cal soup! :D

Good things look are. Off to radiohead I listen. Bye all.

Monday, May 17, 2004

I think I just had the best day of my life.

I may have possibly just have had the best-fucking-day of my life, the utter coolness of it all is just sheer astoundment, wrapped in Morning Glory wrapping paper. It's kawaii beyond kawaii.

Slept badly tonight, only got couple of hours, with me waking up in the middle as well.

Day started pretty simply (Did not have pleasant morn, unfortunately). Had Anc history exam, for which I was pretty much entirely COLD (that seems to be my new buzz word). But thankfully the exam turned out to be surprisingly easy, even the extended response and assorted turned out to be nice and pie-like.

Then off to Jared's house for more funness, involving random antics of large words(placate!), unusual family members and of course, animals. Even though I was in a shitteh mood, and never actually did what I wanted to do, but was still being able to have FUN beyond imagining threw me off in a very delightful manner.

Then, on the way home, read the NICEST short story that I could have ever imagined on this day, wit, humour, and feel good. And feminism, don't forget the feminism.

Then back home, and just generally chatting with Inu and the brilliance of Bjork(YES!) spun me out. Raccons. Dreadlock dogs. *hyperventilates* SQUEAL!

Add to the fact that I have a free day tomorrow (YAY!) and with added promise of movie-watching and people. I think i'm going to start to play the blaspheming game.

Granted, I have to do work soon, and I have some things that I need to get off my chest, and a bunch of other stuff, and yet, this still wins. By several million miles.

I haven't done a post till this long cause i've been feeling so insanely hyper. My fucking fingers are trembling from the sheer fun of it all. Now I'm listening to Air and AMAZING.

All is full of love!

Mad song, and possibly the most perfect ending to Homogenic as well.

That little clay sculpture...is breathtaking. It's beautiful.It brings tears to my eyes. The purity, the utter simplicity and beauty of it...magic. It's about to close to perfection that i've ever seen.

Knees are hard.

I think it's the unexpected contrast thing that makes it so much better. It's like masochism, but not; it's better because you don't expect the accompanying relief. It's almost like karma; but with the strange ability to atleast minimally manipulate it to make stuff better.

Of course, there were some bad points today, but it's better if I leave them out. It's fun making memories. This place is like a memory workshop, tinkering with your days, changing, warping, distorting, and most of all remembering.

Gah. I'm out. My day didn't even have much happening in it, didn't have anything interesting, but man was it awesome. I don't care how crazy I sound, but FUN. I've said enough. Hope everyone has atleast one of these fun days in their life. Bye Bye. *waves*


Sunday, May 16, 2004

And a la dee dah to you too.

Spent most of today lazing, sometimes delightfully, sometimes not.

I read a little, actually helped my parents (this better earn me points...sometimes I think my whole life is spent on points and point-related things) and meh.

I have an exam tomorrow that I am absolutely and completely unprepared for, a week that I am completely unaware of, an assessment due in this week, and a life I have no idea of how I got.

In other words it was a good day.

It doesn't scare me at all...

More reading is in order I believe. Night all.

Iesu Grist!

Lo and Behold! IC has updated!!!

Good god. I haven't even read the comic and i've posted it on my blog.

Tais Toi was good, Happy Birthday Jared.

I wanna go home...

But where is my home?

*sigh**hand gesture going into dramatic pose* Unresolved issues. Fuck them. Fuck them up their stupid asses.

You'll be hearing this a lot from me for the next couple of days.

Listening to emo for some reason, why the emoness!!! gah.

I require more flowers! Bye all.

Thursday, May 13, 2004

Reading again.

I've started reading again. I always should have been, have no idea why I sorta stopped. Reading short stories as they fucking rock, probably best form of literary fiction there is.

Kurt Vonnegut. Wow.

Have another two exams to go, and then i'm done. Yay! sort of.

Wow. That was weird...It's been a odd day. Truly it has. Au revoir.

Wednesday, May 12, 2004

Mucho goodness, and lots of tear-wiping.

Had business studies in the morn. I hate business studies. Why the fack did I choose business studies!?

ARGH. I really hate business studies.

I'm done venting.

Lots of fun was had today, minties blogpost creeped me out. What the fuck was that?! It was sorta amusing, I guess, just CREEPED ME OUT.

I bought lip-balm! not just lip-balm, but Morning Glory lemon scented lip-balm! YES!

I love Morning Glory. Have to shop there again soon.

I have nothing else to write about. Nothing else at all. No siree. Nothing at all about buying or any other sort of purchasing for people. Nope.

Anywho, have fun everyone, and whore something or another. *wipes tear*

Monday, May 10, 2004

Joy!

No, nothing joyous happened. I just love that as a name. It's my second favourite name, after Valentine. I need more names. Especially guy names.

I don't even know why I even bother collecting names. I'm not planning to have kids, ever, so why bother. I'll just name other peoples kids :D

Actually, you could say something joyous happened today. I'm so happy for it...yet sad.

People, never let me into a shopping complex unattended now. EVER. I nearly went insane today. I haven't been shopping in a while...it's so alluring. It took a lot of willpower for me NOT to buy some sort of gimmick.

It'd go something like this:

"Hey, I really like this!"

A few minutes later,
"Wait, no I don't. I hate that! I've always hated that!"

Repeated over and over and over...

And speaking of clothes(Must not purchase...but it's there!), I just saw like the coolest thing involving t-shirts. Laundry Origami!

It's so cool...

Mmm toasteds with strawberry jam at weird times of the day...

Don't really have anything else to say, i'm spinning into a good mood, lots of energy, no real place to put it, just feeling good. I'm going to talk to myself for the next few days now.

Blogger has gone all cool on me, it's so...sexy? amazingly useful? utter brilliance? all those things, I think.

Nothing else, i'm going to try t-shirt thing, it's looks...foldy!

Take care people.




Sunday, May 09, 2004

Stabbing motions are made, while delicately perfumed pens dance across the scarred landscape...

And that's the working title of my new film, Stabbers and their perfumed pens that dance with them.

As you can tell, I am bored. Not just bored. Hella bored. Think boredom so bad that you would strain your brain trying to think of the boredom. And then some.

But yeah, my day was wasted slothfully, mostly, with helping rents out and learning Go.

Does the game frustrate you as much as it frustrates me? Man, I lose against damn comps, by like a huge margin. *grumbles at amazingly simple, but astoundingly difficult to even get marginally good at game.*

I have a bajillion things that I want to do, but won't do cause i'm LAZY.

I require a project/hobby. A nice one. Any suggestions?

Oh right, exams are there too. Study or something. Later.

Saturday, May 08, 2004

Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.

Eternal Sunshine was utter brilliance, it was damn amazing.

There are so many damn things to analyse in this movie, it would make your mind explode.

I can't be bothered to analyse them.

Had fun today, it's always fun with people.

I think you're crazy, maybe...
I think you're crazy, maybe...

And hedonism works alright. It takes a lot of fine-tuning though.

Go listen to Air!

Thursday, May 06, 2004

You're the Anti-Genre!

Nothing happened. Nothing.

Too many people turned up to the OPTIONAL afternoon class, when it says optional, it means OPTIONAL, not go otherwise Motherwell will guilt the crap out of you class.


And disregard yesterday's IC. This is a far better one.

I bought Xylitol, people broke my chopsticks and I nearly thought people were nice. For a whole second. Today showed me how wrong I was. mmmm, demoralisation...

Go listen to Radiohead!

Wednesday, May 05, 2004

Pancakes!

Pancakes I say!

Had a good day today, filled with pancakes and Fruits basket. Ah the random craziness...

Toired and I sorta feel like sleeping. Think I will.

Crap. Exams. Crap.

Have fun people.

This is a fucking brilliant strip.

Tuesday, May 04, 2004

You see, everything in life basically boils down the this question:

Is this going to be better or worse than Ramen?

Had a verrrrrryyyyy long day today, it even turned out to be a little enjoyable. I found out that I am under no circumstances ever to be allowed to cook, as Ramen took me 15 mins, AND I made a mess. It was still good though.

Gah. My brain has decided to go walkabout. I had so much to write about...No I didn't, what am I saying. Ah well.

And goddamn people and their self-referentials. Anymore of that shit and I will stab you with a sharpened pole made out of other sharpened poles. Referencing aforementioned sharpened poles. Got it?!

I need to torture myself way more often. It's so...refreshing? hideously dangerous? engaging? well, if nothing else, keeps my mind busy.

Yeah so if that didn't make sense, umm yeah too bad. I'll explain later or something.

It's getting colder now ain't it? Night all.

How's about a morning post to get you all up cheery and awake?

I'm feeling especially stupid this morning so here's a crappy link for you all. You gotta love the EU.

I especially like this part of the story:
"The new EU women are so sexy," wrote Bild in a headline over pictures of the nearly nude blondes, brunettes and red-haired women.

See people, this is why we need to live in Europe.

This may rank as one of the stupidest things I have ever done. Take note of this people. It may be important later. Bloody unlikely if I help it.

Have fun, and whore your Gmail!

Monday, May 03, 2004

Omg I just had to say this:

Nyau.

Sorry, it felt very much like a 'nyau' moment.

I didn't go to school today. Felt a little sick/I wanted a break, so decided not to go to school. Nothing productive was done, a little annoyed, but it doesn't really bother me. Did listen to lots of Unicorns though :)

Okay, this is like the funniest damn thing i've read in a while, and I need to fill out my blog so here's a link to the interview of The Unicorns. Funny moments include:

Eric: So, you guys play music too, right?

Jamie: Umm... we're trying to phase it out, actually.

Nothing really to say, I feel...weird. Like weird weird.

Yeah, so anyway, everybody have fun and all. Bye bye.

Wednesday, April 28, 2004

No no no no no no....but yes.

I've gone crazy happy.

Not good.

Had quite a good day today, nothing happened...Just a series of unfortunate events. I have to read that series. Lemony Snicket! *laughs at own idiocy*

Me, being the economist I am, have to bring myself down, or i'll bust in a big way. You know, booms and busts and all that shit...ah, what would you people know? *grumbles about all the people who don't know enough about economics and all that useless crap...cept crack and heroin!*

Nyau.

I'll use schoolwork to bring myself down or something. But yeah, it's all cool!

Ah!!! so much music bombarding me from all sides...Head imploding.

I had greek salad today! mmmm greek salad...

enough from me, go and listen to good music!

Tuesday, April 27, 2004

How could you?

How could you get me to listen to Black Eyed Peas?! HOW?!?!?

For example, They have this one song called Latin Girls (leaves a damn lot to the imagination, don't it?) and the song goes on for over 6 freaking minutes!!! What the hell!?!? I can barely stand 2...

You can only imagine what the rest of the album would be like.

School starts unpleasantly soon, I am screwed for it, but to use an oft-quoted word, meh.

And no, you don't sound too hollow. Maybe that's just the idealism speaking. How would I know?

Atleast I, Robot is being turned into a movie. But Will Smith as the star? Bleh, there had to be someone better for this.

Yeah, won't say anything more, bye all.

EDIT: Okay, I know that this is a bit too political of me, but this edited speech of Bush sounds very similar to Fitter Happier to me. Including the tone. Or is that just me?

Sunday, April 25, 2004

I finally laughed today, and it wasn't even at Dave Barry

It's really not that funny.

Oh God yes. Google just offered me Gmail!!! How amazingly sweet. How the fuck did this all happen?

I was feeling all crappy today, deciding to lie in bed and all, then suddenly laugh at aforementioned news article, then suddenly found out that i'm in Gmail, then Inu is getting this, and what the hell!?!?

Feeling much better now. Thank you Google.

P.S. the new email is rishi.krishnan@gmail.com Disregard previous email and send all email here. Thank you.

Use fabric to block holes where the wind blows in.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

How is it that people don't truly understand the significance of everything that happens? Everything that exists?

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.

It's cold outside.


Saturday, April 24, 2004

Thom DOES dance like a wood elf.

A co-ordinated wood elf, too.

The concert was fucking amazing, the set list played wasn't too bad, twas a little short. Still far too fucking amazing. They sound checked for Let Down THREE times, and then decided not to play it...THREE! Why not just kill me now, bastards.

T-shirts were expensive as expected, but DAMN COOL, also as expected.

I can now start listening to Radiohead obsessively again, it's possibly the most fulfilling thing from this concert.

Had a blast, all of you should have one too. bYe bYe now.

Friday, April 23, 2004

Cause it's just another day, you will lose it anyway...

We would be together
Lovers forever
Care for each other

I LOVE Venus. It's one of those few truly romantic songs that actually move me. It's so...indescribably beautiful.

Air is just utter brilliance, in electronica form. God i'm so obsessed with it. And it feels so...perfect. Just perfect. I'm completely obsessed with it, but once I listen to it as an album once through, I don't need to listen to it again. It just feels so complete...This is one of those albums you HAVE to listen as an album though, I think.

This'll probably be a music heavy post, cause i'm feeling that way, and I can't be bothered to recount my day and all that. Ask me if you REALLY care.

Radiohead Concert! Oh god i've waited so long...It was so SCARY today. MTV, deciding to be smart for a change, puts on Fake Plastic Trees. WHY MUST YOU TEST ME SO GOD?!

so consequently, I had to go screaming from the room, AND miss the vid for Fake Plastic Trees. ARGH! *sigh* atleast the concert will be good.

It's late at night, i'm getting tired and I should go to sleep. Air ROCKS. Never forget that.

Lots more to say, can't be bothered to say it here, i'll tell you all personally or something. Bye everyone *waves*

Tuesday, April 20, 2004

Kill Bill.

How fucking awesome is this movie!? Ultimate movie ever. Exudes class in every frame. Drop everything people, and make this your priority in life. If you have to choose between sex and Kill Bill, choose this. Your hand is always there. Unless it gets chopped off in a horrible bloody fashion.

Only quibble I have with this movie: eating toasteds and strawberry jam during it.

Had a wonderful day today, I quite like this. Hope everybody has days like this.

Bob, you're cool. That's all I need to say.

Your random WTF news story of the day.

Anyway, it's late at night, and I need to sleep. Take care all.

Sunday, April 18, 2004

Make up your own title.

Yes, I do feel like a bitch.

Day was good/bad, it's very tricky to say. I'm angry at myself for cheating, I should have been confronting issues rather than distracting myself. Too late now I guess. I need to talk to everyone, and I need more therapy.

I mean that. Unless someone can direct me to another therapist, Min-taec, one more session. I have a million things to talk about. I can't do it here, takes too long, and i'll always somehow leave out something crucial.

Coffee/tea was lovely, Brewhaha seems DAMN COOL, really surprised for that. The place is actually utterly brilliant. You missed a lot Min-taec.

And before I forget this, I think I finally realised why Bob is a champ. You fucking rock Bob. I can't emphasise that enough. I don't really care that this might make no sense or in general coherence, but Bob is fucking cool.

Dave Barry *gasp* being serious!

Though except for this bit.

Do you think you're getting funnier now that you're getting older, or do you think it's just funny that you're getting older?
I'M NOT GETTING OLDER.

Hilarity.

Therapy to do, people to speak to, changes to make. So many different things, so many different people, so many different possibilities, both unpleasant and deliriously happy.

*great big sigh of whatever*

Saturday, April 17, 2004

Something a bit more relevant.

Now that i've contributed my share of making you all smarter and cultured and all that, i'll post what I would have normally posted.

I've been feeling increasingly spiritual over the past few weeks. I've started the whole deep questioning of beliefs agains, due to no small part of the fact that spirituality is started to be featured prominently in news again. Spirituality seems to be such an easy way out of things though. Think I've been away from psychology and science for too long.

The thing is, I believe that if you were to commit yourself to a spirituality, you have to do it whole-heartedly. I believe that being spiritual should actually affect the way you live, and would make a difference to your life.

I can never really commit myself, as natural psychology starts undercutting any beliefs I have. Though it is fun knowing like 5 different meditation techniques. Even if I don't use any of them :P

And Bjork is so cool! I love Hunter...It's so crazy fast and yet utterly brilliant. And no, I haven't listened to The Unicorns yet. I'm listening to all my music which I haven't listened to recently, so I don't end up with music I never listen to. And yet, I want to get more music.

And I think I've figured out more on the eating front. See, for most people, eating is a comforting experience. It's routine, simple and usually quite fulfilling. This is why that obesity is been linked to depression. People are stressed about something, consequently eat to comfort self, and this builds up. This also explains the existence of comfort foods.

That's how and why I have both eating problems AND comfort foods. At some point in my life, my mind decided that eating was an generally unpleasant experience, and so consequently eating doesn't actually comfort me; yet certain foods help me feel better. And min-taec, you evil fucker, you've got me addicted to toasteds and strawberry jam. I went insane yesterday, and refused to eat nothing but toasteds and strawberry jam.

What else is there to say. I need to talk to people, i've got school work which I have to START, and where the fuck are all the dreams coming from!? I might talk about that later.

From a sanity-deprived, semi-depressed and overly talkative person, bye.

I know i'm going to sued for this.

Considering how crappy i've been feeling all day, and with the whole emotional vulnerability thing showing, I found this, enormously FUNNY.

Here, reproduced below is one of Dave Barry's many amazingly funny columns. I could have sent the link, but the people at Miami Herald force you to register to read his stuff, so i'm putting this one up here as bait. I mean, introductory material. Dave Barry


Why can't they just lose the ring in the sink?

DAVE BARRY

I finally saw the new Lord of the Rings movie, which is entitled Lord of the Rings II: A LOT More Stuff Happens. It's a tad on the long side (three days) but I am not complaining. My eyeballs were literally riveted to the screen, by literal rivets, from the moment I sat down until the moment I lost all sensation in my lower body.

Yes, this is a classic movie, the kind that makes you laugh; makes you cry; makes you wonder, over and over, if this would be a good time to go to the bathroom. Above all, it's a movie that makes you think about the issues raised by the plot, the main issue being: What the heck IS the plot?

I say this because it's a very complicated story, with numerous subplots and something like 11,000 major characters, most of whom have hard-to-remember names like ''Flagodirt'' or ''Grempkin.'' So today, as a service to all of you who were confused by this great movie, I present the following:

SIMPLIFIED SCREENPLAY FOR LORD OF THE RINGS II

(Scene 1)

FRODO: Darn! I still have this darned ring that I got in the first movie!

SAMWISE: The ring with the terrible power that causes everyone who comes near it to over-act?

FRODO: Yes! And to destroy it, we must walk, slowly, in real time, all the way across New Zealand!

SAMWISE: But who will guide us?

FRODO: How about a reptilian computer-generated creature with a bad comb-over?

SAMWISE: Dick Cheney's in this movie?

GOLLUM: Very funny, Hobbitt-breath.

(Scene 2:)

LORD ARAGORN: Well, my two trusty companions -- Legolas, the Strangely Tall Elf; and Gimli, the Comic Relief Dwarf -- in our subplot, we are pursuing Merry and Pippin, who have been captured by Orcs, and now we find ourselves in the Kingdom of Rohan, ruled by King Theoden, whose niece, Eowyn, will become my second love interest once the king is released from the spell cast by his trusted counselor, Grima Wormtongue, who is secretly in league with the evil wizard Saruman!

LEGOLAS: I have no idea what you're talking about.

LORD ARAGORN: Me either. I'm just reading the script.

GIMLI: Well, I'm really short!

(Laughter)

LORD ARAGORN: But enough explanatory dialogue. It's time for one of the estimated 17 big sword-clanging battles we have in this movie with hideous computer-generated monsters who always outnumber us by the thousands, although we defeat them every time, because we are courageous heroes!

LEGOLAS: Also, they have the hand-to-hand-combat skills of alfalfa.

MONSTERS: Arrrrrr.

SWORDS: CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

(Scene 3:)

MERRY: Well, Pippin, we escaped the Orcs, and now we are being carried around by talking trees!

PIPPIN: Apparently, the audience will swallow anything!

TREE: It gets worse! Later on, we engage in branch-to-hand combat! (Scene 4)

MONSTERS: Arrrrrr

SWORDS: CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! (Scene 5)

FRODO: How come, if I'm the protagonist, Lord Aragorn has TWO love interests, and I'm stuck in a subplot with Dick Cheney?

GOLLUM: Maybe it's because your big hairy feet make you look like you're wearing a pair of dead weasels.

(Scene 6)

LORD ARAGORN: Well, Legolas and Gimli, with the help of Gandalf the White, formerly Gandalf the Grey, also known as Gandalf the Beige, we have defeated the Uruk-hai in a giant computer-generated battle. Now we must make haste to the Really Big Rock of Karambador, before the forces of Ba'Zoot, led by the evil King Weltpimple, conquer the Mullions of Gneep and obtain the Remote Control Unit of Doom!

LEGOLAS: Now you're just making stuff up.

LORD ARAGORN: Well, it's not as stupid as the kung-fu trees.

GIMLI: I'm still short!

(Laughter)

(Scene 7)

FRODO: UH-oh! The movie is over, and I still have this darned ring! Do you realize what that means?

SAMWISE: That ''Weasel Feet'' would be a good name for a rock band?

FRODO: Yes, as would ''Kung Fu Trees'' and ''Combat Alfalfa.'' But my point is that the forces of Evil have been let loose upon the land, which means soon there will be...

SAMWISE: No! Not that!

FRODO: Yes. Another sequel.

MONSTERS: Arrrrrr.

Had to post this.

I just heard this from Inu, two of you should know her, and the other I plan to tell/introduce, and had to post this:

'You're a violet crumble blonde. You're only blonde on the inside.'

Bahahaha.

And if you don't think it was funny, twas funny at the time, alright.

And with me trying to get rid of the whole repression thing, I'm actually being open with her. Not much, but it's a start. It's also starting to creep me out. A fucking lot. I'll explain this a bit more later.

Can't really say anything.

So I probably won't.

It's been a fucked-up day, though nothing happened. It looks like nothing is going to get better soon, though I'm not sure. Infinity sure is a big number...

Maybe it's just the lack of pills talking. Either way, bye.

Wednesday, April 14, 2004

A few things.

I'm going to need a therapist.

No, I mean it, I'm going to need a real therapist soon. Min-taec isn't there all the time, and i'm being completely unfair to him. Though...*sigh* upleasant decision I just had to make. I have to study psychology again. Good not.

I have a few things that I have to work out, or I won't like the effects of leaving them alone.

Why am I feeling so indifferent to death nowadays? it's weird. If I were to die right now, I wouldn't care. I really wouldn't care. I have this feeling that if someone or something were to kill me, I wouldn't bother resisting. Does this mean anything?

Anyway, it was a good day. Memento was good, sorta, you know what I mean. I...enjoyed myself today. That could probably be the best way to put it. I think.

Cats teach us that not everything in nature has to have a function.

A requiem for a dream.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world....

Best fucking lines ever. Sorry for being such an angst whore, though by now, i'm sure that doesn't really mean anything.

I have absolutely no fucking idea on what to do. Fuck, I have to COMMIT to something, anything, god dammit.

Did you know you can get so tired that the muscles that control your eyes can be too weak to hold your eyes still, so the world seems to vibrating ever so gently...

Feeling a little too indecisive to talk right now, i'll try my best later. Night all.

Saturday, April 10, 2004

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

Ah memories.

At best, you can have a love-hate relationship with them, as i've been finding out.

Watched DVD of Tropfest, I didn't feel too bad during the thing, almost happy. Haven't really been able to sleep all that well, but it's alright. Want to see what Jareds' new house looks like, it's always useful knowing a rich person.

Having a few too many arguments with family, it's really starting to bug me. Just something I guess.

Glee!

I feel all stupid now. Bye everyone.

Thursday, April 08, 2004

That was ungood.

No, not revisiting Orwell.

Camp was not really good, i'm not really well.

Not going to say too much right now, as I've got these irrational masochistic/suicidal urges right now, and i'm going to either try and distract myself or just sit and try not to do something very stupid. I shouldn't really be at my house right now, as it's not really my ideal place when i'm like this, but I don't really have a choice.

Atleast I have minties Tropfest DVD to watch, and Grandaddy is coming to Australia, so that's something to look forward to.

A little tired, a little confused and a little sad. Hope everyone has fun in whatever. Bye.

Monday, April 05, 2004

Oh fine.

I'm up late at night, listening to good music (Interpol and Franz Ferdinand) and kinda sitting around not going to sleep.

I have packed, it didn't take as long as I thought, but it still took a while.

*sigh* sorry about such a bitch yesterday. I'm angry at myself for a few things, and i'm needlessly taking out at my anger on other people. Atleast I know I can sort of rely on some people.

The cynicism and sardonism has worn off, now i'm just depressed. I should go for comfort foods, but I only tend to do that when i'm feeling all cynical.

Hope you enjoyed whatever you've had so far. Bye.

Saturday, April 03, 2004

Thursday, April 01, 2004

Oh god damn it.

Why does when I begin to have even a half-decent day, something comes along to screw it up?

Just lost it, and ended up arguing with my parents, i'm blowing off some steam here. Been a little too stressed for my liking for the past few days. It's suprising how optimistic some people can be these days. Myself included.

Bah. Just annoyed. Don't worry about it. Night.

Wednesday, March 31, 2004

A day of madness, and Thom Yorke.

Fuck.

On to more important things, i.e. ME, MYSELF and did I mention ME?

Err, yeah. Watched stupid, stupid movie (You wasted a couple of hours of my life, Mintie!!!) then comfort eating. Mmmm, comfort eating...

It's wonderful that I have several comfort foods right now. It ranges from chocolate (I mean like icing chocolate) to vanilla icecream, with chocolate topping.

Alright fine, there is no vanilla icecream.

But seriously, comfort foods rock. Unhealthy as hell, but they ROCK.

I'm SO going to have a self-destructive habit like a couple of years down the line. Expect me to be either be smoking, drinking, or God forbid, exercising. Or if he/she really hates me, some fucked-up combination of the three.

You know, I'm incredibly tired. Which evil little energy sapping goblin sonofagun (ooh, how clever) visited today? oh, it's him. I call him George. Hi George. Say hi to George everyone *waves*

Anyway, hope you all have a fan-freaking-tastic time. Night.

Monday, March 29, 2004

Guh?

Ok, considering that I didn't get enough sleep, and me being nervous and edgy the whole damn day, I guess something had to snap. Why did it have to be my brain?

I've only been able to think in monosyllabiac nonsense, such as 'muh fuh guh muh zuh zu?' which roughly translates into, 'Gah ze meh la feh.'

With my mental capacity as to being so low as to have trouble with such minor activities as say, blinking, I look quite odd. Here I am, standing, trying desperately to blink, but never quite reaching there, so I look like my eyes are perenially twitching. In the meantime, I lose control over bodily functions, so I start frothing at the mouth like some rabid beast.

So here I am, looking like some rabid psychotic weirdo, who looks like he's very very lost, and could someone please give him some decent directions back to, well, anywhere.

But seriously folks, rabid psychotic weirdos deserve love too, cause this one knows where you live.

That aside, Utterly brilliant comic

Have a good day all.

Can a deterministic Compability view even truly exist in the epistemological sense, or is it mere sophistry?

If that didn't make any sense, good. It isn't meant to. I'm deliberating playing around with large words. It's pomo :P

Wasted a perfectly good weekend, though really, I wasn't really in a good mood. Shame I guess.

Holidays are coming, and a song tells me that it's better in the holidays, so it must be better. Though it never specified what was better. Meh, small point.

Should do work now. Night.

Sunday, March 28, 2004

Sugar hangovers....

I didn't actually think they existed.

Did nothing, finally finished Pratchett, have no idea why I was so lax with the damn thing.

All interested in philosophy, I miss arguing, I miss the big words, I miss the general musing about all things great and small. Think i'll start reading about economic philosophy and some political philosophy, then something on God. There's lots of things to do.

Oh yeah, there's also that school thing that I should really follow.

And how fucking good is Franz Ferdinand!?!?

Otherwise, spend your time figuring out whether God exists. Here's a site to help you Bye now.

Saturday, March 27, 2004

Comfort.

I don't really have that feeling of security nowadays. that simple feeling of happiness, that feeling of joy of being with people.

I only feel secure, I mean really secure in a few places nowadays. In school, it's not a true type of security, it's more of a blatant disregard for people. I don't give a fuck about other people, so I can be as harsh or as retarded as I want, purely because I don't care about the consequences. That's why I have trouble fitting into YAB. I'm very afraid of hurting people, offending their sensibilites, though I'm slowly starting to figure out things. It's pretty much all social psych, and I barely looked at that.

And I figured why I like postmodernism so much. I AM postmodernism. Literally. I have a postmodern personality, postmodern habits, everything about me is postmodern. I steal habits. I pilfer mannerisms. I stole Jareds physical possessions and his creativity. I stole Bob's odd ability of meaningful meaninglessness and wit. I stole min-taec's taste in music, books and his mode of speech. I stole the finger trick off a girl in business week. I never really realised that I steal so many things. It's so crazy. I'm pretty much trying to analyse every part of me to see if any part of me is original. I don't think so.

But postmodernism is cool for the whole nothing new, yet it is thing.

Only problem with this is if you're an empiricist, so consequently, every person is a postmodernist. But that's not really the point :P

Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure
Died and so you died

High off chocolate and good music. Would have liked to talk to some one, but oh well. I'll try and go to sleep before the high crashes and being in the whole emotionally vulnerable state, I don't particularly want to be there. For the record, yes still super-uber happy :)

Beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor
Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore

How cool is that?

Au revoir, everybody.

Thursday, March 25, 2004

Atleast i'm trying.

The super-happy insaneness is still sorta there, i'm going to see if I can keep it atleast till tomorrow.

A little tired today, threw me off. Still listening to ultra-upbeat music to keep me going, it's all good.

Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe

I should do some research into something, savants seem like an interesting topic I think. Otherwise, bye.

Wednesday, March 24, 2004

I think, therefore I am a hat.

Best line ever, dammit.

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday.

I'm STILL happy/insane! can you believe it? Three whole days! The truth is, that actually IS a record :P

I've actually had three bad days, but I'm been in a uber-brilliant mood, which is cool. My brain shut down yesterday, without me asking it to, which isn't very nice of it I think.

And exercise actually works! can you believe it? all this while, i've just been thinking, 'What?! people willingly do that to themselves?! what for? To get fit?! are they insane?!' I actually do feel better, which is kinda creepy...but good.

And why didn't anyone tell me Bob was on MSN!? *sigh* damn useless people...

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

How cool is that song?!

Alright, i'll stop it here with the general I-can't-find-a-suitable-adjective-to-describe-this and end this here. Bye bye all.

Monday, March 22, 2004

Things are ever so bad, and i'm oblivious to them.

I'm just in this ever so happy mood, it's really quite insane. Considering you all probably don't have much of an idea on why the hell i'm so retardedly happy (cause I don't have much an idea myself) i'll treat you all to a looong post.

To tell you the truth, I haven't had the best past few days.

The weekend was somewhat of a mess. Saturday, I didn't enjoy it quite as much I thought I would. I hadn't eaten enough that day, the heat was probably a little oppressive, and well, something went wrong. I was feeling a little detached and the stuff that we talked about that day, and what happened, it set something off.

Did anyone actually get the allusion that I made on Saturday? I'm presuming you're all familiar with the phrase, 'To open a can of worms', and what do you go fishing with? Know what I was fishing for, and why I didn't want to?

I ended up crying that night, and I went into some odd little tirade in my head to make myself feel worthless so that I wouldn't have to tell anyone.

On Sunday, I also started being fairly masochistic, in order to increase the self-loathing. Ever done the rubber band on the wrist thing to yourself? stick a rubber band on your wrist and snap it. Keep doing it for a few hours. It hurts. I ended up getting this nice streak of blue bruises across my left wrist, and another streak of red across my right wrist. At one point, I was damn close to cutting my wrists in order to heighten the pain, but couldn't. (I had the knife pressed to my skin, but didn't have the physical or mental strength to make that final cut.)

I didn't do much that day. I got out of the house, went to a park to brood. Stuck around there for a few hours, penned down lyrics of a couple Beck songs, wrote a couple of bad poems and drew really really badly. I mean BAD. In the end, decided that I would try and actually do something, rather than agonise.

The difference here and when i've had a depressive episode in my life is that this time, I was able to remember the good times I've had as well as the bad. I'm not quite ready yet in order to give up entirely.

And this after missing my iron pills for three days now.

However happy I seemed to be today, it was fake. A farce. A visage. A facade. A charade. A chicanery. It was that irrelevant, irrevenant, type of happiness that children face. A sort of disrespectful, childlike bliss. Ignorant bliss, you could say. It was actually a bad day, but it's just that I was in a good mood. I'm going to try my hardest to actually try and do something, to try and meet new people, to explore things.

I'm going to lots of new places. I'm going to try and find new things. I'm going to try. I want you to be there with me.

If that didn't make too much sense, what did you expect? it's me talking :P.

Either way, enjoy whatever little sense this made, I'm in a ectastic mood right now, there isn't much that can get me down.

Tell me your secrets,
Ask me your questions,
Oh let's go back to the start...

I do love you all so very much.

Goodbye, Ladies and gentlemen.

Sunday, March 21, 2004

...

It's nothing that I haven't seen before
But it still kills me like it did before
No it's nothing that I haven't seen before
But it still kills me like it did before

Saturday, March 20, 2004

Do you really need to know?

Think about that one.

Well, if I ever need to go fishing, which I better damn well not, atleast I have bait.

Well, yeah. Cya, I guess.

Thursday, March 18, 2004

Banjos

There's a banjo in Sexx Laws actually.

Today was random and angsty and generally cool, though with the whole failing of the maths and all was not so good.

Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine

Everything seems to be fun-filled and busy and Midnite vultures rocks.

I'll leave you graffiti where you've never been kissed

Night all.

Wednesday, March 17, 2004

No no no no no no no no.

That was cathartic :P

Bad day, and nothing really seems to make it better.

And where did all this resentment come from?

Let's just chalk this up as a bad day and leave it at that.

Night all.

Tuesday, March 16, 2004

Needless, yet needed.

Maslownian Hierarchy of Needs.

Physiological - This is most basic of all needs, and translates roughly into food, water and shelter. It should be noted that food should be considered as a balanced diet, clean drinking water and adequate shelter. Once this need has been satisfied, it progresses onto security.

Security - In this stage, the person's needs are that of physical and mental (though this is debated) security. That is, the person needs to feel safe from physical and mental harm. Once this is achieved, the person then progresses onto Belonging.

Belonging - Also known as the love stage - This stage, the persons requirements are that he/she feels that they belong somewhere, to a group, if need be. Attitudes and identities need to be consistent. People in this stage often feel the need to label themselves, and others around them. When people feel that they belong somewhere in society, they tend to progress to esteem.

Esteem - Esteem relates to both self-esteem and esteem recieved from others. In this stage, people need to have both self-confidence and self-respect for themselves, and have their opinions/values/beliefs respected by others. Once a sufficient level of esteem has been reached, the person progresses onto self-actualisation.

Self-actualisation - Once a person reaches this stage, he/she is considered to be self-actualised. This means that he/she has achieved their maximum potential possible as a person. Thinking and logic processes tend to refined and accurate, opinions and values are highly developed. These people often are considered intellectuals by others, and frequently pursue intellectual careers.

Monday, March 15, 2004

Well, crap.

The whole lack of sleep thing caught up with me today, and I ended up napping for the better part of about 2 and half hours. No, this is not good.

The death toll in Spain has gone up to over 200.

Stoop and you'll be stepped on; stand tall and you'll be shot at.

Still behind on everything, and that's kinda annoying.

NIght all.

Sunday, March 14, 2004

Something useful out of somewhere you wouldn't expect.

I could not master
iambic pentameter
so I wrote haiku


utter brilliance.

I know all except myself.

Had a lazy weekend, though I was far too energetic, finished Dark Materials.

I'm screwed for maths, I have happy memories now, and well, i'm slipping back into that whole "I have a bajillion things to do" mindset, which I need to sort out and figure.

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.

Au revoir.

Friday, March 12, 2004

Need to get Big Red...

People shaved heads, stenciled e's on them, and were shamelessly exploited today. When doesn't that happen?

Had fun watching Intolerable cruelty, George Clooney is really starting to appeal to me as an actor, might invest in him sometime soon.

Yay, was forced to reevaluate everything I know, life is so fun.

Night all.

Thursday, March 11, 2004

Mmm, emo...

Teeheehee. No i'm not insane yet...though the doctor said not to skip the pills.

People got their head shaved, though a little more forethought and planning probably should have gone into it, but twas good nevertheless.

Now, I have to do like forty different things. Bah.

How can you not like Hans Blix?
Cept for the weird name, but still...

Wednesday, March 10, 2004

Need to do....something.

Not really :P

Emotionally swinging, found out I love treadmilling, and probably going to try and switch to Waitara fitness.

Happy? not really. Energetic? yes. Means I'm happy? yeah it does.

Way too flighty to really concentrate, umm something interesting yeah.

because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell.

Faith and Solidarity.

Tuesday, March 09, 2004

Damn that bastard Freud.

You either conquer your fears, or your fears conquer you.

Hey, my brain stopped working. Is that a good thing?

Why did it get so hot?

Was there a meeting or a memo or something sent out?

Didn't really feel the heat till about half way through afternoon english. Now, Why is it so god-forsakingly hot?

Enjoy my little dramatisation there.

Can't really think of anything, heat's sapping my energy and it's getting a little difficult to think.

Bye all.

Monday, March 08, 2004

A random thought or two.

Been thinking a bit lately, think I should stop.

I haven't really had a long post on this thing in a while. If you're hoping to find one now, don't bother. If you're not, even better. I'm not really into the long, meaningless soliloquays right now.

I've been talking to myself a lot. I talk to myself for atleast 2-3 hours a day, and more sometimes. I don't talk to myself out loud per se, though that happens sometimes, but what usually happens is that I either subvocalise or my lips move a little, but no sound comes out. Sometimes, I get incredibly absorbed like this, and I don't notice things around me at all. A lot of the time, I imagine that i'm talking to a friend, that they're there next to me, and I'm saying things to them.

I don't really know what this means. Does it mean I feel like talking to people, but don't, for some reason or another, or am I going insane?

I'm really unsure of myself at this moment in my life. For example, in the personality quiz I couldn't answer most of those questions, as I'm not too sure about them. I either don't know how I would behave in those situations, and I have a feeling that I could change how I do behave. I talk about myself a lot when i'm alone. I don't really know my capabilites, my strengths, my weaknesses. I'm not sure how to proceed to find out either. I guess my best way would be psychoanalyse myself, but that has it's own intrinsic problems.

That's all I going to say for now, I don't want to say too much here.

Hope you enjoyed my slight revealing of my inner turmoil. Either expect me to open up completely or shut up completely.

The New absolutely melts my heart everytime I hear it. It's akin to listening Sea Change, but just different enough not to be the same. Great song.

Have fun everyone.

Sunday, March 07, 2004

Cooking and cleaning.

Cleaned, cooked, we need more range in our activities.

I need to learn more korean.

Take care.


Saturday, March 06, 2004

Of mice and midgets.

I've always preferred the former to the latter.

That's all from me.

Thursday, March 04, 2004

Annyong-haseyo. *waves*

You can tell that i'm a good mood. Listening to Odelay, been a damn long while since I have listened to it. So poppy.

Feeling very open right now, if you want to know something, ask me NOW. I've finally uncovered years of repression and neglect, it's so...nice.

Thanks. Thanks for everything.

Wednesday, March 03, 2004

Just that much better.

"That's the duty of the old," said the Librarian, "to be anxious on the behalf of the young. And the duty of the young is to scorn the anxiety of the old."
They sat for a while longer, and then parted, for it was late, and they were old and anxious.

And that, my friends, is poetry.

It's off the first book of the Dark Materials series, simple read which I should have read much earlier, but didn't.

Enjoying everything just that little bit more right now.

We live in a placid island of ignorance amongst the black seas of infinity.

Tuesday, March 02, 2004

Drugs. It's all about the drugs.

THANK YOU FOR THE STRESSBALL.

It fucking rocks.

But yeah, tarded and all, see what happens.

utterly painful, insanely tired, very repressed *sigh*.

Monday, March 01, 2004

That was tiring.

Was too goddamned tired today, I really shouldn't bitch, but I will. I always seem to need more sleep, and never seem to have enough energy.

Oscars was good/meh, I have work to do, and I need to start fixing up my life. I've been saying that too much for me to believe it nowadays.

Need to sink myself into some sort of pseudo-intellectual hobby, or some sort of creative one.

Go listen to Interpol or something. I certainly can't be bothered to speak.

Sunday, February 29, 2004

Err, what the hell?

Something odd happened, and I'm sorta confused.

Shoulda done some work yesterday, but became all lazy and stupid.

Inconsequential? Meaningless? yeah, that's how it goes...


People are stupid.

Saturday, February 28, 2004

I now know I shouldn't try and make milo ice cubes.

Did nothing, read, played Icey dale, read some more, and did more nothing.

I need some sort of purpose in my life, i'll figure out something. Maybe it's that productive thing.

Meh. Nothing much to say.

Wednesday, February 25, 2004

So near, so close, yet so very, very far away...

I need to stop being such an ass at school, i'll try my best to stop.

Felt disconnected most of today. On the one hand, I like this feeling. The cold, vast desolation is quite soothing in it's own sense. Alone. On the other, I absolutely hate it. The feeling of closeness and security you get from other people is nice in its own right, so I probably should be trying and breaking this feeling of detachment right now. I've done something, though, I guess time will tell and all that.

Feeling very optimistic, aren't I?

there's something that's invisible
there's some things you can't hide
try to detect you when i'm sleeping
in a wave you say goodbye

Crappy link for you.

Vote smart.

Use this if you ever want to find out whether your candidate has a yellow canary named Sunshine.

I might do a as real as I can make it post later.

oh look it stopped snowing...

Monday, February 23, 2004

Faith and solidarity.

Running rapidly out of energy, and it's only been one day.

Took the day off, actually did shit, still not enough, is it ever going to be enough?

The thoughts, the images, the pain, the laughter, the love, everything, everything is rushing back.

The poisoned honey finally caught up. After all, how much could I have and get away with?

Faith and solidarity.

Love and solidarity.
I had seven faces thought i knew which one to wear
I'm sick of spending these lonely nights training myself not to care...
It's up to me now to turn on the bright lights
(got to be some more change in my life)

Thank you to everyone. I really can't say that enough.

Can't say anything right now. Bye.

Knowledge is just opinion you trust enough to act upon.

Everything works out in due time, I guess. For better or for worse.

This 'human' thing is interesting. Whatever happened to dehumanised rationalism?

People are always telling you that change is a good thing. What they're really telling you is that something that you didn't want to happen at all has happened.

Like that quote. Guess which movie.

Wasted a day AND 20 bucks.

Did crappy, pointless (mostly), driving thingy today, featuring HAEMOPLEGICS for our amusement. *grumbles*

Why do I feel the worst just after getting up from sleep?

Life is but a passing memory.

Lost in translation.

Not a bad romcom, it's a pretty good pomo movie.

Please don't kill me.

Not a bad sort of day, never actually got to do what I was supposed to do.

Thanks for the donut :)

Or doughnut if you really care.

Love is like a cigar. Once it goes out, you can't light it again. It's just not the same.

Bonus points to you if you tell me who said that quote.

Pretzelstar.

That word was a lot more useful than I ever expected it to be.

Bitching below, you have been warned.

*sigh* I had a perfectly awful plan, and it was doing incredibly badly, and what do I do? In a single moment of weakness, I screw up everything and do the right thing. I'm such a tard.

Today wasn't helped by a headache, though Minties modern class seems fun.

Life is the cruelest joke.

The truth is the kindest thing we can give in the end.

Every now and then, The memories creep in
A breeze and blue skies, The trees and you and I
But if my old life is done, I guess that i've moved on
To new faces and strange places,
Here at the final push to the sum
If my old life is done, then, What have i become?

Did my whole manic-depression thing today, flipped from complete apathy to a sort of crazy stupid me. I really have to do something about that.

Actually enjoying school, Motherwell makes english damn interesting. 2 hours just slips by.

What have I become?

Hello.

You have to keep running to stay in the same place.

Mourning for a life never lived.

Guh Buh Duh Huh Wha?

(yes, I know, it's a quote, out of context, but I don't really care.)

Did everything I wasn't supposed to today, and gave myself away at like thirty different points. Why oh Why do I bother to try?

and Eliot is NOT pathetic. Well done Jared, on the principle thing.

So many days, so many nights.

Is it ever going to end?

Things are starting to get worse.

It's a mad world...

Another one of those goodish/badish days. Baked in the sun, watched Donnie Darko.

Tis all insane. Or gods will.

Bleh.

Gah. Can't cope with this heat. Warm today.

Oh dear god. Listening to The lips after 4 or so months is AMAZING. My mouth is dry, I can barely speak and I have difficulty forming words or thoughts in general. Intense does not come close to describe it. It's probably even better than listening to it for the first time. Oh god hold me. Opponent process theory rears it head again, and it proves so true. Masochism is useful for something.

Her name is Yoshimi - she's a black belt in karate
Working for the city - she has to discipline her body -
Cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat these
Evil machines - I know she can beat them -

Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me

For lack of a better title, HAMMER TIME!

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

*makes funny wavy arm motion* goodish/badish day today. Ummm, don't want to say anything cause I don't want to. Hoping people are having fun, i'm going to go sleep or something. Bye.

Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
And homes, places we've grown,
All of us are done for.

And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.

Oh, all that I know,
There's nothing here to run from,
'Cause everybody here's got somebody to lean on.

I will surprise you sometime
I'll come around
I will surprise you sometime
I'll come around
when you're down

How arthousy.

Half-decent day today, to put in a cliched arthouse phrase, a ray of sunshine on an otherwise bleak sky.

Had fun, still skipping more of school, and my back hurts.

And Jared, I probably dropped those little thingys in your car. Sorry. Don't give things in my hands.

And am I the only who still remembers Nationstates?

In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.

Night all.

I have to wake up.

Gah. My lower back hurts, and I don't have jet lag, but still odd sleeping patterns.

That aside, I probably shouldn't be doing this, but meh, it wastes time.

I need a good new hobby.

And I just learned of some very, very good news. Pixar has decided to axe it's ties to Disney. Ooh yes, this'll be good.

I'm going to stick quotes here, everyday as a policy, i'll try to put one in everyday, but no guarantees. Considering that i'm ultra-obsessed with Stalin quotes right now (the man has produced a large number of good quotes), i'll put one of his more famous ones today.

A death of one man is a tragedy; a million a statistic.

See you all soon.
