did it hit home, darling?

Paul Bettany's in Wimbledon with Kirsten Dunst. Paul Bettany.

My single distinction was my A2 in Lit. First time, too. I've been getting like 50% in all my past tests/exams.

I'll be busy trying to regulate my sleeping hours in the next few weeks.

P.S. Grow my hair out or cut it Beatles-esque?

Tehe.

What a sweetheart. Sly's been in his own band since he was sixteen or so. I think it's meant to be vaguely visual.

The possibility.

Tue, 28 Sep 2004 17:19:30 GMT

Hey. I totally want to watch Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow, cause I mean, Jude Law, retro!futuristic, so cool. But won't be able to. Dammit.

Oh but, Gwyneth Paltrow as annoying reporter type love interest, and Angelina Jolie as faked British accent eyepatched commander person? No thanks sort of thing.

Meant to indulge in the 50 Things About Me You Really Don't Need To Know meme, but couldn't go on at #23. And now. If you can't sleep at night do you have insomnia? What a question.

Havea.

If you're wanting, ~~two hundred and twenty~~ three hundred and four Death To Smoochy caps.

Trainspotting: if I wanted a drug movie I'd watch Fear & Loathing, maybe even Samurai Champloo 9. But but. Hee. Skinny & Scottish accented Ewan, Begbie violence, the kinda nice soundtrack. ...yeah. :>

Ten things that need to be said, but never really will be, addressed to anyone - living, dead, imaginary, regardless of whether they exist or you exist or either one of you know of the aforementioned.

01. I wish wish wish I had been a better person, could've gotten to know you better, could've lived with you through to secondary school. It would've been great. We had the love, we did. :)

02. I want you to come back and say oh hey remember me? You had the fucking blackest curls and eyelashes. I would love to see you again, see how you are and things.

03. You are the one person I've ever had a simmery kind of annoyance/anger at. I don't know man. I love you still.

04. You said hi to me and I remember things like that. It's cool.

05. If you were here. If you were here I would totally hunt you down and get to know you. :>

06. I think you're a piece of shit and I don't know how you live with yourself but then I never could understand how people like you go through life.

07. I don't think you'll ever grow up.

08. Oh wow I think you and I should have a scandal. :>

09. I hope hope hope you've forgotten me.

10. I think you're the shit.

edit Trainspotting has made me go all lovey over tight tapered jeans. It's super hot. Oh wow. Hold on let me think this through a bit.

Sun, 19 Sep 2004 10:22:49 GMT

Intensely sad! :<

Anyway, I'm doing that Comment with your name and I'll tell you what I think of you meme so comment with your name. Aand I'll tell you what I think of you.

Sat, 18 Sep 2004 07:22:14 GMT

It's no longer oh-just-a-soft-spot for Kra. So.. fullblown fanaticism, yes.

And hey, I recall really liking the recent Versace ads. I have to find magazines or catalogues or something.

Things to do in this week before I have to start studying again!
~~1. Finish Beauty & The Beast.~~
~~2. Watch Trainspotting.~~
~~3. Watch & cap Death To Smoochy.~~
4. Make a skirt.
~~5. Finish Ambush At Fort Bragg~~ & burn another copy for Shimona.
6. Finish tee-heeing over The Full Monty.
7. Find a lj name that isn't darjeeling :<
~~8. Watch Lady & The Tramp.~~

I had the greatest dream last night. There was this really great mmorpg that you could play in a MSN conversation window, and it had a really, really good secret inside thing that had to do with angels and when we found out what it was we were all omg!! that's so clever and really good! Aand then I switched dreams to this one I've been having a lot about being in Japan, aha.

I'm really into shoes now. And mintgreen retro type skirts. And yellow things.

Tue, 14 Sep 2004 08:02:03 GMT

So something happened and suddenly I'm left with nothing to do, and I guess it's a good thing because of exams but I'm still bitter. >[ But it's a good thing. Yeah. :<

Need a change of layout/icons asap.

I talk about the weather.

Sat, 11 Sep 2004 14:00:50 GMT

And so, with my dad's Phil Collins cd on we drove past a road up which a man carrying an umbrella was walking and it looked like it might lead right up to Mt Asakusa; and neighbourhoods that looked so terrifically Australian; and there was a rainbow because it rained with the sun out. We went to eat at this Thai restaurant that was featured in the papers recently. The tom yam soup was the best I've ever tasted, and if you drink three spoonfuls (which was all I could handle) and then stop for a moment, the sour-sweet-heat will hit the top of your mouth and throat. I couldn't finish my (tiny) bowl, but it was so damn good. Have to say: I love Singapore the same way I love MGS.

:>

Fri, 10 Sep 2004 07:30:56 GMT

"The Dolphin II". 842 KB so watch! It was a little more complicated to make and it's maybe a little off-beat, but ehh I'm too lazy to really perfect it, and there's this thing at the back of my mind that tells me shouldn't I be studying?, etc.

Guruguru Eigakan makes the GREATEST SOUNDTRACK EVER.

This is a post with pictures. :>

Thu, 09 Sep 2004 10:38:30 GMT

It's microwaved canned mushrooms, toasted frozen hashbrowns and a type of pita-like bread you can buy at Ikea.

It's good, no really.

And this is my lunchtime book.

This is my room on any given day. It is no indication of how the rest of my house looks like.

This is what the rest of my house looks like. It reminds me of Purgatory.

This is the state of my desk. You'd think I was busy studying.

That pile of books/papers/long lost relatives is approximately 15 cm tall.

I took pictures today. And made movies. Movies, yes. The Dolphin, and (this is an old one) Tiger In The Kitchen. They're both less than a megabyte. Go watch! I like "The Dolphin" best. :>

AH.

Thu, 09 Sep 2004 00:14:02 GMT

Go to this post, the part just above the screencaps, and try telling me that is not the coolest. thing. ever. I'm really leaning to a Beatles one because they're instantly recognizable, and they're fun & quirky so it'd be cool. And you know how those rock bands with bad lyrics like to squeeze everything into this tiny room and then jump around a lot and lean in close to the camera? That'd be fun too. So please please please please PLEASE let's do it!

(Also a bit down the page someone comments on how they'd like to make videos for songs that don't have one.)

It's mad to be up this early, we left for breakfast an hour earlier, and the prata was so good but the curry was so thin you couldn't feel it in your mouth.

Wed, 08 Sep 2004 13:25:53 GMT

I have Shoxx, and it has:

1. Plastic Tree happyhappy.
2. A clear shot of that Doremidan guy with the hot lips and nice hair, so I can bring it the next time I go for a haircut.
3. Kra! My soft spot will not stop growing.

Shiina Ringo has absolutely the coolest kickass videos ever. And she's very pretty, and her music is so cool.

I got a haircut on Sunday. It's ok.

And. It seems I spend most of my day sleeping but I am still not getting enough sleep. '_'

edit And also, recently:

1. Nip The Buds, Shoot The Kids by Kenzaburo Oe. It has sex, and it will rape you so very badly.
2. Micro Fiction, an anthology of short short stories (< 250), entries to The World's Best Short Short Story Contest. It's totally the contest for me. If I win I'll get cash and a crate of oranges, which I'll mail to Shimona.

Speaking of which, it'd be cool to wake up one morning with a crate of oranges on my doorstep.

Oh please don't make me go back.

Fri, 03 Sep 2004 11:47:06 GMT

They are, how do you say it, IMMENSELY KYOOT. And they make me alliterate.

Things to do:
1. Tuition homework.
2. Draw up study plan.
3. Find envelopes.

Not alone!

Thu, 02 Sep 2004 10:11:06 GMT

:O INUKAI SUMMIT?! THREE?! In Japan apparently there are whole CONVENTIONS, that is, HALLS FULL OF RAVING FANGIRLS and an ENTIRE DAY SET ASIDE in dedication to the inukai love! I am both appalled and enthralled.

Briefly.

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 13:09:54 GMT

Champloo 9, you are my favourite episode ever and I rank you up there with Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

After months of waiting Death Note is finally out, in stores that is, and Ryuuku is so totally my favourite character.

edit I have been wanting Infernal Affairs. Let's go watch all three movies when we're good and free again.

Nietzsche.

Sat, 28 Aug 2004 01:55:48 GMT

For personal reference mostly, but if you were ever interested. I'm trying to take down the main whazzits, to kind of get it all in understandable-to-me order because the author writes like a don't-know-what I suppose it can't be helped it's a Very Short Intro and thus must be highly condensed, and am adding on as I go along.

- "How can existence be made bearable, once we grasp what it is really like?"
- "What is it in us that urges us always to seek the truth?"
- "the most optimistic expression of a pessimistic world-view".
- "not to give pain an automatically negative role in life; at the same time "possessed a vision of the world as a place of horror."

1.
Apolline - the beautiful appearance.
Dionysiac - the intolerable reality.

"...he compares Apolline art (sculptures, paintings, epics) with dreams; Dionysiac art (music, tragedies) is aligned rather... with intoxication (Rausch), the low way in which the principle of individuation is felt to be overcome, the loss of clarity, and the mergiing of individualities."

2.
Anti-rationalist.

Wissenschaft - knowledge, science, "systematic investigation".
Weisheit - wisdom, instinct.

"...in all productive people instinct is the power of creativity & affirmation, and consciousness assumes a critical and dissuasive role, in Socrates instinct becomes the critic, consciousness the creator- a monstrosity..." - Birth of a Tragedy.

3.
Apolline-Dionysiac duality.

"'These two very different tendencies walk side by side, usually in violent opposition to one another, inciting one another to even more violent births,' until they seem 'at last to beget the work of art that is as Dionysiac as it is Apolline- Attic tragedy.'"

"The pleasure produced by the tragic myth has the same origin as the pleasurable perception of dissonance in music. The Dionysian, with its primal pleasure experienced even in pain, is the common womb of music and tragic myth." - Birth of a Tragedy.

I finally have my Nietzsche (well, A Very Short Introduction), but I passed up Harold Pinter for a collection of Finnish short stories because it's (not!)Finnish! And more useful to me. However, there is no book on crocheting in the Westmall library. I'm deeply disappointed. How is it the most exciting thing to happen to me in weeks is a trip to the library? Something needs to be done. I say we put up swastika posters all over the walls in school, and put little fish into the beakers in the science lab. (The underwear thing and the soap dispenser and water cooler things are lovely as well, but I'm very much more into swastikas/fish than underwear or soap dispensers or water coolers at the moment.)

In other news:
1. SanaYuki, jellyfish. Am unable to grasp dynamics of relationship; am afraid shall have to watch more Tenipuri.
2. Eggs are suddenly very rare and expensive. My mother is sad as she cannot bake cakes.
3. Yes. This is the cutest thing you've ever seen. Crocheted sushi!

edit Yes, Snape. That you are. XD

Tue, 24 Aug 2004 14:54:59 GMT

If anyone is going to Kino or KKnM anytime soon, tell me? And help me get the ~~September~~ October issue of Shoxx. Thank you.

And good night.

Mon, 16 Aug 2004 07:37:26 GMT

Heh. Somethingawful.com makes fun of Japanese goth fashion. And here's Part 1, but I prefer the current part.

Boy am I stoned today! But, yesterday I went to eat good ice cream so now my good ice cream place list looks like this:

1. Wild Hibiscus.
2. That Serene Centre one.

Illegal yes!

There's a song on the Dandy Warhols' Dandys Rule OK CD called It's A Fast Driving Rave Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes and it's sixteen minutes and oh four seconds long.

The Village: it's v. pretty and the music is lovely. Admittedly, the perpetual non-abbreviated dialogue got to me at first, and when she emerged from the woods- well, it's a pretty hard story to pull off non-laughably I think, and he did it well because I only felt like laughing, and only for a very brief moment, too.

Adrien Brody Brody Brody! I never thought too much of him up till now, yes now, when he acts as a retard. My falling in love moment was when he drooled. Swoon! Am serious.

Have I mentioned my sister is into Super Dollfies? She got one at the beginning of the year, and at the moment several dollfie owners are over at my house making their dolls do unmentionable things to each other, also their dolls are male and are dressed in fishnet and black leather, a lot like their owners actually.

p.s. softplaces and I are making a making of a movie.

(is ashamed!)

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 10:26:33 GMT

It is a ~~possibility~~ fact that I slice the ugliest mushrooms ever.

p.s. snowmadder, softplaces, tomorrow when where The Village?

Lately:

Thu, 12 Aug 2004 13:46:14 GMT

Asada Hiroyuki. His style's something of a cross between Kubo Taito's and Obata Takeshi's: really cool but not as masculine as Kubo's, much dreamier than Obata's. He loves sun and shadows and big concrete places with lots of sky. You will fall in love with every one of his characters.

edit Dear self: could you be any less motivated? Prelims are in a week, you ass.

Things you'll get done by the end of this week:
~~1. The Venice chapter.~~
~~2. Crescent Girls' AM 1 & 2.~~
~~3. Gather Biology notes into a neat ready-to-study pile.~~

And for the record? I've decided I want to go work for National Geographic.

Mon, 09 Aug 2004 14:07:25 GMT

cross-stich!Hyotei!! The cutest thing you've ever seen.

Plus, I've watched The Sound of Music, and concluded that Rikkai would make a perfect Sound of Music AU, so if I can make Photoshop available to me in the next few days, I might do stuff >3

And for some manga trivia,

Tee hee.

Fri, 06 Aug 2004 16:42:45 GMT

I want desperately to watch The Little Mermaid again! So if you have, please lend. And also The Beauty And The Beast. And I've never watched Lady And The Tramp. D:

I got The Land Before Time working again, so hopefully I'll be able to get Fantasia and Bedknobs & Broomsticks running nicely too.
