So. I am talking to dear ol' someone about anime and all sorts while preparing dinner. It occurrs to me that a lot that we watch, that she watches (in fact, one of her favourites) is magic-related. Spells, explosions, chantings, the whole shebang.

Then, I remember. She thinks Harry Potter is Lucifer incarnate.

I love the storms. I love watching pelts of rain falling on the glass doors, walking against the vector of the wind, listening to its effects against the window panes. There is something majestic about flashes of lightning and the booming of thunder.

I love autumn. I love the therapeutic blend of yellow, orange and red hues, the way leaves get stuck ( Read more... )

Seen in an email informing students about an important seminar:

"Reading your mind? Using brain imaging to understand mental processes."

By Professor David Nutt

A yellow balloon with a printed smiley face had the misfortune of finding its way into our hands one morning. It was blown up, made into a lab mascot and ordered to sing the lab anthem using word bubbles containing the lyrics from Paris Hilton's "Stars are Blind."

All too soon, my foot landed on it. It was an honest mistake. Like, totally.

But it was ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my greatest pleasure to present to you the ways one can win the World Cup:

3. Outstanding diving (be sure to land on one's arms and clutch one's head 2 seconds later)

2. Mafia-terrorised referees

And finally...

1. World-class acting

I Must be Emo

Dear Diary,
Mood: Apathetic
My life is spiraling downward. I couldn't get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry Concert. It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs like 'Stab My Heart Because I Love You,' and 'Rip Apart My Soul,' and of course, 'Stabby Rip Stab Stab." and it doesn't help that I couldn ( Read more... )

We fought a good fight but we lost. Considering all circumstances, the Socceroos performed above and beyond expectations, defending a 0-0 until the final 3 minutes when we gave way to the penalty.

Seeing that everyone thinks they were going to get trashed beyond recognition, to have been able to make it this far is just...awesome.

I feel so...sad

It rained today. No, really.

Japan drew with Croatia. How sick is that? They were supposed to win! Win, I tell you! 90 minutes and we didn't see a single goal. And just how many blunders did the Japanese commit last night? Yoshi(Good)katsu(a type of Chicken) Kawaguchi's near-failure to rescue a ball kicked in by his fellow teammate, Alex's fat ( Read more... )

I am honoured to announce that I have been told to, "Eh, blog more lah." I realise I have the propensity to write rubbish which actually amuses some people, and for that, I am glad. I am glad that this distracts people from their 'insipid, consumer-driven lives' if only for a few moments until, of course, they turn off from my total lack of writing ( Read more... )

This tagging business...can be fun, though uses up too many of my brain cells.

1. Watching Full Metal Panic! series, While You Were Sleeping, 10 Things I Hate About You and Suddenly 30 alone and undisturbed.

2. Painting one's nails while watching a trashy-good movie.

3. A new Dean Koontz / Ann Brashares / Meg Cabot / Harry Potter book and a mug of hot ( Read more... )
