Capitalism is what?!

"Capitalism is not only the most efficient and productive system, it is also the most just system with the greatest benefit for all people."--some person who wrote an article on Helium.

Right column, last line.

Anyway, umm...nigga what?

I respectfully digress, thank you. I've been influenced enough by left-leaning Social Science professors to believe that bullshit. GDP growth ≠ a nation's well-being. That's all. Merci, danke, thank you, tack.

Adam and the Queen

So...has Queen asked Adam Lambert to be their frontman already?

I doubt it, but Adam could easily be the next freaking Freddie Mercury, if not better.

Now now, I wonder what Idol producers are gonna do for next year. There won't be a next Adam who will invigorate a cash-cow that's drier than a hyena's bleached femur in the African savannah.

BooooO!

Idol just lost alllll credibility.

Boooo...congrats Kris Allen. You now have a $1M contract for one single that you can't even sing properly lol.

le french is le pissed at me for spoiling her again

So apparently this is the third time.

1) Jenny's death on The L Word.

2) Kumar leaving House.

3) Bella and Edward getting back together.

Oooook...seriously. The last one. That's obvious, it's a given. Ugh. Grr.

redial for glambert

i can sing the dial tones for 1 866 43657 05.

therefore i have no life. but even in that regard, i still found kris allen to be boring.

Norgay and Terminators

So, I'm not the only one pissed at Norgay winning the 2009 ESC.

I was rooting for Estonia, or Iceland at least.

But Norgay?! Come on!

Anyway, more reason to get pissed on a beautiful Sunday morning (I'm not religious, I just like this particular Sunday Morning because the clouds are out and it hasn't reached 30C yet) is the fact that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will not be renewed for a 3rd season in the fall, but Dollhouse is.

Come on! Terminator is one of the biggest franchises in the world. We sit through drivel like T3, and then comes this wonderful series, and Fox takes it away because they put it on the slots with the kiss of death, first on Monday primetime, and then on Friday primetime. Put it on a Wednesday and you will see ratings soar like crazy. No one freaking watches on a Monday, first 'cause of football, and second 'cause teenagers are cramming on homework. No one freaking watches on a Friday night because, well, most normal people who would otherwise be drooling over Summer Glau are out somewhere away from the tube, you know...having a normal life.

So, GRRRR...Fox just went 4400 on me. Goddammit, I want my Summer Glau! Eliza Dushku is not enough.

...did I mention that I'm a TV whore?

The first in months

Tonight, t.A.T.u. performed at this year's Eurovision opening ceremony in Moscow. They lipsynced, awkwardly and with mistakes, their 2003 ESC entry, Ne Ver Ne Boisya Ne Prosi.

Imho, they were SHYTE.

But I want their clothes.

Despite the warrant of arrest, I had a conversation with you

I was lucky to have found you, sitting in a newly renovated hallway for your lunch duty, annoyed by the continuous stream of students with a complete disregard for authority. Out of the corner of my eye, your dark hair was unmistakeable. You haven't had a haircut since we last met, have you ?

So I turned right, and by the grace of something, you turned towards me, which made me realize that my infinitesimal myopia, is indeed, a handicap, for I couldn't see how your facial muscles stretched for the smile, for the call of my name. But I quickened my pace. You stood up for a hug, which I gladly gave, and you gladly returned, while squeezing my right hand.

You need filth

The dog and the Flask

de Charles Baudelaire

«--My beautiful dog, by good dog, my dear doggie, come over and have a sniff of this excellent perfume, bought from the best perfumer in the city. And the dog, wagging its tail, which, I believe, in these poor beasts corresponds to laughter and smiles, approaches and curiously places its moist nose on the open flask; then, fearfully recoiling all of a sudden, he barks at me, in a reproaching manner.

«--Oh! Miserable dog, if I had offered you a bag of excrement, you would have sniffed it with delight and perhaps, even devoured it. Thus you, unworthy companion of my sad life, you resemble the world, to which one must never present the delicate perfumes that exasperate it, but rather carefully chosen filth.»

So what has changed between Baudelaire's time and ours?

The weaponry.

His inner lesbian family has a voice

OMG *squeeeeeeeal* Jenny is soooo hawt *squeeeeeal*

My inner lesbian finally has a voice! haha people would disown me if they saw me write that. That was my thought just now. But fuck them lol

I've been watching too many sappy romances lately, so please bear with me

My cardiac muscles are pumping
Like an overworked steamship
Waiting for its last voyage
In an English coast, tasting the
Coal covered brine of dead
Marine life and lost shoes.

Dialed your home again, except for
The final number, hoping that
An interruption will take place
Before I hit 9, a lousy excuse
For a silly fear of conversation.

Press 9, now press talk, but
Ten sewing machines crisscross
My fingers with stitches, my guitar
Strings for threads, composing
Ballads across my skin.

Unfold my macbook, and you're
There, listening to the news
You tell me about the weather
And how you're listening to
the winds, waiting for her.

Run by my house and grab my pussy!

Anime : Noir

I finally finished Noir. 26 episodes of pure art, of human relationships laced with truths and ironies, polished with blades and bullets.

Noir is about two female assassins, one an amnesiac, and the other still bearing the scars of her murdered parents. Calling themselves "Noir," they battle powerful elements only known as The Soldats to find out who they really are.

What I really loved about movie is the fact that the leads are TWO females, and they're assassins, and they kick major ass (and it's set mainly in Paris, so that's a perk too). The story is just as dark as the title, but it ended with that fuzzy warm feeling that I rarely feel nowadays. Well shyte. This isn't a review.

Next order of business, ULTRAMAN!

Edit: Ok, I still have that fuzzy warm feeling. Darn lesbian undertones. It was like watching Gabby and Xena all over again.

Mireille,

I have a very bad premonition, that's why I'm writing you this
letter. At that time Chloe told me that Soldats is my home. I may
never be able to see you again. There is another me --- I can feel it.

It's alright for you to kill me. But, if at that time, I don't have
enough time for my last words --- I can't bear the thought of that. I
have something I must tell you.

Mireille, I was alone. Always alone. I never had anyone. It was
terrifying and painful.

But I wasn't alone when I found out that ``Noir'' was a name for two.
That was, of course, shocking, but I felt a small happiness in my
heart. You were there for me. Mireille, I was happy that you were
there. I was happy. Truly, truly.

Mireille, whom I cherish.

I can't find the right words.
Thank you, Mireille.
Thank you.

Mireille, whom I cherish is "Daisuki na Mireille" in Japanese. Now...I've read somewhere that "daisuki" is closer to the verb "love" than the verb "like," and couples in Japan regularly use this endearment.

SO, I am convinced about the sapphic subtext. ;-)

There was one scene where Chloe kisses Kirika, full-on yeah, and Kirika doesn't react. Oh, and Chloe hugs Kirika, full-on yeah, while they were bathing in some nasty pond for Altena's ritual, again Kirika doesn't react.

I wish I had a screenshot, but the gods of copyright prohibit me from legally capturing one. So, oh well.

I love, love, love this series. I love it more than Fushigi Yuugi. I think it's the feminist attitude. :P

HAHA

Aaand this is how filipinos react to heroes. :D

Manny Pacquiao VS Ricky Hatton (LIVE) May 2, 2009 Las Vegas, Nevada

Teh winz.

PACMAN WIN

So this was my night (so far).

21:00 - a few minutes ago : watch boring boxing matches, waiting for Manny Pacquaio vs Ricky Hatton

A few minutes ago - a few minutes ago : bam bam bam bam, down, bam bam bam, down, bell.

BAM BAM BAM LEFT JAB + right jab + left hook + RIGHT HOOK. Bitch down. Hitman misses mark by 10 miles. PACMAN WIN. Round 2, 2:59

DUDE! That was so ANTICLIMACTIC. Hahahahahahahaha!

I wanted BLOOD, flying teeth, bursting eyelides, projectile flesh, acidic spit, dislocated jaws!

Oh hey. I'll officially be a freshman again

So yesterday I ended my freshman year as an FSU student.

Ended my life as an FSU student, actually.

It was the most unfulfilling crap I have ever done.

Sorry.

Plus all these damn budget cuts.

Thank god I'm going to Manchester.

Swinging Manchester

From my teacher crush, on Facebook.

Rosel & --------, Thanks so much for the black sheep soap & the card. It was great to get to know both of you this semester. ---------, I'll be in touch about poems. Rosel, I want to hear all about swinging Manchester. In the words of Borat, I like you!

Someone died from joy this morning.
