knowing Life

"I'm so sober I dont know who I am anymore"

from a friend.

Back. Again & No Standing.

Back after a month of traveling and a second round to Queensland - covering Brissie and Gold Coast this time. Of the states so far, I have to say I like Queensland the best. Underground bus stops and dedicated bus-only tunnels and fly-overs were great. So were the catamaran ferries. In a month, was fortunate enough to travel the entire Eastern side of Australia, and Tasmania's next on the list. So. No standing, onward.

And. the computer's more or less fixed.

All good things!

Back

A new revelation of sorts whilst reflecting on the art of knowing.

"Understanding is nothing without practice and form." In other news...

Apologies for the long hiatus. Reaquainted myself with the Wandering Planet side of things, and just got back from a long spot of traveling with loved ones up Australia's east coast - the Gold Coast, Sydney and Canberra.

My laptop's still taking a long vacation, so updates here might be a little intermittent.

Pitch Black

Love this quote from my now top 5 electronic dance acts, Pitch Black from New Zealand.

WE ARE PITCH BLACK OF BORG - FUSISTANCE IS RUTILE, YOUR ASS WILL BE LAMINATED!

In other news, my mac has taken a vacation, her hard drive decided to take a good long rest, and as a result, I reckon I've lost a fair bit permanently. All good though, things happen as they happen. So I apologise to everyone if I begin to prove difficult to find online over the next month or so.

Boyzvoice

Bloody funny this film. Just caught it on SBS.

A mockumentary on the mad spate of Norweigian Pop boy bands of the 90s, the soundtrack is hilarious. THey actually created a real fictional boy band and made it to actual charts, spoofing all the other real boy bands along the way. Must watch!!!



How corny and smart!!! And the Playmobil parady too. Wowee. I recommend watching all of them videos when you have some time for a relaxing good laugh.

And ths one's rather funny too! Listen to the lyrics for this one - a pop star lamenting that his girlfriend all of 12 years old lied about her age, making him believe she was 16 all along.

in other thoughts,

Massive End-of-sem mode

So here it is, nearing the end of a pretty quick semester, 13 weeks in all.

And how do i prepare for it? Make some good teh. haha coffee shop style with tea dust et al.



And oh yes, this has been a year of massive Japanese anime consumption. Here is what's been keeping me busy on cold nights in order of kena-ness.
1. Samurai Champloo - best!!!
2. Cowboy Bebop
3. Full Metal Alchemist
4. Dessert Punk

Fried rice and everything nice

Domestication vibes are abound again. Came home after a long day at work and craved for some wholesome goodness. So there I went - Bob's tomato-flavoured fried rice.

And have I ever mentioned I love Alan Parson's project? everyone should have a listen! The penultimate two-man band.
