And she's real pretty, and she's real into you

And i can effectively quote songstress Jenny Lewis without sounding not straight as songstress Jenny Lewis sings abo... 'ang on, singing that doesnt make me sound not straight, but because of general stereotypical songs all directed at the opposite sex, that would make me quoting this similar to talking to someone not straight. the best.

I read today a livejournal, the lower form of blog, or the more priavte and therefore higher form of blog, by a finnish girl who writes one thing she learns everyday. It's quite interesting and i could learn a thing or two from her. So i have, i will write one thing that i learned today. Except she usually writes more than one thing she learns so i will write more than one.

- You get out what you put in
This is very much true, you will receive the generosity or cheerfulness that you grant to another person. Unless said person is socially awkward. I learnt this whilst working on a till. Stand depressed you'll feel worse as your frown reflects right in front of you. Smile, and you're smiled at :D

-Daydreaming it is hard to get out of
wha?

-Coffee is nicer when its winter
I didnt learn this today but i would just like to warn those who read this that coffee is nicer when its winter. Its still nice when its summer but it does not achieve the effect of the sun. Or maybe what i mean is coffee is nicer when the coffee itself isnt cold.

-Films are easier to understand when you listen to the dialogue, not just look at the pictures.
A bit like books... and atlas'

Since the sun died, the second time

the suitcase of my future stares back at me, during its desperate plight to defend itself from all the bed bugs you wished would never bite me. motionless, circles of influence tower on their ruler raked home-furniture - who would have thought something so solid and straight could save so much?

its been about two minutes since the sun died the second time. electricity is not as it should be.

~TRANSLATION OF MY SPONTANEOUS POETRY~

I am staring at my monitor whilst it runs Norton antivirus. I look up slightly to the sight of my CD collection on my shelf. This provokes thought. Two minutes ago, my top light flickered.


I like the thought of the sun dying a second time, i like that line. I like the sun being a representation of my top light. I like my top light briefly being compared to an enormous life controlling source of energy, a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nucleur furnice where hydrogen is burnt into helium at temperatures of millions of degrees. I like to hold the lightswitch to that.

I once wrote, perhaps about the sun,

"or baby you could come with me to the sun, maybe we could burn some calories."

in this case, the sun is infinite foods in Brighton. This shop is heavenly, you go here to enjoy a nice salad or herbal tea. But they also sell vegan chocolate cake, the only chocolate cake i can actually eat, so burn calories i DONT.

Quizzed

In a desperate attempt to earn a free subway or something i was asked the following question

Q: what planet is closer to the Coruscant system, Endor or Hoth?

I answered Endor because of the Death Star's movements, but i was wrong. Of course it's hoth, Hoth is right in the middle of the galaxy(i think) near Coruscant! Endor is way out. Man i was so angry, i cried in the subway toilet.

(A: Hoth)

Tuesdays Menu

La de da, I am cooking. Now i do not have experience in the cooking department so i called the help of an old rustic looking cookbook to help. I decided to make "lime and walnut chicken stir fry".

I don't have either lime or walnuts so instead i used the following ingredients
Ingredients:
2 slices of chicken breast
4 spring onions
1/2 a yellow pepper
1 apple
grated ginger
sunflower oil

I improvised most of this, therefore it is truly mine as opposed to rustic looking cookbook.and It tastes nice.

1. chop up chicken using a sharp knife. The best technique is to apply a large amount of force to the chicken from the knife, so it is well and truly bludgeoned. Please put these chicken parts to one side

2. Get 1/2 a pepper, 4 spring onions and an apple and chop them up into small portions.

3. Put a wok on a hob and twist the knob to "9". Now put some sunflower oil in (ambiguous amount) followed by the vegetables/fruit. Stir these until the sunflower oil starts spitting at you

4. Throw in those chicken pieces (or quorn pieces if you suffer from vegeterian) you prepared earlier and stir more. Wear eye protection during this process for the sunflower oil will now be err oxidating and it is dangerous.

5. Put a safety net or wok guard over the wok to prevent spitting onto your kitchen surfaces. Wait 3-5 minutes and then pour contents onto a plate.

6. Enjoy! (eat)

Serving suggestion

I used some old sunglasses as my eye protection and they did the trick. Also make sure the chicken is cooked because otherwise you could get food poisoning. to check that chicken is cooked bite a piece and if it tastes like chicken then it is cooked.

Poets.

I got an email from somebody called Christophe Dominguez, subject name Re: iomen dedicate, thus suggesting i emailed him first (i didn't). I would have thought it was a piece of poetry from an anonymous stalker but it came with a picture of tablets ranging from viagra ($3.33) to xanax ($1.42). I'm not going to reply.

Free Starch for All

azzt_rhell: Greetings fellow Sentinent
BespinFlies: Aah. hello
* Azzt_Rhell thinks that Bespin actually floats, not flies...
BespinFlies: Its play on words my friend
BespinFlies: But come to think of it it's pretty pointless
azzt_rhell: No. Really.
* Azzt_Rhell causes Bespin to stop floating/flying.
BespinFlies: I was thinking of a Fly (noun) on Bespin
* Azzt_Rhell watches Bespin go boom.
* BespinFlies cried
* BespinFlies changed name to Bespinnomore
* Azzt_Rhell laughs.

I asked Azzt_Rhell what he was like and he said

* Azzt_Rhell is a human.
* Azzt_Rhell spends WAY too much time on his computer.
* Azzt_Rhell likes Star Wars, Star Trek, B5, and M:TG

Actually it could be a really pretty woman... flirting with me on a star wars chat room. That would be bizarre. To be honest we only have 1 and a half out of 5 things in common, so it would never work. (I spend quite a bit of time on my computer, dislike Star Trek, and don't know what B5 and M:TG are)

I want to change my name but that would mean Azzt_Rhell is better than me. He isnt talking anymore

Starch

I'm going undercover on a star wars chatroom i found on "Wookiepedia". My Username will be something along the lines of Its winter in Hoth because that's a funny joke for star wars people. "Yesterday somebody told me it bugged them when people queried whether the TIE had an ejector system. I found it interesting and i wanted to ask whether it does have an ejector system. His name was "The 4 dot elipses". I liked that....

Back then, i couldn't help but feel worse at my own language than them. Their use of capital letters and full grammar on a chat room was a usage i was not used to. So i had to put on a fake online persona of Star Wars Geek. I too was self loathing for a few minutes. I tuned out once they started talking about servers, i don't really know a lot about them.

Today we found a love heart that said U.R.O.K. I see this as a very rude compliment, unless they meant U ROK but that doesn't explain the (.)s. Oh Wikipedia has interesting things to say about Love Hearts

"Most messages are written in simple horizontal, centrally aligned, lines. There are some exceptions to this rule, including the phrase "I Surrender", where the word surrender has been written in an arc around the lower inside edge of the heart outline."

Nobody's talking on the star wars chatroom. or "starch" as i have bookmarked it on my Mozilla.

Recreation. could be what "rec." stood for

But no, rec. stood for recording. we went to to a studioi
i kept messing up and everybody shouted at me to which i replied with im going to go and complete super mario bros deluxe. i have two levels to go...
then we approch a small time signiture in which we can see dream theatree and g 3 and incubus. then get jealous and adress toilet, tell it how it will soon be thrown up in, that declare statement to be true.

soup should make for better stomach was it not for the nail in my mouth. someones throwing rocks at my window.

Measuring Petrol

Today we Practised our band at 12:00. There is a expectancy with the drummer that he will be late. We all take bets on how late he would be this time. I bet 20 minutes. He's late so often that we don't even shout at him when he turns up anymore.

We wrote a country song, which is not only a country song but an anticountry song. It has an interesting anti-country-body to it which juxtaposes beautifully with the steroetypical country riff. It feels like a valley next to a mountain, a house by a hole in the ground.

To "Glockenspiel" something means to insert a glockesnpiel part into a song already established without glockenspiel. We Glockenspieled Indonesia.

I went out this afternoon to draw some boats, but every boat is so publicly positioned it's impossible to sit down and not get watched by everybody walking past. Therefore i didn't draw any boats, just some rocks. And a car in the style of Basquiat.

Always Carry Ink

I got an anonoymous marriage proposal
I could teach you a think or two, yeah, yeah.

A ballpoint pen (also eponymously known in British English as a biro and pronounced bye-row in Britain but sometimes bee-row elsewhere), is a modern writing instrument. A ballpoint pen has an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at the tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere (0.7 mm to 1.2 mm in diameter); the ink dries almost immediately after contact with paper. Inexpensive, reliable and maintenance-free, the ballpoint has almost completely replaced the fountain pen in everyday writing.

Weird, some people call biro's "beerows". I copied this article so i could bitch about it because it makes handwriting look unloved. I could write "this belongs to you" beautifully in permanant marker on a bench, or in fountain pen on a post-it note. But no, i used a biro.

Pirates in Time (Episode 2)

Some might say they would like to see the script for Pirates in Time (Episode 2). I have some free time on my hands, i cannot jump into the sea that is MSN Messenger as i will be aswallowed by conversations of endless repetition and backchat from bent. Sorry, Not everyone's bad, honey.

Captain Two Shirts: It appears we have gone back in -
Dale: -Yarrr!
Captain Two Shirts: Go in the next room
(Captain Two Shirts and Dale meander to the next room. There is a boat, that reminds the pirates of their piratey adventures. They reinforce their memory with terms they used aboard)
Dale: Walk the Plank!
Captain Two Shirts: (as he and Dale move to and fro, resembling the motion of a ship) Choppy seas today!
Dale: (To a passer by) Scrub the decks!
(unintelligable backchat)
Dale: You givin' me lip, boy? (he slaps passer by) Yarr!
(They go back in Time)
Dale: It appears we have gone back in time
Captain Two Shirts: Arr!

I don't have the mental brainpower to continue. i think I'm only half way. It continues in a similar way.

Awkwardly Cast

There was so much demand for a new blog, they have come too few of late said she.

Awkwardly Cast is a lyric from Pink Bullets by The Shins, whose new album has finally arrived, tomorrow (*nice use of imperfect tense, stu). It has no relevence to this entry, well it does now, but that single phrase was stuck in my head for about a minute as i walked downstairs to succumb to my growing addiction: special k; the healthy kind. I have been cast in my drama AS piece of Oedipus Rex. The one he gauges out his own eyes with. Some might say i have been awkwardly cast as Creon, someone who many people see as evil. I'm not very evil, so i will have to get in role and research people like Stalin and Guy Pearce. I never recognise him. Actually Creon only turns evil in "Antigone" when his fall from grace occurs.

I looked up Pink Bullets on Songmeanings.net, hoping to find not many responses so i didn't have to read much. Instead i'll do something better. Blog it.

"Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkwardly cast
Even I could be the star"

The Shins write strange lyrics. Indignity said...

"this reminds me of when you break up with someone, and you see them everywhere, and you remember all the good times you had, but you just can't talk to them. and you can never go back."

theblissful tones said...

"the guy i love sent me this song when he told me that we needed to be apart for a while. i understand now why he did."

Aw man thats really sweet. I don't want to take the piss out of these people. Except maybe Oobleshmerfadarkle who said...

"I was reading a book and listening to this song and somehow I just started crying..."

Hahahahaha!

Clover me, Baby

You would expect somebody to say Cover me, baby, if two lovers were in a situation that required one of them to cover the other. But no, my linguistic genius has changed this to "lucky imagery", a series of picture-creating phrases that make you feel lucky.




Yes i know that lucky imagery is awful. I feel awful in that respect, anything about the language, i have failed you. I got band 2 in an English essay. 12/50. I had to talk to the teacher outside with those in the same predicament as me, although they got 11 and 10 so i was the best. I need to redo that essay, and explain how the atmosphere is created in Act 1 Scene 1 of Much Ado about Nothing. I'll try this time.

It pretty much snowed today. All Canadians must understand that snow in this country is rare and means everybody gets excited and throws it at eachother. It makes the day stand out. My Garden looked as follows

à la Scanner

I bought a scanner about 2 months ago off amazon. It was a spontanious buy because i hadn't bought anything in about 3 days. I have taken amazon off my bookmarks now because otherwise it is too easy to buy something that i don't need. However i have just discovered the beauty of the scanner, and i am A la scanner (rough translation: "at the scanner")(NB 21:22 I just wikipedia'd "à la" and apparantly it means in the manner of. In the manner of scanner?)(NB 21:23 RHYMES!) in scanning in things i find in my room. I can even write notes to a girl and it will be so, so beautifully Jpeg. I can scan a brown paper bag with a scribbled setlist on it. Also i can scan my face but i have heard that that's dangerous.



Actually i have posted 3 entries today. I hope i die down a little. I liked the way back there, and i quote "Actually i have posted 3 entries today" i used italics for "i" when i didn't need to, thus confusing all readers into rereading previous text and feeling they have not read this entry thoroughly enough to get the joke about italics, a joke that i just killed.


Imagine repetitive spanish guitar, some rhythmic droplets and the same voice singing over itself on the subject of the tide, and you'll get the guillemots song i am listening to currently. It just ended.

On Purpose to Grace

Is it not strange that sheep's guts should hale souls out of men's bodies?

says Benedick as he tries to put a bad spin on everythging related to love. Copyright William Shakespeare. Apparantly sheep's guts refers to the strings of a lute, but when i wikipedia'd lute there was no such evidence of lute strings ever having been made of the guts of sheep. I have never heard a lute. Nor do i know what they sound like, although in Italian they are called viola da mano so i guess they sound like a viola.

I was so pleased in English today to hear our teacher say "The Iambic Pentameter mirrors the content by mirroring the idea of harmony in the world." I was starting to lose faith in our English lessons being anything like they are on American TV, where they discuss intelligent subjects such as the rythm of writing symbolicly resembling harmony in the world. Faith be restored. "On purpose to grace" is also a quote in Much Ado about Nothing which is probably not meant to be used as an actual quote as it is in the middle of a sentence, "purpose" and "grace" are not really related. All as if always. I could change that to "Here be us all, as if always we were away". There. Does that make you understand what that whole paragraph meant? Does it make it easier to relate to because i wrote it, baby. N/A.

By the way i put comma baby after randomly selected sentences to make them seem more interesting and to make me appear more original.

The Views long awaited debut album is out today. I will not be getting it, instead i will rip it off a friend. I like saying Asted Way Ittle Ay Ayjay Say though because it has been a long time since anyone spoke like that. Also Little Miss Sunshine is released today. That film was really funny and awkward. Look at Breslin!

All as if Always

This week has just begun, and to celebrate, I must create a blog. It is really interesting to read Blogs of different cultures. I doubt most people are even aware that what they do is so different to everybody else. Think, special. Yeah man!

Having said that there are a lot of same-as', copycats, copyrighted and lawbreakers, well in this country; England. I'm at college at the moment. I shouldn't be creating a blog really. But it's creative, and college should be creative, productive and everything in between. I don't feel like making a website about me, so i'll use a pre-designed template and do the inside-out.
All as if always sounds really nice. I do English Literature & Language combined, so people like me can appreiciate that. All as if always. Interpret your own way, baby.
