Chaotic Mess of Gray(Grey?) Matter

I went to see Transformers (again), but this time, I went with my sis because she had the unfortunate event of every one of her friends gone out to see it without her (something about watching a movie at 7pm with maghrib around the corner, go figure). So THIS time, I was prepared to focus my eyes on the action since the first viewing assaulted my vision on what kind of action was happening… and transforming robots is ALWAYS cool.

After the movie, my sis said she enjoyed it and made a very truistic comment:

“Aman, apasal Optimus Prime lembik je? ingatkan kuat sangat tapi asyik kener belasah jer.”

Thank goodness I wasn’t the only one that noticed this. Needless to say, we spent the entire afternoon ridiculing Optimus and make jokes about him getting beat up. To his credit, he did kill Bonecrusher in less than 5 minutes.

Oh and I bought a small Starscreamer toy today, I think it’s dubbed the Legends line by Hasbro, where thay try to recreate the more detailed version with something way less detailed and simpler to transform. It looks kinda good though, considering how small and few parts it’s made out of. Childish? Definitely, I won’t let common sense stop me from getting one (even though I bought the cheapest one). Plus it looks good perching on top of my Macbook as I type this.

Yes, I’ve modded my tele again. Here’s the recent facelift:
Black pickguard, golden screws. Next up, a Dragon Clan mon so I can post it to AEG for the race to the throne to boost up the Dragon Clan points. And a couple more parts to make this guitar SING!

Ok guys, swallow your pride, this site is actually newbie friendly for those that want to start out playing the guitar. It’s….

The Fender Hello Kitty Club Page!

You should SERIOUSLY check it out. It’s really good. And yes, I learn a few new things from here too

A single candle in the wind lay
unlit and cold with icicles forming at the wick.
A cold and shiftless memory begins to play
at the attempts of trying to make me sick.

I really have to stop reading Neil Gaiman…. he’s the one responsible for me suddenly coming up with ideas of a dark poem such as the intro of the one above. Honestly, I don’t intend to write the rest of it, though it is finished in my head… somewhere.

Just goes to show how a writer influence its readers I guess. Don’t get me wrong, Neil’s works are brilliant and twisting. For example, in his short story “Snow, Glass, Apples”, who would’ve thought of intepreting Snow White as a vampire nymphomaniac and the Queen actually tries to stop her evil daughter?

Needless to say, I never saw Snow White the same way again. Plume was inspired by Gaiman as well…. well, his writing of a sculpture that he got from his friend anyway, The sculpture was of a winged woman in a cage offering her feather to a passerby as her keeper lay asleep beside the cage (was she caged or merely chained? I forgot). At this point I fear I’ll never finish Plume, it’s as if it has no definite ending. And that is BAD.

Maybe I’ll get lucky tomorrow. Maybe.

This is taken from Neil Gaiman’s video of him reading his poem, Crazy Hair. I really liked it, so I copied it word to word (I hope it’s accurate enough, the words became a bit in comprehensible with the audience laughing). Also because it depicts my current hair situation lately

Crazy Hair by Neil Gaiman

She sez, “I don’t mean to stare.
Mister, you have crazy hair
Crazy hair oh me oh my
Crazy hair i thought I’d die”
I said, “Miss, how do you dare
talk about my crazy hair!

This hair you know, is all I own.
Since I was two my hair has grown.
Birds fly down from everywhere
nesting in my crazy hair.

Butterflies and cockatoos,
reds and yellows greens and blues
make me look beyond compare
walking in my crazy hair.

In my hair gorillas leap,
tigers stalk and ground sloths sleep.
A pride of lions make their hair
somewhere in my crazy hair.

Hunters send in expeditions,
radio in their positions.
Still we lost a dozen there.
Lost inside my crazy hair.

You hear music? Dancers too?
I can hear them well, can you?
They pay tunes beyond compare
dancing through my crazy hair.

Huge balloons come down to land.
People wave, it’s very grand.
They take off from everywhere
drifting through my crazy hair.

There are ghouls and water slides,
carousels and pony rides.
All the fun of any fair
waits inside my crazy hair.

Twisting, tangling, trails and loops.
Treasure chests and pirate’s loots.
These awaits the ones who dare
navigate my crazy hair.”

“Here’s my comb,” the girl, Bonnie said.
“Run it now across your head.
That’s what I’d do with great care
when I have such crazy hair.”

“Child! Are you mad?!” I cried.
“Combs and brushes have been tried!
One was eaten by a bear!
Running through my crazy hair.”

Bonnie said, “You bend down here.
I will comb it, is that clear?”
I said, “Miss, just be aware,
this REALLY crazy hair!”

I bent down and Bonnie swiped,
combed and curried round and white.
“Now,” she said, “you look….” but there
came a rumbling from my hair.

One huge growling head came out
and said, “What is this all about?”
One huge arm reached out of there,
pulled her in my crazy hair.

Bonnie has the finest time
teaching lions how to rhyme.
Riding slides and great balloons,
finding hunters, losing moons.

Playing with the pretty birds,
teaching parrots naughty words,
sewing up pirates’ vests,
digging up treasure chests.

Hibernating with the bear,
dancing with the dancers there.
Happy as a little bear
safe inside my crazy hair.

To live on RM150 a month while living outside the comforts of your own home seem far fetched. Desperate even. Here’s a few tips on how to do it anyway:

1. Budget. Really, it’s a no-brainer. Dividing 150 for 30 days immediately come up to RM5 per day right? NO! Budget for RM4 per day. You’d be glad you did.
2. What can you eat for RM4 per day? Honestly not much. But by NOT skipping breakfast and lunch, chances are you won’t be hungry or undernourished.
3. Buy a big box of cereals and a 6 pack milk for breakfast. That’d come up to about 1.80-2.00 per morning. They won’t fill you up, but they’ll keep you alert and at least fit for the day.
4. For lunch, go vegetarian. Refrain from taking fish or meat since they cost a lot. And drink water only (which is free in most cases). Vegetables won’t only deny you of unnecessary fat, but cheap too and there’s no limit on how much you can take.
5. Chances are, you won’t be eating at night. Your body doesn’t really require food at night since you don’t do any activity that will use up a lot of energy (like lunch). You only sleep after watching tv or the like normally.
6. The remaining RM30? Your willpower can only stand so much. You have 2 chances of eating a very expensive meal (like Kenny Rogers).

This comes from personal experience. It works too. I won’t recommend you trying it since it’s taxing at first. Desperation and being poor seem to make me eat a more balanced food ironically. Wonders never cease!

Plume pt 3 in two days folks (if anyone bother to read that is).

Funny…. my blog sees to be missing from my profile page recently. Oh well, hopefully this will rectify it. Plume pt 3 is shaping up, slower than I intended though (very busy lately). By the way, here’s a group I’d like to recommend: Spoon. Look it up. It does indie/punk songs, sounds quite mainstream but good nontheless.

Will post more when I’m in the mood.
