Well that took longer than it should have...

So one day I said to the horse, why the long face?

And then it attempted to eat my shirt.

A true story. Well, the last line is. This blog is already weird. Seriously Gerarda, why can you not write something sensible and avoid putting something lame/strange/weird/banana down every five seconds?

What do you mean? I like chicken!!

I was going to study today but then I had do some other stuff and then I ate food and it got too late to study so I am blogging instead. And I'm sort of failing at that. I tried to knit today and I failed. I could list another few things I failed at today but that would be too depressing.

So here's a picture of Dom Howard instead. Insert you're own caption. I do have one but it's not that funny so I'm sure yours will give you more amusement than mine.

THE RESISTANCE

Yesterday Muse announced that their fifth studio album would be called The Resistance. I'm excited. At first I thought it sounded too simple and ordinary to be a Muse album title but then I realised this was a stupid thing to think because after all their third album was Absolution which is one word less and that turned out pretty good. It's interesting it's called The Resistance because we've also heard that a track title will be called United States of Eurasia, which is possibly a reference to George Orwell's 1984 in which the United States of Eurasia were the non-communists. Well they were the ones fighting against the main characters' nation which was the opressive ones and had the Big Brother type thing going on. I've only read half the book so my knowledge of the canon is sketchy at best, but that's what I remember... but my point is that this makes sense with the title in a slightly obscure way because the characters attempted to fight against the opressive nation in the book hence "the resistance". So maybe the theme of the album will be loosely based on the themes of 1984... which to me, sounds a bit odd, I mean why would Muse write songs about a book? And I mean, we all know the only book you can write music about is Harry Potter right? =P

Although from memory I do recall Origin of Symmetry, (the title that is not the whole album) was inspired from some book written by some conspiracy theorist. Or something like that. So in summary, I have no idea what this means for how the album is going to turn out and it was just my Lit/Harry Potter nerdiness that made me analyse the heck out of the minimal information I have collected in the reservoir known as my brain.

But I'm sure The Resistance with be awesome. And to celebrate here's a screencap from HAARP that I made myself, with a (maybe) funny caption that I also made myself.

MATT: No, seriously guys, the microphone is stuck to my forehead...

So Much Clogging!!!

So... I haven't blogged in a long time. I haven't really had time; last week was full of tests and assignments that I think I've scraped through.

Who is the broken man, cluttering up my hall way?

I'm listening to the soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar, which we've had in our CD collection for ages. It's pretty good, I love Pilate's part and the lepper part. And King Herod is funny... haha Oh and "Than John what when John did his baptism thing" is pretty funny as well. =)

I also love this guy's expression: http://twitpic.com/5flx3
=P (But what does it mean? o.o)

WE HAVE NO KING BUT CEASAR

If you say so Jerusalem.

Aww poor Pilate, gotta feel sorry for the guy - well at least in the rock opera, I'm not sure what he was like in real life.

REMEMBER CEASAR YOU HAVE A DUTY TO KEEP THE PEACE SO CRUCIFY HIM.

Friday's at uni are always really quiet because a lot of people have no classes that day... I however have my last class at 3. And the class before that is at 11 and therefore I have a three hour break. Last week I was fretting about my physics test. This week I'll be probably taking impromptu walks around the campus when I get bored of sitting still in various places. Unless I find someone to talk to and have a riveting conversation about... stuff... coz it's so interesting...

This was a random blog. I like Hayley G Hoover's blog because it's almost like a high school book series thing. It's really good though. It's interesting how she really hates high school and from the way she describes it, the kids there are so mean. I would love to go there just to see the difference between her senior year and my senior year (aka Year 12).

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR!

My Name is Gerarda and I wear hats

Today I have picked the most random title ever, I think, that I have used thus far on this blog. Feel free to contradict me but yes, that is what I feel. The last half is a blatant lie. I do not wear hats. Mainly because I a) cannot find any I like to wear/look good on me and b) I can not be bother searching and buying hats. In a perfect world I would however wear a lot of hats. The last time I wore a hat for a considerable period of time would be when my friend asked me to wear a hat for our plane ride back from Sydney because she hat two hats neither of which she wanted to put into her luggage so like a good friend I wore one and she wore the other.

Also today my friend sent me Megalomania (by Muse) live at Royal Albert Hall and it is quite awesome. =) For people who don't know the main instrument in the song is the organ and Matt Bellamy actually plays the organ in this version, the RAH organ is apparently the second largest in the British isles with 9,999 pipes. That's a lot of pipes. =) Haha Matt Bellamy calls it "the beast". <3

Something Or Other...

Wow I haven't blogged in an eternity. Hello everyone! I'd just like to let you know though, that despite not blogging I have been reading everyone else's blogs. By everyone else I mean Jacinthe, Lindsay, Catherine and Marzieh. <3

Well this week has been reasonably eventful. I have this climate change group project report thing that is due on Tuesday which is behaving much like a nightmare an a half. Hopefully tomorrow we will sort it out and I can just forget about it and concentrate on the classes I actually like vaguely. Or at least want to do well in.

I think I might be going to the gym with my friend tomorrow but she hasn't texted me back yet to confirm if we are going. I think we are since she asked me earlier in the week but I just want to make sure and we haven't made any times or anything. I don't know if I still want to go - I feel like sleeping right at the moment. Wait she just texted me. It's on... =)

I should go to bed or I'll be really tired tomorrow morning... *sigh*
Sleep ins are overrated, sleepins are overrated sleepins are overated.... it might come true... one day.

"lyrics used by kind permission even though we wrote them"

So basically this is another blog. Today I think I will try and talk a bit more about what I today and possibly the last few days seeing as today was too interesting. It seems to work for Lindsay. =)

Speaking of Lindsay I would just like to take a moment to tell everyone that Lindsay is awesome. And I would also like to thank her for helping me get a particular song of YouTube because a particular online music store fails. When I say helping I mean she basically did it for me which makes it even more awesome. <3

I said I was going to talk about my day. Hmm... well today I filed uni work so I can be organised. I don't think I've filed anything properly since like year 11. I totally lacked any motivation for anything school work related in year 12. Year 12 was a bitch. There I said it; now (as my therapist says) I can move on. Then I continued writing part of the report on climate change I have to do for my Earth science unit. I learned four things from this
1)Environmental Scientists use too many first-year uni student unfriendly acroynms.
2)I hate group work (although I already knew this)
3)I hope I wasn't supposed to be motivated to do something about climate change by doing this project coz it's not working.
4)OK Computer is an awesome album but has nothing to do with climate change and the possible rise of sea-levels.

If anyone has the album OK Computer by Radiohead I suggest you read the acknowledgements/credits, there's some random and funny stuff in there that might amuse you for a few seconds/minutes.

We've also learnt that I fail at talking about my day. I am going to go eat scones now. Would you like some?
