Mind that bus. What bus? splat

The title might seem a bit morbid but it's actually a quote from Red Dwarf refering to when Kryten was given 24 hours to shut himself down because he was out of date. The quote was said by none other then Arnold J Rimmer. A rather pompous git who acts way above his station, where the lab mice are the only things aboard the ship that is lower ranking then he.

ANYHOO

Oh look there goes a week of uni.... whoosh.

How do you make Lady Gaga cry?

*ba boom chi*

Uni is okay so far. Hey I'm listening to Bach again. I used to never like organ music, I thought it was annoying and then one day I began to listen to it properly and it's actually really EPIC. Especially Bach. Plus we normally had an organist playing at school masses and the like, which made them ALMOST worthwhile going if it was still accompanying the touring choir. And awhile a go I realised the organist was ACTUALLY PLAYING Bach during communion. He'd always play the same thing and it turns out it's part of Bach's Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C. Because I'm sure people would be impressed by this information if I'd happened to mention one day at school.

Obscure facts FTW!

These guys' expressions crack me up:



Ahh I remember a time when I knew html. HYPER TEXT MARK-UP LANGUAGE! Or it is MARKET? I dunno.

Good day.

A blog in which I fail to shed any light on the important issues of the world. But there are monkeys.

I read this article today and it made me excited:

I also am reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan as recommended by my friend Alex (linkage!). It is quite good so far.

I am listening to Mozart's Requiem at the moment. I read somewhere that Matt Bellamy didn't like Mozart. That made me sad. But I ate some chocolate and felt better.

I like when you listen to classical music and you're on MSN and your MSN is set to show what you are listening to and it comes up with this massively long title like: Mozart: Requiem In D Minor, K 626 - 3. Seqentia, 3. Rex Tremendae Majestatis 2:20 Magdalena Hajóssyová, Jozef Kundlák, Etc.; Zdenek Kosler. It just makes me go HA My "What I'm Listening to Thing" OWNS your "Poker Face -Lady Gaga"!! Take that you popular-music-listening-while-going-on-msn-people!!

Yeah...

Let's just go somewhere and have a dance party.

Like the beach. I walked there. It took six hours. In the last hour we were like "it's over the next hill... or the next hill or the next hill...AHHH" But it was fun. Coz we're weird like that.

I lied about the monkeys.

Avoiding Real Life As Usual

My exams finished last Monday so I have been free for approximately a week! A lot of people have had parties and such throughout this week which I have been attending and that's kept me pretty busy. Now I could talk about the parties and the people there and what I did but on this blog I seem to have a tradition of not talking about my actual life on this blog despite personal blogs tending to be for that purpose.

So instead I am going to talk about monkeys.

No actually I'm not, mainly because I don't know anything about monkeys. So there goes that plan...

As for the holidays, I have some random ideas on things that I would like to do but I won't share them here because you'd just laugh at me. However in the unlikely event they do happen you WILL hear about. I promise. And then it will be epic. EPIC.

Like dressing gown parties. That is such a brilliant idea.

My mum just told me I should do something worthwhile... blogging is so worthwhile... and I'm listening to Bach. =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSAY!! <3

It's Lindsay's birthday today (that is the 14th of June and by today I mean if you live in Canada, it's already the 15th here). I texted her at about 10am(?) her time (10pm my time) and being my little nerdy/fangirly/something or other self I was really excited because she just recently got a mobile/cell phone so we can communitcate through text now as well as Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, email, msn, the MOFFIA forums... except the difference is that texting is completely internet unrelated so it's even more fun! Hahaha, I love having "internet" friends.

I think by wishing Lindsay a happy birthday on this blog, I have now completed my task of wishing her happy birthday on pretty much all mediums invented and made available to the common man (except in person IT WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY!).

Oh wait... no... what about morse code? and smoke signals? Hmm this might take longer than I thought...

LAST EXAM TODAY! I WILL BE FREE IN SOME RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER OF HOURS.

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!
