lately, i've been listening to MGMT a whole damned lot.
not that i can help it.
after downloading a few remixes off www.bbqchickenrobot.com
i was way deep into the psychedelic pop;
and then on a single day, this past Monday,
i heard Time To Pretend twice, goodness, it must have been.
first, at the Gleneagles Medical Centre's Guardian pharmacy, over the in-store radio, waiting for my pharmacist to attend to me.
--no i am not sick--
second, whilst watching a bootleg of 21.

i'm otaku-proud to have finished three anime, and in the above listed reverse chronological order!
also glad to have found a fellow Studio Ghibli fan in Christian.
next i shall try to get my hands on some quality Ghost in the Shell feature-length anime.
Cyberpunk fiction has this thing about it that appeals to me, i have yet to understand why.

Are We There Yet?
It's the end of semester!
For the past two weeks, I lost two of my houseys just as we are getting to know each other more and developed peculiar sleeping patterns to incorporate rest with studies. The irony is realising that I may have a higher chance in passing the mgmt paper than the mar comm paper given that I've no bus bg. I quote a third year student wrt to the latter as an " amateur ad unit " which I sorta agree. It's a comm mix ad theory unit and I'm losing my ability to translate the most simple obvious crap into words.
It's remarkable how in the short period of this fall affects me in some ways..

Potato or Onion
I’m bringing indifference to a new level – life and whatnot, major paper on Friday morning and not quite prepared for it.
Recently, somebody told me about being a potato or an onion. Adapted from Shrek, it is a simple theory that being a potato is someone who is what you see is what you get. An onion, on the other hand, has got many layers hence it refers to someone who is more complex. So how do you determine whether you are a potato or an onion? I reckon it will be nice to have more potatoes around but potatoes do not necessarily suggest happy optimistic people and as to being more complex do not conform purely to the negative aspects. The thing about coming up with a profile of yourself, most people often portray what they want to be akin to or presume how they are like in place of what they really are. Besides, who is certain that there is no possibility that the simplicity is a façade?
That is merely a shower thought; the land of jolly people is treating me fine. I spend time with my houseys, we cook, we bake, we drink, and we go to the beach and the Caversham wildlife park. The kookaburras, koalas, kangaroos, wombat and wolves are awesome! I made a friend who talks into a tropical girl like me, striving against the cold to play in the icy rain on an autumn night as the boys shampoo with a garden hose when the rain is not heavy enough. Ordinary stuff but heaps of fun! Then there is ice-skating at Cockburn, camping at Mundaring, making friends with the dogs at Shirley Strickland, all in this beautiful nippy fall I wish I’d never forget. The pictures after the crunch time, mmkay.
Nevertheless, I never cease to miss my home in some ways.

before the second show
It makes no difference that I’m alone most of the time or even in the midst of new friends and faces in the crowd, loneliness has her way to find me.
Even the trolleys are mocking at me.
It’s not that I’m having a bad time in the golden state but it’s daunting to be on my own, not having someone around. The worst is that when it gets cold, going out into the sun isn’t gonna make me warm at all. Now, it will be nice to have a shoulder to cry on and let me turn on my manja.
It’s been more than a month and T-Rex is probably the only one who still contacts me as much as when I first got here. I’ve got to be amazed with his ability to listen to all the crap I’ve been putting him through. What have I done to deserve having nice people in my life? Except that there’s this yayapapaya- face bitch. Maybe I step on her tail and now she hates me. I did try to pet her because I feel bad afterwards but she wouldn’t let me.
On another note, I should be glad to have nice houseys after all the stories I’ve heard. This is a dinner we had before the tuition free week but we’re missing Aaron here.

onigiri girl
there's no link between onigiri and cheesecakes.
both--i love and enjoy.
i really like cheesepies. i mean cheesecakes. especially this brand, Eli's, from Chicago. and i haven't had them for a good ten years.
so, imagine the look on my face as i chanced upon this in holland v's cold storage.
will be going back there to get my sticky hands on them, for sure.
these grainy moon shots are just a result of spending a little time at KC's casa over the last month.
well isn't it simply a splendid view from his north bridge apartment?
i want my onigirl back.
