GAY

HELLO!

I guess the title says I'm experiencing cerebral ecstasy, but I have just discovered a video that says something important. I guess.

(Sorry I tried to get the video onto this blog but I'm a tech n00b and YouTube won't let me. Anyone care to help with this?)

What do I think about the video? Well, could have been better executed - we all know acting might not be Hilary's forte (because her songs are such a big hit...) but I think the overarching message and target audience (ie. YOU) is spot on.

Hope your holidays are good, and you are doing NOTHING! (or whatever makes you happy)

PS. I watched Tropic Thunder a few days ago... all I can say is, TOM CRUISE! (sorry, if you haven't seen it, you will have no idea what I'm taking about)

Global Crisis

The days that will forever be written down in history are upon us.

It's interesting isn't it. 16/17 years most of us have been around (sorry hurley who =P) and all of our years we have only been through growth.

But what is happening now? who remembers the good ol' days when a stock market index moving 1% would stir up everything. And today? The RBA was supposed to be leading the world in its decision to drop rates. But no. Our dollar dropped to 64c today and our index 5%. And lets not even start on the rest of the world. It seems we are still doing surprisingly well in the global economy. Can any of you tell what's coming? Becuase I sure can't.

Except for one probable thing. Another depression.

Anyone else feeling the stress?


Her cules

cerebral ecstasy (this girl is not high)

Before I am denounced as a nutter or otherwise, let me explain. This doesn't sound as weird as it might - we glorious humans already have several isolated 'areas' for ecstasy (not of tablet form) such as these examples:
aural ecstasy [bluegrass to a hillbilly's ears, death-metal/senseless jamming to a metal head's ears, retro swedish pop to mine (refer to post on alphabeat) and so on]
nasal ecstasy [this one is a bit trickier but then again we taste most of our food through smells, should that make sense, so I suppose apple pie qualifies, whereas any sort of flatulence would not]
kinaesthetic ecstasy [something involving motion - wind rushing past your face when you're going flat out on a bike downhill, or if you're perverted perhaps scraping your nails down a board (but hey whatever floats your boat, we ain't discriminate)]

and so on and so forth etc. etc. etc.

Thus it should not be of a surprise to us all that there should ever be such thing as cerebral ecstasy, the state where your brain is doing happy flips and raving madly as if one has injected a shot of actual pill-ecstasy into your skull. All we have to do is find it, I suppose.

Maison Martin Margiela RTW SS09 (Paris)

It's already Day 3 now of the ready-to-wear Spring/Summer 2009 collections showing in Paris & we've come now to have high expectations of the hundred or so designers which are showing there...But I have to say, how is this ready-to-wear? Sure, Paris is the one of the most influential fashion capitals in the world, but talk about practicality in a ready-to-wear collection! - Then again, I guess that I have acted quite hypocritically in accusing such impracticality, seeing as the focus of my attention has been placed incorrectly on the models faces, as opposed to the clothes themselves. The garments themselves are actually quite wearable (considering their limitations/freedoms earned in upholding the house's reputation) & play interestingly with shape and texture.

But I guess the verdict of the collection is, more importantly, for you to decide...& so now, I leave you with a couple of shots from their collection (and yes, more admittedly, the weirder ones that freaked me out just a tad)...

OK, I think I've contradicted myself here in saying that the clothes are quite practical, but you have to admit that it's pretty cool.

OMGosh it's like her head's exploded into a ball of hair...perhaps after prematurely seeking hair-loss treatment in preparation for the assault of the HSC (lol, Hurley Who)

I think I'm seeing double...Is this a tribute to our long lost English Area of Study?

Silver Screen Insults

I came across this article recently - The Best Insults from the Silver Screen.

While you can't capture every single insulting moment in the history of film, I reckon these ones are a good pick of the bunch:

“I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.” - John Cleese as a French soldier in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (very Mrs K)

Chris Dewey: You're reading a comic book.
House: And you're calling attention to your bosom by wearing a low-cut top. Oh, I'm sorry; I thought we were having a "State the Obvious" contest. I'm competitive by nature. - Hugh Laurie’s scathing and contemptuous Dr. Gregory House in the Histories episode of House M.D.

“A chat with you and somehow death loses its sting.” - The skeezy Rowan Atkinson in '80s classic, The Black Adder

“To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep who could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs…” - Jamie Lee Curtis, in A Fish Called Wanda

“When I first saw you, I thought you were handsome. Then, of course, you spoke." - Helen Hunt as blunt Carol Connelly in As Good As It Gets

“The details of your incompetence do not interest me.“ - Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada


And finally, perhaps the most famous:

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn." - Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind

For all you Gone With the Wind fans, here is the clip:

Random street art

Hello everyone!

I found these photos surfing the net one day - they're called Street Interventions by a guy who calls himself Filthyluker. Wierd name, funny art.

What do we suppose Filthyluker is trying to say? Or does art need no purpose?!

PS. How beautiful is the weather...?!

PPS. A special mention to a friend (who shall be named sh-izzle) who has a violin exam. Also a mention to Disco Read who has a bass exam soon... Good luck!
