WEDNESDAY

I'm really addicted to Sims 3 for iPhone right now. It's probably more addictive than the computer version because you can just whip it out and play it whenever you want. I haven't gotten enough sleep for the past few nights because I stay up trying to get a promotion or to make more virtual friends.

Anyway, it's safe to say that I will soon stop playing, once I've finished the 70+ goals of the game.

TUESDAY

Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movies ever.

A very good movie poster.

A few weeks ago I was at Carlingford library and they had a copy of Empire magazine with a poster like that in it. It was very tempting to just rip it out and take it. Seriously if anyone reading this has a Pulp Fiction poster, I'd like to buy it.

Anyway the outstanding thing about this film it maintains a firm grip on your balls. The dialogue seems pointless but somehow works because the characters are so vivid.

Take Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson). The best description of him is probably 'bad motherfucker'. In fact, that's what it says on his wallet. He's a hitman, who likes to recite Ezekiel 25:17 before popping a cap in people's asses. You could put every line he says in the movie on a t-shirt and people would buy it.

A pretty crazy guy

I like pretty much all of Tarantino's films but you really can't get past the iconic appeal of this one. Inglourious Basterds was pretty good but I'd have to watch it again to decide whether its as good as this.

FRIDAY

I haven't watched The Dark Knight (nor Batman Begins) for about a year and a half. I'm not sure whether I'll like it more because I've read so many Batman comics now or if I'll like it less because it won't match up to the comics. Thinking back, I really liked the movie so I'll have to watch it again in the holidays.

Anyway, for lack of more interesting topics, here's some cool flash games:

Steambirds: Tactical game where you control airplanes. It's pretty slick and you need to think a bit in the later levels. 4/5!

The Company of Myself: Very short but a thoroughly enjoyable game, with a clever storyline (for a flash game). I felt more emotion playing this than I have had watching some movies.

Should my life continue to lack any witty/fascinating anecdotes, I will resort to posting blogs about good movies.

TUESDAY

SHIT.

My sister beat my Doodle Jump high score.

SATURDAY

For the past few days I've been downloading all sorts of apps for my iPod. Not just games but utilities and productivity tools. The best app I downloaded was probably Assassin's Creed for iPod which I couldn't stop playing. It actually annoyed my parents because I'd spend hours playing it instead of doing my work.

Sleep Cycle Alarm didn't quite work because the iPod fell off my bed. That meant it couldn't pick up on my nocturnal movements and wasn't loud enough when it rung. I downloaded AppBox, which isn't as useful as the description says. The dictionary.com app is pretty useful (and free), though I only got it because I saw Tim use it. He was typically trying to impress me with his repertoire of vocabulary and used it to find the meaning of a word I didn't know.

wednesday

to add to my list of unusual stores, i saw a shop selling mannequins.

That is all

SUNDAY

Amazing fact of the day:

Longest Piano Pieces ever Written

Opus Clavicembalisticum- Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (4.5 hours)

The History of Photography in Sound - Michael Finnissy (5.5 hours)

The Road - Frederic Rzewski (10 hours)

Beatus Vir - Jacob Mashak (11 hours)


Keep in mind these pieces are non-repetitive. The last two have never been played in one sitting by a single person.

SATURDAY

I watched most of the Tropfest finalists of this year. My favourite one was actually the winner 'Shock'. 'Last Roll of the Dice' is really short and also good. On the whole though, I didn't find them as great as previous years.

There's this app for iPods called Sleep Cycle Alarm (or something like that). You put the iPod on your bed and the accelerometer monitors your movement. It then calculates when is the best time for you to wake up in terms of your sleep cycle within a 30 minute margin. Don't know if it works yet.

MONDAY

Late nights will have detrimental effects on your health.

sunday

today i just heard the world's worst ad campaign on the radio. It was for Migoreng and it featured this extremely annoying woman just talking about how great migoreng is and going "mm... so yummy.. ohhh". She also kept on repeating the fact that migoreng is actually indomie and how it "rhymes with yummy and legendary. It's indomie!" If anything that ad has the potential to turn anyone off migoreng. Now people think that people who eat migoreng should get a slap in the face.

On another note, there is now in production a Yogi Bear movie!!! Here's an episode of Yogi Bear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWNQIijYHjM&feature=related

SATURDAY

Highlight of today was eating these giant jawbreakers the other Vincent bought. They're so huge that when they're in your mouth you can't talk or even swallow.

First person to say 'that's what she said' is a fag.

THURSDAY

Sometimes if I don't get enough sleep, I have microsleeps in my piano lessons. I'll be playing something and then I start drifting off. I'm still sitting up and my fingers are still playing and I'm not even sure if my eyes are open because I'm semi-conscious. And then I wake up from playing a really loud key or my teacher commenting on something.

TUESDAY

I wish people would stop making jokes about penis size.

The average penis length of a man is 16cm. Around 90% of penises are between 14.5-17.5cm in length. This means, assuming a bell curve, that there is a standard deviation of less than 2cm.

Having a large penis puts you at a sexual disadvantage anyway. Because of the longer shaft, you're not able to pump enough blood into it to maintain a firm and long-lasting reaction.

monday

as pop very eloquently suggested that i should post something, i will. Have you ever tried playing this game where u try to guess the type of person who drives the car in front of you? (shut up im a single child in a car) Well, u generally stereotype by saying ooh there's a toyota - must be an asian in that or ooh, theres a saab-must be some guy with a skivvy on with glasses. Sometimes you get surprises like a white guy in a toyota or a guy who just wears glasses but no skivvy in a saab.
Well yesterday i saw a Toyota Celica (search on google if you want to know what it looks like) and i immediately went ooh-a fully sick leb in that car. Well, i was wrong. There was actually an old grandma driving it (serious she had white hair, had to lean forward to look over the steering wheel, glasses, the works).

And to add to the list of random shops, i saw a shop selling signs (like those fluro ones for shops that say OPEN and a picture of a pizza or watever).
