Being Human

We see each other almost everyday.
We laugh and talk and drink together.
All of a sudden, we're people. And we're in each other's lives.

Gateway

Sometimes the bridges we have to cross make our feet bleed.

But I'll suck it up, because it's better to be wounded and heal, than to stay in one place forever.

Who Says You Can't Go Home

Walking across foreign lands
Among foreign eyes, and alien sand
The air is different, you fall in
Hearts are different in every within
And you begin

Who are you, and where are you now
What will you do with your dreams?
They seem so strange now and somehow
You’ve forgotten your old gods

You painted someone else’s canvas
You’re wearing a strange perfume
In a house of strange jewel glass
On a stage, in a strange room

Are you reading lines the people want to hear?
Have you forgotten why you are here?
Are you an actor now, instead
Of the figure in your dreams,
Or is she dead?

Mourn her, bring her back
Or is she only hiding behind her veil
Of heavy cloth and dusty gold
Of promises, of secrets, of hopes untold

There is a time when you must leave
She will return, and you might grieve
But the strange…it’s for strangers
You know where you belong.

Don't Think Too Much, You'll Go Blind

Rent the Geisha

Recently, I watched Dollhouse.
Or should I say, I watched Eliza Dushku in Fetish Costume of the Week. Or, Look How Hot Eliza Dushku Is. Or, The Eliza Dushku Show.

Yes folks. That Eliza, aka Faith the Vampire Skank...I mean Slayer. Don't get me wrong, she was my favourite slayer (really) (no, really. She was).

So anyway, she's headlining Dollhouse now. And by headlining, I mean SHE DOMINATES EVERY FRICKING PIECE OF PROMO MATERIAL OR ANY MATERIAL OTHERWISE ASSOCIATED WITH DOLLHOUSE, including THE INTRO. The INTRO goddamnit! And it gets even worse in season 2!

Now, it's normal to use your main actress as the face of the series. But even Summer Glau got an advert for Sarah Connor Chronicles okay? Maybe nobody gave two spits about the kid, but guess what? He didn't look like Summer Glau.

I actually don't even remember what the kid looks like. He does grow up into Nick Stahl, and then Batman, so honestly...Summer Glau? What? Was I actually talking about something else? Jeez.

I have two problems with this practice of sticking images of Eliza in our faces so that we don't ever forget how incredibly hot she is. Well, three, including this one that I just realised: I have seen so much of her, she doesn't make me feel she's hot anymore.

1. She's boring. And irritating. She's only nice when she's ECHO and has the intelligence of a toddler. Where's the charisma? Where's the mystery? And, lest we forget, where the heck did you put your personality?
Some nameless clotheshorse/ glamour model/ porn star could do exactly what you're doing, except you get paid about, oh, a GAZILLION times more. You're pretty, but you're NOT THAT PRETTY!! Remember, beautiful includes personality.
Not having one means you lose half the race.

2. IS JOSS WHEDON BLIND? IS FOX VISUALLY CHALLENGED IN SOME WAY? What is the purpose of the Dollhouse?

So that sick rich people can fulfil their sick, rich-people fantasies with by hiring incredibly beautiful Dolls to carry out these fantasies to perfection.

So basically you have a cast of good looking people. Not just your normal good looking people. You have the kind of people other people dream about.
For example:

DICHEN LACHMAN the LIVING ANIME CHARACTER
Enver Gjokaj
Amy Acker
Olivia Williams
Tahmoh Penikett
Miracle Laurie
SUMMER GLAU

And those are only the named cast.
And all FOX could come up for promo was this:

Eliza Dushku

Dichen Lachman

Yeah, yeah, aku tau ni bukan gambar Dichen Lachman.

Tapi dress ni cantik kan?
Walaupun tak secantik Lachman.

Sebenarnya, aku rasa kan, macam aku takde paper nak di-blog-kan. Seriously. Adelah, stuff happens. Lepas tu, stuff tu berlalu. Aku pun duk fikir, nak post pasal benda tu ke tak? Habis aku duk fikir, aku pun rasa aku lama sangat fikir. So aku tak tulis. Lama-lama aku tak post, aku jadi malas.

Sebenarnya aku tau korang semua tak peduli pasal dilema aku, so aku just akan bercerita pasal aku pergi shopping hari ni dengan Lilyflower.

So dah lama giler babi aku tak pergi shopping. I mean, shopping shopping, bukan shopping nak beli katil baru ke, shopping nak beli bantal ke, shopping nak beli tukul dengan paku...all that housewife-in-training/ andartu stuff.

Korang tau tak macam mana nak bezakan antara shopping dengan shopping shopping? Aku pun tak tau sangat lah, ko pergi ar figure it out yourself. Ko dah cukup tua kot.

Yang aku tau, shopping adalah satu aktiviti yang therapeutic. Baru breakup? Pergi shopping lah beb. Dapat promotion kat kerja? Shopping lah beb. Adik lari dari rumah? Takyah fikir banyak, shopping lah beb. Takde kerja lain?

Carilah kerja. Duhhh.

Anyway. Aku dah lama tak shopping. Aku hampir lupa kepuasan hati membeli barangan baru. Seriously. Tak ade ape-ape yang boleh mengalahkan kepuasan hati memakai baju baru yang dipilih dan dibeli sendiri. Aku selalu rasa macam aku telah mencapai sesuatu bila aku pakai baju yang aku baru beli. Or mungkin aku just vain dan banyak ego... Bottomline, shopping memang best.
