I am in fact not a bad driver, just a terrified one. You could die at any minute on the road! Accidents happen all the time! Of course accidents happen all the time at home, at school, on flat surfaces and off tall buildings. But we're not talking about those (yet).
My instructor didn't panic much, although he did mention that when I eventually do buy a car, it 'most definitely must be an auto'. Yeah. He also looked a bit concerned when, at the end of the lesson, I admitted that I hadn't realised we had been driving around in circles for the past hour. In my defence, they were really big, town-sized circles. Not many people would have noticed.
Really.
Meanwhile, I have watched District 9, Up and 17 Again. Up was depressing like anything, except for Dug the super-adorable dog. 'I was hiding under your porch because I love you.' How adorable is that? Adorable doggy.
Today, I managed to convince my grandparents that my driving is so bad, if I went to KL, I would kill myself driving in a straight line. So they will only even consider allowing me to move under these conditions:
1. I find a place that is FIVE MINUTES OR LESS away from my future theoretical workplace.
2. I go for driving lessons.
Yep.
My driving is so bad, that my grandfather, who survived the second world war and the Japanese Occupation, and who taught everyone in my mother's family how to drive, is hiring a driving instructor for me.
A. Driving. Instructor. for Driving. Lessons. At 23.
And if I don't manage to convince them that I am not a danger to myself and the unfortunate people surrounding me on the road, then I won't be moving anywhere. Which I totally agree with, having great appreciation for my life and that of the car.
Stupid cars. Why couldn't they have made flying carpets or something. If technology is so great, shouldn't they have made teleporters by now? Shouldn't we be living on spaceships? Shouldn't we be colonising the moon? And the best they can come up with is some pansy hybrid vehicle that can't even fly. Wth. What is wrong with these people. They have no vision whatsoever.
Speaking of vision, James Cameron has a new movie that he promises will blow your mind. I hope it will be a Star Trek kind of blow-your-mind, where you wish you had your own IMAX for everytime you watched it, and not a G I Joe kind of blow-your-mind, which reduces you to a level of mild retardation for the duration of the movie. I actually felt my brain cells die when they were shooting MISSILES at the van Snake Eyes was stuck under TO SAVE HIM. There. Didn't your brain cells die too? And you didn't even watch the whole movie yet.
I'm too lazy to do the rest of Star Trek, so you'll have to use whatever imagination you have. To those of you with lots of imagination, Star Trek totally rocks, right? To those of you with little imagination...watch more tv.
I actually wanted to post up this recipe for pineapple upside down cake which is a total cheat because it's too easy to make but everyone will think you're some kind of baking goddess. Totally undeserved, but you take what you get. People give you plus points, too, for saying it was easy. Which it was.
I watched Pineapple Express. I think I'm in love with James Franco. No, really. He is just such a cute drug dealer.
Big aloe vera shaped ship appears through A BLACK HOLE IN FRONT OF USS KELVIN without sucking in said ship or causing any damage to the surrounding bits of space. Disbelief suspended.
NERO, COMMANDER OF NARADA (the poky looking ship): Come on board for absolutely no reason other than to promote your First Officer, George KIRK to CAPTAIN after you die.
USS KELVIN CAPTAIN ROBAU (aka most screwed over captain in Federation history): I am going to go on a suicide mission to ensure that KIRK has a hero for a father.
ROBAU and George KIRK DIE saving the crew of KELVIN while DR CAMERON gives birth to JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK.
Backstory Scene Kirk:
KIRK: By stealing this antique car and driving it over the ledge, I am proving to you what a genius dickwad I am. Also, I am really, really blonde. And cute. Just wait til I grow up.
Backstory Scene Spock:
SPOCK beats up some VULCAN kids who make fun of his name. And the fact that he’s half Vulcan/ half human.
SPOCK: Dad, why did you marry Winona Ryder? SPOCK’S DAD: I wanted my kid to have nice eyes. SPOCK: Guess that worked out well for you.
MANY YEARS LATER:
VULCAN HIGH COUNCIL: Despite your mother being only 8 years older than you, you have turned out pretty normal. We accept your application to Vulcan school that every Vulcan attends anyway.
SPOCK: Did you just diss my mum?
VULCAN HIGH COUNCIL: Uh, yeah.
SPOCK: Fuck this, I'm joining Starfleet.
SPOCK joins STARFLEET.
In random spacebar
KIRK, hitting on SUPERFOX UHURA: Hi. I'm awesome, as you may have noticed from my devil may care attitude, blue blue eyes and kissable mouth. And nice ass.
SUPERFOX UHURA: Huh? Is this Star Trek or a Maxim live-action issue?
KIRK: Says the fanbait.
KIRK then gets beaten up by half a dozen starfleet cadets. Getting beaten up and hanging from ledges seem to be the limit of KIRK's awesomeness.
CAPTAIN PIKE to KIRK, drooling on the FLOOR: We haven't recruited enough good looking people for the year. Why don't you join up?
I was checking out the latest pics from Iron Man 2. They included Stark looking hot, Whiplash the new villain looking unwashed, Pepper looking sweet, Stark looking even hotter, and Black Widow, undercover and in a spy outfit.
And then I realized that there was a silver lining to having Johanssen as Natasha, and that was the spy outfit. The figure hugging, zip front spy outfit.
Because you see, the only nemesis nemesis-y enough to be a threat to Stark is one in black PVC with an hourglass shape. That, and a villain whose power is to manifest large amounts of good quality alcohol.
I can’t wait for the new Iron Man! Even though Whiplash looks sorta like a hobo who raided a garage, it will still be a cool movie.
Because Tony Stark. Is. Awesome.
I also saw on ComicVine that a Magdalenamovie might be in the works. I’ve never read any of the Top Cow comics, but I used to religiously watch Witchblade on TV.
Witchblade is in no way related to Magdalena, except that they have the same ‘villain’, Darkness. Who also has his own comic book.
In fact, everyone and their distant ancestors who appear in the original Witchblade run have their own comic at Top Cow.
Jenna Dewan is attached apparently, and if you guys have forgotten who she is, she’s the girl who spent endless hours of screentime with Channing Tatum in Step Up. I think she’s a bit short, but she’s pretty cute and not Megan Fox, so that’s good.
Speaking of Megan Fox (because everyone is anyway) she’s also jumping on the comic heroine bandwagon (again), rumoured to be signed to play the mostly naked protagonist of Fathom, Aspen Matthews.
Which is kind of correct I guess. Every other image of Aspen is lacking in what we like to call outer clothes, much like every other image of Megan Fox.
That means they will no longer be able TO PUBLISH SUPERMAN COMIC BOOKS HA HA HA.
Sucks to you, wonderboy. That’s what you get for prancing around in BLUE TIGHTS and not being as cool as Batman. Or Tony Stark.
I spent a pleasant day baking brownies and watchingSerenity, the movie of one of the greatest ever tv series that I have yet to watch. Haha.
Anyway, it’s always gives me great joy to watch (again) the disgustingly handsome Simon Tam save his psychotic ballerina sister and then hook up with the rest of the crew of Serenity, with dialogue by Joss Whedon.
Simon Tam (to his sister, River): If shooting starts, just run away as fast as you can. Get somewhere safe, get away. (Eyeing the rest of the crew in the ship with her and saying in a loud whisper) It’s ok to leave them to die.
Malcolm: Simon, I swear to you, if anything happens to your sister…I’d get real choked up. Really upset. There might even be tears.
If you could pull my heart From this stormy ocean Into the frigid arms of life I will go back again and find her My whole life to lie beside her And what follows there behind her Is just a darker dying side of her
I love her as night loves death Anger loves fire As hate loves breath The ice and rage, another stage Of our passions, another page In this book of ruined words Choking at the back of our throats As birds fall from the sky
And when they ask me Why I love her I have to tell them It’s the translucence of her skin It’s the horror of the ghost within All the lies that stain me told In the pattern of her hair they unfold
Forgive me, I have need of her And if death may part us I will see her And if my frozen lips do part to tell The terrors of her unearthly charm There is no harm For there is no better hell Than in her arms.
Nothing much has happened since the last update. I am now confined to the library, listing books with the dream of creating a reference that is both understandable and artistic. Which is impossible, but I try.
Found out a couple days ago that the chambering student/ lawyer slightly annihilated his sleek bronze Audi. Wondered what car he is driving now. Saw him drive away in a BMW yesterday. I wonder if he accidentally sort of destroys the BMW, if he'll be driving a Jaguar to work the next day.
Am currently reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Uncle sent a compilation of all six books in the trilogy, and the whole is fatter than my cat. Which may sound impossible, but there you have it. Will be leaving for Johor in two weeks. Less than a week actually. From there reality will crash into my peaceful slumbering and I will have to get a job, or die of shame.
I LOVE yewwwwww
