#224 daria alter egos

on more daria stuff

i really want the boxed set.

like really.

and i never want the dvds or boxed set for anything usually.

but anyway here are my favourite alter egos of the characters:

(the fashion club as the ramones; mystik spiral as the beatles; jane as david bowie; trent as elvis; trent as daria; daria as andy warhol; jesse as a game show host; joey, jeffy and jamie as the three musketeers; ms li as a soccer player; trent as peter pan; mr o'neill as little red riding hood; kevin as a hot air balloon; jodie as da vinci; tom as icarus; kevin as a zombie; mrs bennett as rudolf; mr o'neill as mr potato head; jake as leggo)

#223 no more!

just finished watching daria

including both movies

sigh

& i quite enjoyed seasons 4 and 5

its kind of sad

that i have nothing left to watch

& i really like the movies as well

even though they were just really long episodes

---------------------

so that thing with daria and jane and tom

was a bit hmm

especially the kissing your best friend's boyfriend bit

but i actually quite liked daria and tom together

they suited a lot better than say trent and daria

even though most of the romance fan fic is about trent and daria

but i think that daria and trent wouldn't have worked

sure she pierced her belly button for him

but she did get over him in seasons 4 and 5

and they were kind of always at different wavelengths

you know trent being late at everything, and really no direction

and well daria enjoying being an intellectual and reading books and whatnot

whereas i think tom and daria are on the same level

they had much more in common

sucks that they broke up at the end of the last movie though.

i liked them.

actually i really like the scenes where it was just daria and tom.

i found them pretty funny

especially because daria was even more awkward than usual.

:)

though, for sort of obvious reasons, most people hate tom.

(btw, the pic is just a fan made pic from here. but i like it, daria looks like her aunt amy in this one.)

these ones are fan made as well from here

i think they're pretty funny

especially the quinn vs sandi one

you can see the

weapons at the top are a mirror, a sanitary pad (lol), a scrunchie, a hairdryer, a magazine and a tampon (double lol).

and its funny because stac is meant to help quinn and she's just hiding scared

and tiffany is meant to help sandi

but she's just reading a magazine.

the daria vs jane one isn't as funny

weapons are just a skull, boots, glue gun and paint brushes.

meh.

there's also a kevin vs. mr demartino one.

where kevin's weapon is just a football and mr demartino's are a pitchfork, a chicken and an eye.

haha

and this is one if lawndale high was actually a ghetto school.

you can see with all the hoods and hats and middriffs and puff jackets

and obviously kevin wouldn't be a qb anymore

he'd be a basketball player.

#221 freelance whales

a band i'm loving right now: freelance whales

their new album is pretty awesome

actually i've downloaded most of the songs

but thats because their album isn't released yet in australia

i'll be sure to buy it soon

apparently it would be at jb hi-fi on friday

hopefully i can get it then.

:)

their songs are really cute and catchy

they kind of sound like postal service with the electro synth vocals

and the lead singer kind of sounds like ben gibbard

they also sound kind of like the morning benders.

but the freelance whales has a slightly more country or folk feel.

with the use of many different instruments

including the banjo and the glockenspiel.

generator ^ first floor was the song that got me into them

its such a cute song :)

we get up early just to start cranking the generator
our limbs have been asleep, we need to get the blood back in them
we're finding every day, several ways that we can be friends.

we keep on churning and the lights inside the house turn on,
and in our native language we are chanting ancient songs,
then when we quiet down,

the house chants on without us."

#220 strings unite

funeral music

twas quite fun doing music today
with me & emma on violin
& steph on the cello
i think we sounded pretty good.
:)

in other music news,
i should start playing the guitar again
because i don't feel like i'm really progressing
sigh.

♥

#219

new layout, again.
i really quite like this one
because it looks pretty pro
:)
and i spent forever on it.

because it originally it looked like the picture below:

but i'm a bit annoyed that i can't change the rate that the thing slides

i think it goes too fast.

but oh well.

btw, my wallpaper came from here

in other news,

i've been really bad this semester

i haven't really done any uni work

except for my research project

and even that i'm not on top of.

and even though i know i haven't done anything

because i don't feel like it

i end up continuing to not do anything.

gah, it sucks.

and i'm definitely a person

that if i'm in the rhythm or in the zone of doing something

i can do it for agesss

but when i'm not

i just can't at all.

sigh.

♥

p.s. HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY CLARA!

i♥you.

#218 world in my hands

so today i lost my thermo flask

i accidentally left it on the train

but jacky says i "accidentally" left it on the train, because i didn't like that one

it leaked and it looked ugly

but i swear it wasn't intentional.

so after i had lost it i went to buy another straight after

because i have had my eye on the ones in 'Typo'

for a while

though they're a little bit more expensive than others

so i did end up buying a new one

and the one i got has an ancient world map on it

its pretty cool

#217 no santa!

347 366 - Santa baby
Originally uploaded by ly wylde

so apparently jacky shattered someones dream about santa yesterday
the thing is
it wasn't exactly a child either.
actually
the guy was 25 years old.

to be fair though,
he didn't grow up in australia
and so he must have heard about this santa
and didn't believe it was false.

but then,
apparently he had written letters to the north pole.
which is pretty funny.

"sorrow drips into your heart;
through a pinhole.
just like a faucet that leaks;
and there is comfort in the sound.
but while you debate half empty;
or half full.
it slowly lyses;
your love is gonna drown."

#216

currently sitting in melb central
by myself
waiting for either jacky or emma to be finished and to join me

just met up with heather before
and we discussed the book of daniel (in the bible)
was pretty interesting
because she points out a whole bunch of things that I had never noticed
(I'll write about it in my other blog)

but since i'm so bored
I'll share what I'm listening to at this current point in time
I've put the iPod on shuffle you see

(also, sorry for the random capital letters. I usually don't do capitals but I'm typing on jacky's iPod which I have taken captive, and the iPod likes to correct my words for me)


right now it's: sweet disposition by the temper trap
I love this song
definitely the best song in the whole album

now it's a remix version of heads will roll by the yeah yeah yeahs
it's totally a club mix
as in you can totally dance to it
it's a pretty good remix
but I think I prefer the original one better
guess it depends on my mood

now it's: genius next door by regina spektor
i'm not sure why I like this song so much
but I think it's my favourite song in this album, far
I think I find the piano really haunting
and deep
even though the song is about a lake which overnight became as thick as porridge
but people would still swim in it
pretty much that's what it's about.

now: a&e by goldfrapp
I love this song but I totally do not understand what it's about

now: undisclosed desires by muse
I've talked about the song before
cos I love it
me and Emma were saying once how when he sings the chorus
he sounds so hot ;)
and also when I sing it I tend to get confused
which one is: reconcile, recognise, exercise & satisfy
I tend to get them wrong

now: more Regina spektor
blue lips.
"blue lips, blue veins. blue. the colour of our planet from far far way."
I also don't really understand the meaning of this song.

(seriously, I think I'm just going to do this until someone joins me. because I can't be bothered doing anything)

now: the end has no end
my favourite strokes song :)

ok, jacky's here now.
Ok bye :)

#215 mag's 21st

so my fellow west footscray buddy
had her 21st at a footscray restaurant tonight

and she booked out the whole place.
some new korean bbq place
which was ok
not great.
& the food took forever to come out.
the night dragged on for ages.

because we got there at about 6.30

and left at around 10.30.

and there wasn't much 'bbq'-ing

so to speak

we only ate like a few bits of bbq-ed meat

and the rest was just other random foods.

but the company was good.
a whole bunch of high school friends
who i used to take the train to school with.

being crazy & laughing at everything

:)

#214

so, i was bored.

♥

#213

"i fly like paper

get high like planes"

--------------------

i'm a bit boring lately.

nothing to blog about.

boo!

#212

i want to be like jane lane.

she's the coolest

:)

been watching daria lately

i'm up to season 3 now.

my favourite episode was the first episode of season 3

the musical one

i found it hilarious :)

#211

♥

#210

finally finished my hypothesis

but i'm pretty sure its utter crap

because i couldn't really reconfirm with my supervisor today exactly where i'm going with my topic

so hopefully my hypothesis isn't too narrow

and that i can write 2000 words on it.

or that i can say

yes, my hypothesis is correct

but i can add more stuff

to fill space.

hopefully.

and what's stupid about this is:

the 1000 word draft is due in two weeks

but the 2000 word draft is due one month after that.

i wish it were reversed.

because surely if you've done your first draft

you'll need a bit less time to do your final copy.

and you need a bit more time to draft your first copy.

sigh.

footscray station #209

i found a song call "footscray station" today

how hilarious!

the song isn't that great

its a bit meh

but its pretty funny

also, its also pretty funny that the band name is called

scott & charlene's wedding

ie. this:

in other news,
i'm a bit stressed out about this research subject
i've read about 10 research papers and none of them have really good info i need

so i need to keep looking

until i find at least one.

so then i can write my hypothesis which is due tmr.

sigh.

♥

p.s. i never would have thought i would ever write, or sort of write, something about neighbours in the blog. but there you go.

YES! photos #208

EMMA!

photo of us at the Strokes :)

+ your friend

i put up one of each member that night

for viewing purposes

& i particularly like the one of albert hammond jr. smirking at the camera

cute :)

haha.

these photos & many others from thevine.com.au

(it's because on the night we asked the photographers who they worked for, that's how i found them ;)

#207

had quite an interesting ethics tutorial today at 9am
it wasn't as bad or as scary as i thought it would be
also, because i hadn't actually read all the reading material beforehand
so i was a little fearful
but the tute was more or less just discussing different scenarios
which i thought was interesting

but another issue that came up was about the 'anti immunisation' groups forming
and all that
and well, i agree with my tutor (not that anymore in our group disagreed)
i'm quite against the anti immunisation groups
or better said, i am for immunisation of adults and children
because the anti groups
all their views stem from emotion and pretty much no evidence
because yes, their may be some side effects from immunisation
but how much worse would contracting 'whooping cough', 'small pox', 'tetanus', 'hep B', etc. compared to this
sure it might be a bit of pain, arm tenderness and headache, etc.
but compared to what you are immunising against
thats nothing.

and compared to the very low percent of actually recieving a serious adverse effect from immunisation
not immunising your child, puts them at higher risk of contracting these relatively serious diseases
which is much worse.
and actively choosing to put your child at risk,
sounds to me like bad parenting.
(i do emphasise the 'actively choosing' bit, eg. when children get vaccinated at school refusing to sign the form of consent. i do not mean it as being: not having children vaccinated because of lack of access) .

some things don't change #206

this is off a the strokes discussion group, i posted 3 years ago.

as you can see, most of my favourite songs are the same.

the only questions i'd answer different now is:

have i seen them in concert?

and my overall fav song

its funny because if you look at the forum post

jacky's one is right under mine.

(clearly, this was during the time he was trying to impress me. HAHA.)
