too much tv

so i watched a ton of shows yesterday simply because they all came out yesterday

i watched: survivor, america's next top model, modern family, up all night, free agents

i actually preferred free agents to up all night this week, the ending kinda made it too awkward. i don't like watching things that make me feel too awkward (which is one of the reasons why i stopped watching the office).

i also really enjoyed modern family, but it felt a bit weird how they changed lily. and that lily can talk so much now (and clearly), that it doesn't make sense she's 3. i mean 3 year olds can talk but not that clearly. i actually really enjoyed the silence of old lily, it really contrasted her extravagant parents and her. though i do like this new lily, it will just take some adjusting, that's all.

oh, also watched new girl, the day before that

i kinda like it

as in the episode is kinda slow but funny

but the ending of that episode was hilarious!

i really liked the douchebag jar as well

HAHA.

Spring shows

I feel like this spring isn't going to be that great for me uni work wise, and I say this because all my shows are coming back, and there's a lot of them. I mean, A LOT.

Survivor and America's Next Top Model came back last night, and I can tell this season of ANTM is going to be great because of the season preview. I mean they will be writing their own songs and singing them, and doing the music video for them. On a modeling show? Really? This is going to be HILARIOUS! And check out the final photo of all the models photoshopped together. I mean, someone was seriously having a crack when they thought it was a good idea to photoshop the girls spilling out of the bubble bath/pool AND Alexandria is no longer on a surf board, she now rides a motorcycle. AHAHAHAHA! Oh, this season is going to be so fun(ny)! I am glad that Allison Harvard (ie. creepy chan) is back, if you've read my older posts you may know I had a slight obsession over her.

I also started watching Up All Night today, pretty funny and light, I'll probably continue to watch it. It kind of reminds me of Raising Hope and Cam & Mitchell on Modern Family, sort of. (simply because they are also shows about raising babies)

And I also started Free Agents as well. I liked that too, but I'm not sure if I like it enough to continue watching. Maybe if I'm bored or something.

Also, the other shows I'm waiting for:
- Chuck (!!)

- Nikita (!)

- Community (!)

- How I met your mother
- Big Bang Theory
- Modern Family (sort of, I mean I do like the show but I'm more inclined to watch it when I'm bored rather than follow it every week)

New shows I may start:
- New Girl, simply because I love Zooey Deschanel :)

- (and as I said: Up All Night)

I think that's it, I have way too many shows already.

As I said, this is so not looking good for uni work.

Finally there's a blogger app for iPhones :) will blog more frequently now.

nails

so i did my nails today,
check it out.

pretty cool huh?

took me a little while to do, but it was my first time doing nails like this

so it came out pretty decent.

i was following this nail tutorial :)

though hers looks much better in the nail tutorial

but i think if i do it again i'll have to use all the same brand of nail polishes

♥♥

tumblr

for a website that is really just meant for sharing photos and videos and quotes

its sure hard to use.

you can't find photos with two separate tags (so you can narrow your search down)

and changing the settings is so hard

because i can never find where to go.

that said,

i do have a tumblr: here

rejection

so, i thought this was funny.

from here

epiphany

so i sort of had an epiphany the other day.

i realised that i must have really short arms,

(i guess its assumed because i'm short, but i never really had this realisation.)

so the reason why i had this epiphany

is that the other day

i realised ALL my jackets and cardigans are way to long for me

and they all go up to my hands.

that's why a lot of my clothes look very big and baggy on me.

um, yes that is all.

stay tuned for more pointless realisations in the future.

toodles!

when we were kids

i love this, its hilarious!
and when you hear them argue you realise how ridiculous our arguments were when we were young.
i particularly like the 'your client is guilty times infinity' then 'your client is guilty times infinity plus 1'
and the 'i know you are but what am i'
and the 'jinx'
and the 'Nuh-AH' and the 'Yuh-HA'
because i remember these comebacks when i was in primary :)
and i also love the 'well, my client is rubber and yours is glue, and what ever you say bounces off him and sticks to you."

love it ♥

update

sorry i've been away for a while;

i intend to come back.

but probably with little random short posts because i'll link this to my phone,

so i can blog to my phone.

though i do like adding photos, especially .gifs

but it just takes a lot more time and work

and i don't want this to feel like work.

which is probably the reason why i keep stopping my blog posts.

in short, i will probably revert to the way i used to blog.

ie. random rants.

♥

i also think i might change the blog title/layout soon

as in, i really like my layout (since it too me forever to fix the code) but i might just change the colour scheme and back ground and things.

but that's a maybe.

whenever I listen to The Antlers - Kettering, it never ceases to make me want to cry

(it a good way though, because the song is so moving.)

if love is just a game, how come its no fun?

if love is just a game, how come i've never won?

I guess maybe it's possible I might be playing it wrong
and that's why every time I roll the dice
I always come undone."

Noah & the Whale - 2 atoms in a molecule

CHUCK

(SPOILER ALERT)

just finished all four seasons in a week

and the season 4 finale

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

mind blown.

i mean, yes, the episode was titled: "Chuck vs. the Cliffhanger"

and boy, it was a cliffhanger

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT (for those who haven't watched)

you've been warned.

so, Morgan is the new intersect

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

what?

i mean i know or at least i predict that chuck will eventually get it back

i mean the show is called 'chuck'

and its about chuck because of the intersect

thus he must get it back

right??

i hope so.

i mean, morgan is brave and all

but he can't be the intersect or the only intersect next season

right??

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i really really really hope chuck gets it back.

i mean really really really really.

"I wish I had known in that minute we met, the unpayable debt that I owed you."

Kettering - The Antlers

its a weird feeling when you feel like you are losing a friend that you thought you'd always have

"I think she hits the turtles."

I love this clip, its so funny.

I love how he put subtitles for Jose Luis, and the subtitles do actually kind of sound like what he's mumbling.

I also wonder how they make Jose Luis talk so much, or maybe he just likes talking a lot.

I like Arturo's type of humour, its very (I'm sure how to describe it) dry and sarcastic? But anyway, I've also watched his other videos and they're also pretty funny. But this one is my favourite.

love it ♥

Also, yes I finally turned Google Adsense on. Though it would probably take me ages to actually get paid for anything, I figured since I've posted over 400 blogs just on this blog, and over a thousand blogs, i think, if you include my old blog as well. So I figured that maybe if I can get anything from it, I should try. Sorry, if that makes me a sell out.

But having said that, I will start putting more work into this blog after exams. Since I have 400+ blogs on here, I shall begin to categorise my blogs because I sure not all of you want to read all my stuff about 'Community' (though it is a hilarious show and I highly recommend it) or all my random music posts or any other thing I might be obsessing about.

But in the meantime, time to study for exams.

BOO!

Hospice - The Antlers

I have had this album for quite a while now, and I had listened to it before many times. Though today, I actually really listened to it whilst reading the CD sleeve, reading and listening to the lyrics as they are sung. And honestly, no other album has ever cut me so deep in affecting my personal state.

This album is so unbelievably haunting.

This album follows a story of the relationship between a hospice worker and a terminally ill patient, Sylvia. The patient is depressed and is haunted in her sleep, which leads her to be verbally and mentally abusive towards the hospice worker, however still the hospice worker either falls in love with or has an extreme love for the patient. The patient eventually dies, but not without leaving lasting emotional scars on the hospice worker.

As Peter Silberman puts it (interview from thefader.com): "A hospice can be representative of what emotional and psychological abuse can do. Let’s say as a hospice worker, you’re taking a lot of verbal abuse from someone who is dying, cause they’re, absolutely and rightfully so, bitter about what’s happening and feeling like it’s completely unfair, which it most obviously is. And you’re in the position of feeling like you have no right to complain about your situation because it’s so much worse for them. So you think the least I can do is give them a punching bag."

and continuing from another interview here: "...You don't have to right to argue with them either, because they're the one that's dying here; they're the one that's been dealt the wrong hand. So you take it, but you can only take so much. Eventually, you realise that this person is destroying you."

When I truly listened to it for the first time, I could feel myself being haunted by the story telling. I could truly imagine the situation, the setting and felt the mood of the whole piece sink into my own body. And when I say haunted, I do mean I for some reason was feeling scared not sure why, but the piece along with its story also reminded me of scary films set in creepy hospital with mentally ill patients. But I'm pretty sure that's just me.

But the emotion that comes through as this story of the hospice worker and patient is reflective of an emotionally abusive relationship.

"Basically, what I would say the album is about, I would say this for the sake of anyone who would listen to it, it’s about an experience I had in a very emotionally abusive relationship and the pulling myself out of that, and the effect that it had on my life at the time."

However, I have read many reviews that describe the light that seeps especially at the end through this dark piece. But at this point, I am still coming to terms with the depressing story and the sheer emotion of the whole piece.

This isn't my usual type of blog, it isn't as light hearted as it would normally be. But I am writing this under my current state, still feeling extremely overcome. As I said in the beginning, no other album has ever so severely affected my mental state.

And after saying all of that, it is an amazing album. Do go listen to it, if you haven't already. It may not affect you as it had affected me, but I guarantee you that if you truly sit and listen to it you will feel the emotion of it all. It's quite brilliant and chilling at the same time.

I will have to halt my '30 Day Community Challenge' because I'll need to study for exams.

But I'll finish them once I'm done with them. It's just that it takes a while finding the pictures/videos I want to add for the day.

But I'll still blog, most likely. I like to rant about stuff during exams, cos I'm like that.

Day DOCE // Favourite Troy Moment

- Troy in his dance class, after stripping off his breakaway clothing

- Troy sneezing

Jeff: "Hey, Troy sneezes like a girl."

Troy: "And how bout I pound you like a boy, that didn't come out right."

Shirley: "Won't you all leave him alone with his cute little baby sneeze?"

Troy: "You're not my mother."

Pierce: "She's not?"

Jeff: "29 seconds."

HAHA.

- Troy meeting Levar Burton

Troy: "I've told Pierce a thousand times, I never wanted to meet Levar in person! I just wanted a picture! You can't disappoint a picture! I hate you Pierce! I hate you so much!"

- Troy: "I had a dream it would end this way" during Paintball/Star Wars episode

- Troy crying (there's a few different scenes in this clip, all of which are funny)

its in the previous clip as well bu this is funny as:

Jar of Hearts

A song I have been singing a lot lately:

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

And who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars.

Collecting your jar of hearts;
Tearing love apart.

You're gonna catch a cold;
From the ice inside your soul.

So don't come back for me;
Don't come back at all."

♥♥

also, i do like the original much more than glee's version, it has much more emotion in the song.

Day ONCE // Favourite Annie moment

I have mentioned a couple already, including Annie's gravy train (see Day #4) and here random dance moments (see Day #1) but here's more:

- I love Annie's disney face (I can't find a clip for it, so here's a picture.)

Jeff: "Now she's gonna make the Disney face. Her lip is going to quiver and her eyes will flutter, but they won't ever actually close, but DO NOT feel sorry for her!"

-When Annie almost kisses Britta

-When Annie gets a free backpack and does the robot (Contemporary American Poultry)

- The Annie/Black Rider moments in 'A Fist Full of Paintballs'

Annie: "Stop trying to fluster me with your handsomeness. You’re creepy."

Random funny .gif of Annie when Pierce was hallucinating:
