Ramblings of a sotong

I hate people who...

Ask stupid questions like, "Do you know you're eating a cow?" Like I'm the only idiot on the planet who doesn't know that, oh wow, beef comes from moo cows that like to chew cud when they're standing around meadows. Or your regular factory farm, whatever.

Ask stupid questions like, "Do you know that's cig's gonna kill you?" Like I'm the only...okay, so I don't smoke. That doesn't mean I don't cringe when people assume they're the only people who know that cigarettes are bad for health. So's drinking, so's driving, so's breathing, but I don't see anyone complaining about those.


In other news...

Exam season. Hate scholars. Hate CTR. Wished week was over.

Yet more news...
Was taken to an audio company on Friday. Was also given a grand tour of the rooms they use to make movies not sound like bad porn. Naturally I wouldn't know anything about porn, bad or otherwise. A friend of The Man also explained a lot of audio-related tidbits to me and I never knew how much work went into creating one simple scene in a movie. Well, if you wanna do it right, of course.

Went for some ice-cream. I love ice-cream, there's something about cold, sweet, creamy stuff melting in your mouth that just makes the world a prettier place. Went for a drive afterwards, exploring some places and watched a lot of scenery. Tarred roads are fine, especially if you're only clad in cheap plastic slippers, but I kinda like dead-ends more, especially if they're untarred with weeds and trees by the side. They're kinda mysterious in a way, cos you already know there's absolutely nothing when you reach the end of the road, but if you keep your eyes peeled there's bound to be some stuff along the way that makes your eyes sparkle and the whole trip'll worthwhile.

Kinda like life.

Went for wonderfully soft and juicy tandoori chicken. Not like the tree bark my dad bought once. :p Also went for beer later in the evening, and my magic lucky pen came to the rescue! Free beer, w00tness! Free beer always puts me in a good mood, heheh.

Expenses were all on The Man, who has this weird thing about splitting the bill and Swiss Mushroom burgers. That day we chatted about sunsets, my parents, tentacle porn, my normal-ness, relationships, bloggers, anal sex, rainbows and stalkers. Of course, there were other stuff, but I'm blur when I'm cramming for exams, so I can't remember most of the topics right now.

Thank god for Friday. Would definitely have not have been able to keep a sane mind today if it weren't for the relaxing bits. I hate exams. Can't wait for the end of this week before I'll be free, finally free of this stupid cannonball chained to my leg.

Then I can play KoTOR 2 with a clear conscience.

Scribbles:
The people who should be named have already been named, and those who have not shall remain unnamed for the time being. God I'm horny. And that was totally random. Thanks for wading through that block of text, and g'night.

I got ppl asking me wierd question all the time too, those question that they already know the answer. Hate it so much, purposely one.

Who is The Man? Blur as sotong now .

One word in the whole big paragraph caught my eye ...
Kotor2, you make me hate the gamer in me ... i am so playing solitaire right now ...

:(

Cool logo. Do they make shirts of that? Haven't even played Kotor 1 yet :( Damn they don't make nice RPGs anymore. It's all war/tactical games. even the FPSs are masquearding as 'real' games :((

Good luck on your exams;

Fish Fish said...

Good luck dear~ for the exam. Then... rest time! :P

narrowband said...

Who's The Man?


And what's Kotor? Non gamer here :(

Btw, interesting topics you had with The Man. Hmm.....

Swiss Mushroom Burgers!

Tandoori Chicken!

I have a Swiss Mushroom burger often (since the place here on residence sells them, and they're my only real late-night meal-choice...) but I haven't really had good Tandoori in AGES...

*envy!*

Your post has succeeded in making this skinny boy very, very hungry.

Good luck with KoTOR II. I had some gfx problems with it running an ATI card (though fixable, just a pain in the ass) but it's a bloody good game.

Johann said...

By the way, I highly protest to you calling me a Yank in your journal post.

Canadian != Yank.

Canadian = Awesome.

British-Canadian = even more awesome.

Yank = ... well... Yank.

Though I leave it up to your conscience... since it does read better when I am called a Yank along with Bry than otherwise.

LoL...kinda funny post! :)

@MrKiasu:
Yeah! *high five* But I'm not sure if they're really doing it on purpose of if they're just plain stupid. My money's on the latter. *grins*

@Lancie:
Erm, let's call him Hugo, okay? That's sorta related anyway, and it sounds less weird than The Man, like he's god or something. 0_o

You should've gotten a working PC rather than an iPod ler, considering you'll be there for 3 years...

Kayu. :D

@Bawang:
I dunno, I found it in my HD the other day and thought I'd write a post about it. :) Unfortunately only came up with 2 points, so had to pad it up a bit with irrelevant stuff.

Hey, FPSes are real games! But KOTOR is not too bad, at least it's not stupid like some of the stupider games. Go try try la, but remember to keep lots and lots of save files, cos it's very buggy. :p

What happened to your blog, btw? If you changed your liks I expect a heads-up, dear. :)

@Fish fish:
Thanks dearie. :) Will read your blog after this week is over, cos can RELAX liao!!!!

@Narrowband:
He's a smashing guy I met through blogging. This internet thing is wonderful, innit? *grins* I think we'll call him Hugo for now.

Kotor = knights of the Old Republic 2, which is an rpg based on the Star Wars universe. It's not bad as far as RPGs go. Try it, try it. It's fun!

/Jedi mind tricks :D

@Banjo:
My swiss mushroom fetish can only be scratched by the stuff in NK, so they're prolly not as good as the ones you have in the Frozen Land. :)

If your visit Malaysia plan ever takes off, I'll bring you to the tandoori chicken place and we'll have a blast. I'll even buy you a beer, how's that?

Toughnuts on the Kotor deal, dude. I'll be hoping you get to play sometime. :)

@Banjo:
I know, I realised after I posted it, but then like you said it sounds better that way. Canada's really America anyway. *ducks*

@SBM:
Heheh, thanks. :)

Saffron said...

Gosh typos.

@Bawang:
liks = links

@Banjo:
First reply, NK = BK = Burger King, just to be safe. :)

Johann said...

Wow. Lots of typos in mine too. I'm not going to bother to fix all of them, except some continuity problems (soooo tired, stupid 6 AM)

"working on light side whenever I get the oppurtunity. ->> Which is often, since schoolwork has pretty much dropped to the bottom of my priority list. *sigh*"

No 'either' in "and during my breaks I'm making money (for school)."
