Chronicles

Thursday, April 17

Alright alright. I'm here. Ok actually I'm typing this thing offline and then stealing a couple minutes to send e-mail and post this. So i'm here but not really.
I should make this a nice long blog considering I owe you one. *sigh*

So let's see summary of past...2 (?) weeks and basic emotional crap that I've been going through.

I'm back on mIRC. Dear God help us all. There's this channel that Pravs dragged me to and well it's been rather distracting indeed. Really nice people though - don't think I've quite fit in anywhere foreign so fast - usually those places are so unfriendly. Must be the maturity (hah!) that abounds. Of course considering my ISP problems *cough* I haven't been able to be online as much and it's driving me crazy - epsecially with work. When I need to get online I just can't and it's the most irritating thing ever.

I'm nursing my sorrow with TV - quite a lot of actually. I'll have to tell you the whole list of the shit I've been checking out lately.
Monsoon Wedding - I saw most of it (I think) and it's veryyy good. That's one of the foreign films that has made it big. I need to see Am�lie soon else will die! Anyhow Monsoon has hotties as well and not-so-annoying Indian music as the others have. I stomached it and if I could so can you. Go watch it. Now.
Chaplin - finally - after all these years. I caught it starting and wasn't even going to watch the whole thing, but I figured heck this is one of those "important" ones. Despite a couple phone call interruptions, it was pretty insightful.
Panic Room - Whoa. Cinematography was hella good, especially knowing it was all digitally..planned.= or whatever. Wow. Of course the story line sucked donkey balls but who's counting. It was pretty enough in a nice macabre way.
Flatliners - After that Dad said, "I'm sure you dunno what the hel that was about". I was like, "Uhm well I saw it from thae start you know ! You didn't!" Sheesh. When it started I had no clue what it was, but then I saw the cast of Keifer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Billy Baldwin Oliver Platt and Kevin Bacon. Could not resist. Didn't realise it was so old (don't ask me the year) - they just were all so young and bootiful. Yuck ... the Baldwins should live up to their names and bloody well be rid of all their chest/belly hair. Bleh. Overall it was shitty enough but wth a supposedly good message. Joy.
High Crimes - Ashley Judd can really cry alot. Werd. But then so can Jodie Foster. I REALLY like Jim Caviezel. Goddamn - something about his half innocent look that makes me want to do very bad things... *produces halo* This one was good I guess. I realised how much men LIE. Ugh. Big fat ugly liars them all. I do wonder though if she didn't find out he was evil if they would have lived happily ever after. Hum. Brr. Makes ya think though :( Ladies do thorough background checks on your boys/husbands. I guess it sorta is good to live in a small place where no matter where you go you're bound to find someone you know, or who knows your mother's great aunt or something.
*snicker*
What else? Omg - those last 4 movies were yesterday alone! Ack. Also watched parts of Blade II which I had seen already. Cable is evil. Hehehe. I should have been SLEEPING. I eventually did around oh 3 am after tossing and turning a while.

Then there's music. I'm in such a mellow mood of late aand have not been able to get new mp3's for and I'm stuck with the old stuff. I haven't even been doing the techno thing much. Why? Just no mood really. So here's what's mostly playing :

Latin Scene :
Jesse Cook - Canci�n Triste (Flamenco)
Alejandro Sanz - El Alma al Aire
Alejandro Sanz and The Corrs - Una Noche M�s
Ni�a Pastori - Ca�
Mecano - Hijo de la Luna
Juan Luis Guerra - Burbujas De Amor
Jac� Velasquez - Como Se Cura Una Herida
Alexandre Pires - Vd. Se Me Llevo La Vida

Chill/Alt/Whatever :
Tonic - Sugar
Fiona Apple - Sullen Girl
Rufus Wainwright - He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother
Neve - It's Over Now
Tantric - Mourning
Stereophonics - Don't Let Me Down
Ben Harper - Strawbery Fields Forever
The Vines - I'm Only Sleeping
Ben Folds - Golden Slumbers
The Cure - Lovesong
No Doubt - Underneath It All
The Tea Party - Samsara
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm
Gorillaz - Left Hand Suzuki Method (omg the bass!)

To name a few!

No I have no shame for listening to this mushy stuff. Leave me alone :P
Damn remind me to get that Crash Test Dummies song - Peter Pumpkinhead. I was in love that song a few years ago. Oh goddamn...that was about '94 wasn't it? Shit am old. Hehehe. I still have TAPES from back then. Before I had a CD player - yes I was a late acquisitioner-of-CD player. I have a ton of 90 minute tapes and have no clue what to do with em. Have to start making tapes for the ones who still have decks in their cars.

I keep wondering what I was in my previous life you know. If there is that...which...it is quite possible. I feel these strange inexplicable connections with music, places, eras. Strange. My imagination running away again perhaps. *ponder*

Must be the heat - me and my wandering thoughts. *pauses for musical bliss* This is a well done song and I love Gwen Stefani. Course this song (Underneath It All) applies to no one. Haha.

Ack headache!

Ok there you go. A big blog.
Uhm guess I haven't told you what my scene is?
I'm in the process of re-planning my life. I'm also doing some work - of which I'd really like to get paid for. This leaves little or no time for my own site. Course I could have been doing that instead of blogging, but then you wou;dn't be entertained now would you?

*sends love to all and sundry*

(Yay the one I thought doesn't read does! Whee!)
