Rain of flames isn't an easy thing.

So there's this horrible, horrible invention on the Blogger mainpage that scrolls through random links to all the people updating their blogs. And I have had no choice but to open every one of them until the stability of my broswer was put in jeapardy. Following random links is great. Don't -quite- remember how I got here, though.

So that's what I've been doing with my afternoon. You?

One of my assignments previously due this saturday was set back 24 hours. And for some reason this has flicked the "oh well, won't start for 24 more hours" switch in my brain.

I'm doomed.

I'm blogging again in earnest... I think. Do not be surprised if I give it a miss every other fortnight. Let the madness BEGIN!

I really just want to do some of those quizzes, now that my previous versions thereof have been eradicated. For today, we'll be revisiting what FooBar2000 thinks of me. Given playlist changes, maybe there's been some re-evaluation.

I doubt anything will beat Jess's: "What's my favourite fetish? Dead Gardens - Nightwish" though.

What do you think of me, FooBar?
Rain of a Thousand Flames - Rhapsody

Oh. Well. I'm bringing the apocalypse. You bring the chips.

Will I have a happy life?
Sweet Surrender - Sarah McLachlan

So you mean I give up and then everything turns out alright? That's... melancholy.

What do my friends really think of me?
Rapid Hope Loss - Dashboard Confessional

OH. DEAR. Guys! Don't give up on me just yet! Things aren't going well so far.

Do people secretly lust after me?
Get Gotten - Ben Lee

Haha. Hear that, stalkers? Now's your chance!

How can I make myself happy?
Such Great Heights - Iron and Wine

Great amounts of iron and wine. Check. That must be the ultimate diet.

What should I do with my life?
Trying to Impress the Bargirl - Tripod

Haha! Spend my time being a sleazy, flirting drunk then? Check.

Why must life be so full of pain?
Apocalypse Please - Muse

Listen, I'm working on it. Rain of flames isn't an easy thing.

How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Sexy - Black Eyed Peas

Don't be a smartarse.

Will I ever have children?
Lothlorien - Nightwish

So, elven children? Or maybe... eleven children?

Will I die happy?
Elsewhere - Sarah McLachlan

Oh, well that's a given. Worst. suburbs. ever.

Can you give me some advice?
The White Tree - London Oratory School Scholars

Yes, once again, your wisdom is too cryptic. Better advice? Winding Road - Bonnie Somerville.

You're absolutely right. Take it as it comes, you can't see far ahead.

What do you think happiness is?
Touched - Vast

Oh, you dirty thang. And not just touched. But VASTLY touched.

What's my favourite fetish?
Buskers - Tripod

Haha. I don't think so. They're generally smelly and obnoxious. But maybe I just don't frequent the Harbour on the right days.

I just read an article on SMH where people again complain about how they're teaching English, calling for the PM to stop the "post-modern rubbish" and bring back some Shakespeare. Guess what? Students are sick to death of Shakespeare. The Bard pokes his stupid, pencil-sketched head up every year. And while the debate rages on, let me tell you: Shakespeare is simply not as relevant as it could be. If anything, we have to prune the Shakepeare components. And embrace the marvellous post-modern nonsense. But anyways, what a dumb issue. Someone get the activists to focus on sperlling.

Speaking of post-modern nonsense with reduced Shakepeare components (by which I mean- that whole paragraph was just a segue), I saw She's the Man with my sister the other day. I love Amanda Bynes. People say Jim Carrey and Steve Martin have got good facial expressions. They got nuthin. All this, and I enjoy Twelfth Night, it's one of the funniest plays.

So together these facts make it a wholly enjoyable movie. Well, when I say wholly, the denouement after typical football-stadium plot-revelation is pretty much a downhill slide. But up until then I laughed so loudly that I threatened the inconspicuousness that my sister held paramount at seeing said movie.

4 outta 5 fake sideburns. Stop taking yourself so seriously, SEE IT ALREADY!

Who can suggest a good movie to see next cheapo tuesday? Noting Ice Age [1] was not even a good CHILDREN's movie and V for Vendetta doesn't pique my interest at all.
