Entree

Ha ha ha. Yeeeeeah. Been a bit busy, ya see.

Just letting you know I am alive and well and there are real updates to come! Soon!

Meantime- the meme that Jess, Greg and I built:

1. Pineapple (T/F)?
   Well, you're really asking 2 questions there, but True to both.
   
2. Your opinion on emos?
   I judge that on an emo by emo basis.
   
3. And the word "emos"?
   Suitably degrading yet strange enough to confound the elderly.
   
4. How many emos does it take to screw in a light bulb?
   Two. One to change it, one to contemplate bleeding from bulb shards.
   
5. Why are we picking on emos?
   Style of the day.
   
6. Favourite Magic card (if you don't like Magic, make something up)?
   Giant Tortoise
   
7. Favorite US county and why?
   Mordor. That's one, right?
   
8. If you were to design a new emoticon, what would it be?
   Sad face. Really sad face. A little ASCII visage of such despair, upon seeing it you will never be the same again.
   
9. If you were to design an internet quiz, what would your next question be?
   "Which way to the restroom, sir or madam?"
   
10. Wordy, word?
    You make a good point.
    
11. Was it as good for you as it was for me?
    It's not over yet, my friend!
    
12. Who do you think will do this quiz?
    The brave or the stupid.
    
13. Are you a start menu at the top or start menu at the bottom type of person?
    It has to be at the bottom. Things start at the bottom. It's the natural order.
    
14. What is you favorite Trap door character?
    The best damn talking skull there is, Boni. (Correct spelling according to the internets). Hamlet might not have gone on that insane rampage if he had this guy around instead.
    
15. So what music player do you use?
    FooBar! It's so nifty. Hamlet might not have gone on that insane rampage if he had this player for his Dido instead.
    
16. Yes?
    Unquestionably.
    
17. At what point of the nursery rhyme "Over the Hills and Far Away" (the one about ducks) do you get fed up?
    After about 3 ducks.
    
18. Who do you think wrote this question?
    I know who wrote this question! I can't tell you! That would undermine the integrity of this very professional meme we have here.
    
19. Provide a paragraph describing the ugliest thing you can see.
    That would be the newspaper that I've left open on my desk. It's a story I have no interest in reading about an author who uses his next book to defame his exwife or some malarchy. As if the text wasn't ugly enough, the big close up on his face ain't gonna win any photography awards.
    
20. What time is it according to the clock that is least accurate in your current location?
    1.18am
    
21. What other websites do you have open (do not censor)? If you don't have any others open, what was the last site you visited?
    Yahoo, deviantArt, SEEK, "Boni Trapdoor - Google Image Search", WotC Forum, Hotmail.
    
22. Vegemite or Monkey Paste?
    Vegemite. It tastes great. Well, no, that's a lie. But I like eating it anyway.
    
23. Boom or Bust?
    BOOOOOM!
    
24. Stop or Reset?
    Stop. Right now. Thankyouverymuch.
    
25. Inclusive or Exclusive?
    Exclusive.
    
26. Bicubic Interpolation or Cygwin Ports?
    The first one.
    
27. Can you believe its not butter?
    Yes! And I have the bicubic interpolations to prove it.
    
28. Are you trapped?
    Sometimes.
    
29. Do you need assistance?
    Often.
    
30. Google or Yahoooooooo!?
    Constantly.
    
31. Who is your favourite Teen Girl (of the Teen Girl Squad)?
    Whats-her-face.
    
32. Did you just Google the last question? Coz I think you did.
    You were wrong. You're losing your touch!

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.

New blog, same great taste

Fear me, Internet! For I am back amongst you.

You all knew I couldn't stay away for long.

I can't have 'tranquilised' apparently. And neither can anyone else. Even me pretending to be someone else. So 'ifnotmoreso' was born.

Since the... unpleasantness... at DX, I figure my blogging may as well be omnipresent.

It's a tragedy. I only had random snippets of insanity, and I'M sad about it. Some people's LIVES were in there.

Oh the things I've done since my last DX post. Unfortunately I'm not going to report these things. I'm throwing them to the winds. 24 hours will be the cut-off for retrospectivity in this blog, I think.

But get me to tell you about the guy in the train when I see you.

Goodnight all.
