bury me in this dress

What a crappy day! My mom went apeshit on me this morning. What happened was, I tried to weasel off coming to work this morning and texted her to ask permission if I can come in after lunch. She asked why so I told her the truth, that I want to sleep some more. I should have just lied but my brain wasn’t functioning and couldn’t come up with a more believable excuse. Anyway, the reason why I was so sleepy is because I watched Freaks and Geeks until 2:30 am and I think I got to sleep past 3. I didn’t tell her that of course.

Back to my story.

Mom texted back that I should go to work and that the driver will pick me up. I still slept for a bit though but by 10:30, I was ready to go to work. The driver still wasn’t there so I was just in my room and took a nap. Mom and the driver got back to the house around 12:30 and she was mad as hell. She said I should have gone to the office by myself instead of waiting for the driver. I was incredulous and reasoned back that she clearly said to me that the driver would fetch me so that’s why I waited. Well, if she’s in one of those moods, there’s really no reasoning with her. She went on and on, telling me that I’m undisciplined (true), irresponsible (true), unreliable (when it comes to work, yeah), have no respect for her (true only if she’s like this), etc etc. She said that I shouldn’t have asked her if I can come in after lunch since I already know that I should always come in early especially if she’s absent from work. I told her that I was ready to go to work by 10:30 and had no plans of becoming absent. That I was still in the house because she told me that the driver would get me. She kept on saying that I should have gone by myself though. Yadda yadda yadda. I became so frustrated that I began to cry which took me by surprise. It felt weird because while I was crying, I didn’t feel like I was but the tears just kept on pouring. It’s the first time I cried since I first started taking Efexor. Maybe it does weird things to me.

The water works pissed her off even more. My sister called her on the cellphone and, since mom’s gone batty, she kept yelling at her all the time. Poor sister. By that time, I decided that I had to get out of the house because I couldn’t stand her anymore. I took my work stuff fast and took the driver with me.

Man, I hate it when mother goes batshit crazy like this. I hope that by the time I come home, she’s back to normal.

There’s too much drama in this entry so I’ll talk about Freaks and Geeks a bit. I totally loved it and I think the 2,000 plus Pesos I spent on the DVD is well worth it. I’m just disappointed that the show has only 18 episodes. I want to follow the characters more but that’s all I would get since it got cancelled after 1 season. I don’t know why but I think the people responsible for its cancellation should be stoned to death. Same goes for those who cancelled My So-Called Life. My favorite F & G characters are Nick and Sam.

Got this macrochan from some site.

I’m a big fan of Wong Kar-Wai so let me post this forwarded email.

Things Wong Kar-wai Taught Me About Love
by Alice Dallow

1. Requited love is an impossibility.

2. You will fall in love only once. Obstacles will
prevail. The rest of your life is spent recovering.

3. Eroticising their possessions will be the pinnacle
of your sexual fulfilment.

4. Anything that distracts you from the pain of your
loss is good. Some people are more successful in this
regard than others.

5. Hook up with someone. Live with them. Sleep with
them. Tag along. Don’t be fooled. You are only a
transitory distraction. Ask for commitment. Declare
your love. Watch the set up evaporate.

6. The most potent way to exist is to occupy someone
else’s imagination.

7. Desire is kept eternally alive by the impossibility
of contact.

8. Modern communication enabling technologies will
only heighten your sense of desolation by making you
more keenly aware of the fact that no one is trying to
call.

(Alice Dallow is a long time fan of Wong Kar-wai’s
films. In her spare time she makes shorts films and
music clips.)

Nothing new here so I’ll just post this since I found it hilarious.

Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their collections of actual similes and metaphors found in high school essays. Here are last year’s top 25 winners (or losers?):

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances, like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E.Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.
16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.
18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

I just watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and it pains me to say that I didn’t enjoy it much. Most of the time I found myself lost in thought and not focusing on the movie. I think it’s too long. I also had a difficult time understanding the pirates with their unfamiliar “Gaaar” accent. Maybe I have to watch it again but I think I’ll wait for it to appear on DVD so I can have it with subtitles. Mom and my sister liked the movie a lot though so I have a feeling that it’s just me who got bored.

Did anybody else notice the resemblance between the villains and the metal band Gwar? I think the resemblance is uncanny. I have a feeling that there are a number of headbangers in the conceptualization team for the movie.

The members of Gwar

It’s been a long time since I wrote something even remotely cheerful so what the heck. I’m clicking away at Blog Explosion when I saw a new game going around. I think Wrong Side of the Bed started it and got picked up by other bloggers. I just followed Some Girl with Some Life’s lead and since it looks fun, I joined the bandwaggon.

The object of the game is to google image search your name (I’m assuming it’s your first name or a nick name, I picked first time) and post the first picture in your own blog. Well here is mine.

It won’t allow he to hotlink so I had to save the picture in my webserver. Just click the thumbnail to enlarge. Anyway, meet Karen. I may be as fat as her but I’m no bride. She looks so sweet in the picture.

I haven’t visited Masamania for months and I missed a lot of his posts. Well tonight I did a lot of catching up and as usual, Masa never fails to brighten my erm…night. Here’s a snippet of his entry…

In Japan, girls hesitate to show their boob in public in addition that showing boob in public is strictly banned. This is the main reason Japanese girls wear shirts even though there is no necessity to hide their boob because of their flat size of boob. And I think that USA girls also need not hide their boob, because no country law banning to hide plastic object. Or they should take off t shirts rather than wearing it because at least t-shirts is made by natural material, cotton.

Brilliant!

The death clock is just an ordinary site which computes the date of your death based on your date of birth, sex, smoking habits, and body mass index (BMI). You get to choose between the ff modes: normal, pessimistic, sadistic, and optimistic.

I got March 16, 2037 based on normal mode, January 1, 2019 on pessimistic, and March 16, 2007 on sadistic. I didn’t bother with optimistic mode.

Reasons to be cheerful
People having a worse month than you
1. Indian farmer D Jaggalah died after drinking bootleg booze. Villagers at his cremation raised a glass to toast their friend, but used the same batch of alcohol that killed Jaggalah. Ten funeral goers were poisoned. And died.

2. Sam McGilton, a 72 year-old West Virginia man was arrested while being caught masturbating in a library, while wearing a flowery dress, red stilettos and a bouffant woman’s wig.
3. Dog Condoms Inc had to recall their product due to “an unacceptable failure rate resulting in canine pregnancies.” Plus the meat-scented rubbers were proving too tempting, and proving to be a choking hazard.

4. Richard Parker from Felixstowe got drunk in his local pub, undressed, urinated in the pocket of the pool table, stuck a pool ball between his arse cheeks, walked through the pub and deposited it in a drip tray at the bar. Richard was sentenced to 28 days in prison.
