The world is turning but my life is already upside down

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

As much as I hate my Aunt Flow fucking up my system with over-the-top “emotions” I sure do love how it makes me connect with myself, to place myself before anyone else and to realize it isn’t always best to ’settle’ cause it’s easy and you, wait I, deserve better! (more on this later! I have a book to summarize!)

Anyway, I’m thinking about getting a subscription to Last.FM ($3/month) – I’m all into “exploring” more music these days. Seems like I have a shitload piled up that I either haven’t listened to, listened to proper or at all. I like how based on your listening habits you can listen to other bands ‘alike’ etc… My 30 day trial was up last week though. I’m still messing about with it though. Another music related program I’ve been digging is Spotify. Unfortunately with the slow connection speed here I’m not always successful logging on. Also, apparently I have 14 days left before I would need to upgrade to a premiere membership. The thing is, Spotify is only available in certain countries and although my registration shows I am from one of the applicable countries, my IP shows something else. I spent a good chunk of my evening yesterday matching CD’s to the appropriate cases and ripping a handful on them onto my hard drive. I have a lot of SHITE… quality wise but most of the shite was given to me for free during my freeloading radio days.

Equate without debate. This is an update (or something like it)

This poor excuse for an ‘internet connection’ at work really discourages me to do anything at all! We’re getting upgraded soon but it will take some time for that to swing into full effect….so in the meantime I can just whine about it. I’m also fasting again today (day 3) but I do it more for myself and not really the relgious/tradition part of it. I say this cause religion makes people hypocritical. Today though, has got to be one of the slowest days evarrrr. I’ve been looking at the time display on my computer and it’s as though time is laughing at me! I plan to indulge in some really awful junk food (McD’s) for the breaking of my fast. I couldn’t be more excited over it! Later, it’s a movie date to finally watch UP in 3D.

A little over a month before I’m off to the US and UK again. :) I guess a lot has happened in the past few weeks and let’s just say there’s no wedding to attend but I’m still looking forward to ‘reuniting’ with my ‘Mexico RG’ crew! It only begins there cause enroute back to Malaysia I’ll be making my regular rounds in London with a detour to Scotland. I’m planning to make a little “tour book” for my American lady friends – as a little souvernir of our excursion and also a useful little something for them to have with them. I guess that’s as far as “recreation” I go nowdays.

So I’m reaaaaal hungry right now. Will the hunger pangs and throbbing headaches pass already? I can’t think.

A true post…

I’m up to speed with True Blood now. I’m seriously addicted to that show. I lent my sister the first season and she doesn’t seem to take a liking to the show! I guess it’s not for everyone. Now that I’m waiting for the next episode to air, I have nothing better to do! It’s a Saturday night and I have chosen R&R. I’ve been going out more so than usual and it’s a bit of a shock to the system. I was pretty much hung over ALL of Saturday. I also flossed a piece of my tooth! Funny how “loss” is in the word “floss”. I don’t have much to say. Why do I even bother sometimes? The word “other” is in the word “bother”.. interesting….
