The goofy, the Greeky and the greenery

I used to watch 30 Rock last year, but I keep forgetting to point this out:

Jack McBrayer, whose role is the goofy and happy Kenneth, has a striking resemblance to Alex Kapranos, the Greek frontman of Franz Ferdinand. I remembered this when I came across Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body” video. (It’s disturbing. NEIN, I never liked Mariah Carey.)

This is Mr McBrayer

…and Mr Kapranos is far left.
Oh, plus Mr McCarthy too. There goes my concentration!

Have I not shown you enough?

Stripes: All but one

The difference: Alex Kapranos looks like he has a darker personality than the jolly Jack McBrayer.

Anyway, just a few days ago, I got to see my designs come to life. The Green House cheerleading costume plus the Green House T-shirt. You could have the T-shirt so much better and greener than before! Green House has suffered enough strange T-shirts from the past. Gott in Himmel, that supposedly-armyish-but-more-of-Tarzan shirt we had back in ‘06, and ’07’s graffiti-building stuff whatsoever…It’s time to change. We’re using crocodiles as our theme this year. No sneak peeks for the latest shirt, though

You know you want to purchase it when you see it

Oh ja, this is an awesome music video by the French group, Justice.

Gotta love music videos with artistic values, rather than seeing singers sit on the floor, emotionally, with their hair being blown by the fan…pfft.

Helpless

China is a sad place.

..that is, if you’re a furry animal.

Please don’t wear fur.

Criticism giveaway!

After years of blogging and blog-hopping, I’ve encountered lots of problems. None of my problems, at least.

Ah grammar problems, yes. I don’t mean to sound like an English teacher, but sometimes the words get a little bit out of hand.

I’ve seen plenty of this one:
“…so, please bare with me.”

Gott, I can’t help but to laugh at that one because the phrase bare with me means undress with me. The right phrase is bear with me. Goodness!

Another one is:
“soar throat/loser”

Soar to heaven, ye would. It’s supposed to be sore.

Whoever committed the said stuff, you know who you are, because I don’t think I know you. Really.

Sometimes, blog-hopping isn’t so fun anymore because of the content. Things have turned less amusing these days.

Here’s a list of things which, I personally think, are not amusing:
1. Outings with friends at the mall; Extremely common, this one.
2. Small things which you have bought..especially clothes (because nobody really needs to know that, unless it’s a really cool gizmo or something)
3. Dozens of photos of the blogger herself [..usually], which look similar to one another, but their only difference is the “photo effects” applied..might as well get an online photo gallery, no?
4. Last but not least, extremely short content. It sounds something like “Hi, will blog later. Ta.” Seriously, what’s the point of that, then?

Besides blogging and stuff, I think that the Disney Channel is getting lamer and lamer each time. To me, it’s been happening since there’s shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Hannah Montana, and soon enough, Wizards of the Waverly Place (no offense to the fans out there). I believe that SpongeBob is much better. Also, I sometimes wonder why Mr. Bean is under Disney Channel…What happened to all the good stuff?

By the way, the only Thai phrase [not word!] my mom had ever taught me sounds like this:
Pood-Thai-may-dai

This phrase, my friend, actually means “I can’t speak Thai.”

Attaca subito?! Molto vivo??!

I watched American Idol just the other day. A countrified-version of Eight Days A Week? I could’ve cringed, really.

Simon Says!: “You sounded like Dolly Parton on helium.”

..but seriously, folks. Helium CAN alter one’s voice and the outcome is a laughing matter. Thank the Mythbusters for that.

I’m not rooting for anyone in Idol this year, I guess.

Lately, I’ve been having a terrible ear ache in my right ear. It took long enough for me to contact my father. Maybe more than 5 hours. The ear ache returns every 20 minutes, and boy, I could’ve kicked the bucket. My father has turned into some sort of nuisance, these days. He smokes, he’s barely at home and worst of all, he doesn’t even answer phone calls from the family. Things have become extremely inconvenient..

I hope I wouldn’t turn deaf anytime soon, either. Just last week, I was talking about Beethoven during my English Oral Test. That man had hearing problems and eventually turned deaf, yet he could still play and write music. Did you know that he died during a thunderstorm? You heard me, he did not die outside, IN the thunderstorm. Sad life.

My guitar-God, Mr McCarthy — Who’s yours?

I am thinking of getting an electric guitar. I’m looking for ‘64 Epiphone Wilshire (Vintage) but I’ve no clue where to find one and how much it costs. I doubt that the Yamaha stores has this one (duh?), and I’ve yet to check Guitar Collection. It looks like a lot of fun to do that strum-strum-mute-mute effect on the electric, rather than on the flamenco. Always in for new toys

My brother might be going for drum classes in the near future. I wouldn’t want him to play the same things which I could play. Variety, ya know?

A soundproof room would be essential.

Still life

Presenting! My artwork which took weeks to finish:

Click, wull ye?

I feel so proud for completing it. Oh, the satisfaction. I’m not putting up the picture here because it belongs there, through the link.

Putting that aside, Chai Leng and her story made me felt like I had the need to fall for the same person again (I know that I don’t say much about a matter like this here, but well wells). I couldn’t believe myself that the feelings which have faded, came back eventually, but it’s a nice thing, really. Perhaps it could go on for another year or more. We’ll see. I also had thoughts on dedicating a nice piano piece during my graduation next year. O heck, it’s not too early to talk about the following year, is it?

 

It won’t be long. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you want to know how we stopped the time?

There’s no reason to know ♪

The other day, I found this video of Franz Ferdinand performing at the Grammy Awards ‘05

*Nick McCarthy is the dude with the fancy white coloured guitar :O

You see, the sad thing is that it wasn’t really a good finish to their song (in my opinion, really)

Wouldn’t you like to see the same thing happen to your favourite band, with their signature song finished off by some other groups you don’t really fancy?

Ah…

This one is called Jeremy Fraser, vocals provided by Mr McCarthy. Yays!

What can you do went you’re left with a dead and bleeding heart?
