no logo. i think i'd like to buy this book. nevermind that i haven't read one of those things for a good 2 years now but this one's interesting. i'm never going to spend money on nike crap again. you thieving money hungry inconsiderate bastards! funny i should mention that product because i'm wearing one of their shirts now. haha.. but i feel bad just wearing it, (& it's not because of the humidity in this friggin room), it's cos someone back in the phils made it for wages enough to cover the cost of half a banana over here in slave like conditions. & i thought i was underpaid. so if you're seeing this, you are one lucky bastard.

will he make the purchase? can he afford it? will he know what the hell it's going on about? will he stop asking questions? will he annoy people who are reading this? will he?!?? stay tuned i guess.

when the hell is dawson's creek coming back on tv. i admit it's one of those guilty pleasures to watch once in a while. those damn kids living in an almost surreal world dealing with their stupid problems then kissing & making up in the end. it maks me sick with envy :p i watch it mainly for the music though. all those contemporary love songs makes you want to fall in out in out in out in luuuurve. there used to be a site that had all the mp3 from every single episode. quite handy if you ask me. but i don't have the address anymore (not quite handy so don't ask). i think my fave dawson's moment was in "full moon". towards the end they had a montage of images from all the characters. yeah it was simple, but slap on jewel's 'hands' & it was damn shweeeet.

four days to go & i'm no longer a teenybopperdopperer. like, that sucks.

since i got no access to the scanner at the moment, i'll just quote this tragic story found in the personals section of threedworld mag:

do the hokey pokey

Sometimes we need to pause and remember what lifes all about. There was great loss recently in the entertainment world. Larry Laprise the man who wrote the "Hokey Pokey" died last week at 83. The most traumatic part for the family was getting him in the casket. They put his left leg in and things just started to go downhill from there.

might go and watch good will hunting now. it's finally on free to air t.v (how long has it been?!), but hoooray! it's one of my most favourite movies. chucky: you hump a baseball glove?! morgan: i used it for cleanup chucky: that's just sad bro.

btw, they didn't get the cam after all :(

i think we're getting a webcam today. i opted to contribute $50. if it's only $60, i'm gonna have to re negotiate back to 50%. it shouldn't be too hard, there was a whole section on negotiation skills when i studied business communication plus i've seen the negotiator with samuel l jackson. if my dad doesn't agree, i just give the signal & my sniper will blow his head off!!

i have a feeling no body cares..

look to mp3domain.isonfire.com for some 2step doing the commercial rounds. i think that's also where i got a live craig david concert in amsterdam. that is damn nice, all the songs he does are acoustic-fied (!!)

i must give movie buffs a bad name for not having seen one in such a long time. the last time i set foot in a cinema was about two months ago, but it wasn't your normal big screen, dolby digital surround sound cinema. it was a small room with two budget speakers at the front kind of cinema. the cool thing about it was instead of the uncomfortable chairs with hardly any leg room that you're normally used to, this one had cushions all padded out where you could lie on. is that the shit or what!? that's how movies ought to be watched. if you're ever around darlinghurst drop by govinda's. they have the dinner & movie thing going on & for a vegetarian joint, it's not that bad. anyhoo i need to watch the cell. since fight club, nothing else has come close to it's production qualities. at this stage i don't give a crap about the plot in the cell, i just want visual inspiration dammit. what a bonus jennifer lopez is in it :)

a revelation! you know that tune zombie nation by kernkraft 400? it's being rinsed out in the clubs, in compilations & sitting pretty at number 2 in the aria club chart as i type. that ever so addictive synth noise is bitten off an old commodore 64 game, the site even has proof. i love the heading it has "a c64 tune has reached no. 2 in the uk charts!" & i love playing the sample over & over again :p.

i feel a site facelift coming on. it's supposed to be for the summer but why wait for a season to finish? ideas wait for nothing, not even seasons. it'll be up as soon as possible. now that that's been said, the chances of it coming out before summer is rare hehe. i've been on the net for about six years & you'd expect me to be some kind of html guru by now, but nupe, i'm still learning the intricacies of cutting & pasting javascript & splitting images. progress!

i couldn't believe what i saw today. sitting in between the food court & the camera store was a little contraption called "mr. shine". yeah you guessed it, an automatic shoe shiner. that's right for just $2.00 you too can look like an idiot for 5 minutes. i think it works by sticking your left feet in first, then it shakes it all around, then your right foot, you know the song. i swear.. it even comes with a tv so you won't be bored. to whoever invented it: get your priorities straight man haha. this is going to be bad for our economy. that guy by the train station, that lady at qvb, they'll be out of the job before you know it replaced by these damn machines. the city's gonna lose some character.

i was searching for "shoe shiners" to see if those machines are popular elsewhere but ran into this article instead: (easy as) p.i.i.i - the methods that are used to take a person's freedoms. have a read, then tell me what it's talking about. it talks about suppressors & extraterrestrial powers.. & stuff..

all those so called services are messing up on us. first it was the guestbook, now it's the stat track guest ultra counter tracker thingy. just look at this.. now i can't keep track of my referals fetish.


i love knowing where people come from & stuff they enter in search engines. luckily i haven't recieved any weird searches for one armed little girls in skin tight vinyl or something equally stupid. i've only seen ones for kosheen. for those unaware they are a drum & bass threesome composed of decoder, substance & the lovely vocals of sian evans. some nice concert pics. i'll be nice & put up samples of their art.

schoolies! you wonder why sydney gets quieter around mid november/december. for non-aussies, schoolies week(s) occurs after the final exams for year 12 high school students. all the kids migrate (mainly) to queensland for a time of fun & self-discovery. in other words to pick up & discover how many beers your body can handle before passing out. sure you crazy kids these days probably do that during your lunch breaks, but being in a totally different environment & with the parentals approximately 2.58 billion kilometres away adds a whole new dimension to fun.

DCC Get of va-mos_hard_nrg_-_the_album-2cd-2000-ozm.tar from oZM-DCC00 completed (03:27:02 17248cps) this better be god damn worth it waiting for all that time.

i don't understand why this country holds such high regard for a race that barely lasts over three minutes. why it's called 'the race that stops a nation'. why on this one day everyone from your grandmother to the two year old kid next door become horse & race condition experts. why it's used as an excuse to dress up & wear funny hats. why early in high school we were introduced to the evils of gambling because of this very event. i hate gambling. because i never win..


at 3:15 this afternoon everyone's going hold their breath to see a bunch of horses run around a 3.2 kilometre circuit. even the trains play it over the loud speaker. half the population are going to relocate to the pub. then at 3:19 everything will be back to normal, & you still would have paid for that overpriced lunch at the racecourse, & still have paid for that overpriced hat at the store, & you will be a few dollars short from betting on the wrong horse. damn you horsies!!

you been to paltalk yet? i'm not surprised at all that the filipino channels are for karaoke. to be eligible for a filipino citizenship one of the requirements is at least 25 hours karaoke. or something.. :p i wish i could sing.. then i'd do a radiohead song. exit music for a film.. yeah that's damn bootyfull.

willard library is haunted! supposedly that is. webcams in the research room & child room part of the library have been installed to try & catch a 'lady in grey'. there's this section where viewers can submit pictures they've saved from the cam. can you see anything? what the hell were those people circling.. there isn't even anything there. /me needs contacts.

kids say the funniest things sometimes. last night i gave my little cous the microphone & tried to convince him to say wzaaaaaaaap!! it didn't quite work out but he was close :) then there was the impromptu delivery of the australian national anthem. i wonder how he would have gone with the filipino one instead!

who's that!
anthem!

anyhoo, busy day today. have a party to attend to & then bowling in the afternoon. *puts on funny looking clown shoes*

cheapo album reviews: the artful dodger - it's all about the stragglers.

first of all i'd like to know what a 'straggler' is. it sounds decidedly british so i submitted a query to londonslang.com hoping that someone will explain it :p



'think about me' sets the pace nicely for the the album. haunting strings, nice piano loop, & the wonderful voice of michelle escoffery (where do they find these artists from!). about one year ago the dodgers were considered underground, but ever since 'rewind' busted a nut all over the place the 2step sound has been embraced by the mainstream in the uk. in time though, they've adapted to their audience & the whole album is sugar coated with candy pop influence. their older tracks 'something' & 'what ya gonna do' have been given a makeover in an attempt to become more accessible but isn't too far away from the original anyways. the most disappointing track would have to be 'r u ready'. i know how much potential this track has from listening to the original & it's been stripped of it's bad bad bassline & mc'ing by craig david to become the uninspiring track that it is. well, it isn't that bad, the bassline is still damn funky but it's alistair's mc'ing that i didn't like :p



latest single is 'please don't turn me on'. i had deja vu listening to this. they've used the same guitar sample from their own remix of donell jones - you know what's up. not only that, but it's like the darker brother of fill me in. it's got the exact same elements. r&b verses, 2step chorus, violins, funky ass acoustic loop. i swear!



overall, minus 1 point for not including 'moving too fast', minus 1 point for the 'r u ready' re-do. eight out of ten



damn it's late..

what's the deal with bl*ggers who bl*g about not having bl*gged or write about how they have nothing to bl*g about. that word is really annoying, whoever invented it should be blindfolded & have their ears tickled by feathers. chicken feathers. on that note, st3p fm is in the mix!! the songs are vintage but it's getting there..

if you go to hell for liking one spice girls song, what happens if you download their entire album?

really though,"holler" is okay because it doesn't sound at all like the happy poppy spice girls we're supposed to know. they all went sexy and sensual all of a sudden. that song has some serious sexual undertones. what? make me scream your name? what's this about playing your game? ahh i get it, so that's their idea of girl power these days. god damn, can you imagine impressionable young kids listening & singing along to this kind of monstrosity? how about 19 year old males listening & singing along to it.. haha. can't decide which is worse :p you know what? when i was 11 years old, the number one song in america was set adrift on memory bliss by pm dawn. that's beautiful! that's the kind of tune you should remember your younger days by. not something that talks about bedroom games hehee.. you crazy kids :p
