Some graphic novels I’ve been/’m reading

So yeah I’ve been loving the city (and state) library since I got here. Admittedly, I haven’t made full use of its potential but I had just moved to a new country and I was a bit busy with other things. Pretty basic and administrative tasks, like getting my shiny new Boost Juice card. Mhmm [...]

Retooling

Wow I know it’s been a bit over a month since I last wrote but OMFG it’s been a helluva month. So much has happened that I actually had to go over the last few entries to reacquaint my now self to my then self. I feel so changed inside. Hm but then again I [...]

Giant lego man!

Can I just say I wish I had this when I was growing up?

Came across this lovely fellow on Telegraph. I miss my lego collection! Ah such happy times, now I don’t even know what became of it. Strangely enough, the only thing I can remember vividly is that I never gave my little lego [...]

Words words words

Last night I went to a poetry reading on a whim, with some of my work colleagues. Pretty good whim. I almost didn’t go but I’m glad I forced a smile on my face and said the magic words: “Let’s get out of here” (most common phrase spoken in films, believe it or not…I’m walking [...]

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

At first glance, I see her twirling clockwise but I’ve found that if I look at her “anchored” foot (the right one, yes) and then look at its reflection, she changes direction and swings the other way. It’s trippy!

For those who are too lazy to [...]

Music break #1

I don’t know how to embed the song here. So I’ll post the “video” for it.
The Killers – Mr.Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont Mix)

Stuart Price rocks. Well the original rocks and this one…this one trickles in and suffuses you with hints of color. Like Starburst candy.

Disturbing thoughts

I need new clothes. I’ve been wearing the same clothes for about a year now. I’ve been turning up at get-togethers and parties in the same skinny jeans, same sneakers (come to think of it, I think I’m wearing them in the image header), and I just alternate wearing 5 shirts or something, if even that. While [...]

Not Manila

I made myself coffee, stood in the garden in the sun and watched my breath. It’s a beautiful day, not cold at all. I hadn’t felt my feet in the past two days until now so I am pleased.
I’ve since gone back inside, and turned off the heater in my room. I’m getting a kick [...]

The Eva Peron of pizza eaters

Our group in the office ordered in pizza. 8 boxes, translating to 2 slices for each individual. There were going to be 3 or 4 extra slices.
The pizzas arrived late. I was going to get Pizza Hut on the phone to tell them what I thought of their service and where to stuff their lame [...]

On having gone off cigarettes

Today marks my 5th smoke-free month. Yay! Woohoo! Bring out the fanfare! Send in the clowns! Give me a cigarette! Hihi just kidding about the clowns.
Hehe.
Quitting has been both kind of difficult and remarkably easy.
I’ve made several attempts at quitting before, only to return to my filthy ways, couple of months or, at worst, mere [...]
