{Sunday, August 31, 2008 . Joy Division - Love will tear us apart}

I have been listening to this because I think it is the song to listen to when you're feeling down. Something about the chords click with the mood. There's a nice cover of this song by the band Nouvelle Vague here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4efME9Vnlc

I am watching Tristan + Isolde, despite not watching it deliberately when it was out in cinemas because of my new-found fascination to James Franco.It is terribly difficult for me to take him seriously in his weak English accent, it's sending me to fits of giggles everytime he speaks on screen. This has also given me an idea for a blog post on JRM vs. JF. More on that when I actually work on it.

I was trying to clear out the gunk my room has accumulated, in the efforts to clean it and I found this note I had written and passed to a friend during a lecture way back in our undergraduate days and I thought I would just transcribe it here out of sentimentality's sake.

Dear A,
How are you, my lovely? Ha ha, I haven't written a note to anyone during class in a long while, used to do it in school like everyday =P. Anyways, lovely to also see that we are able to make faces to each other even though you're seated so far away. This lecture is killing me precisely because I cannot tolerate the lunatic's lame jokes and 30-year old long-winded habits. Even thought I have the notes for this lecture in front of me, I am not even motivated t take down anything he is saying. How was it last night? Did anything dirty ;)? I just watched T.V., The Amazing Race 5, which is awesome. Was so exhausted last night, coming back from friend's place in Tanglin, only to be smsed later at night that she wasn't going :(. How typical of that silly girl! Which reminds me, day before yesterday, I had my first drink in almost a month (whoops, actually stopped to listen to the man). And the drink happened to be "wine" with only 1/2% of alc. >.<! Dad opened the bottle to toast for Bhabhi's b'day but Mom and Bhabhi were like..."no alc." which I tell you was COMPLETE BULLSHIT! Oh well, family dramas...=P. The point is...I need to go out soon!! =(. Btw, drawing smilies like on comp. 'cos it's fun!! =DDD! Oh lame joke: Don't I just put FUN in DA MENTAL? :D! Oh, look at you, concentrating real hard on wat luny is saying. Maybe I shall end this letter soon, I am reaching a sort of writing-block anyway (or is it writer's block?). Today is my bro's b'day so gonna buy a card later :P. Ok, ok, now on to Sampling Variation... Love Ya Loads!
<3,

Hey babes! hehe was pleasantly surprised with your note! It's been ages since ive received one and written one! And I know it's sad tht I have used this crumpled paper again for my reply...I don't have paper on me! =)
I know exactly wht u mean abt loony Lun's lectures! It's bloody painful sitting through hthis shit and I have no idea how we are gonna do it for the rest of the semester! Die! die!
And no, I didn't do any dirty last night contrary to 'popular' belief! I watched the amazing race too (man, I wish one day I could go on a race like tht! Tht would be awesome!). Then I did some reading (The Devil Wears Prada - interesting bk!). After which I was interrupted with a phonecall from V - spoke to him for hours - been ages since we've gotten the chance to update each other! Haven't seen each other for nearly a month now! And tht idiot is jetting off again next wk to Lagos and sadly, wont be back till next year! Oh well, stupid rich kids! hehe. Anyhoot, glad to know u've been meeting up with your friends..oops looks like I missed a line...haha well dont have tht much more to say anyway. I havent gone out in a while too..as in clubbing..but frank;y, im pretty sick of clubbing here for now, did quite a lot over the hols in London too../ so I'll stay clear of clubs for a while. As for drinking, hehe, now, tht I will not stay clear of! Planning to chill at Equinox tomm night..so hopefully, will get to fulfill my body's alcohol craving!
Looking forward to watching The Village tomm..its been getting a lot of rave reviews!

A

I think I now remember why I failed that module despite it being damn easy, as I did for loads of classes in Uni. Wahahahaha.

I rewatched the 1 season there was of Freaks and Geeks, a show that brings me back to the time I used to watch it on TV when I was 15 or so. It's a brilliant TV show about these freaky (loser, burn-out, junkie but smart/funny) and geeky (physically immature, scrawny, dungeons and dragons) kids in McKinley High in the year 1980. It was made by Judd Apatow, and even though it got cancelled in its first season by icky ABC, it is no less than genius and currently has a huge cult following amongst teens.

People who starred in this show include Jason Segel (Marshall from How I Met Your Mother), Seth Rogen (who starred in Knocked Up etc), John Francis Daley (currently in Bones) and James Franco (Spiderman series as Harvey Osbourne).

The entire season can be watched on Youtube.

Rewatching this made me reminisce about what a huge Freak I was in my one year of American High School. I was burned-out, skipping classes, never turning in homework for some classes, and yet miraculously doing well for all my science tests. I dressed like a complete nobody, had my uniform of a plain khaki t-shirt and khaki pants or dark blue jeans and this blue shirt I would throw on, and when it was winter, I varied it with an oversized Men's jacket or my one and only long black trenchcoat I am still going to use in the UK this coming fall. Sigh.

Oh and I have the biggest hugest HOTS for James Franco:




That's him from the show btw, when he was 19 years old. I know he's not "handsome" but he oozes the irritatingly adorableness that is my WEAKNESS. The stupid doofus can make people melt just from the bull-shit that he spouts and even when you know you're being suckered, you can't help but indulge it. Sigh...

All the actors do a great job in this show btw. It's a real pity there aren't enough episodes.
