I can't breathe..im laughing my ass off watching these heinous pictures of really really bad costumes.. laughing+coughing=not enough oxygen in my lungs... oh dear god, must take deep breaths..uuuh But those pictures are really..i mean..you just gotta look yourself: best ones start from page 2
So, the thing is finally over.. Yesterday started veryveryvery early for me - i woke up a little before 7am..yeah, those who know me are going "WTF?!How on earth did you get up so early?"..well, it definately was not easy..took me about an hour to look less zombie-like, but i still felt like shit..the invisible ball was stuck down my throat.. Coughing my lungs out - check Piercing headaches while coughing - check Runny nose - check With all three of the above, listening to the presentations and trying to think along was nearly impossible but somehow i managed. So what new things did i found out on the second day? Americans like stuff..a lot of stuff..Keeping up with the Jones's stuff.. Romero's zombie films have a point in them Americans like big things (houses,cars,food etc)..supersize,people, it's all about supersize American dream is not what it used to be..you know, crisis affects that shit and all..nightmarish rather.. Cary Grant thought his best side was his left one..or no, wait..er..right side bad bank is the same as unmarried bachelor in some linguistic term (oxymoron, i think..) Young kids are permanently attached to youtube.. Some small cities in the US are relocating their residents to different parts of the town to save some money.. Huh, guess i better start soon on the response paper before i forget things..
The weirdest part of yesterday was when out of the blue my left leg started to hurt..i mean like 'i-pulled-my-muscle-pain'..very weird..And it still hurts. When the conference ended, i came back to the dorm, entered my room like a tornado, throwing everything either on the floor or the table and just collapsed on the bed..and slept until the morning..it felt soooooo good..And im slightly more human today.. Since today is Sunday, everyone seems to think about making pancakes.I woke up and the kitchen smelled like them,mm..I tried, but mine came out more waffle-like (next time - more flour)..haa haa, what a moron:D I have a small amount of cognac left, so i guess its time for a final cup of tea with it..oh well:)
Today was the first day of the conference (check below) and it was soooooo mind-numbingly long..My brain wasn't functioning at all and i was huffing and puffing like a fish on dry land.Probably looked like a retard with my mouth open all the time:D But it is really hard to concentrate when all you want to do is blow your brains out of your nose or cough your lungs out.. The first plenary presentation (John F. Kennedy and the American Dream) was really interesting, learned some new facts about JFK. It's just so weird how people actually see the things they really want to see.Only the positive aspects, but come on now - no one is perfect.
Anywhoo, hours passed in a hazeanddaze and finally the thing was over.. I was starving and my throat was killing me..And thank you, thank you, thank you my sweet roomie for the cognac..Tea with cognac is just heaven right now..Yeah, if i would have had a flask, that shit would be empty by now:)
Oh well, my eyes are shooting lasers at this moment. Day 2 is sneaking up..
I guess it makes perfect sense for me to catch a cold (again,btw) just a few days before the damn conference.Because there ain't nothing more fun to do with a runny nose and a throat that feels like someone stuck a ball down it, then to listen people talk about American dreams etc from 9am to 19pm for two days.Awesome indeed. And goddamn, i just wasted 60eq on Theraflu, that i can't actually drink. Vastunäidustused, my ass.. Stupid Spring weathers - one minute it's hot, the other it's cold.I feel like im stuck in some stupid Katy Perry song..
Speaking of songs.. I was watching tv the other day and suddenly i heard Klaxons-Golden Skans as background music to a shampoo commercial..um, random much?!
This will be a really boring post, 'cause there ain't nothing to tell for now.. Only that i have 6 more weeks of lectures to go.. And that im going to some kind of a conference next week. Hey, i get 2AP's from it. For free..gotta take what is given. Though, i do have to write a 3-4 page essay on it to actually see the 2AP appear in ÕIS. I just really hope it will be interesting, because i will need lots and lots of coffee otherwise..or a flask..or both:D..yeah, that would be ideal...hee hee *jk, jk*
The program seems pretty good. Definite ones are the plenary presentations, but the workshops..erm, i dunno,still deciding. And while reading the thing right now, i discovered sth..holy hell..*runs off to share w/ others*
Well, that sure was a nice surprise..sort of
And how am i supposed to be at two places at once, if there are two workshops at the same time?And i wanna hear them both..Im not good with decisions. Well, scheisse. Still got some time.
Okay, i am still listening to Menomena..i fell in love with that band the minute i heard their songs.. And the albums are pure heaven.. Menomena's music is just absolutely fan-fucking-tabulous, the sound never goes where you expect it to go, it flows on its own - the melodies, the rhythms, the bass, the sax, the piano riffs (keyboard+moog, i think), the vocals..
I Am The Fun Blame Monster The album just drags you in..the whole thing goes by so fast you don't even notice it..And you play it again and again and still hear new litte nuances that weren't there during the first or the second time.. The drumming - oh man, the drumming..it's like dance, it's like hip-hop, its crazy! That dude is a Machine!!no loops 'Strongest Man in the World' is a must from this album, as is Twenty Cell Revolt.Oh, and Trigga Hiccups too..
Oh, and btw, I Am Fun Blame Monster=Menomena's First Album..yup, intentional..i like these guys:D Press play and sit by the window:)
Under An Hour It has 3 songs..well, hmm, i guess they're not actually the typical songs one expects to hear on an album..Rather three tracks of instrumental music, each of which is almost 20 minutes long.. Water, Flour and Light..i must say that Flour is my favourite, the sax and piano riffs blend in perfectly..
Friend and Foe Did i already mention how much i love their artwork..Because it is so good.. The whole thing is superb.From the beginning to the end.All unique, interesting and beautiful.In one word: Amazing
although i already posted some,i'll put them here again..
Wading through this mess together Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder Some may stumble, some may fall behind
Täna oli lihtsalt üle pika aja niiiiiiii hea päev... I had that stupid grin on me the whole time..well, the day was actually khm, not that long, figuring what the time was when i woke up..but still:D
Spring!!!
the sun the smell of change i love it
and i love my friends!
This is for you, my peeps;) especially for Anett:D
Daily crap.. um, yeah lets give a mighty fine LOL here... my plans always turn to mush, there is like a cosmic law for that..
daily things have not appeared here because my computer refused to work, windows just died on me..pfftt..
two weeks or so ago, i went to tallinn, but 'thefuck - my computer would not close..so i was freakin' out, i didn't want to miss my bus..luckily my roomie managed to get it closed..BUT..when i came back..dundundunn..the stupid thing would not start..hahahahahaa..
like seriously though: WHAT. THE. FUCK
and of course the things i needed to get the stupid box working again were in tallinn..where i just came from..so my sis posted the windows cd for me and some instructions on how to repair windows without losing the documents and stuff from it.. lets just say i managed to get pretty far, before it got just waaaay too complicated..so i gave up on repairing and installed windows again.. and here is the funny thing: i repaired windows enough to save the documents and pictures i needed on a memory stick and then installed it again.. but..heh..when i started to look through the files, what do i see?!..the pictures and documents are all still there..yupyup..still there..that is just weird..
so i was basically computerless for a week or so..or no, wait..not really..for a few days actually..wow, seems longer, hehee..luckily, my roomie got her old laptop back that same week and allowed me to use it (and thank god you didn't go home for the weekend:)..oh, i used nele's laptop for a little time as well (like in december, when my own laptop crashed).. sheeeeesh, what is it with me and computers?!?! :D
So, all in all - everything works again..ptüiptüiptüi
As i wrote yesterday, crap will appear here daily now.. some things have been on my brain for the last 24h..
Eugene McGuinness - Fonz
Well, that wasn't very nice of you Things aren't so glossy Without a posse Oh deary dear I've no business being here Well now as I bow out At the funeral of my youth It was so lonely It was so lovely It was so lovely
You're just so easy on the eye You're so easy on the eye We said farewell And we synchronized our watches And arranged for the meeting of our crotches On the other side of the planet On the other side of the world
Well, that wasn't a very nice thing to do They never suspect the emotional wreck Put that in your pipe (You might want to write that down) Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full The Fonz said There's nothing wrong with being wrong But was he right, was he right? I don't know, was he right?
You're so easy on the eye You're so easy on the eye We said farewell And we synchronized our watches And arranged for the meeting of our crotches On the other side of the planet On the other side of the world
Eugene McGuinness - Monsters Under The Bed
There are so many hours in the day I know I've got work to do but hey My will to move, or even use my brain Is weathered by the eternal english rain And when the talk show ends, I scream Right at the screen for more pregnant teens I can't fall asleep it's almost 3 so I water the flowers out on the street
And I spent 5 hours on the net last night Avoiding the monsters under my bed with square eyes
How fan-fucking-tabulous it is to be so scared of the dark like this I know I've got work to do, it's a bitch I'm staggering round, I can't find the switch
And I spent 5 hours on the net last night Avoiding the monsters under the bed with square eyes Now I dare not stick my feet out the end, in case they bite and sing a monster song
La-da-dup-ba-da-bow-ah
There are so many hours in the day to address this problem in some way Some barbie doll talks of carb intake I turn it off, and for now, I'm ok
Kuu aega on iga päev olnud peas mõte, et kohe kirjutan midagi siia..Aga näed..Nuthin'..Ei viitsi, ei jõua, ei taha..ei ei ei.. Aga ma üritan nüüd iga päev midagi siia toppida, kasvõi mõttetut jura..'cause times are ending and since my memory ain't the most trustworthiest in the world (kui meeles on siis kirjutan miks), i'll still have some sort of a faint idea what i was doing..and when..and why..
