Flaming Flowers that Brightly Blaze, Swirling Clouds in Violet Haze

There's a lot you can learn from the flowers (Golden Afternoon)
What does a flower say when it blooms?

2pm and the world is dead. The world would include my uni mail servers. Hum dee, less too worry bout I guess, no apping over christmas. Well then, so what has transpired since the last entry. Plenty and not so much, dependant upon ones priorities. Listening to Vincent is probably not the best mood to be posting in anyway. Shall just wait for it to finish. dot dot dot. Done :) Message in a bottle by MachineHead shall serve me fine, hopefully.

Recent Events
I got an interview call from Bloomberg for the 25th of January, so could the good luck brigade please focus some power there as well? Much appreciated shall it be.
Booked my driving test (at last!) for the 17th of Feb at 9 37 in ze mourning. Wouldn't mind passing (A)
Had an absolutely horrible time trying to install a new printer. Rather embarassing really, not had this sort of a tecchy breakdown in ages, can usually fix just bout anything. But eventually got sent off the comp because nobody liked how snappy I was getting. Unfair really, everyone else can be snappy all ze time :P Odd problem in the way that it has a screen that tells you to insert the USB cable and then it will auto-install. Only when I do that the plug and play thingy detects it and tries to install it instead, rather than the supplied CD. In troubleshooting it has the brilliant suggestion of hit cancel on the plug and play screen and try again. How on middle earth is trying again supposed to stop the problem from reoccuring :-/
Got a host of new smilies from a couple of people, much coolness as my msn has now been inundated with an even larger amount of emoticon use!
My picture has received muchos compliments, including unshaven Irish drunk... which I protest only on the grounds that I wasn't really unshaven, it was just late night and stuff :$ Irish drunk is so a compliment :P
Too much love is running around *gag*
My brother got a Nintendo DS shipped in from the US, quite a funky piece of machinery. Metroids graphis looked identical to the GameCube, and the touchpad is snazzy!
I've managed to catch up with a lot of people I hadn't spoken to properly in the last 2-3 months, so it's been fairly satisfying.
Oh and playing Tiberian Sun is an odd feeling, not even sure if it's fun now. But what the hey, it's memories :-/
Currently reading The Fifth Elephant by Pratchett :D And finally obtained Da Vince Code, but waiting for mother to finish with it first :) Took my time didn't I ::)
Love lifts us up where we belong, where eagles fly in the mountains high
Love makes us act like we are fools, throw our lives away for one happy day :P
I've never actually seen Moulin Rouge, how depressing :$
Move on move on move on!

Recent Movies
Finally managed to see the Incredibles :D Am so glad Disney is picking up, even if it is due entirely to Pixar, I suppose the days of good animated features is now gone :( But the movie was so good, not entirely a comedy, but very entertaining. I'm sure watching a kid run on water isn't supposed to be a touching scene!
Rented 4 movies from Blockbusters recently, and the 3.75 that Garfield cost me goes down as a great loss, but would've been bigger had we all gone to see it in the cinema! Pretty kee-rappa really (A)
The other 3, and I watched all 3 yesterday ::), were Dracula (The one by Francis Ford Coppolla), Just Visiting(with Jean Reno) and Alice in Wonderland! :D
Dracula, was interesting. It flowed really well, and Drac was quite a cool character, broken hearted vampire you could actually feel sorry for. Anthony Hopkins as Helsing was brill, as was most of the cast. But what I've always found to be a major drawback of vampire movies, especially the Dracula class is how much they hype up the powers of the centuries old foe, and yet kill him so easily. This one had as dissappointing an end as all of them.
Just Visiting had a Knight and his Servant transported to modern day Chicago. Quite funny, but nothing to talk about. I'd recommend it in any case if you want a good laugh. The cover said better than Shrek, and that might well be true :p
Alice was well.. Alice! :D My sister insisted I pick that up though she'd seen it before. I somehow enjoyed it a lot more this time around then I ever did when I was a kid. Dunno why exactly, but it was really fun :)
Oooh watched Chronicles of Riddick as well. Very good action movie, Riddick was such a cool character, though I'm well aware of the fact that the mass majority hates this flick. Ending was TOO abrupt.

Recently Accquired Songs
Well I mentioned Iko Iko in the last one, soooo...

Filthy and Gorgeous - Scissor Sisters
If you Leave me Now- Chicago
Phantom of the Opera - Nightwish
I want it all - Queen
What you waiting for - Gwen Stefani
Vertigo - U2
That 70s Show theme :$
With or without you - U2 (I must've lost this one, could've sworn I had it!)
Santa Baby - Marilyn Monroe (A)

Most of those found their way onto my MP3 player to provide company to Suteki, Maahi Ve, Fruits Basket Theme, and some others. :P

Dracula-la-la I'm a sucker for your love
When you do do do what you do to me
Dracula-la-la now I've got you in my blood
Don't know how dear Count it's a mystery (A)

Hmm, oh forgot to mention it. Went to get my passports renewed, but now we need a countersignatory because apparently all of us have changed a lot since the pictures on our old ones were taken. Rrazm frazm <_<>
How much can a person change anyway? Well, externally. Oh I dunno. People can change over a fortnight. It's all relative. To hide behind a veil means people will always be mystified as to exactly how exactethly intelligent and wise you are. Sometimes, that mystery may give you the edge that was never yours.

So till next time m'cheries ::), have a great weekend, take care of yourselves and may the force be with you! I'm sorry I'm not providing any entertainign link, but I dare not press the comp. Do try to check out the new trailers for Batman Begins and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory though, you won't be dissappointed.

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.
I can't wait :) It should be coming soon. I simply remember some of my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad ;) Oh and I found my lost VERY cool Batman T-Shirt! :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

*Magnets to all and for all a Magnet*

Evolution, Infra-Red, Lonely Nerds and IKO!!

The possibility of drawing a smiley face using the bottom dots of them exclamation marks as eyes is probably fairly low hmm :(
It's 20 past 3, I've been a dizzy devil for hours, getting up to all sorts of random stuff. This would include, but is certainly not limited to random postings here and there, obtaining a photobucket account, and trying to catch up with people I've ignored solong, yet no one seems to be online after midnight. Tres odd :o (A)

In any case, I've given myself a topic that shall provide a rought guide for the flow of my entry. Where to begin? Evolution apparently, but I'd just like to take a short spin to say Triumph the Dog sent to me by Zak was hilarious, especially at this volatile time of day, and that today was my first day actually interacting with the members at K&K. Twas exciting in a way, with so many you can't tell if they even have a disability, while others were so apparent. It was probably the most diverse range of human existence within a designated age bracket I've seen. And what an age bracket, ranging from 4-49, I felt a bit lonely since my member didn't come in today. But we had our autism workshop so I figure that will be helpful, and it gives me time to brush up on Eastenders ::)

Oh a Belief-o-matic test I took says I'm 100% Islam and Orthodox Jew.. how truly fascinating. Though I feel my answers might have been slightly motivated by the fact that I'd've been fairly dismayed had some toehr religion popped up :$ Online quizzes, phaw (A) I'm such an angel I break most of em ;) Christmas in Birmingham, dependant on transport over Boxing Day. GET YOUR EU VISA NOW!!!! *ahem* I know you're reading... *spooky music* :P And I don't know how to spell what the visa is really called (A)

I don't like humans <_<>

Evolution yes! Well I've now compiled a rough haphazard collection of pictures from the beginning of my mobile camera last December to, well, this December. The changes are fairly amazing. My hair seems to flit around like an afro could only dream to. And now that it's cut again for the interview season, I'm looking for my last pre-occupation growth spurt. Curl and wave and twirl and twist, ever wish on an eyelash? I do, and I suppose it works. Though all my wishes come true.. have yet to try on a shooting star. Just never had the oppurtunity. I also look far better as a negative. I sense irony and ominous doom in that, but for now I'll file it under X and look it up in the mourning.

I'm a vampire. Revelation? Hardly. But I've evolved my theory of leeching. Yes I could potentially be a leech too, but where's the honour in that? Can you imagine my biography being called Ray the Leech King? I think not! So here's the mathematically proven analysis. 1 "best" friend entitles me to an almost unlimited supply of bubblicious energy, allowing comparisons to the best Mint Aero. 2 "best" friends break all embarassment and social awareness barriers, and any fool to argue with me when I be so empowered does so at tremendous risk. 4 people in total will have me swinging from a lamp post if the lamp post is low enough. No close friend will have me struggling to be myself and generally being more socially awkward than a snail in an ant eaters mouth. Thus the theory of Confi-Suck and Bubble-Bust is born. All terms are hereby copyrighted and free to use for the simple fee of an eternity of damnation :p

Infra-Red was with regards to photo transfer from mobile to LT, why IS that there :-/ I'll put this paragraph to better use by presenting a dilemma that needs carefully processed advice. One good friend likes another good friend in some circle. To tell of feelings could spell social tension for entire group, or possible success. Other friend has however never though of first friend in this way. What to do? I'm sorry if I've trivialised the issue :$

Lonely nerds, oops! That was with regards to the Triumph the dog video. Anyone ever has time ask Zak (or myself) for it, tis supremo comedy! :D With regards to Star Wars first showing ;)

IKO IKO! My grandma and your grandma sitting by the fire, my grandma say to your grandma gonna set her flat on fire.. or something :$ Love this song! :D

And to finish, I shall part with such valuable advice as...

Haagen-Dagz

Easier to spell or pronounce?
Namarie
(Yes, that's elvish/sindarin. For once, I may :p )

Opinions are like @$$holes, everybody has one...

Hauntingly beautiful
No not THAT quote, just generally. Well ok this post is actually a bit abotu cool quotes I can think of at midnight, and also about what was hauntingly beautiful. With regards to the latter, that would be the musical score of LOTR, and in particular Return of the King. I shall now proceed to brag about how I have recently accquired ROTKExtendedEdition!!! :D Other than 48 extra minutes of absolutely wonderful footage, that movie so beats anything out this winter. Got it yesterday and already seen it 1.13 times (A)
Yes, that .13 was me walking in late since I was out today watching another entirely different ditzy movie, which would be VeerZaara. My cinema outings were seriously swalloped during term, and I've been trying to see this one for ages now. Missed two friend outings, and the family outing for it! Just my luck hmm :p But yeah finally managed to watch it, and other than the TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE singing, the movie was really quite touching and vunderbar :D Still doesn't reach Kal Ho Na Ho level of which I am a ditzy fan, that movie being responsible for me actually beginning to speak in Hindi/Urdu in Public :o *shock-horror-gasp* What well most of it is me quoting from it, but I do insert my own variations from time to time. Maybe it's a sign of just being away from home so long. How we all learn to cope ;) And yes I know I have absolutely no right to complain considerign what I have, but still... (A) S'not a disease! :P (A)
Anyway unlike a dear friend of mine who shall-not-be-named-nor-called :p I will not be embarking on a deep dissection of poor VeerZaara and the rather odd depiction of ma dear La-Hore in the movie. Instead I will go into...

***SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT***

Yes, instead I have chosen to talk about those 48 extra brilliant minutes of ROTK!!! :D And of course I shall proceed to drag Hassan and Adeel onto this here blog so they may read what glory I do now swim in, at which point I shall learn one or the other has already got 'is grubby paws on it and snookums :( Anyway ok here it comes :D

1. The Scene with Saruman is heeeeeere! And yes he does get killed by Grima as he should've been! Ok so it's not the scouring of the Shire or anything, but still... and I do maintain that it's kinda unfair how he can shoot fireballs but Gandy can't :( :-X
2. Aragorn going to the dead, and their appearance out of the cliff. He then moves on to converse with the Corsairs sailing up the river, Gimli does a funny, and the dead rush out and smackeroo them. Very cool and adds some depth to the dead clean sweeping the battle of Pelennor.
3. Witch King facoff with Gandalf!!111oneoneoen!! I've sooo been waiting for this scene. And though they deviated a bit from the book by allowing The Nazgull to completely "Take-o-fy (sp)" Gandalf, that ust made the scene cooler. He almost kills Gandalf, and snaps his staff to shreds! Did anyone else notice that Gandalf doesn't have his staff throughout the later part of the movie? Fortunately Gandalf is saved by the bell, or in this case the horns of the approaching Rohirrim.
4. Aragorn chats with Sauron through the Palantir. Trying to be intimidating, flashing the funky Elendil at Sauron, Sauron shows him a dieing Arwyn, and his amulet falls and breaks to pieces. Kinda powdery. Serves Aragorn right for being so smug, but again, did anyone notice that he no longer has the star of elendil later in the movie?
5. And lastly ( well lastly of the additions I plan to mention anyway, there were a lot more).. it's the Mouth of Sauron!! YEs he comes, absolutely hideous, kinda Sleepy Hollowish to be honest, but it was all there. Him taunting the poor heroes with Frodos Mithril Shirt... oh and then Aragorn decapitates him.. yummy ;)

Well that's it for drooling, though to be honest I doubt this interests anyone else. I couldn't put it in my other journal because I'd be stoned for such an evil act over there, but I just had to show off.. can you EVER forgive me? (A)

Moving on to odd bits and pieces of news. Got an interview call from Inland Revenue, so booked 13.45 on the 5th of Jan. Wish me luck! Could get tricky coz I didn't give any references, but how am I supposed to get a reference in the middle of the vacation? Just hope they're understanding about that. It's a 20 min interview, so ah wella. Also just whizzed through the Unilever marketing application within 45 mins. Considering these apps are supposed to take over 2 hours, maybe over 3, I messed it up due to my usual policy of leave it to the end. Can't even remember what I scribbled, but that's what you get for starting work on an app 1 hour before the deadline :$

Start work at Kith and Kids from the 27th of Dec, with the last training day this Sunday. It's been interesting, I've been assigned to someone called Louis Baker, with my co-volunteer being someone named Liz who came at the alternate training day and then couldn't make it on Sunday. Still, should be interesting. And it was sorta cool since we all got interviewed and some 30+ volunteers got rejected and sent home. The guy sitting next to me squished me in such a massive hug when it was announced we were through, thought I'd choke, especially since we had barely exchanged some 10 words prior to this. Oh and I wonder what Louis will be like, no info given on his disability as yet. Oh it's pronounced loueee by the way, not Louis. :P

Hmm, should log onto msn now, meant to change my screen name to something vaugely resembling Just Lose it by eminem.. love that song (A) Finally thrust it onto my MP3 player. Oooh and Del got me that 4DVD thing of Band Aid for christmas. They came over on Monday, and I didn't get 'em anything :$ Feel so silly, but I Have been so terribly busy. Will make it up on the birthday coming up soon :D

Oh yeah, and some of those quotes I've been throwing around ;)

"There is no good or evil, there are only moral judgements"

"In a world without values and morality, good and evil are just choices on the menu of the mighty"

kinda conflicting (A)

"Three rules of work:

1. Out of clutter, find simplicity.

2. From discord, find harmony.

3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."

"I have no special talents I am only passionately curious"

"I must find the truth that is true for me, that by which I may live or die"

*sigh* and there was this one on creativity that seems to currently be eluding myself.

Not like any of you shall mind! Ah well, tra la and have a wonderful life. Hitchiker Guide to the Galaxy movie coming out next year, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- Depp as Wonka in trailer looks ace, and Findign Neverland go go go for Oscars! :D

Dus Vidanya! O_o

Life's a laugh and Death's a joke

Before moving onto what has been a fairly eventful weekend, what's the deal with tis bloggyness anyway? To post I have to open my blog, go to my profile, go to my dashboard, and then onto new post. I'm sure there must be some simpler way :p

Righty ho, onto the weekend, only because it was, and my current options are type in blog, finish essay, or print notes (I'll do the latter in just a few minutes anyhoo ::) ) Oh and did I mention I feel sick? Very very sick, poorly, ill, down, exhausted, generally all round not too good due to overexcessive deodorant inhalation :$

Friday the 3rd
Yes, it's true, the title does lack an ominous 1 before the 3, but given the day wasn't really all that tragic, I can live without the background music. We start at 6 30 in ze mourning, when I wake up to the sound of Tarzan swinging through the jungle yoddelling as he does (or crying/shouting/screaming hysterically). So out I doth roll, get dressed and run for the tube, all that kinda stuff, and waltz into class only 10 mins late. Lucky me ;) Of course I must proceed with doing the question on the board, which I had never been able to do. Fortunately no one else in the class could do it either, and we just had to try not to laugh as the poor teach went mad sayign how silly it is we don't know how to do what we learnt in the first year. Was eaasy when she showed us anyway, s'not our fault we forgot silly cournot-ness :p Moving along, go to my dear ol labby and finish my lloydsy app, as well as acing the inland revenue tests with my trio of test takin musketeers :D
(message to commenter, I actually happened TO be updating when your comment came, so NYAH! good ol msn (A) )
Right and .. where was I? Oh yes, Friday. Oooh it was the AU Barrel! Free booze all day long plus all the athletes in costumes. The school was a wreck and we had coppers on campus to keep things under control and make sure no students go running trying to trash some other campus ( Kings is a favourite ::) ) So we had "streakers" and fairies with their clothes a wreck and flyers and trash everywhere, geez it was mad. I avoided it all like a good lil boy doing essays and apps (A) Well, until the evening anyway :p Then it was off to watch The Life of Brian, mwaha :d And pizza hut, and ze schol disco with the remnants of the mornings nuts, those who could still stand and hadn't gone to the ultra expensive alternative off campus venue :P I'd love to go into more detail but time is mine enemy, and I can hope people actually don't have a cardiac arrest while running through this if I get a move on! {And yes everyone clapped and I danced.. or whatever it's calld when body limbs fly in all directions, the usual, lalala (A)}

Saturday, the 3rd + 1
This day, up again at 7 30. Just no fun that is, especially not on a Sat. But nooo, for WE had to partake in the LONDON AMAZING RACE 2004, run by the LSE. Which of course means it only had LSE students. Something my friend didn't tell me. So I turned up with a ringwraith costume. For I was confused. And the people laughed. And I shifted blame. And it was rather silly. C'est la vie.
So anyhooo, we ran, three of use with a supervisor. And ok it was kinda mission based and not so much running as going to famous places and solving riddles and questions based on the place. Like the opera house, and the best most famous dish in some famous bar (with and without mustard ::) ), ooh and what famous invention was inspired by the pagoda in the centre of China Town (A telephone booth apaprently), amongst many other things. Anyhoo was tons of fun, very tiring obviously, and we came second and won a box of Cadburys Heros for Best Team Spirit, whoopeee :P Must be the athletic landmark of my life ::)

Sunday, today - 1
Yes I'm rushing, but flashing windows of the microsoft greenman seriously cut down my typing speed over here. Soo Sunday was up AGAIN at 7 30, for I had to get the sequence of trains off to the north east from the north west! Yes this time it was Kith and Kids working with the disabled for christmas. Yay. Ah well I loved it anyway. We had workshops all day till 4 30, everyone was really nice ( on the surface, I sensed some baaad auras <_<),>

And yeah, now I gotta dash. See you all on the microsoft domain if I ever do, for a busy week doth be before me. Fortunately the last one of term though before I get a good month off, and needs to get christmas cards for all, and a present or two for some. Shers and bros bdays on wed and thurs respectively too, there goes my finances :'(

Take care, au revoir, sigh-o-nora n all!
