Laura Marling's New Romantic was the first song I'd heard in a while that made me want to know the lyrics right away and sing along, word for word. With lines like 'but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know' and 'I'm sorry to whichever man, to meet my sorry state', how could I resist the melancholy?

I love that scene in Almost Famous, where Will finds out that he gets another 1000 words for his article on Stillwater, and he goes to Russell's hotel room to get on with the interview and finds a 'do not disturb' sign taped on the door and Russell in one of his elusive moods yet again. Will flips a finger at the door, kicks the laundry bags he's been carrying, and collapses on an armchair outside of Russell's room. He looks at the piece of paper he'd brought for the interview as the house-keeping lady passes by, giving him a curious glance, and then he cradles his head in his hand and starts crying. I really do like that scene, it mirrors that overwhelming feeling everyone gets once in a while.

It may seem weird, but SNSD's Tell Me Your Wish(Genie) struck a chord with me. The first couple of lines from the chorus translates to 'That's right, I love you, always believe in me. My dreams, my passions, I want to give them all', and from a very mushy and jiwang perspective, doesn't that sound sweet? In my head, it's like realizing you love someone and making some grand proclamation of it to let them know. "THAT'S RIGHT! I LOVE YOU!BAM!". In fact, it made me like the song so much that I overlooked how the rest of the song talks about how the girl wants to be a genie for the boy(seriously. As much as I try, I must admit it does leave the mind to think of double entendres) and the fact that the producers insisted on SNSD giggling unnecessarily at some parts.

I'm on break at the moment, and I believe I'm enjoying it a bit too much. If laziness and gluttony equal happiness, then I must be overjoyed. Yesterday for dinner I inhaled a box of Shapes and a couple of oranges, and normally I'd be horrified but common sense, mine at least, is right now on holiday. In fact I have a vision of Common Sense as a person in my head and she is a 6-year-old girl in a pinafore and pigtails skipping along with a lollipop in hand, so you can imagine the amount of good she's doing for me presently. But I am happy, I must admit. I was watching and hearing Kelly and Logs squabble over how to work the pepper grinder and cook fried glass noodles and couldn't stop a huge grin from spreading across my face.

Oklah. Nak pergi main game.
