November 03 The rankest thing I saw today...Today, I looked up on the bus and saw the most disgusting site. It was so horrible I thought it'd be cool to take photos and put them on this very blog for the benefit of the public! So you know on the bus, right? Well when you look up you can see these air-ventilation grills thingies (or whatever they are). Directly above my head was a cluster of DEAD MOTHS in the air-ventilation! *gasp*! This means I was breathing in dead-mothness!!! Clearly, National/Ventura need give their buses a bit of a clean. Onto the pics!!  ... and a close up of the dead pretties:  Mmm! Tasty! October 10 It's a CHAIN, not a necklace.Today the gold Buddhist chain I wear around my neck fell off, marking the first time my neck had been naked in over five years. When you wear a chain for that long, you tend to hardly notice it, nor the iconised Buddha dangling off of it at various directions. Having said that, as soon as the chain fell down my chest through my shirt, I instinctively touched my bare neck - I must say, it felt weird not having it there and I almost panicked (note: "almost"). As my mother was the only person in the vicinity at the time, I politely demanded that she hastily re-connect the chain lest my neck felt any more nekkid. It's funny how I'm the most non-religious in my family, and yet I'm the only one who still wears a religious chain (I was the only one not labelled as 'Buddhist' on the census form, much to the chagrin of my mother). It's become so normal to me now; it's more of a 'lucky' charm to me more than anything. In other news at KFC our good friend 'Need-to-bang-her' (that's honestly how you pronounce her name when you say it really fast) is not leaving the store after all. Claire is highly upset by this news because as much as we all enjoy being fondled (!) by her as we serve chicken, sometimes Claire just needs her space. Isn't that right Claire? Anyway, thy blogger needs some rest! Bye bye September 27 Oh the painI will NEVER give myself any sense of hope ever again. Henceforth, any inkling or hint of a crush that I start to feel for anyone, shall be immediately suppressed to alleviate any chance of agony. *emo moment* But thank you Myspace for giving me closure and letting me move on. People, you can acquire so much knowledge about your crushes from Myspace. I think I'm getting to the point where I'll be desensitised and I'll turn out to be one of those jaded types with icy-cold hearts. Ah well, I'll feel better that way. I hate you all. September 25 I heart Mac.Turns out that I got my new iMac Thursday night before I went out, and not Monday so all is hunky dory!! It's soooo cool, I must say that them nerds at Apple really know how to make an intuitive and user-friendly system. I feel dirty though - I installed Windows, and it's very much against why many switch to Macs but OH well. Now I can run games and crap - good holiday boredom killer. I swear there's a bit of a conspiracy going on though; I have an inkling that the sound i.e. mp3s in particular, sound much better on the Mac side and through the Mac speakers than it does on the Windows side with Mac speakers. Encouraging people to use Mac exclusively perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised. In other news, on Saturday my cousin and I went to Kengsington for some tv-extras thing and we felt so weird having our photos (headshots) taken. Hmmm they said they'd call us back if they needed us - and oh it was just so surreal and random. Well that's all for now. 'Tis late. Bye bye September 19 Waiting...I HATE YOU MICROSOFT, THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I'M SWITCHING TO MAC.
Your effing Windows Live Spaces bullcrap just erased an entire blog post I was working on!
Let's start again...
Hello readers. I know it's been far too long. Not that anyone actually religiously followed my blog, but the point is I'm back! Break out the champagne! One belated update is better than no update at all, right?
So yesterday I placed my order for an iMac online! Whoot! The excitement is nothing short of palpable. I've been checking back every 15 minutes on the Apple website to check the 'order status' of the cute white machine that will be gloriously mounted on my bedroom desk. Yes, I know what you're thinking; in normal circumstances the chronic 'order status' checking is borderline obsessive, however, my slightly crazed self knows this shall be worth it. I mean, umm hello?? This is an iMac we're talking!
The journey, (what is this, a trip to the Amazon?) hasn't been without its hiccups though. The Apple website was today experiencing 'technical difficulty' which I can only assume has something to do with the fact that my iMac hasn't been shipped yet! My order IS supposed to be processed in 24 hours, don't-cha-know. Now I fear the bloody thing won't arrive until next week. Bah.
In other news, yes, my elist university and fellow students are taking a two week break. Please, don't attack me for this unfair and prolonged break! I pay money to the uni (a LOT of money), but I don't decide how it's run. If you're angry, please take it out on the Parkville campus by burning it down. By all means I shall offer you my full support - it means that I won't have to do it myself hehe.
Months ago I also promised Kaitlyn I'd mention her in my next blog so voilà! Sure, it's half a year late and it's not such an awesome shout out as it could be, but I came through with the promise in the end.
Anyway, till next time kiddies!
Matt March 03 Sad Movies.They rule. I love movies that make me teary or CRY. Just like a baby.
Here are a few listed here:
A) Films that gave me a tight knot in the throat and make me all sniffle-ly:
- Grave of the Fireflies (possibly the saddest movie I've seen so far)
- Dancer in the Dark
- A.I. (yes the one about robots)
- Home Alone 1 (shut up, I was young and when Macaulay is reunited with his mum it's just like aww)
- Brokedown Palace (good job Claire Danes)
- Titanic (I mean, hello! Floaty-driftwood-Jack-is-frozen scene, come on! "I'll never let go, Jack *teeth chatter*")
- The Lion King (oh Mufasa *cries*)
- Stepmom
B) Films that made tears stream down my face and made me all sniffle-ly:
- Brokeback Mountain (great film; knot in throat absent, but tears streamed continuously for a good while)
- La Vita è Bella (Life is Beautiful)
- Fearless (Jeff Bridges & Rosie Perez - beautiful)
C) Films that made tears well up in eyes:
- American Beauty (plastic bag scene gets to me)
D) Sad films or those with moments that had potential to produce tears (yet were easily kept back):
- Memoirs of a Geisha (end scene in the garden)
- The Family Stone (meh... 'cept for the ending)
- I am Sam
E) Films supposedly sad but did nothing:
- A Walk to Remember (great music though)
Just a note that sections 'A' and 'B' are pretty much the same, the only difference being the fact that with 'A' I tried to suppress sadness and tears due to shame; hence the knot in the throat.
That's what happens when you try so hard to pretend you're not actually moved to tears. Most likely, you're watching the movie with someone else. Then, when the film ends you attempt to speak normally BUT your throat is all croaky and you could shed a tear at any moment! Muwahha!
You: "Oh yes, so that was a good film wasn't it?" (inside you're thinking "Ohmagod, saddest movie ever, my thoat still hurts, my SOUL IS CRYING").
I shall add more sad movies when they crop up again in memory. People, comment and add your sad films!
I feel like a "Sad Movie Night".
- Matt (Yes I'm a fat sniveling cry baby) February 10 Booooooo! Evil Uni! Boooo!In dedication of the number of times that my university has sufficiently screwed me over, I present to you this celebratory image-piece.
I urge you all to take this image, save it, copy it, and then distribute it to all your friends. That is all.
- Matt February 09 Tales from Kiffek (KFC)For the most part my week has been uneventful. This passing semaine (and the next one), I'll be working every single weekday so come along and say hi to me, lest I get bored. And when I get bored I perform poorly and that isn't cool. January 09 Look at what I just got for my room?Omigosh, best wall posters ever. Last Friday after our little KFC pep talk, our gracious head-honcho manager Pennie (or Pennie Pennie as she dislikes being called) was kind enough to let us take home some used KFC Burger Menu posters.
You know what they are. And you're probably guilty, just like any other pesky customer, of staring up at them for ages wondering what to get. You probably don't notice me standing there, tapping the sides of the screen impatiently as I, myself, contemplate going out back to find a broom to prod you with.
Anyway, back to these posters. No it's not illegal to take them home (I think). I mean the prices have all slightly been inflated i.e. 'bloody gone up again', thus the posters are out of date.
Now each morning I can wake up to a glossy picture of a juicy snacker burger shining gloriously over me, while the wicked wings lead me into (fat) temptation. You know, it just makes me so proud (and such a CustomerMANIAC™) to have these effigies of work staring down at me each day.
It makes me so glad to be alive, and most importantly, to be apart of KFC. Hohoho. December 08 Like a bridge over troubled water...I'm listening to Simon & Garfunkel because I'm slightly saddened by my results. I don't know if this stupid song is actually making me feel any better or worse. But damn, that's some good piano playing.
Oooh okay it's dark and the birds are starting to sing. I should get some sleep. Results
November 15 HmmI haven't written in this damned blog for ages. Do you know know what else I haven't done for ages? Properly slept or eaten. Thanks to my wonderfully tight schedule of exams & essays due on the same days, I have been on the fast track to becoming an emaciated little f*ck. I'm only just starting to eat dinner properly, but I feel like one of those people who haven't eaten for a long time, and when they're introduced to food, they find their bodies can't handle it anyway.
I only have one more exam next week (Cross Cultural Communication), which is good, because at least this week I'll be able to relax a little.
In other news, I'm ecstatic because I might be able take a semester of SPANISH next year!!! It's not without its hiccups though. Because I have 12.5 pnts free, and Spanish is 18.75, I have to apply to be able to over-load. And that may be difficult because I failed QM last semester. But c'mon!!! QM was part of commerce, and I dropped commerce. Grr I hate all this uni bureaucratic bullshit.
Anywho say Hi to me peoples, I'm bored.

September 27 Stupid Vodaphone peopleSo today I was busy re-arranging my rock collection when this stupid b*tch from Vodaphone rudely interrupted my clearly important holiday past-time. I don't even know if she was a lady; she sounded more like a post-op drag queen. No offence to drag queens of course.
But anyway, (s)he proceeds to deliver me a 5 minute spiel about some new crazy wonderful offer with no contract that would like, totally, make my life. Because she annoyed me so much I lied and told her I was under 18 and that I couldn't do anything without the approval of my parents.
I also fibbed and claimed that there was no one else at home, when clearly there was because my sister was barking obscenities to my brother (hohoho).
Speaking of Vodaphone, I really hate that radio ad where that stupid "American" girl tries to pull off a crappy accent, and tells us about her fetish for cowboy boots, and how Vodaphone saved her bank account/life. I WANT HER TO BE SHOT. And I swear she sounds exactly like the girl from the other Vodaphone ad. Stupid cheap companies.
Anywho, laters!
- Matt September 26 We went to the pictures todayToday Nikita, Caitlin, Ray & I went and saw Little Fish at Nova ($5 Mondays whoo hoo). Katy & Miranda were working, Stephen & Shaan were both busy, and Rohan we haven't seen for like a year.
Anyway, the movie was pretty good, maybe a bit disturbing at the end with the corpse, but it was a sweet gesture nevertheless (you must watch to understand).
While we were walking back home from lunch in Lygon, I suggested that we all play out a scene from Little Fish but everyone frowned at me and thought I was weird.
Then we left our seperate ways (Ray to walk back home, Caitlin to get her long-anticipated Jaime Callum CD), while Niki & I ventured down to the bus-stop together.
On the bus we saw a woman that looked like that boy who burnt down a church. She had long brown messy hair and we both thought that was cool.
Anyway I need to nap. Toodles! |
