Well. Daph and Rish are out of Malaysia and on their way back to Australia today. I wish they'd stayed for longer. I wish I could teleport, will someone invent a safe, cheap way to do that already?

Not usually my thing, but I really like this woman's sound. I suppose it helps that there's a noticeable sample of The Clash in it (and that the gunshots in the song usually lead to signboards):

M.I.A. - Paper Planes.

Oh, and she's pretty easy on the eyes, too

I am noticing a trend that makes me uncomfortable. Why am I being recommended as someone to educate others on what I call "issues"? Look - I thought our prime minister's name was Anwar till very late last year. Reality and I, not great buddies.

1) I am known for my "lainie logic", which basically means my sense of logic defies the conventions of common sense.

[ That being said, I find a lot of things considered common sense to be very very silly, and if you agree with me, then maybe we're off to an okay start. Especially if you like the show The Mighty Boosh. ]

2: Are you sure you want an opinion from someone who refers to "issues" as a monolithic entity within quotation marks? Shouldn't that be just a lil bit questionable?

3: I. Am. Antisocial. On top of that, anyone not used to my socially inept way of talking probably thinks I'm loopy and mean. In my world, I'm very nice - unfortunately these sentiments don't usually carry to the general population, because that involves balancing my opinion with...a lot of others...from those things we call...people.

How are those factors a healthy combination? This isn't science fiction, and I'm not some lesbianYoda to learn from.

May I suggest using the vast resources of Google, Wikipedia, and the one located in your head? The only thing I recommend is, doubt is healthy. Especially if the opinion originated from this blog.

Oh, and I said to Jemufo

Lainie: It'll be deeply disturbing if I ever had to change the world.

The first thing I'd do is make everyone wear rainbow clothes. But hey, at least everyone'll be clothed (in uniform....). Then everyone will have to watch porn. Even babies. Which means the first thing I'd do if I could change the world was to force gay themed outfits on everyone. And sustain a porn industry.

I'm watching a pretty cool video on Youtube. It's by this guy who does pretty cool caricatures, and after a 30 second portfolio, you can see a step by step video of how he sketches / colours one of them:


You can see his other caricatures here (nice colour work)

Pretty cool, ei?
