Saturday, July 03, 2004 0 comments Post a Comment The running last night kept me up till (with the adrenaline rush) 3am. So naturally i slept till 12 noon again. My legs felt like chewed gum and i felt like lying down forever. Well that's that, and i should be going for another run after finishing this entry. gone crazy liao. Must beat dele. At ALL costs. ~ Quite a fruitful day. In terms of completing things i've always wanted to do. Finally got a chance to finish my Tori Amos " Welcome to Sunny Florida " Concert DVD. Cos my parents weren't around or they would be complaining that the music's too loud (my brother did that anyway but heck him.) I still love tori. And she's SUPER weird. Like groping her crotch when she sirened for "These Precious Things" , shooting a middle finger out at the "girls that never gain weight" in her song "Father Lucifer"(CHEERS to that!) and having irregularly timed spasms throughout her playing. And as someone (i think neil gaiman) said, she looked like she's making love to her piano stool. And i still think she's a charm, altho mi bro really doesn't think so. in fact he thinks she's ugly but oh well, she IS 40 plus. And i also got to watch the Italian/French movie "Malena" whose VCD i borrowed from dele. I watched the show before on SCV and loved it. And dele bought it. She hated it cos (i quote) "what are the men doing? they are comparing the sizes of their penises!" (she thinks it some really stupid erotic show) haha. it's not even VERY arty but i like the feel of the show. It's about (put simply) a 12 year old boy's infatuation with Malena, a gorgeous lady whose reputation among town men were usually fuelled by erotic fantasies and among women driven by jealousy and insecurity. It's interesting how the boy's love was so 'real' as it was pure sometimes (like how he teared when she had to sleep with other men for bread and sugar , and how he dreams of asking her to wait for him to grow up) and yet erotic at others (like relieving himself while listening to a song Malena danced to, imagine himself peeping up her dress) which is such an appropriate and adequate reflection of what kind of feelings most men go through. Never purely taiwanese ou xiang ju lovey dovey crap . It's sorta like a comedy with comic characters like his dad who is the most hilarious person in the show (nailing boards on his window and locking his son in when he realised he stole Malena's undergarments to sleep with; bringing him to a prostitute to relieve his sexual appetite) but still hugely romantic cos the show is filmed from the angle of the boy who is constantly stalking her with his new bike. The innocence of the boy, praying to a certain idol in a church asking that 'saint' to take care of Malena for a few years before he grew up and he'll 'take over' and then damaging the statue when she had to sleep with a lawyer to pay for her lawsuit. Pretty interesting. Gonna ask dele to give it to me if she doesn't like it. hehe. ~ yawn. i wanna go out. but no1 wanna go out wif me. *glum look* not that i dun wanna ask but i can't think of any1 to go out with! like the ppl are either working or i just met up with them or i normally dun meet up with them 1-on-1 or the other 99 reasons. And i dun wanna go out alone today. But it's a SATURDAY! *grumbles* a long weekend somemore. someone better ask me out NOW. (i haven't even received an sms or a phonecall today.) No potential ppl are online for me to ask. And i'm feeling LAZY. i'm just being whiny. but the last saturday night i spent at home was realli long ago and i dun wanna make an exception today. boo. and i wanna wear my new sandals or shoes. ~ i think i'll be seriously exhilarated with a earhole. I'll be grinning from ear to ear. haha. then i'll start getting tired of ppl asking me "WHY?" , suffer my relatives' interrogations and oh hell, my parents' wrath (or more like bewilderment+resignation+cross since i'm old already). We'll see. ~ My 100th post. I am one noisy fish. 7/03/2004 05:10:00 PM
