It's all gonna break!

Broken Social Scene last night was awesome. Awesome in a sense that it kept me at awe. Although I haven't heard all the songs from their new album but still, they took me to a happy place. At one point, Kevin(Lead singer) went into the audience. Like just, hopped onto the floor. And everyone was all :o and hugging him and :o-ing some more. But there was this annoying girl who was trying to stuff her camera into his face or something, and you know what Kevin did????(I personally would've grabbed the camera from her and brutally smashed it into her skull but,) He took the camera and took a picture with her. ;_; Such a beautiful soul. Then he took pictures with another 20 or so people. While singing. IDK why but I was very touched although I was all the way on the third floor balcony. And it was such a loong and fruitful concert. Hate it very much when performers end after 1 and a half hour. They played a full 2 and a half hours and it was 2 and a half hours of bliss. I left the concert hall very happy. (Sorry about the grainy picture but that's the only thing my phone was able to take. Anyway considering the amount of DSLRs at the concert hall I's think the flickr BSS photo pool(assuming there is one) will be happily growing with pictures from last night)

Anyway Mercury prize nominees were announced last week and I sure do hope Mumford & Sons get it because their album is very good(understatement). Okay I must admit I haven't heard of most of the albums nominated but of the 3 I know(The xx, Laura Marling) I think M&S is the most deserving! But of course no one actually cares for my opinion.

I am really annoyed by NUS Myisis(Stupid thing to say out loud). I can't print out my giro form on Chrome because it can't process it and I tried using IE and the page doesn't. even. load. Okay I bet no one cares about the trivialities of my life but considering how mundane my life is, this is quite an event.

Today I vacuumed the floor of the house voluntarily due to how terribly bored I was. And I found 2 dead cockroaches around the house. This means that my house is really disgusting such that is not not even adequate for cockroach survival. How very disturbing, since cockroaches survived and thrived for 320 million years.

I am currently eating:
It has been quite a while since I've had some. There was once a time in my life that I was completely addicted to this cereal, and I had it every morning without fail for around 3 months. Then my mom decided to not buy it because of rising prices, and the next time I had it, I decided I didn't like it anymore.

I wanted to go out to spend some money today but I decided on staying at home to watch Atonement. Sloth, a poor girl's best friend. Anyway here I am, watching Running with Scissors instead. And I think if I had a movie about my life, I'd have Alec Baldwin act as my dad too. Telling everyone that Alec Baldwin is my Dad(kinda, in a sense) would be awesome stuff.

360deg

Ah, Lomography has a new camera, the spinner 360 and the pictures are awesome! I want very much but it will most likely end up unused after a few rolls. But these pictures are so cool, it's pretty much the horizon kompakt's awesomeness multiplied by around 7.
Right up there in my wishlist!!!!!!!
Pictures from here!

Void

I am really apologetic for my lack of posts for the past few weeks! I honestly have nothing to post about, considering that work has consumed my life and there is hardly anything worth telling the interwebs about. But! Work ends in 11 days and I'll start living again!

The past 2 days I spent doing 2 things. Reading and watching documentaries.

I read '36 arguments for the existence of God: a work of fiction' by Rebecca Goldstein and enjoyed it very much. The book left me feeling smarter and wanting to become smarter! Recommended many times over.

National Geographic and Discovery channels were my best friends! Whale, polar bears, killer jellyfish, hammerhead sharks, prehistoric crocodiles(they fed on dinosaurs!!!), Kazakhstan, Venice, unhealthy American food, gorillas, giant octopus. (Y) I love documentaries.
