Associative Thoughts

Saw the tv listings and spotted "One night at McCool's" ; apart from the cast (who's who in tv and movies 80s and 90s) and humourous plot, you'll never hear YMCA without cracking up . You'll never need confirmation that men think with lower appendages.


Famous actors tend to remind people of friends who claim to resemble them; for the one who "resembles" Bruce Willis ; it's the hairline


For those male ex-classmates who lamented the lack of attractive lit researchers/tutors ; check out the "cool" blogger at Ancrene Wiseass (blogspot)

LMH report

Finally read the report and was surprised by :
how young Dr Barr looks ; boy she hasn't aged a day mebbe the bod has anti-aging effects kinda like Dorian Gray's pic ; another aspect of the famous library?!
how bright the lmh library looks ; wasn't it really dark?

3 questions :

who's gonna win the next boat race?
who's gonna jump on May morning ?
who's the guy who said that the rad cam was sexy?!

The squeaky factor

Watched the campus superstar competition (after all the fuss) and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a mickey mouse fest ; at least the convent girl and the hc guy were pretty decent (no school loyalties need be suspected) Great sound but no character - hey, Tanya Chua had plenty of character even as a teen , remember her rendition of 'desperado' , sng gals ?

Men with certain high pitched voices are scary ; a matter of preferences? Much prefer Skye Wu and Lin Zhixuan to Jeff Chang

Crash, a tv addict's weekend and some thoughts

Haven't watch "Brokeback Mountain" but the media overload has more or less broadcast most of the movie , have to admit I prefer "Crash" despite having only watched the movie on a 15 cm screen that was all the more jerky due to turbulence . And that preference had nothing to do with Matt Dillon.

Granted that "Brokeback Mountain" is one of the few "gay issues" movies that isn't all about AIDS and effeminate men , it's nothing new . "Crash" despite all the trite 6 degrees of seperation plot and twists actually explores race and prejudice from some fresh angles


Saw the season finale of Gilmore Girls - the quirky characters are a hoot but if Picket Fences is oatmeal loaf ( serious quirky ) , this is more sugary cupcake

League of extraordinary gentlemen reminded me why Wilde's Dorian Gray is freakier than Poe's Monkey Paw, besides most of your storybook heroes in one movie -great !

Men suddenly in black was funny, sending up all those gangster themes and Boston Legal was hilariously sleazy

gotta get a life

Travel and TRAVELLING

Meeting up in London


Reminder to friends who've agreed to meet up on 18/11 , remember the one who doesn't turn up is a fink - hey greatest danger is the one who doesn't live anywhere near London ! And nope, not doi ng the university thingy , c'mon the last thing the tutors want is some weird student visiting at Michaelmas , besides, who wants to go to the bod and start reading?!


A Friend's site

Karen-takes-the-mickey (blogspot) is a great read for those who like adventure at a distance - won't ever have the courage to travel Karen style ; pure admiration from a city dweller

erm, remember a friend's invitation to spend 2 weeks in the countryside - politely refused for the sake of friendship and everyone's sanity
