So it’s been a few days since my two month vacation started, and I’m not really sure how I feel about it. I’m bored, bored, bored!

I did go to the beach with my friends last Saturday, and that was the highlight of my holiday thus far. I did get sunburnt though, so that’s not exactly something to be super excited about - oh, and the pain is excruciating!!!

It’s Swair’s birthday today, she’s turning 24 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Right, so I just finished getting ready to go to her costume birthday party! I’ll be the shmexiest sunburnt Flapper the world has ever seen! Ha!

Till next time, world!

Who would’ve thought a music video by Gnarls Barkley that consists of clinical dialogue and a CGI heart, would be able to clarify what most of us don’t understand, or can’t voice out.

You’ll either like the concept of this video, or hate how it tugs at your heartstrings (if you’ve got any).

Click here if you can’t see the above embedded video.

I don’t know why it works this way, but I’m never going to be able to get over you. And so from now on, every girl that I meet will be meticulously compared to you, and unfortunately, none of them will be able to measure up to the false memory of what you and I once “had.” I will now treat every woman that I meet with a passive-aggressive contentiousness that will ruin relationship after relationship for many years to come.

Till next time world.

My two month summer vacation started this morning at 9:38. I have no idea what to do till October 5th. I’m not travelling - I can’t even if I wanted to, and believe me, I really want to. My best friend is flying back to Dubai in 12 days (even more reasons to hate that place), and I might implode from the frustration if I don’t find anything productive to do.

I’m going to miss my friends at uni, hanging out in Dr. H’s office,
bombarding the poor woman with total randomness, munching away on Kalicha biscuits (try them with Kraft Spread Cheese - delicioso!), yapping away on art, music, and my newly acquired Kuwaiti words.

I know what I’ll do…I’ll catch up on my reading. I’m currently reading Gender Trouble by Judith Butler, and Wicked by Gregory Maguire. Oh, oh! I can also start drawing again, D reprimanded me for neglecting my “talent”. Let’s see how that goes.

Oh..and men are weird. Let’s see how that goes too? I suppose.

Leaving you with a short French film called On S’Embrasse about a “girl [who] arrives at her audition ten minutes early. Finding it difficult to learn her lines, she approaches a man nearby for help…” Watch and enjoy.

Till next time world.

I slept at 3 AM, woke up at 8 AM, tried to stay awake for my final this morning at 11 AM, and well yeah, I succeeded. Wrote more than I was supposed to (sorry Dr. H), and I returned home, plopped on the couch, switched on the TV, and unfortunately, I flipped to MBC 4 just in time to catch Untamed Heart starting.

The reason I said “unfortunately” is because the movie left me in tears. I didn’t need this today. As a matter of fact, I don’t need this any time.

Caroline: You love with your mind and soul, not you heart.
Adam: [Touching his chest] Then how come I hurt here when you’re not with me?

Here’s a rundown of the entire movie, from start to finish:

Heartbreaking, isn’t it?

One has to remind one’s self that this is just a movie. Love like this…exists on movie film rolls (?).

Till next time world.

1. I give the coolest gifts ever.

2. I say “seriously”, and “plus” way too often. Seriously. (See what I mean?)

I’m sure I’ve added this video before, but what the heck. Here’s Selfish Jean by Travis (as interpreted by Demetri Martin - hilarious!)

Till next time world.

As I was researching for my paper on the portrayal of women in songs, I came across a quote by Evelyn Cunningham where she states that “women are the only oppressed group in our society that live in intimate association with their oppressors.” How ridiculously sad, and excruciatingly true.

Now that I’m done with my research paper, excuse me while I kick back, relax and watch La Vie en Rose. :)

Till next time world.

PS. Has anyone’s Facebook profile been switched to the “new” Facebook?! If it has, what do you think? Yay or nay?

Not a Pretty Girl by Ani DiFranco. (Ignore the photos, and just listen to the lyrics).

Till next time world.

Tip of the day: No matter how flustered you are or how fast you want to get things over and done with, make sure you always double check the name of the person you’re going to call when you’re choosing from your “Dialled” list. You don’t want to be barking down the phone thinking it’s your best friend, when in reality it’s the person you have a superfluous flow of lovey-dovey emotions for. “SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! My bloody car’s stuck, and I can’t get it out of the damned parking space!” isn’t very attractive, and the awkwardness that ensues is a killer, trust me.

I’m sipping on lukewarm green tea. Oh joy; such a great way to start the day.

I woke up an hour ago, and the first thing on my mind, literally, was: “Crap! My papers for my Literary Criticism class!” I guess that was the real “great start to the day”. If it’s any consolation (to myself), I’ve got half the Marxist theory paper done, and I’ve got a title for my research paper (due on Wednesday) - yes, just a title. I’ve been telling myself over and over again that I work better under pressure; so who knows, I might be typing away at 4 AM on Wednesday. Let’s hope the latter isn’t true and I actually get over and done with this paper in the next three days.

I’m exploring new music, which is a breath of fresh air, because I was starting to get bored of the music I listen to over, and over, and over, and over again. I came across the Violent Femmes when I was reading The Time Traveller’s Wife, and I thought to myself: “Oh what the heck, it won’t hurt to check them out.” That’s what I did, I listened to the track mentioned in the book, Blister in the Sun, and I’ve had it on repeat for the at least the last half hour.

Click here to watch Blister in the Sun.

I don’t usually add two music videos in one post unless I’m trying to showcase the beyond-words awesomeness of an artist. I started writing out this post with a chosen “end of post song”, and I had no intention on adding Blister in the Sun. To make a long story short, I present to you Not in a Million Years by, the Maltese Indie band, Beangrowers. (Don’t ask how I find my music, if I tell you, I’ll have to kill you, haha.)

PS. When I started writing this post, it was 11:30 AM, now it’s almost 1:30 PM. I forgot to publish the post. Go figure.
