In case you miss me XD~

I may not be around the intarwebz to crab and yell for a few days. I have a lot of work and it won't slow down until monday, when the first pass of our MAYA building asignment is due. Goddamn, but I wish I had a diferent building. Unfortunately, I already handed in my shitty pre-drawing, and so am kind of commited to using that building.

But goddamn, it has brickwork liek WOAH!!

If you know what I mean.

Just a brick building would have been fine, since one could just plug in texture maps and let the comp do the rest, but this building has gray-on-red brick patterns, and decorative window things and ledges and moulding and stuff like that.

When I choose it, I was only paying attention to its being a square building with rectangular windows and easy, straight lines.

I gave no thought at all to decorative brick window things.

And piled on top of that is the heapload of work due tommorow, for which I figured I had plenty of time.

Until I got sick and lay around pitifully complaining until 11 o'clock, when I had to drag my sorry ass down the street to but a printer cartridge.

And now? WHOOP! I'm online.

Big surprise there.

I just never learn about this time management thing. I always say I will, and swear next time I'll get the jump on the workload, but really, I just do the same damn thing every damn time.

Guess you really can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Nugie--Burung Gereja

Melayang sehelai bulu rapuhnya
Menunduk paruhnya seakan meratap
Sanggupkah diriku berkicau menyambut pagi, oh...

Melonjak tergesa ke dahan cemara
Teringat anaknya yang belajar terbang
Melanjutkan tugasnya mewarnai bumi

Berhembuslah anginku, bawa kicauku
Bergoyanglah daunku, iringi kepakanku
Berhembuslah anginku, bawa kisahku
Bergoyanglah daunku, iringi kebebasanku, oh...

Menutup matanya dan terbang merendah
Menghindari segumpal awan menghitam
Akankah 'ku sanggup cerahkan langit

Melayang sehelai bulu rapuhnya
Sanggupkah diriku berkicau menyambut...

Berhembuslah anginku, bawa kicauku...

what? again?

It is highly likely that new episodes of LOST only exist within the Matrix.

song meme

Yoinked from chal's LJ.

I qoute the explanation she used:
"Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING."


1. How does the world see me?
"Selling the Drama"-Live
(Kinda harsh there, WinAmp. ^^ )

2. Will I have a happy life?
"Hangin' Around"-Counting Crows
(Harhar. Even my music player's a critic.)

3.What do my friends really think of me?
"D-technolife"-UVERworld

4. Do people secretly lust after me?
"Sympathy"-Goo Goo Dolls
(Ouch.)

5. How can I make myself happy?
"Happypeople"-Skoop on Somebody
(Yes . . . but *how*?)

6. What should I do with my life?
"Sugar Coated Iceberg"-Lightning Seeds
(The title of this song doesn't even make sense on its own, let alone as an answer to anything.)

7. Will I ever have children?
"Hikari PLANIT_B remix"-Utada Hikaru, KH OST
(Whatever. It may not make any sense, but it seems like a good result anyway.)

8. What is some good advice for me?
Happy Summer Wedding-Morning Musume
(Wow. This quiz gives me the same advice as all my psycho aunts. This song is about as irritating as them, to boot. I think this quiz has powers.)

9. How will I be remembered?
"Proud Of My Loneliness"-Saiyuki

10. What is my signature dancing song?
"Losing My Religion"-REM
( -__-a Whut?)

11. What do I think my current theme song is?
"Finding Myself"-Smile Empty Soul
(Another random song my brother put on my comp. I don't think I've ever listened to it.)

12. What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
"Kangen"-Dewa
('Kangen' is Indonesian/Malay, and is the emotion of missing someone/place. Reff: "All your longing words/Make me more helpless/Trying to hold back my longing to to see you." Last verse:" Don't say 'love'/ It only makes the heart heavier/Just save your sadness/I will come" T_T People must think I'm a downer if this is what they think my song is.)

13. What song will play at my funeral?
"Lost Horizons"-Gin Blossoms

14. What type of men/women do you like?
"In Harm's Way"-Superjesus
(Bwahahahahaha~!! )

15.What is my day going to be like?
"You Give Love a Bad Name"-Bon Jovi

Your senses are pretty sharp (okay, most of the time) And it takes something big to distract you!

Don't be a ho!

Had a long phone call about weird things this morning. Somehow it got onto the topic of weird new Indo laws. Its always something psycho and inane, and usually based on 'morality'.

In a country where pickpockets, when caught, are lucky not to be set on fire by an angry mob (I kid you not!) it's funny that the morality we worry about are visible belly buttons and people showing too much skin.


R: Well, you know how they want to pass that new anti-pornography law?
Bart: As per usual.
R: What? You haven't heard about this? They want to make it illegal to show too much. It's like, cover up, yo.
Bart: Cover how much up? Do these people know they live in the tropics? has anyone told them? I should send them an email . . . .
R: Like, shoulders have to be covered, and no short-shorts and stuff. Past the kness, I think. For everyone.
Bart: No short-shorts? Aww~
Bart: It'll come down on the girls, though. You just know it will. Guys will still get to roll up sleaves and go shirtles when they play ball and stuff.
Bart: And how the hell are shoulders pornographic?
R: I dunno.
R:Some jackass hauled a lady to a police office and accused her of being a whore. He wanted them to question her. What was she doing? Waiting for a bus past dark.
Bart: Thats what they all say.
R: She was also eight months pregnant.
R: I think he's the one who needs questioning. And maybe psychiatric help.

Because pregnant women are all the rage as hookers. -__-;;; And even if she was, why can't people mind their own damn business?

R: They also want to outlaw kissing, hand-holding and all PDAs.
Bart: If their porn is filled with nothing but people holding hands, I pity them.
R: There was this kung-fu movie with a shirtless dude on the poster--
Bart: And the theatre put ducktape over his belly button. Yeah.
R: Hell no. I mean that too, but someone set fire to this one.
R: And yeah. It's gonna mainly be the girls. I like that idea: "I had a dirty thought, go cover up!"
Bart: I'm getting flabby go do some push-ups.
R: So many possibilities. If only the world really worked that way.
Bart: It doesn't? Go do some push-ups.
R: Anyway. It hasn't passed yet, and now people are protesting it.
R: Kinda like that "No vigorous sex" law they thought would pass then got protested out.

You heard right, folks! The No Vigorous Sex law.

R: Yeah. Some guy wanted to make it illegal to have sex that was too vigorous.
Bart: Some guy who's obviously not getting any.
Bart: It reminds me of that satire sex. Where the lady's just laying back, thinking of england . . . . That was a funny a show. I can't remember what it was called.
R: And no orgies, either. He wanted to make orgy patrols.

Yup. Orgy patrols. Thats a swat team I bet people would just be clamoring to get onto.

Bart: I wonder how you measure sex vigorousness. Do they have a scale? Heheh. Richter?
Bart: Imagine how bad it would be to have the orgy police raid you. It would be like rubbing it in: "No orgy? *whew* 'Coz your neighbors? Swinging from the walls!"
R: Rafters.
Bart: Either way, it's obviously too vigorous.

Nudity as political clout.

Apparently the anti-obscenity law that would have targeted everything from tank-tops to shorts to hand holding, kissing, and everything that might even be thinking about having something to do with sex (as per my last post) is now going to be revised to target things with lewd subject matter such as comics (mostly manga, in Indonesia), film, porn, and the internet.

What caused such a change?

Apparently, thousands of people descended on the House of Representatives (MPR/DPR) and danced before it in protest.

Dressed only in their undies.

And lo, it worked! Sorta.

Now they need to think of something to combat the anti-porn, anti-lewd content law. I'm thinking that if a show-no-skin law fell before a massive underdressed dance-fest then what we need now is a huge orgy in the MPR/DPR courtyard.

Who's with me?

gone is the music

or: My mp3 player is bust.

This bums me out. I'm hard on my more oft-used tech, but this is the fastest I've ever broken gadgetry, if you don't count the headphones I go through like some folks go through m&ms. Not that I broke it, exactly. It just sort of stopped working. It seems to be hung. I can push buttons, mash buttons, and hold buttons down, but all that works is turning the thing on and off.

At no point do catchy tunes issue forth.

I've sent an email to MPIO support, and I really, really hope they can help me out. I'm rather fond of the shiny thing.

happy birthday me

So I'm 24.

Why do I still feel 12?

I'm sure someone's going so tell me thats a good thing, but you know what? I really doubt it.

Damn. 24 and still (well, again) an undergrad. Thats just . . . pathetic.

Brokeback Mountain screens in Indonesia!

I can't believe Brokeback Mountain made it into theatres. I just can't. I mean, I'm happy, but in the light of this and this, and the general religious attitude I really didn't expect it to. In fact, we joked about the possibility of it screening in theatres with the solid assumption that it wouldn't.

I believe we said things to the effect of, "Yeah right, dumbass."

This just blows my mind. Really. Even if they sensored the shit out of it. It's just . . . wow.

I'm rather . . . proud of my peeps, as the kids say. Or, to be web-freindly: w00t!!

want

Does it not exude shininess?

I've been lusting over it ever since discovering that my Aiptek 3:4 tablet goes wonky with my widescreen laptop. with Intous, you can resize the work area to match screen ratio, but this tablet is already widescreen.

You want it too, now, dontcha? But good god, look at that pricetag! -__-;;; Thank god wishing is free. XP

"Honestly" meme

Yoinked from dzayde, who I lurk.

Originaly each sentance began "Honestly, blahblahblha," but that was annoying, so I cut it. This note is just so you know you are supposed to answer truthfully.

1.What color is your underwear?
Waht? All of it? Different colors. But serious, manly colors. Right now its either black with white lines or white with black squares. I think it's black with white lines. No, wait . . . . Yeah, black with white lines.

2. What's on your mind right now?
It's hard to tell.

3. What are you doing right now?
Doing this meme and listening to Gone Without a Trace. I was going to watch it, but once I'm online anything else is a lost cause.

4. What did you do today?
Worked. For hours. Timing my animation to match music . . . that skiped everytime I rendered it into movie form, even though it worked in the program. Finally, after days of working on this damn thing, slapped the only other sound file I had on hand into the comp and went home and ate ahlf a pizza to console myself. I also spent half an hour on hold with the phone company before giving up.

5. Do you think you are attractive?
I'm pretty damn cute. (I'd rather be 'handsome' or 'hot' or even 'neato'.)

6. Have you done something bad today?
Ditched anatomy class . . . to work in the comp lab. Yeah, I'm just the life of every party. -___-;;

7. Do you watch Disney Channel?
I don't get Disney Channel, so it's a moot point. I'm not always adverse to a little Lilo an' Stitch. Those crazy kids aliens crack me up.

8. Are you jealous of someone right now?
Right now? Nah.

9. What makes you happy most of the time?
Fast songs, pizza, porn, rain, running, my dog, clean clothes out of the drier, gadgets, and songs that render properly when rendered into a movie, goddamit.

10. Do you bite your nails?
No. I tried to cultivate the habit once, when I was little, but the bits of nail you get in your mouth were too gross.

11. What is your mood right now?
Kinda moodless. A little sad. Annoyed at my busted mp3 and the fact that my animation has the wrong damn song.

12. Have you had an eating disorder?
Nope.

13. Do you want to see someone this very minute?
Not really.

14. Do you have a deep dark secret?
Yeah.

15. Do you hate someone right now?
Sure. Lotsa folks. Even sort of metaphorical folks.

16. Who/what do you want to hug right now?
Not telling.

17. Are you loyal?
My one virtue. XP

18. Are you in denial?
If I am, I don't know what about. (or: The only way to win this question.)

19. Wouldn't you rather be having sex right now?
Right not? Wouldn't I always?

20. Do you smoke cigarettes?
Now and then.

21. Do you do drugs?
No. I might still get around to it. Eventually.

Indos crab about gay movie that would never have come out (heheh) five years ago--WTF, guys?

I know it means nothing to you guys, since I don't have to read the shitty subtitles, or put up with the merciless censor-edits. But you know? Thats not really the point.

Its being commercially available (As opposed to pirated like woah!) is itself pretty amazing, considering it coincides with morons in goverment wantign to regulated dress, all displays of affection, and all representation of sexual--and even maybe-sexual--things in the media.

Get a fucking clue.

Bad subtitles are nothing.

Even the censor edits are nothing.

I've about had it with forum!morons who go in and complain about stupid things like they didn't like amount of screen time the women got, or there wasn't enough hot gay sex (Which would have been cut out anyway, so really, I don't get your gripe.) Or . . . whatever.

People are duct-taping over the belly-buttons of shirtless guys in action movie posters and/or setting said posters on fire because they consider them obscene . . . while a gay movie comes out in public, commercial theatres.

It's fucking irony gold. More than that, it's a cheery sign in a country going ever further down the religiously over-zealous crapper.

So it is okay that I don't give a rat's ass about high-school aged idiot girls who prefer QaF as "Western yaoi"? You are an idiot.

Western yaoi . . . good god. I think I need a drink and a lie-down.


Anhi: I know you said something about subtitles in my tagboard. I really don't mean you. Because you, uh, read this. Right. XP


(edit: Am I allowed to say "Indos"? I worry when I post in English. If it makes any difference, I'm an Indo. Sorta kinda. Oh, t3h ebol mongr3lzz!!1)
