MY LIFE......as of 27Jan..CNYeve.. |
Okay. back to reality..ohno..where
is it? ive lost it!! *ponder*. oh well. no difference. Anyway, while the
bunch of u festive louts back home were having nice festive family dinners..getting
smashed...playing mahjong...sony playstation..etc etc.., I, was watching
the 25th Annual American Music Awards on TV. Now let me first explain why
i was watching it at all.. its coz BECK was supposed to be in it! ..oh
but he was... he was...The thing started at 9.30pm..and it was hosted by
drew carey(i cant stand the guy he should get a makeover and stay home
to be a good housewife)..followed by like twenty odd categories (of which
15 were about country music)..and performances by(get this)..Michael Bolton..who
sang(get This) a Pseudo-Opera thing and he was SO CRAP!..there were
the spice girls too.. but im not going to diss them. i think they're okay...
at least they know they're making fools of themselves and can laugh about
that..However, they did win three awards at that thing, and i think thats
ridiculous. In any case, i bet the whole thing was totally backdated..like
in 1996 or something so no one actually cares anymore..stupid channel ten..But
i digress..
Like i was saying..it started at like
2100hrs right? so i sat thru michael bolthead, the spice rack and lots
of really bad script, and Finally. at 0000hrs, after 2.5hrs of crap, BECK
appears as a nominee for Best somthing-or-other..pop/rock male artiste
i think..and he's against Puff Daddy(who brought his bored little kid)
and BabyFace...and what do i see of him? a Lousy FIve seconds Clip! ARGH.
(but he looked wonderful in it of course). Against the puffy face and daddy
with baby, obviously he didnt win. Contemporary against alternative..they
werent brave enough to choose the underdog.
Stupid waste of time.
Anyway, since im on the topic of music..more
or less.. Lemme tell you about Marilyn Manson. Now a mth or so ago, i was
telling pple to go chk out the CD and have a listen to the songs (since
u'd never hear em on singapore radio)..and most pple didnt actually bother(their
loss) but at least they were honest about it. And then there was this one
Brilliant guy, who told me.."I Did check it out lah! I just dont like her
voice..."
Me> HER voice?
Him> yeah...i dunno...doesnt sound so great...i like
your voice much
better..(trying to change the topic)..
Me> Right.
Okay. that sounds perfectly normal right? seemingly ignominous
remark about a singer on his part... Except, Marilyn Manson just so happens
to be a ROCK Group composed of a couple of Wild, heavily-tattooed Guys
wearing scary makeup. Haha. BUsted.
Anyway, why marilyn manson? to be
honest i dont know all that much about them.. but i do know one song they
did, "The Beautiful People". It Seriously ROCks man!!!!! and i still
encourage you guys to go look for it and have a listen.. but i think chua
joo huat's out of stock..except for the uncensored version(which is the
real stuff anyway) which they wun let u listen to.. heh.. in any case,
the album is called Anti-christ Superstar.. yes.. satanic. which is why
i didnt buy the album. but i still think that paticular song is bloody
good.. and as far as i can tell the lyrics are non-subversive..so relax..
It is now 3.00am in the morning on
CNY..the day itself..which means that its just turned CNY in s'pore..which
means i'll be getting a flood of icq msgs just...about...Now.
*uhoh!* .. *uhoh!*..*uhoh!*... BLeeping
things. (those of you with icq and speakers on ur pc will know wht im uhohing
about..) those of you without icq, go get it lah! It can muck up the first
time u install it..but try a few more times and bribe it a little..etc..it
shld decide to behave sooner or later...just don't threaten it... the software
might seem to acquiesce and behave..but they never forget. I'm serious.
*cue in eerie muzik*...Note how the ram is a satanic symbol..and then there's
RemoteAccessMemory..and EDO RAM..and now even *Dynamic* RAM..... woooooo...
And on those upbeat notes, i have
to get my daily 5hrs of sleep so Ciaos fer now!
Be seeing ya!~
