Bruno
Finally got around to watching Bruno,it had its moments but was disappointing sad to say.I liked the bit with Paula Abdul (which she already mentioned during her Letterman appearance) and the swingers party,but it was patchy at best and even though the lighthearted love story about Bruno and his assistant Lutz take centre stage,it still felt like a run of random skits with no high,lows or glue tying it all together.I'd say it was 1/10th as funny as Borat (which I really enjoyed)-it comes down a succession of low-brow jokes that rely only on shock and controversy.Not that I have a problem with any of that,just that it wasn't all that funny.....

V put it best,she checks her FB once in a while but says she doesn't care much because "everyone has something to prove there".I don't like,well that's just putting it politely-saying "I really,really hate" brings back memories of a 15-year old me pointing to just about anything,ready to unload some kind of disapproval-anyway,(I can't stand) people who leech on others to make up for something (maybe I'm not describing it right).Take for instance S,a quietly witty and interesting/peculiar little 22-year old bourgeois with more than just a slight insecurity-she sticks to a duo of loud,boisterous "fun" types-one of which I don't mind,a genuine character but the other exactly the type to do things for show.Look how fun,how funny,how daring,how amazingly everything I am!Oh how would I describe myself,dearie?Perhaps this way!A high-powered,ambitious lady adventurer ready to take on anything,open to all types of fun,wild stuff and oh,do notice what a courageous,preciously unique snowflake I am!Come aboard,feel special! Toot-toot (train sounds)!
Anyway,I'm getting carried away.S latches on to these two,and feels immediately lifted from a kind of slum,now she is lively,bizarre,when really her behaviour around this two can be described as passive,submissive,every effort made to seem invincible.Meaning,S would go so far as to mute herself completely for fear of offending these two (for fear of banishment),training herself to become an all-go Yes Man-if only to attain that rub-off brand of mediocrity these two have been passing off as "fun".
Anyway,everyone's allowed to rant right.Some people do nothing but that.Just this once then i'm back to hamana hamana thou shall not crap-Mr No,I really think some people are just misunderstood and contrary to popular belief,not full of shit.
(Watching season 4 of Weeds again,I need to be in a place like that where people are openly dysfunctional.Utopia,love)

Juts returned from the US,I've just showered after a draining 15-hour journey and the past month I've dropped by a few places here and there,and seeing how minimalism is so in right now I'll avoid rambling and instead every now and then,post bits of pictures I took.First was Kelantan,fresh off the plane from Melbourne me father and I went to visit our sick Ayah Ngoh-and whilst there,we took a few detours off the beaten bath in a completely dysfunctional and probably haunted Kancil car-I'm not the best at taking pictures from cars,I tend to "ooh" "aah" my way without bothering much about the settings and as a result,often come up with pics ie the above: technically flawed a dozen different ways, but I secretly adore them anyways.
(more to come)
