of the betterment of humankind

by m on Feb.01, 2012, under thoughts

might’ve solved one of life’s medium sized mysteries, about why we(i?) are often sick when we relocate from a city to another (via air)

might’ve been the jetlag, or temperature/condition differences, but i think the often overlook factor is the competency of the pilot driving the aeroplane.
descending from the air too quickly makes the body unable to adjust to the air pressure at height, severely reducing one’s defensive capability.

decided to (some sort of new year resolution?) shower without the lights on, from now on.
sense of joy and unmatched euphoria happened when i was doing that earlier.
can’t believe i didn’t try this before

of a lament or a requiem

by m on Jan.12, 2012, under tune

should do a cover song (song 2 by blur) but in totally different beat /tempo/nuance
like the woo hoo of happiness should be done as boo hoo in sadness / cry (.id has a good word for it, cengungukan)

basically,

boo hoo (something bad happened to me)
boo hoo (something else bad happened to me)
etc etc

just realised that the little “monday-tuesday” song that the horne section did as the closing segment for a spick specks episode is actually the same melody as batman opening theme from the 60s

of a childhood tendency

i hated garlic since before.
but these last few months i suddenly changed my mind?
been eating lots of garlic with everything.
not sure if it’s good? bad?
i remember people saying about garlic breath and all but, with my poor nose, i can smell a hint of pungency, but not enough to make me retch.
housemates not saying anything so far. all’s good?

longdagger would be lard eggnog
tetsu nagato would be stagnate out.. or even better, teats nougat.

of the ill-timed scientific process

melbourne summer, started getting to low 30s today
wanted ice coffee, or something similiar
well teh plan was just to make coffee and put ice cube on it (ala .id)
our pos-fridge wasn’t able to freeze block of ice within the proper time.
i checked it just now and it managed to make the blocks of ice around 10 hours+ after i put in the water.
and now the weather is wrong for an iced coffee.

should’ve known this before even trying.

decided that we can’t produce bowie voice, so if you were to play the song just do it with your own voice.

derp.
