Midnight in Paris

Perhaps it's the Paris of the golden age we are all looking for. That is what the Woody Allen film surmises. I guess that's true. We are always looking for that golden era, not the reality we face today. 

Now that I'm registered at Pottermore...

After what felt like centuries of trying to submit my email to Pottermore.com, they finally accepted it. That,my friends is how difficult it is to go to Hogwarts. Probably a million other fans like me clicking the submit button and getting frustrated for the insufferable resistance of the website to accept our email addresses. So now all we do is wait for the 31st of July to get our owls from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Since it's quite a long wait, i have made a to-do list of the usual things we need in Hogwarts.

Here's my 9 things to do at Diagon Alley since I am now registered at Pottermore:

1. Go To Gringgots and exchange my currency for galleons, sickles and knuts.

2. Get measured for robes at Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions

3. Check out books at Flourish and Blotts

4. Buy an owl at the Eylops Owl Emporium

5. Check out the Apothecary

6. Visit Weasley's wizard wheezes

7. Ogle at broomstick display (while planning to apply for Quidditch)

8. Most Importantly: Buy a wand at Ollivander's

How do fans know JK Rowling has not forgotten them? This website. To the fans of the series who may be experiencing signs and symptoms similar to that of an alcoholic whose supply of alcohol has been cut off permanently, this website will be the answer to the fans' call for a group therapy session similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. I can't wait util the 23rd of June!

I was a Teenage Otaku

I had such a fun morning sitting in front of my computer checking out the list of anime songs. I was once an Otaku, I didn't realize how much I missed it until I listened to some old songs from last night. Just listening to the opening theme of Yu Yu hakushu made me reminisce all the great anime I've seen since i was a child. I'm forever a geek.

G'bye captain

A PREMATURE GOODBYE. HE DID NOT GO. BARCELONA BIDS ARE RIDICULOUS. ARSENAL SAYS NO. WE STILL HAVE HIM. AMEN.

So it's final.

Wenger gave the go signal.
Barcelona officials to meet with his agents.
Deal starts.
Arsenal wants 50+Barcelona player.
Barcelona offers 30+player.

Goodbye captain. I never saw much of you this season. And we had quite a shitty one. I guess it's as shitty for you too. Nevertheless, I must say my adoration for you has been tainted by the previous summer's transfer saga which put a stake in the hearts of most Gooners. But you were our captain and we still love you. Truth of the matter is that we can never keep you for too long. You may be wearing an Arsenal shirt but your heart bleeds of Barcelona's colors. I would have wanted to keep you longer in the club because I want to see you raise a trophy wearing the captain's armband. Skeptics never liked seeing you wear the armband. They say you do not have enough experience, enough drive, enough maturity to command your team mates. But I disagree with them.  We see you on the pitch and we see an Arsenal captain who is a commanding presence on midfield. You were exceptional on the field and with that, you guided your teammates to scoring goals. You were a leader. Off the field, your teammates treat you as they would a very close and well-respected friend. Skipper, they call you. But looks like you're time with us is final coming to an end.

I have a lot of issues of your transfer. This is the major one. Barcelona is a club whose meteoric rise to the top of the footballing world is due to their first team. Their first team consists of the same roster of players who've played at every game, give or take a few injured ones. Where would you be playing then? Their midfield is already congested with brilliant play makers. Are you just going to be a sub? I'd hate to see that because you're worth more than that. And you need to play as much as possible next season, because frankly you have not been playing for a long time. Is it too late to hope that Barcelona will not be able to afford your asking price of 40 million?! They don't even want to pay the asking price. Even if they throw in players from their team, the unfortunates who were not able to play most games like Thiago and Bojan, you're still worth 40million and more. And we need the cash to splash on experienced players to replace one of the same caliber as you.

Okay that's enough for now. You're going. Really going. I'll miss you, but not so much since not seeing you play at many games this season prepared me for the inevitable goodbye. I hope you'll still leave a place for us in your heart. Cheesy. But you can never forget the club who took you in when Barcelona never had much use for you then. The club who raised you to greater heights in your footballing career. The club whose manager nurtured and trained you. The team whose members, players and coaches and others alike called you captain and gave you respect and loyalty. The fans who cheered and cried for you. We are The Arsenal and we bid you goodbye and great luck.

ERUDITE CONCEPTS

If you're not familiar with the work of Boswell D. Rabbitsmith, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates."

His mind sees things differently than most of us do, to our amazement and amusement. Here are some of his gems: (He also makes his living as a comedian by the name of Steve Wright....)


1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.

3 - Half the people you know are below average.

4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.

9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.

12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?

13 - How can you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

16 - When everything seems to be coming your way, maybe you're in the wrong lane.

17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not being smart enough to be lazy.

18 - Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

19 - I intend to live forever... so far, so good.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

22 - What happens if you get scared half to death...twice?

23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

30 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

32 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

33 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?

Blast from the past

An interesting fact of life is that insipid creatures of the likes of that which we shall henceforth call Yellow. That creature of vile matter should not have been released into society where the creature strives to perfect the art of evil. Ah, well...This creature exists so people can always have someone to overthrow or destroy and perhaps show the bitchy side of every one the creature encounters. 
That gifted creature has powers enhanced by subtlety...look not into its innocence but to the dark, murky muck the creature hides behind that pleasant exoskeleton. Creatures such as Yellow have attitudes that range from subtly evil to full blasted evilness. The dastardly creatures can be identified by the following signs and symptoms:
-lies, lies, lies
-tall tales
-whiny
-sudden interest in people/stuff the creature has previously dissed but upon discovery of your great like for that matter, has taken interest in it too
-kleptomania-like tendencies
-gives out false notices, false advice, false information
-false smile
-crap, all crap


When these do occur, find the closest cave and hide. Or when you're looking for trouble, face the creature and DESTROY, there is NO room for error because the creature has life-retaining abilities from absorbing the evil auras.

so bite me yellow, and i'll bite your head off.

The wisdom of Elizabeth Lemon

How do you juggle it all?’ people constantly ask me, with an accusatory look in their eyes. ‘You’re screwing it all up, aren’t you?’ their eyes say. My standard answer is that I have the same struggle as any working parent but with the good fortune to be working at my dream job. Or sometimes I just hand them a juicy red apple I’ve poisoned in my working-mother witch cauldron and fly away.

“You must not look in that mirror at your doughy legs and flat feet, for today is about dreams and illusions, and unfiltered natural daylight is the enemy of dreams.”

Sometimes there are no words to describe your emotions so you're left with GIF's...

Note: an ineffective mantra: i will study, i will study, i will study, i will study….later. 

procrastination mode for 3 days…and counting.

So I’ll be channeling Sheldon/Raj/Leonard/Howard’s genius-ness to get through the test

I mean, it’ll work right? I’m starting to panic since its less than 30 days the BIG TEST (like REALLY BIG TEST) and I have not managed to get through my study schedule. BUT even if I am fully aware of that, I still don’t have the MOTIVATION to study

When I start thinking about it, i become stressed out and turn to other things to make me happy, like go to Tumblr, watch a movie and FOOTBALL etc…

So tomorrow, while answering the test i’ll probably be staring really hard at the question trying to find a clue about the answer

And seeing other people finish faster than me and laugh about it like it’s no big deal while i sweat my ass off answering:

So I start answering really fast because I want to end this torture of 500 item questions with multiple choices…

And when I finish, it will all seem like such a success

Until I know the results which is on the next day (Doom…Doom…Doom)

But until then i’ll be like
