Beyond Hammer House of Horror

 

Because you're worth it

Hugh Laurie hopes that he is. Is he flogging L'Oreal? I can't tell from this video.



Can you?

Two bloody tissues ...

As a wake up call, nothing beats multiple personality display on the interwebs.



Thanks to Suzi.

Monday, Monday ...

AAAARGGHH!! It's here!

But something like this

 or this

or this

  or even this,

 surely helps to ease the pain.

Teen idol ... dream idol ...

If anyone ask me how long I've been a (semi/kinda/sorta)hipster about music, I'll have to say: a long time.

It really started in high school when I turned up my nose at New Kids on the Block and many other teen pop idols of the day. Yes, I am old enough to know NKOTB and listen to the band as they shoot to stardom. Shut up.

I once sneered to a classmate (who is a diehard NKOTB fan with school file featuring said band, natch), that Donnie Wahlberg looked like a convict and Danny Wood looked like he's the missing link. She, who is one of the most on-the-narrow sort (and became a respectable prefect the year after, mind you), actually lunged at me and almost throttled yours truly except for the grace of God and the excellent reflexes of fellow classmates.

Hence, I learned that you mock the teen idol of the day to a hardcore fan at your peril.

I had something to say about all the members of the band, but the one that got me kicked the hardest was when I said that Jon Knight looked like he's gay. Which of course was met with strenuous protestation that he's so cute (what does that have to do with which way he swings?) and that he's straight 'cause he's dating girls like Tiffany (whose eyes they want to gouge out).

And guess what? Thirteen year old me was right.

Do I have great, precociously developed gaydar or what?

Time - place setting

Time-place setting is a debating term to denote a strategy to restrict the parameters of the debate unfairly. But time-place setting, as expounded in the video, gives an insight to how people perceive time and how that affects their decision-making.

I am amazed at the animation and I love the idea. Now I have something else to blame for my slothfulness. My geographical location.

If only ...

Team Fortress 2 is an animated show, I would so go for it.

Sigh.

Love this guy.

Pimping!!!

I have always been a little embarrassed that I could read and write better in English than I could in my own mother tongue. It had not always been so: I could only read English well only when I was eleven years old (thanks to my sister). Before that, I read exclusively in Malay and mastered all kinds of simpulan bahasa. I could even recite syair correctly.

So here is my attempt to write in my mother tongue.

The content are fictional accounts derived from my imagination or from stories I heard at my father's knee. And yes, he is good at telling some rip-roaring tales.

So please. Do come and visit. And tell me what you think.

Doc Horror

If this is an animation series, I would watch it religiously. But since it's a computer game ... *shrug*



Also, this is why you should google your surgeon first before going under the knife.

Midweek sh*t and giggles

Swing it!

For those who enjoy steampunk novels, here is the genre that would be the perfect soundtrack to your reading pleasure. Caravan Palace is a marvelous example of the melange that is electro swing. Big band sensibilities with electronica edginess, this genre is whimsical and magical with an underlying darkness like hidden teeth.





*is swinging away to the beat*

Groovy, baby!

Gettin' your groove on, owl style.



Unsafe for work cat sentiments below cut for moar lulz.

Horrorwood

So pretty ... *swoons*

What you would love to say about douchebag colleagues.

There are some things that even Freddy Krueger wouldn't touch.

Be afraid, Fido. Be very afraid.

Arachnophobia. It gets to us all.

When you are made of awesome.

 Happy belated Father's Day?

Male pregnancy is now more than just fanfiction.

 

Somehow, I prefer the Sheryl Crow cover version better.

Relationship manifesto

(Un)healthy relationships ... if you are in one or are looking for one, this is the song for you.



I give you the delightful Emily Haines and DJ Tiesto. Lyrics can be found here.

Monday, Monday ...

Ah, weekend... Why are you so short?

Maybe cat macros will reduce the pain.

Ah, l'amour ...

I have a fondness for Malay songs that were produced in the 70's and 80's; I think the melody and lyrics resonate with the closeted romantic in me.



Noor Kumalasari was a model, actress and singer in her heydays. She was well-known for her stylish attire that complements her tall and willowy figure. As an actress, she specialised in tearjerker films like Tiada Esok Bagimu, Abang, Matinya Seorang Patriot and  Esok Untuk Siapa. I loved her in the movie Rahsia, where she played a grieving mother haunted by the ghost of her child. It was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

She had produced around three albums and one greatest hits album. Noor didn't restrict herself to a single genre, singing romantic and even comedy songs. Her voice is distinctive and is capable of decent range; but to me, her greatest strength as a singer is the sincerity of emotions that she can convey. It breathes life into her songs; plucking your heartstrings with emotions or making you laugh out loud. 

It was reported that she is now content to stay out of the limelight to devote herself to God and her family. Bless her for having shared her talents with us.

A lolcat life

I love animal macros (I think you can tell by now). Let me use some of them illustrate what I think other people see when they look at me.

This is the reason why I make a lousy photographer (and investigator too).

This happens a lot to me too.

I do this a lot to my niece (and vice versa)

This could substitute as one my school photos.

Moar better living through chemistry - midweek sh*ts and giggles

Because I am lazy to think and I thought these are LOL-worthy.

Before Botox, one is dependent on either susuk or Dorian Gray's (if you're in the West) portraiture in the effort to retain youthfulness.

It's all about the joy juice (and I'm not talking about Kickapoo here, mind).

Weed: making housewives happy had never been so easy.

Don't take it lying down, girl!

When I saw this picture:

I thought of this song:



which was featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie, Death Proof. I love April March's music style; I was surprised that she's actually a contemporary artist and not one from the swinging 60's.

For those ladies who want to warn their man who has a wandering eye (and other body parts) tendency, send him this song.

*grin*

Better living through chemistry

Yes/yes?
