devastatingly human

i had hong send me three gmail invites because i was fickle about my usernames. what a waste of invites (on me) on hindsight, but there you go. i am especially particular when it comes to usernames or names in general. one word to encapsulate all. how very daunting a task. and i don't exactly like phrases in a name which go like_this_and_that_with_dots.and_underscores. too verbose la and very run_of_the_mill too. and then you have to decide what kind of "identity" you want to portray. i suggest "Pink.Thrash" for a something spunky funky you, enigmatic you would probably go for "the.tea.affair", "illumina" for an intellectual you and Catch_a_falling_star for an annoying (this is personal) overly drenched sugar coated yOu If YoU SO hApPEn To TyPE lIKe thIS. gahhhhh

at first i decided on derigueur for my gmail account. but later decided a revamp should be in store and so i created another account with Iridescentia. then i got hong to send me another invite because i had this brilliant 3 word username i thought was extremely cryptic and deliberately ambiguous.

i wanted "the.tea.party". too bad it's taken. i tried different combinations but all were taken up. not so recondite a username afterall eh? my friend suggested "teh.tea.party" which looks and sounds amazingly witty and hilarious but i didn't want something with an underlying humour to it. see there's this certain image i talked to you about just now? yes this must be kept.. with a straight face.

names are very important. if i had a band i'd spend a year thinking up different words and names, probably changing it everytime in fact. there are too many band names which start with "the". you have the killers, the cure, the smiths, the strokes, the wallflowers.. i like something eyecatching, something unusual. i admire people who make up worthy names. like that song "Famous Blue Raincoat". beautiful name, refreshing and individualizing, it turns into an icon affair. a sui generis. now tell me who the hell would call themselves F4 or 5566 unless their qi1 qi1 ba1 ba (7788)?

i just spent another hour cringing watching channel 8's 9pm drama The Champion. i've never missed a single episode cringing i can tell you that. that's how obssessed i am with the show. frankly i watch it for some male and babe action, but am very appalled at their primary 6 exercise every facial muscle distort eyebrows, and eye widths and mouth pouting to accentuate every single word they spew. just ACT natural. my god. the script is in a lousy state of disarray and "durh-ness"

imagine this model stick thin girl who supposedly loves scuba diving because she loves the underwater world and the environment tells this other guy that "under the water, everyone is equal..."

Rrrriight. i feel like walloping her. and the script writer.

yesterday's singapore idol wasn't so bad. big swing band jazzy blues how nice. my fav theme so far. and i must admit chrissypoo looks dashingly handsome and ever the chipper. looks every part the debonair beguiling 20's gangster with that fedora hat. hah like bugsy siegel and his spandex. sweeeett.

my dad just came in and i switched off the comp screen because i don't like people around when i'm blogging. he asked if i was watching porn. -__- yeah wadever floats your boat dad

no more romancing. no more waxing lyrical. i must must must pull through this. it's 7 mths of heaven after this
