One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art

HOW VERY DISTURBING.

So anyway for conceptual design the teacher (or should I say... The Teacher) made us watch this fucking torturous and arduous movie called.. Koyaanisqatsi. And made us write our thoughts AS we watch the film and after.. And the film was 84 minutes long, with NO dialogue, no plot no main characters. Wanna try and beat that?

The movie was made in the early 80s, and was based on the prophecies of the Hopi people (I didn't know Hopi people existed. I knew Hoppipolla from VALERIE and SONJA but not Hopi people - you get me). And the prophecies state:

• If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster
• Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.
• A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans.

I really think the word "precious" is kind of subjective though, don't you think? Precious may = gold and diamond to some. But some people may not view those to be "precious". Unless of course we are generalising that the "Hopi" people are all living in poverty. Or extreme excesses. Saying that those above are prophecies (I take it to mean predictions of the future done by human beings), then they don't get leeway for saying "a container of ashes MIGHT one day be thrown from the sky". Hmmm, I could've said that.

However, cinematographically speaking, this movie/film/whatever these artsy people call it, deserve an award. It was a visual and aesthetic treat in terms of texture, colour, angle.. They were all brilliant. The soundtrack (I hesitate to call it a soundtrack, however, since they only chanted one word in all.. And that was Koyaanisqatsi, the title of the film in different tunes) was hypnotic. Although the teacher already warned us beforehand, I still found myself getting so absorbed, not necessarily in a good or bad way, to the music which was composed by Phillip Glass.

Most importantly, the most telling and/or powerful goodness of this... thing, is in its own concept. The absence of dialogue, or a main plot, does one thing, and does it well. It doesn't pollute your mind of what your interpretation of the scenes, of the frames, of the stills. It does not influence. It is for you to pick up in the details.

MAN THAT IS A HELL LOT OF BULLSHIT FOR SOMETHING NOONE CARES ABOUT. IF I WEREN'T FORCED TO WATCH IT AND TAKE NOTES DURING THE MOVIE I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY SAID "FUCK THIS SHIT" TOO. BUT I DID. AND IT WAS GOOD. SO YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO SEE IT, WHEN YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE BEING DEPRESSED ABOUT OUR MANUFACTURED WORLD. I AM SO DISTURBED RIGHT NOW. I SWEAR.

Koyaanisqatsi

noun

"life of moral corruption and turmoil", " life out of balance"

p/s: now I have to check up on what Hopi people are.

Karma is an unforgiving bitch

Of all things, I decided to look at my horoscopes... And oh my GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I am SO reading my horoscopes from now on. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

WELL besides that, I'm so fucking dead. CAN ANYONE COME ONLINE AND TALK TO NEEDY-ME??

I know I am really starting to sound a little, just a little bit odd today. Or always, whatever. This is because I am a little delirious. I don't know if I'm happy or I'm delusional. And I just went on Wikipedia and the featured article......... OH.MY.GOD.OH.BOB.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHA

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone came for a good, thought-provoking read, sorry to disappoint.

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

I didn't sleep a wink last night rushing my homework after a design symposium thingy that we all volunteered for but in the end we just walked around and gawked at some great dining-related designs. It was also The Night We Stole A Bottle of Chardonnay and Vodka. Whatever the hell the reason is because they taste like shit. Expensive shit. Mostly there were great tables, some too artsy but conceptually just breathtaking. As most of you know, I am flatware obsessed - which is why I volunteered in the first place. The flatware on showcase yesterday could've made me orgasm right there and then. Some pictures?

Fuck the pictures aren't uploading. Well anyway updates - Ong can't make it here in December.. Which just sucks. And Siti you are still my EDF (eating disorder friend). Please text me to remind me not to be a bitch and stop eating.

And I am going to be staying up again tonight doing homework for tomorrow's class. Ugh I'm in no mood to be a bitch and talk about hot teacher. I'm going to go get food now.

Not My Day

Although it is Wednesday today, I don't feel very happy. 

1) A kid in the elevator cried seeing my nail polish and his mom scolded me. (These things only ONLY happen to me. Bob, why me?)

2) I am lagging behind in one class so badly.

3) I ate 4 bananas today although I am supposed to lose weight. (Always)

4) Someone I am close to is being a total bitch/whore/manwhore/grossfuck

5) Hot teacher says he expects more from me.

6) I am fat.

7) I am still fat - only typing to burn 0.004 calories.

On the bright side,

1) I had sushi today.

2) I have not shopped the past week (WHAT, REALLY?)

3) Hot teacher said I'm smart.

4) I may be going to NY in December if Ong doesn't get tickets. But I still want Ong to come.

To state other mundane things that will make me neither happy or unhappy will be really testing the readers' patience and friendships with me. But I will try anyway.

1) Gossip Girl in 1 hour.

2) I have to do a hair mask, and a facial mask. Yay? Maybe not?

3) I am going to the gym at my friend's apartment later.

4) After the gym, we are going to Safeway.

Seriously man, I need a life. Tell me to get a life. And I am obsessed with flatware, so I think I should be a flatware designer. So says hot teacher. But that just sounds wrong, and awfully contrived. "When you are on the cover of Metropolitan Magazine and you give a mediocre interview I hope you look back and remember that I told you to keep a personal sketchbook". "I think we both know you are". "I am a good guy". "Even the Mona Lisa's falling apart, Stella". "I am just hoping this is a habit that you are going to keep. You had a reason to be nervous.". And lastly, "that wasn't so bad, was it?"

Yeah, definitely not my day.

Dancing with Myself

So let's sink another drink

Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

I don't know how this sounds but oh I miss Q so much!
