Life has been quite uneventful over the last few days. Today and Monday consisted of the same thing... Watching Scrubs Season 1 and Mathematical Methods revision (at the same time, usually). These two activities are possibly the most polarised activities i could possibly undertake. Maths is boring (unless Mr. Frost is teaching you) and completely removed from emotions. Watching scrubs on the other hand, i find, is when i am most emotional. This either says a lot about my emotional depth, or about the quality of writing behind Scrubs. Scrubs makes me laugh as hard as just about anything else on this planet that i have discovered so far. Ironically, the closest i have come to crying in the past decade, is whilst watching a Scrubs episode (season 1 episode 4 'My Old Lady / season 3 episode14, 'My Screw Up').
The last time i cried was at my Nonno's funeral, when i was 8, and being as young as i was, i hardly remember it, only that it was unbearably sad. I guess what i'm trying to say is, my life, apart from Scrubs and Funerals, is just an emotionless haze.
Unless you count anger as an emotion.
And if by anger, you mean the rage one feels when someone else steals the last ice-cream sandwhich from the freezer >_<

(P.S. Mildy exciting day tomorrow. I get to see the love of my life at the Psychology revision workshop!! :D :D :D!!! TOMMY B!!!!)

Surprises
I bought a new Desk today. When my computer gets fixed, i will have the pleasure of following IKEA's instructions to put the desk together and my room will be almost complete. I will have all the tools and distractions to lock myself away from civilisation.
Now all i need is a giant poster of Rita Hayworth.
The final episode of Dexter today (yesterday at time of posting) was awesome. It could have been sex in tele-visual form if some prick hadn't told me the surprise twist 8 weeks ago. You know who you are.
Which brings me to my strange event for the day.
Today, upon searching the family computer for music files, i discovered that someone in my family has been hiding their love for Eminem from me. I discovered 3 Eminem albums stored away in the backwaters of the computer hard-drive, 'Encore' being one, the other 2 albums were named 'Best of Eminem 1' and 'Best of Eminem 2'. After a quick google search, these albums do not exist, leaving me slightly disturbed. This raises some interesting questions.
Who put them there?
The only two people who could possibly have put them on the computer
a) My Mum
b) Me
The answer is disconcerting to say the least.
Now, I'm pretty certain my mum doesn't listen to a rapper that raps about how much he hates his own mother... which scares me because that sounds exactly like the type of music i would listen to. However, i have never bought 'Encore' (please do not mention the other two albums i found, it's creeping me out) nor do i remember ever putting it on our computer. I do admit to owning 'The Eminem Show', it having been a favourite album of mine back in the day, but that was long before we'd even purchased this computer.
What i am trying to say i guess is, all the signs point to it being ME that put those Eminem Albums on the computer, but i don't remember doing it.
Is any of this interesting? Probably not to you. But this isn't your blog now is it?

Thoughts, Puppeteers and most importantly; Christian Bale
I am tired. Almost dead at the keyboard. Yet, the same as every night, i know that once i am in bed, trying to sleep, an eternity will pass before i actually do any 'sleeping'. Now, it's not the tiredness the next day that bothers me, that is usually tolerable, it's the fact that i have to fill that endless time, awake, thinking. It's quite surprising how shit my thoughts can be, especially when I am meant to have control over them, they are afterall my thoughts, right?
If my mind is a puppet, kill the puppeteer. He's an asshole.
My mind is an expert at self doubt. If my blogger stereotypes are accurate, you expected that. Yes, i don't have money/a job ('get one you lazy prick!' you say), expectations placed upon my schooling is quite stressful ('yeah, nobody else is stressed about school at this time of year'), I have no idea what my direction in life is ('somebody get this 18 year old a compass') and finally, my love life is the Sahara Desert. And no, I'm not using the Sahara as a metaphor my ladies situation being 'Oasis filled and extremely hot'. I'm using it as in, really, really dry and unpopulated. Why not just use a cold desert, like Antarctica, as a metaphor to avoid confusion you ask? Well, due to recent global warming activity it is very possible that any Antarctica referenced jokes/puns/metaphors will become irrelevant by 2050. It's quite scary Global Warming, really. Pretty soon the damage we've done to the environment, due to over-production of greenhouse gasses, will become irreversable. I don't like the sound of that Mr. Lovelock, no sirree, you make Al Gore sound like a backward-thinking oil tycoon. If only America had've voted Al Gore in as president when they had the chance, we'd have an 8 year head start on this motherfucker. Now we have to wait until January to get rid of this Bush fella, here's BARRACKING for OBAMA (pun count: 1). Although in some ways i'll be sad to see him go, Letterman just won't be the same ever again. Seriously, i cannot think of one non-Bush joke that i have laughed at on that show. Maybe the top 10 list. But only when i understand the pop-culture references it contains. The OJ simpson one was good, from memory. Also the one about American Airlines was also quite humorous, given it was on only a few days after i had been on an American Airlines flight and it was so true! I remember that flight quite clearly, or maybe i only slightly remember it and have filled in the gaps with Letterman's jokes. It's funny how memory works like that, usually a memory is what you think you saw. Of course, i know this because i study VCE Psychology and because i've seen Momento. Probably one of my favourite movies of all time, if you haven't seen it, i strongly suggest you do. Short-term memory loss + Telling a story going back to front but also forwards at the same time... brilliant. The movie's one downside is, despite how good Guy Pierce is, the lack of Christian Bale. Which brings me to EzyDVD. If you are taking Pre-Orders for a movie, say, American Psycho, how much had to go wrong for the shipping date to be delayed from the 22nd of September until the 5th of October. I would cancel my order if i hadn't already told every human being i know about the impending arrival of three of the Bale's finest works.
4 am seems as good a place as any to finish up.
By the way, tonight i'll try think of some decent aesthetics to decorate this place up. Excersise patience.
Sleep tight.
