...still procrastinating

something cool I found;

la la la...

you should be able to recognise these two songs, Crazy by Gnarls Barkley & Rolling in the Deep by Adele.
it's quite bizarre how well they work so well together considering they're completely different songs.

Well, time for lunch and then I'll work the rest of the day,
I SWEAR I WILL.

Things I do when I should be working

An interesting little thing I found:

I should warn you all; not for the wimpy.  kuhuhu.
If you don't like freaky things please do not read this.
And also it doesn't really matter if, like me, you do not happen to be fluent in Korean.


So instead of working on my art folio which is now due in exactly 

                 

             FOUR WEEKS

I have been wasting my time doodling and zoning out and being a stoner.

This interesting character is from my favourite manga, a creepy horror investigation manga called

         ムヒョとロージーの魔法律相談事務所.

                                 (Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation)

Yesterday was Wednesday and after conversation practise with Koizumi-sensei I attempted to make my way to a strange out-of-the-way craft shop called Zart Art to purchase clay for my Art project.

The smallest size they supplied this clay in was 10kg, so I had to lug this enormous 10kg lump of clay all the way from Box Hill North back home to Oakleigh, which is about an hour's worth of travelling...

Here's the aforementioned lump;

Needless to say, the clay did not survive the trip.

While trying to validate my ticket on the bus, I dropped the clay and it fell onto the edge of the steps of the bus...leaving a massive dent in the clay. I think the bag actually split open but I was too lazy to put it in a new bag so the clay might be partially dried out by now...ehehe. n__nU

I was so tired when I got home that I went straight to sleep, and I only woke up this morning.

Which is Thursday morning.

Good morning, Mr. Window.

I was bored so I played with this balloon I snagged at Melbourne U.

HELIUM IS FUN.

What you do is, you draw on the balloon when it's inflated, and when it deflates the pictures become tiny and really cool. I guess it works a lot better if you draw something intricate and detailed, but I'm a lazy mofo so I just doodled on the balloon.

WELL. Enough messing around. Time to do some actual work I suppose.

I found this most interesting thing

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be
speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the
world. 


Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

Just as a point of interest: Did you know that there's a certain town in Wales called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.


And also, have this;

Oh yes.

stupid internets.

I hate how it's

impossible to
(properly)

convey sarcasm over the internet

without the use of

CAPITALS

or

italics.

and even then you just end up sounding like some kind of pretentious douche.

P.S. Thanks you Judiee ^_^

I was lucky enough to have been able to play through a fair part of this game a while ago, and I instantly fell in love with it. IT WAS JUST SO AWESOME. I don't know how to describe it.
So like just watch the video.


I love it when you run into games that are more than your typical hack and slash, FPS or RPG featuring a blonde, teenage, effeminate protagonist fighting to save the world from a pretty boy with long white hair. 


I was going to say something else but I forgot and I don't know how to phrase myself properly anyway. In a way that would convey my meaning exactly the way I want it to.


Meh.

Be pimpin'

Hullo

Hello there.

The idea of creating a blog has actually been floating around inside my head for a while now, but I never made one due to the fact that I have one of these:

This is a sketchbook.

and also the fact that last time I tried to make one, I spent ages trying to find an awesome background for my header but couldn't find any that I could even consider mildly satisfactory. 
My sketchbook doesn't actually look like that. In fact I'm not even sure that it's a sketchbook at all, but it has blank pages in the very least. I got it as a birthday present about a year ago, and I've almost used it all up ^__^. So yeah, you could be seeing it soon. Or not. There are some startling things in there. Yohohohoho.


What's with the onions?

This is what the onions are about.

See that thing she's holding?

THAT'S AN ONION.
