>>> When things crash...

... you pray that you don't burn.

The family portable computer has crashed and I think that I might end up paying for the repairs. The tech [Mike] said that my half-a-year old 160GB hard disk failed, but he'll try and get the warranty to pay for repair or replacement.

I think I really need to get my own laptop, one that game as well as work, design-wise. Any suggestions?

In other news:

And I'm updating via my brother NEZ's macbook. YAY for MACs! Lol.

Oh, and I called XM01 [my Spanish love] today, and she sounded soooo great... *turns into gooey mush*

That song by that kid Sean [Shaun?] Kingston is really starting to annoy me. I wish that the radio would STOP overplaying it. And I just LOVE the current live action shows that I watch on TV... well, the rare occassions that I watch TV. Bones, Criminal Minds, Over There and Shark... wheeeeeeee~! But I still love my anime more. :)

BOOYAKKA, I'm outta here before I spill my guts on the screen.

>>> When deprivation eats away..

... I. Need. Sex.

Point blank, full stop.

'Nuff said.

>>> Rat-a-too-ee...

... sounds like childish swearing, doesn't it?

Life has been pretty hectic of late, what will all the running around and things to do. Thank God for the one-week-plus break from work at Spinelli's. *whew* Let's see... time to recap the last weekend, I believe.

Friday was pretty lazy until the evening when HEAL21 and MACH2 came over to chill. Managed to squeeze a few rounds of playground-like basketball at the nearby court which had me pretty winded after a while. My stamina is shot, I swear, I think that I have to really quit smoking. After the b-ball sesh, we rushed back to my crib, grabbed-slash-snuck three cans each outta my house, on the pretext of going down to the nearby petrol kiosk to score some drinks and rushed to throw up [some simple graffiti] on nearby construction fencing. HEAL's throwie was by far the best, stretching from the top of the fenceline to the ground... I got lazy and couldn't be bothered to do the same even though it was my idea. LOL. But I think I had the best colours... Chrome fill with black outline and red keyline. Heh. I think I should work on that kinda colour scheme more. Props to MAKE2 for that advice he gave so long ago when I was still starting out.

To get back on track, once the throwie sesh was done and we'd stashed the cans in the big stone jarpot at the fence [at home], we really did go to the kiosk to get drinks and some snacks. And we spent a fairly uneventful night, watching Stomp The Yard (MACH2 was busy playing on his DS while me and HEAL were watching) followed by Flight of the Phoenix, which was dead boring and really predictable. We pretty much crashed after that since it was like almost 5 in the morning. Hahahaha!

And while on the topic of movies, I went on a pseudo-date with CHOC-FUDGE*. And she was tickled pink when I gave a very li'l gift that I'd picked up from Ben & Jerry's... Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavoured lip balm.I was pretty thrilled that she liked it so much and had decided not to kill me. Hahaha! We snagged tickets for 1408 ( http://www.1408-themovie.com/ ) and it wasn't too bad, getting a scare factor [lol] of 7.5 [out of ten] from me and FUDGE. The movie was pretty good on the whole, it wasn't the kind that you could predict the story and ending.Really creepy and had a fairly good ending. Plus, it didn't hurt that FUDGE was semi-clinging, semi-snuggling [in]nto my side. *goofy grin* We had dinner at Far East where I had my first taste of hot plate beef noodles. I highly recommend it, but ask for EXTRA beef 'coz I felt that there wasn't enough meat. If you're reading this, thank you so much, FUDGE! *many hugs* Oh, and sorry for not getting hooked on that fried chicken you had me try. It was good, but not THAT good in my opinion. 20 bills say that I probably know somewhere that makes it better. Kekekeke...

Werewolf took up most of my night, right until the first rays of the morn. Goddamn, I have no freaking clu how our main session ended up turning into downtime-action-mini-LARP. I was pretty damn beat by the time we got back. But having ALL my gifts endorsed by ST Wes and gaining 3 Glory & 1 Honour kinda rocks... now to collect the other 7 and 9 respectively. *evil laugh* And the personal kill tally for the night equals two Bane spirits, a Wyrm-tainted Weaver apparition, half a swarm of Weaverlings and one vampire. Pack kill tally is all that plus a boss-level Bane glamerling/spirit and five more leeches [vampires]. And it was a pretty good kicker seeing our old historical characters from the ol' Vampire game back in the late '90s brought back to imagined [re-]life by Wes. And I think GHOUL has learnt to never ask for a Wraith encounter ever again.

Finally got to play BF2142 with Bruce and managed to rank AZHKI's account. So none of our accounts are listed as inactive so they won't be deleted by GHOUL. I rediscovered my absolute and complete [disturbing] love of explosives and demolitions in the game. BOOM! There goes your pretty face!!!

LOL. Oh, and we got to make Vanessa-dono laugh a helluva lot with all our nonsense and such. And she's such a goddess 'coz she offered to help me find scanlations of the Air Gear manga. I will have a idol sculpted in her likeness and mounted on a pedestal, placing it on top of my table-cupboard's top. I even know which sculptor I should get to make it... MumboJumbo!!! ( http://mumbojumbo,deviantart.com ) Lol!!! But I just might get it done one day, you just wait.

Which brings us to today.... Today being Monday, that is. Caught Ratatouille with TWITCH, NEZRAEL and CYANIDE [LYNX]. It wasn't that great a movie (I give it a rating of 6.5 outta ten), but it was nice to know that CYANIDE enjoyed it immensely ('coz I paid for her ticket). That was the main highlight of the day, honestly. Pretty droll, right? But it's never really dull with my bunch, so much verbal clatter was spewed, it's amazing that no one drowned in their own words!

About Ratatouille, it really only deserved a rating of 6.5. The main male protagonists (Remy the Rat and Linguini) are supposed to be French but they sound like bloody Americans [not that I have anything against Americans, some of them are pretty good friends], Colette is the only true Frenchie and I must say that I'm disappointed that she loses her tough edge & softens towards Linguini [but sappy romance is a must for Disney], the others sound like shams and it was so sugary sweet... saccharine even! The villains were too easily defeated [except for the Health Inspector, who showed up at such an opportune moment for a slapstick-like comedy]. But I should not complain overly much, since it is a show for kids and does not require a lot of brain power to understand. Overall: Enjoyable, some laughs, bring the kids but cover their eyes for the kissing scene. And, mothers, make sure that your daughters do not become inspired to speed demoness bikers! *chuckles* You have been warned...


Oh, yeah, as a sidenote, I walked and talked with CYANIDE all the way from Cathay to Somerset [which is something that we've not done for a loooooong time and hadn;t realised that I'd missed doing], where we parted ways and I carried on walking due to sheer boredom and out of the need to figure out some stuff... like what's going on between me and FUDGE, like what kinda game we're running, that kinda deal. And wondering whatever possessed me to ask her out again next Saturday?!

Ano... SUGOI, Kaze-kun! *sarcastic chuckling in the background* You are so screwed~~~...

Oh, and do me a favour, you lot, check out Exell's written/literary work: http://www.underspray.com/peaked.html : right now or soon. You won't regret it, I guarantee!

Shout outs to AMOUROUBLIE, IMAGINARIUM, GENKY, VIOLENCE22, EXELL, RAGZ and Rachel for taking the time to chat with and spend time on me.

I shall now leave you with some rather comical and deliciously corrupt lines from my conversation with EXELL:

I shall now go watch some Pr0nm if it interests me. Don't give me that look, I'm a guy and you can blame FUDGE & XM01... it's at their urging that I've picked up interest in it. They claim it's healthy. *shrug* Whatever, I just think that it's a better idea not to store so much otherwise a body might explode OR experience the embarrassing wet dreams that leaves you unconsciously creaming your boxers or wateva' you wear to sleep.

But nothing beats fresh meat. *evil laugh*

* : Sushma is [one of] my best mates' kid sister who I've basically watched grow up from the time she was five.I've been calling her Chocolate Fudge Brownie ever since she was in primary school and joined the Brownie troop. Probably explains the awkwardness and confusion in where we stand relationship-wise.

** : New ol' Cathay: It was torn down and rebuilt, and was the site of the very first movie that I ever watched in my life - when I was three, the Labyrinth. I still love that movie. *grin*

>>> The end of July...

... and I'm still almost in a sabbatical-like mode of mind as apathy begins to take root.

Well, like I said, it's somewhat the end of July, moi sitting in front of the comp', time straddling the 30th & the 31st like a 'ho getting it from her six and I'm stuck in a limbo-like state with regards to my social and artistic lives; and, to make matters worse, I just do NOT want to do anything at all. Good grief of heaven... I haven't designed anything new for ages, the only graffiti-related work I've done recently being the commissioned production at Alexandra Fire Station for their 2nd ROTA and some random sketches that do NOT deserve to be posted online. *sigh* I haven't been in contact with quite a number of friends of late and it irks me. Especially when some of them only seem to call when they need or want something from me.

But I've run into quite a number of old army buddies while wandering around the downtown areas, which is pretty good if you think about it. How often can one say that one's run into an old friend so randomly and struck up the friendship where you left off once before? Good stuff happens in strange ways. And I so thank whoever is watching over me for the really true friends that I have, no matter how remorselessly irritating some of them are.

However, I'm still reading, and I think that tomorrow I shall endeavour to return my library books, since I'm working the opening shift, and extend the loan on the graff books that i have. Perhaps I shall xerox some of the pages before I do, if I have a chance. Or I'll just skip it until later. BUt I think I'm accruing massive library fines... oh, dear, decisions, decisions. Forget it, I don't feel like going. BLEAH.

Gott en himmel! I have to be awake in five hours!!! I bid you all a _[fairly] good night and _[passably] sweet dreams!!!!!

*sprints for his room, but returns to a placid, indifferent lope after roughly 3 seconds*

>>> Karma can be such a bitch...

... and like that nut JT said: "What goes around goes around, comes around."

Speaking of Karma, it's like the wheel of time turning and catching you on its steel toe end as it revolves back to get in the arse. Case in point: my blood Twitch got this eartip piercing and it was somehow infected and swelled. Same thing happened to his eyebrow piercing. OWCH! Getting back to the point of karma tho'; I happened to sya that he wasn't built for piercings and the next thing I know, I'm discovering that my eartip piercing was also infected and not healing while hurting like the bloody dickens. But to be noted: this was a couple of weeks later. Sad, what a waste of good piercings. But it also relatively illustrates the idea or concept of Karma and, damn, can She be a bitch. I think that if I did get married, I'll name one of my children Karma. I think I should have a few friends going "OMGWTFBBQ, KAZE, R U OUT OF YOUR MIND!?". Lol. But, seriously, I think Karma would be a really nice name for a girl. I mean, I knew A TEMPERANCE when I was in high school and she was quite hot, y'know!

And, oh my god, it's been ages since I last logged an update. Amazing how much work absorbs your very being and spits you out exhausted, wrung out and socially dead. Purely amazing. Not that I don't enjoy my job, it just, well, takes a lot out of a body. At least my manager supports my external ventures into art, zen and motorcycle maintenance. Hahaha!

So much stuff has been happening of late. I've reconnected with some old friends [RACHEL, DINIE, ESTHER, DJ EZ-KILL! & LYNX among others], my sis FLA is in town for three months, met this pretty cute chick from Mumbai [Bombay, for those who don't know], hooked up with a small rap venture [KZ1, SAVVIOR & J-REEDS/EZ-KILL], grabbed an opportunity for a graffiti production from Alexandra Fire Station, have sheer loads of sketches to do up with have a bunch of ideas and concepts running around in my head at the speed of sound [sorry, MACH2, I know that you usually silent kill at the speed of sound LOL] and while having to work at Spinelli @ Harbourfront. And some other stuff which should NOT be mentioned unless I get permission first. *evil snickering* I know things that you don't know, but do you really want to know?

Anyways, I have to get going eventually as one of my bloods is coming over to borrow a set of my old army technician coveralls to use as a costume for the resurrected Werewolf: the Apocalypse LARP [Live Action Role-Play] that a friend decided to run. And I must say that it's pretty interesting, so far. If anyone is interested, just drop me a line, aiight? *shameless plugging!* C'mon, it'd be fun! 'Sides, I need more smoking khakis [ie. smoking buddies] and friends to kick back with after a session. *grin*

On a last to final note, my first tattoo will be etched upon my wonderfully dusky epidermis at the end of the month, whoohoo! FUCKING FINALLY!!! And this time, mates, I'm NOT just full of air and really am getting it. Check this link and try to figure out which part of the design is going to end up as my very first tatt :: [ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51896590/ ]. After all, I have to catch up to my li'l sister, Caity! She has like five now, and they're like almost everywhere on her body. Okay not really everywhere, but close enough. CAITLIN, PUT DOWN THE DECK, DO NOT HIT ME WITH THAT!!! *sound of a skateboard making a very violent connection with a human skull* Urk~...

LOL. Much love to my li'l sister Caitlin who's all the way over in Canada! *hugz* http://violence-22.deviantart.com
