Rock and roll wisdom

Rock and roll wisdom
Splattered on the walls of
My misanthropic bubble

Flowing down to the bottom
Pooling ‘round my ankles
Soaking my new shoes

Ooze between my toes
Creep back up my body
Flow through the cracks on my skin

So I watch what I can’t stop
This recycled wisdom
Crawl up to my head

Where it first came from
Unfiltered by its age
Or hard won lessons.

I should be asleep right now

For a quick update: there are none. Life's been pretty much the same. There might be a post coming soon about my Ramadhan and Eid. But then again, there might not. There might also be a post on the brand new season of Supernatural. Or not.
Basically, this holiday, I aim to forget everything I should remember. My academic life, as well as any activity that involves more mental effort than deciding whether the table cloth matches everything else, have been gleefully kicked to the backseat. Next week reality will splash a couple buckets of cold water on me, but right now I don't care. I just want to eat kuih raya and play with my hair. I know that sounds shallow but I do not care. Not right now anyway.

Jalan-jalan

With the current atmosphere around campus generously sprinkled with mid-term meltdowns and assignment accidents, needless to say I've got some steam to blow off. I want to go out, around next week or so. But WHERE? I'm bored of KLCC and MidValley and it's high time for me to go explore new grounds.

I am not KL-wise so I have no idea where to head next. I need suggestions of places that facilitate a low-budget mini shopping spree and are easily accessible through public transport. Help.

Fences

We stand separate
On either side of
A fence of mirrors

I think I know you
You think you know me
So well

But all we see
Is me, thinking,
“That’s you”

And we lose sight
Of you and me
Alike

But we are not alike.

Another reason I shouldn't be allowed to touch math with a 10 foot pole

Because it leads to very, very, very depressing realizations. I have recently discovered that in order to undo the MASSIVE damage I did to my grades during the short semester, I need to score at least a 3.9 for each subject I'm taking this semester :-/

doom.

I got spoilers for Supernatural Season 5 :(

I am so absolutely, totally, completely anti-spoiler, that sometimes I even refuse to watch episode promos. I just feel that the emotional experience of watching an episode (or even an entire season) for the first time and not having a clue of what's going to happen next is vitally enhances my enjoyment of the show. So, I don't read casting news. I don't read interviews during hellatus (that's hiatus, to the uninformed. But hiatus is hellish. So it's hellatus, see?). I don't even look at any kind of news. Nothing. Which sucks ass because it means I have to rely only on rehashing the last four seasons to survive hellatus.

I have, however, been indulging in all the reports that have come in from Comic-con. Yes, I'm with the bunch of people out there in fandom-land who sit around moaning about how we'll always be too broke or live too far away to go to these things, and wait at home with barely contained excitement for the latest reports, videos, interview transcripts etc. And then, as they begin to trickle in we lap them up and devour them whole and oooppsss!!! I accidentally caught a spoiler. For me it's about as bad as getting a fishbone stuck in your throat while you're enjoying your fish dinner. Actually, so far I've gotten about three or four rather major bits of information that I'd rather not know. By accident. So now I have to let off on all the Comic-con news. Tragic.

Resolution broken

I bought two books last Monday, which was the first day of the new semester. No, I don't absolutely need them, so that counts as a broken resolution. But they were on discount, so that's okay right? Right? I don't feel guilty at all..seriously. Both books are from IIU publications.

1. An Islamic Interpretation of the Tragic Hero in Shakespearean Tragedies (Nor Faridah Abdul Manaf)
2. Creative Thinking: An Islamic Perspective (Jamal Badi, Mustapha Tajdin)
