amusement
The following things irritate me (slightly )
1. Vampire: The Masquerade. Bloodlines.
After investing a hefty sum of S$54.00 in this 'highly anticipated game of 2004' I was shocked by a few suprises. Installation time took half and hour. The questionare choose my as a malkavian (demented vampire) which took up 15 minutes (10 of which is loading time) Then, the intro-movie took another 20 minutes. Actually... my com is so frickin slow that it transforms the movie into a slide-show. Upon actually starting the game, the game engine 'errors' and exits on itself. That was the best $54/hour of my life.
2. Watching my friend. He was blasting 'Dragostea Din Tea by O-zone' on his mobile phone like an I-trip in the void the night before Human Geog paper. He then turned to me and asked if I recognised the tune... I kept quiet and smiled. He Showed me his phone display and proudly announced: "did you know that the TRUE name of Numa-Numa is this ___". I smiled quietly again as I was reading economic development notes. Unkown to him, Dragostea Din Tea is a fashion fad 9 months ago. How ironic of him to discover it now and then think that it is an indie song... oh well.
The topping to the cake was when he told me about how he heard the latest Mandarin Version of the song. How it was about cockcroaches instead and how he was so fricking pissed that they 'bastardised the song'. ___ I thought for a while and asked him:
"do you even know what the original romanian lyrics of Dragostea Din Tea means?"
He gave me a 3-sec silence, smiled and shook his head before plugging in his headphones again.
3. Watching "must stay home saturday movies on Channel 5". I watched Batman and Robin (forgive me) and suffered from a cardiac arrest from the horrible script.
Poison Ivy: "To men, I am to die for"
Posion Ivy (to mr.freeze): "I see that you got the blues"
Mr.Freeze: "Tonight, Hell Freezes Over"
Poison Ivy (to Robin): " why are you always under his wing"
oohhh... the horrible misuse of puns... and of course, there are the rubber nipples....
