Sometimes, the pace is insane. Everything flies by in a blur, there’s not a moment to stop and smell the flowers, and decisions and actions seem to be made by reflex, without a pause to think of the consequences. You race through each day, hand to mouth, and god knows why, because we all know what’s at the finish line.

Then, there are times when life slows down to a leisurely pace, and the minutes seem like minutes, the hours like hours, and everything is as it should be. You can mull over the big things, sweat the small things, and stop and smell the flowers (or whatever else you fancy sniffing).

I like those times.

Or something like it?

Malaysian Bloggers have caused a ruckus once again thanks to this little gem of news.

I am just eager to see who gets carted off for doing this first. And to see what despicable tools of sedition the police cart off with them (previous arrests have seen the confiscation of monitors, keyboards and mice, because we all know how much data they store, right?).

I think the crux of the issue here is not one of disrespect for the country, for the flag, or for it’s people, but rather, it is meant to be a protest against the disrespect shown by certain people towards the country and it’s people, by those who should be managing them fairly and with honour (which I looked up, and has been removed from the Malaysian dictionary).

But hey, what do I know.
I’m a blogger. I must be EVIL.

The diet coke of evil?

It’s odd that even I’m more interested in what’s going on over there… at least people’s votes actually count.

Or rather, they actually ARE counted. Instead of being incinerated if they’re wrong!

Some campaignin’ anyone?

It has been a long week, although for the first time in ages, the mornings have flown by (thanks to a virtual new team member). This week we covered everything from a strange satirical school, to roadblocks, to domestic robots. All in all, not a bad week’s work.

Of course, when your mornings are so much fun, everything else pales in comparison. And that would go some way towards explaining what I’m doing up this early on a Saturday. And no, it’s not cause I haven’t been to bed yet!

And in honour of the Queen, I have decided to leak the inspiration for her voice.

Enjoy, possums!

Someone I haven’t seen for ages asked me if I’ve been working out last night (and said I was looking good). This amazing ego boost required no cash transaction, threats, or otherwise coercive actions, which was awesome.

Yes, actually, I have been working out.

And the secret?

It’s the Force!

The farce is strong with this one.

Recently, I’ve been drawn into the same discussion over and over again - do people from different cultures think and react to things differently on a fundamentally basic level due to genetic intelligence, or is everything just a relative reaction based on experience and exposure? I’m leaning towards the latter, but there are situations where the differences in thought between people are just so amazingly glaring (and occasionally, one-sided) that I’m led to wonder if I’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.

Luckily, regardless of all that, we can still laugh ourselves sick at stereotypes, and, increasingly these days, that’s ok! Bigotry 1, PC 0!

In other news, the brand new edition of Warhammer 40K fell into my greedy, galaxy-domination-hungry hands today, and there’s also good news for all fans of Diablo. Hurrah!

Beware the invasion by asians of odd persuasion.

But obviously, I’m no Nostradamus, because the rally that happened today appears to have gone smoothly, which means we’ve not gone into national lock down, or been forced to stay put in our houses while military patrol the streets and shoot anyone who Big Brother deems a political dissident. Which means I still have to go to work tomorrow.

Bum.

Which is the word, because the closest the crowds came to revolting was when someone decided to moon the audience during a song. Maybe they thought they saw the face of a certain infamous politician’s wife… but then again, I doubt anyone’s ass could be that hideous…

Instead of that band, they should have gotten this guy, because he’s AWESOME

So, unless something major goes down tonight, looks like it’s work tomorrow. Where’s the angry mob when you need it?

Peasants - Revolt!!!

Say what you want about the Japanese, they know how to do some amazing stuff.

We’ll overlook the panty vending machines and other such perversions.

Also, I can’t shake this uncontrollable desire to roll around on the rug all day. Beauty and the Beast the Musical rocked so much, I’m watching it again tonight.

Be my guest…

America votes soon.




Unfortunately, not for either of these two. Still, at least American politics isn’t as much of a pain in the ass as Malaysian politics.

Ouch!
WillQ.

It’s a secret. But I’ll be at the launch tomorrow. Sadly, my phone doesn’t help me get dressed in sheer black vinyl everyday, so I think it’s time to change…

Shhhhhhh.
