THE BEATLES

IS SINGING OUT AN ORDER

OBEY, PUNY HUMAN

HeÂ’s a real Big Mac man
Sitting in his little van
Wishing for some food to eat at night
I hope they had some good time
They seem to have, they seem quite fine
And this all seems JUST SO FUCKING RIGHT

GUYS THIS IS MADE OF AWESOMEGENIUSALMIGHTY, KITTENS, SWEETNESS AND RAINBOWS

AND DID I ALREADY MENTION THE BEATLES?

BEAUTIFUL SINGING

AND BEATLES TRIBUTES

(AND MCDONALDS, WHICH I QUITE HATE, BUT THIS MAKES UP FOR IT BECAUSE ITÂ’S THE BLOODY BEATLES)

Google has once again made something quite interesting and quite useful. Searching, surfing, browsing and getting directions aside you can now VISIT AN ART GALLERY IN AMAZING HIGHER-THAN-HIGH DEFINITION!!!

http://www.googleartproject.com/

I most wholeheartedly support this. I enjoy watching these fantastic pieces of art and admiring the mere QUANTITY of stuff. I can now do it for free, without ever leaving my room and I can yell out my opinions. (I think IÂ’ll grow roots if I sit in this chair for much longer, by the wayÂ…)

I also like to zoom up peoplesÂ’ noses to see if realist painters were realistic enough and remembered to paint nose-hairs. :D


In addition, I bring thee links of differing variety.

Well that was informational.

So just a few moments ago I went and booked myself a ticket to the theatre.

http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/62808/productions/frankenstein.html

People over on Tumblr have been yelling about this production of Frankenstein for some time (mainly because it's got Benedict Cumberbatch in it) and now I've yielded.

At first I thought it was not to be. National Theatre is in England and I'm stuck here. However, I went to see the play's homepage. "Audiences in cinemas will have the chance to see..." it said. I stared. Then found this:

See where them marks stand? SEE? :D

So I went and booked a ticket. Thank you, globalisation.

Also, this.

YEEAAAAAAAHHHHH oh all right I'll shut up.

I've just watched all three seasons of Black Books in some 12 hours because my mom is away and I had a boring Friday night. I ate and had a shower and drank a pot of coffee and...

Watched all of them because they were BLOODY BRILLIANT!

Books! Wine! Quirkiness! Bill Bailey! Books! Sardonic humour! Wine! Dylan Moran and his Irish accent! Alcohol! Books! Silliness! Theme music! British comedy! Wine! Books!

I also spotted Martin Freeman, Omid Djalili, Rob Brydon, Johnny Vegas and Simon Pegg. :D I am ridiculously happy and not even drunk and it's half past two in the morning and I haven't done the dishes as I should have.

Because I fucking love this.


Ei mutta hetkinen...

http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirjava_joukko

Which makes me "like, cool".

http://www.youtube.com/user/charlieissocoollike

I have now seen all videos of charlieissocoollike in a row, pretty much. At least all the available ones. I have yet to go through the Truth or Fail videos, which seem Quite Interesting given they're laden with information and are interactive. I'll have a go when I have the time.

(And that video about Tumblr... Yes, I've seen the pictures. I rather like them popping up on my dashboard.)

Also, about every five minutes I either went "CHARLIE Y U SO SWEET?" or "Charlie, you're, like, so cool."

So yes, I did enjoy my vlog-watching experience. Thank you, Charlie, for being mostly utterly adorable and awkward. Makes me feel right at home. (Where I, as a matter of fact, am, but let's not go into that.)





Because this amuses me greatly.

Now this isn't nice at all, Canada. The little bit I'd heard about your nice, quiet, Northern country was rather good and positive, but this...

Who the fuck in their right mind would come up with this kind of imponderable arse-gravy?

http://www.broadbandreports.com/shownews/Canadians-Meet-Your-New-Confusing-And-Overpriced-Broadband-112511

I don't feel like this is even real, but it seems so. Also, there was a piece of news about a man who had his server hacked and had to pay thousands of (Canadian) dollars as fee. What? Do people now need to insure their Internets? What? WHAT?!

I don't want to talk about this any more, I just hope for the sake of Canadian freedom (which has nothing to do with me, but the subject is close to my heart, so...) that the twazzocks, nitwits, pea-brains, stinkers, planks, blighters, geezers and eggheaded half-wits (I just wanted to use my collected list of Insults-in-English which I have collected all by myself) will come to their nonexistent senses and do something more useful with their need for money.

(lookit an angry wall of text just above...)

Reputin tässä äsken ajokokeeni. Nyt sattuu.

Pelotti, mutta tyynesti yritin ajella. Sitten kun lopulta päästiin takasin pihaan ja valvoja käski peruuttaa ruutuun, joku täti peruutti päälle. Takaovessa on nyt kolhu. Ei ollut meidän syy, mutta ilmesesti mä olin silloin vastuussa ajosta, mutta poissaoleva opettaja autosta, joten... En tiedä. En joudu sitä kuitenkaan maksamaan, vakuutus korvaa. "Olin lähdössä peruuttamaan, enkä lainkaan ajatellut, että takana voisi olla joku", sanoi täti. NO TOTTA HELVETISSÄ AUTON TAKANA VOI OLLA JOKU, JOS OLLAAN RUUHKAISEN KATSASTUSHUOLTAMON PIHALLA!

Pääsen sitten parin viikon päästä UUDESTAAN JEE!!! Pitää ottaa neljä lisätuntia (4 x 31€ + 90€) ja maksaa uudelleen koemaksu. Pitää maksaa ilmesesti itse, äidillä ei oo rahaa edes käydä kaupassa nykyään.

Virheet oli kaistan vaihtaminen ryhmitysalueella, jalankulkijoiden riittämätön huomiointi ja ajautuminen vasemmalle kaistalla. Tädin peruutusta ei laskettu minun viaksi, mikä on sinänsä varsin onnellista.

This is what I'd been telling you all along.

Oh, South Korea, why are your cable channel personnel such slashers?The genre is crime, not bloody romance (although the pages I tend to visit would suggest the former...).

I kind of enjoy this, actually.

IF YOU CAN CORRECTLY PRONOUNCE EVERY WORD IN THIS POEM, YOU WILL BE SPEAKING ENGLISH BETTER THAN 90% OF THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS IN THE WORLD. AFTER TRYING THE VERSES, A FRENCHMAN SAID HE’D PREFER SIX MONTHS OF HARD LABOUR TO READING SIX LINES ALOUD. TRY THEM YOURSELF.

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!!!
