We Are Scientists, really. you amaze me.

So, I was just looking through The Guardian and I was looking for interesting technology to write about for this blog and so I was browsing then I saw this article called "We Are Scientists will see you now" where We Are Scientists gave advice to like members of other bands and honestly, I have never read anything SO funny ever before. Their advice was the most ridiculous thing I have ever listened to. such nonsensical strings of words and I laughed so much and I felt that it would be too selfish to keep it to myself. And also, like I don't understand how they can be so talented in the humourific area of funnies when they make such great music and I really have been listening to their music for so long but maybe that's why that makes them eligible to actually give advice to indie rock stars. And I was so excited to read the article because there were so many advice seekers from awesometastic bands that I listen to, so here is just a typical example of what an advice session with We Are Scientists will sound like


Keith, Chris ... recently I have been getting kicked out of shops for no particular reason. I walk in, there's a chance of a purchase, yet when I show interest, I'm removed from the premises! Maybe it's my appearance that is the problem, maybe I've got some kind of "risk-to-retail" image! Is there anything at all that I can do to prevent rejection in the future?

Yes, Matt, there is. You should wear cash on a necklace. Thread a necklace with pounds 50 notes and wear that thing - flaunt it. They'll think twice before they throw you out if you're wearing what initially looks like an exaggerated ruffle collar but turns out to be three grand. Maybe throw some fivers on there too - in case you're in a Boots or a deli - the prospect of making change for a pounds 50 note can really daunt a low-price retailer.

Dear Mr Scientist. I am currently trying to coordinate my wardrobe in colours and have realised that black has many shades. How would you go about arranging this? And would you use shade coordinated boxes to store? Please help as I'm getting really distressed!
Coffin Joe, The Horrors

Black does indeed have many shades, Joe. You have your bat black, jet black, ink black, midnight black, panther black, pupil black, super black, dark black, and your clothing black. You'll find that most of your black clothes fit into the last category, "clothing black". Arrange them chronologically. Avoid boxes like the plague. Boxes are a recipe for wrinkles. If you like your clothes even a little bit, store your clothes on mannequins ... cedar mannequins.

HAHAHAHAHAH. Honestly I love them so. I still can't believe that they are capable of making me laugh so. So I went to their website where they have this advice column where they give advice to seeking fans by responding with helpful and thoughtful words.

and here are some of the examples of the questions and answers

query: im going to see you fine gentlemen on april 10th and i was just wondering if theres anything i should do in order to get the most out of my we are scientists experience??

A few things that can’t hurt:

- Melt your mind beforehand: Come to the show your mind already molten, your intentions shattered, your inclinations and desires bone-broken and reduced to mush.
- Eat a good meal that evening: The wrong way to watch We Are Scientists — the very exact wrong way — is tummy a’rumble.
- Bring your own hair: We don’t provide hair.
- Above all come to the show with an open mind and a sincere desire to have a great time because we are going to bring the rock and make you feel great about yourself and your friends and parents and life and the fact that your dog got lured by the neighborhood perv into a thresher where he got flung — thousands of strands of him, like 1500 pieces of wet uncooked bacon — all over the driveway! Which you later had to clean up cuz your parents were on vacay.

query: What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?

A muffin has a fish center. A cupcake has icing on top, and has a center of pork or boar. Muffins originated in France and are still considered a top-shelf delicacy in that country; meanwhile, Italians, who invented cupcakes, regard them as acceptable nourishment only for prisoners and cattle.

so, since I found out about their website through the Internet, I just feel like we should have a moment of silence to celebrate the greatness of the Internet. HALLELUJAH.

thank you. and no, that was not too long.

Always On My Mind

Time for a music video update.
For our music video, we have finally chosen a song and its "Always On My Mind" by Phantom Planet and it took us a whole hour and a half just to choose the song. but we finally chose it.

We actually wanted to choose "Open Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol and it's such a nice sad song and we thought it would be a really touching video but we really wanted a hospital scene where there would be a girl in a coma and there was a boy like crying and everything but we couldn't really get a hospital room so we decided to scrap that idea and then we had to choose another song and we disagreed a lot but in the end we managed to pick a song by writing all the possible songs on pieces of paper and then picking one randomly.

So we got "Always on Your Mind" and we've started shooting some scenes already but I think we didnt really think about it properly before we started shooting so we are going to have to shoot those scenes again. So we're going to do it after school today then we are going to edit the video tomorrow before class then we have to submit our video during class. So we are, as always, press for time. And hopefully we can actually make it.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

There's this show on TV called "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" where they are given questions from the 1st to 5th grade and for every question that they get right, they get money and if they answer all the questions then they will get a million dollars but if they don't then they have to look at the camera and say "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" and there's this question about 4th grade spelling or something and then the lady contestant couldn't answer it and then she said "who invented spellcheck?" and then I realised that like when I type the wrong spelling of the word and I use the spellcheck application, I actually don't learn the right spelling of the word and the next time I want to use the word, I still use the wrong spelling and use the spellcheck application again.

So, maybe technology isn't all that good. Especially in the spelling area.

Not-so Beautiful Letdown

People of the world now depend a lot on technology and the convenience that it brings to us but just recently, I have been faced with mucho problems when it came to technology and that is very frustrating I feel especially since we expect machines and technology not to be consistently inconsistent.

So, I watch The Office a lot right and I watch it online because on TV, they're a whole season slower. And like a 20 minute episode would usually take about an hour to load. And that is actually okay because I load like 3 episodes at once and then while I do my own work, it can load by its own business. And that is fine with me. But recently, one episode is taking more than 4 hours to load and I have been very sad and angry about it.

And it rained a couple of days ago and I really wanted to watch TV but then it didnt work because of the rain and there wasn't any signal or something like that and I was so so upset about it.

And just yesterday, my ipod froze and it wasn't the first time it happened so I was very upset about it and I really wondered if like it would spoil or die or something like that.

So, I just guess that maybe we have been so dependent on technology and I think it really does hit us hard when they let us down. Like imagine if every technological item did not work. Like the computer or the cars or the ipods or the tvs of the world decided to die. What would we do? What would I do? I'm more worried about that question.

Wake The Sun

so anyways, i've been thinking quite a bit about our new project of making a music video and my group is Catherine and Ivone. and I'm really excited about making this music video but I really want to make sure that the song that we use is not a cheesy and not nice song. And I think that might be actually quite hard because I am so passionate about the music that I listen to so I am very opinionated on the subject and I really want to choose such a great song for the music video. and then I really do hope that WE are able to come to a compromise to choose a wonderful song. beacuse Ivone wants to use Cassie and i think i rather eat disgusting black pepper than actually make a music video on a cassie song. ugh. (I do hate black pepper or white pepper or any kind of pepper a lot, actually. and cassie's music also.)

so i'm thinking of what songs that i actually want to make a music video of and there's just so many to think of because i really want to choose like Brit Rock because that is always good and awesome and I was thinking of maybe choosing "She Moves in Her Own Way" by The Kooks of "Flathead" by The Fratellis or "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn and John.

but then i really want to play really good rock songs like "Believe" by The Bravery or The Shore or The Strokes.

but then i also want to play really good alternative bands like motion city soundtrack or we the kings or over it or the fold (i love the fold so much) so many more.

but then i really want to play songs from really good indie singers like jason collett or jason reeves.

but then i want to play such good classic rock like acdc or the beatles or the ramones.

and then part of me also want to play like really good sad rock songs like breathe me by sia or near to you by a fine frenzy or imogen heap or something

OHMYGOODNES!. how am i ever going to choose? i think i shall start now.

oh yes, just so you know. the title of my podcast is the name of the matches newest single off their newest album "a band in hope" and if you are going to listen to it, i think you should wear socks because they will get blown away. yappers. i'm not even kidding. i love that song mucho.

Goodbye, unawsomeness. FINALLY!

Kristy is gone finally! her and all of her unawesomeness has left the show. thank goodness.

so, i really like to watch American idol and i watch it every week and i really have my opinions and my favourites and everything. and you know, being not American and not being able to vote for my favourites but only being capable of watching what Americans think of the contestants and then hopefully get rid of the people who actually deserve to go. because, Danny went off so early and i loved him so and he was just so much better than other people who got to stay longer than him so that wasn't fair in any way.

and just last week, Michael johns went home. MICHAEL JOHNS!!!! he is so AWESOME!! and i can't believe that Kristy stayed and he went home and i just didn't understand it at all and it was probably the saddest day of American idol, after the exiting of lovely homeless Josiah. i mean like Kristy has been in the bottom two so many times and I honestly can't believe that she stayed longer than Michael Johns. that was crazy. and he was so talented, and he was such a rock star and she was just the most boringest person in the world and she held her mike so retardedly when she sang. and i still don't understand how i can pass through another Wednesday without Michael johns singing beautiful music to me. so i was very pissed with the American people who did not vote for the right people.

but, i mean the whole system of voting for your favourites is pretty cool, i guess. if you're American because there's such a connection between the contestants of the show and you as an audience because you get to pick your favourites and then actually have a say on their fate in the competition. so, you know, such technology actually develops such relationship which would not have prevailed should the system did not exist.

but, come on America! Michael Johns? what's wrong with your muddled heads?

i think that is my cue to cry.

also, that is a video of Michael Johns' PHENOMENAL performance of Dolly Parton's classic, it's all wrong but it's alright. i do believe there were about 50 billion mimsy faces on the day he got eliminated, mine included.

My Adventures in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is one of my ultimate favourite books of all time. i just love the way lewis carroll plays with all the words and the book is just filled with so much nonsense and i really do love it so. everytime i read the book, i laugh so much. for seriously.

so i went online and then i found this alice in the wonderland podcast by storynory and then i got it. and then i put them in my ipod then i off the lights in my room and lay down in my bed and listened to four chapters of alice in the wonderland. and it was pretty cool but, being such an avid reader, i really feel that reading is much nicer. i know like book podcasts are becoming really popular now but i really do not enjoy listening to it as much as actually reading a book. and especially in alice in the wonderland when the book is filled with lots of words which sounds the same but are spelled differently and then lewis carroll plays a lot with those kinds of words and you don't really get the joke when the lady is reading it to you on the podcast.

but, you know, maybe book podcasts will be more convenient to other people like for the people who don't have the time to read or the illiterate people or who don't enjoy reading much. but, i really don't like it too much. yeah. it spoils the fun of reading, i think.

Camera video?

So in comtech we now have to make a 15 seconds video which illustrates what we think about the images of this particular song "in the dark" and i used to have a proper video camera like those gadgets which are made to actually take videos but then my silly sister spoiled it. and now all i have is a camera. and i was like thinking that i have to take videos with a camera and it wouldn't turn out very good but then i remembered that before kevjumba got himself a macbok for his christmas present, he used a digital camera to record his videos. and since the firsts few videos of his were, in my opinion, the funniest, i think that using a camera to record videos wouldn't be too bad anyways and if it was good enough to make kevjumba more famous than a normal person, i do believe that it would be good enough for me.

Laptop me

My sister just got a new laptop and it's a toshiba and that's just not fair because i didnt get one and i only have like a computer in my room but you can't really bring you computer around and there's not a lot of space in my computer or its just that i really have a lot of stuff. but its okay. it has served me well but i really do want a laptop and when i asked my mum she wasn't too thrilled about it but i think it's a big maybe.

so i've been doing my research but there's just so many laptop brands that i honestly have no idea which one to choose from but i really don't want to have like a really expensive one like as long as its a nice looking laptop, that will be fine. like really seriously.

and i asked my dad about it and he gave me such a long explananation about the weight and the screen size of laptops and much other information that i really do not find interesting or relevant at all.

i don't mind even jsut getting the same laptop as my sister did because it's nice. i'll just make it my own like draw on it or smthing. just as long as its a reasonable laptop. i shall be happy. yeth.

Youtubers, take notice

a lot of people i know go to youtube and that's cool because youtube has many awesometastic things which are available for less awesometastic people to watch but it just seems like that everytime someone talks about youtbe and then i ask if they know like kevjumba or smosh or happyslip or lisanova and stuff and they're just like "no" and i really wanna just smack their nose or something like that because those people honestly are the funniest people over there and i always wonder just what they do when they actually go to youtube and stuff because whatever it is that they do, it is not as awesome as the kevjumbas and the smoshes.

such nonsensical things that are happening. tsk tsk.

oh right, i would just like to say that i am in class now and jowee is playing mae and the red jumpsuit apparatus so i would like to send a hi-five. yappers. thank you for filling my ears with beautiful sounds.

Wife takes divorce drama online

I read online on how this former actress and playright lady, who was married to a rich man who responsible for some broadway organisation, released this video on youtube to humiliate her other side. In her video, she rants about the bad and evil members of her in-laws and embarrasing moments of their intimate and private life with the goal to humiliate the other party.

her video has about 150,000 hits by far and its just kinda sad really. and embarrasing also. but maybe she's just grieving over the end of hermarriage.

but i would just like her to know that grief isint always wrong. there's such things as good grief. just as charlie brown.

Guitar Hero

I have a guitar at home and i'm okay on it. like i don't take classes so i try to learn myself and go online and like find tabs which i do not know how to read per se and learn how to play them myself. and i get along with it pretty well because its fine and all but i really wanna play guitar hero because i reallyfeel that if i play guitar hero, my guitar un-heroness skill will improve and then i can play the real guitar really well and i really do want to improve. but i checked online and it cost about RM 300 for the programme and that might be spent on nicer clothes.

so that is the end of my guitar hero dreams.

Go Dark

quite some time ago, i put up a post on saving electricity through search engines and i reccommended people to use Blackle but then someone replied and asked me to use Darkoogle which was better because it had cached pages and blackle didnt but then Darkoogle became unavailable so now i use GoDark and it stands for Google Dark, which is actually quite cool. it's like go green but go dark. there's images and everything. and it's much better than both blackle and darkoogle. yessum.

so, here's the link
