Song lyrics gone wrong

December 6, 2010

I realised today that although I think I know the words to a song, I often times have no idea what’s being said. So when I sing those parts aloud, I sound like a complete jackass. Here are a few examples:

Idioteque - Radiohead

Another Brick in the Wall (Part II) - Pink Floyd

Pump It - Black Eyed Peas

Love the Way You Lie - Eminem feat. Rihanna

Gimme the Light - Sean Paul

EDIT: I only recently found out that I was incorrect by singing “I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, singin’ ayyyy-o, Galileo!” (Dynamite – Taio Cruz) I mean, I knew it didn’t make sense, but eventually I just accepted the fact that perhaps pop/R&B artists were starting to appreciate famous astronomers.

Marketing papers suck

December 3, 2010

So I have like, a kajillion word paper to write for my services marketing class, and it’s draining me to the point of insanity. My group members and I worked on it for legit seven hours today and we’re still not done.

Due to the time-sensitive nature of this report, I’m a little overwhelmed with all the brain activities taking place inside my head. Because it’s due on Wednesday. And we still need to write an executive summary, get it approved and signed by Santa Claus, add three drops of llama blood on the cover page, and write the part about service quality and delivery. Therefore, don’t be expecting the usual profound, thought-provoking, beautifully eloquent posts that I normally write. Because you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment. Instead, you can probably expect things like this:

And maybe I’ll throw in a few animals as well:

Random search-stats

December 2, 2010

Lately, my search engine stats have been a little bit weird (click to enlarge):First of all,  I don’t think I’ve ever used Arabic on my blog, so I don’t know why that would show up. Secondly, Down Syndrome and midget giraffes are far sicker than anything I could ever come up with. Because the only animal with Down Syndrome on my site is a dolphin, and a midget giraffe seems like an oxymoron. The whole thing about a shark and a dolphin getting it on together makes me shudder. And snakes don’t have asses.

Glad to know that my blog generates so much useful traffic. Hooray!

Boring times call for boring measures

December 2, 2010

Here’s how useless productive my day was:

First, I went to uni. Our lecturer called someone a lambastard, which I interpreted to mean

After a couple Google searches, however, I managed to figure out that the term used was “lambasted,” which means, “beaten with a cane.” I forgot the context, so I can’t really explain why this word was ever be uttered in my Services Marketing class.

Another thing I did today was set up a twitter account! Although I’m not quite sure why. I don’t see the point of having twitter, since you can update your statuses on facebook just as easily. But all the celebrities have twitter, and I’m almost famous, so I felt starting an account was in good order. @onamatopoeia

Let’s see, what else did I get up to? I emailed Chris from Mark Doesn’t Understand Animals because he’s cool and his comics make me giggle. I also fed the tortoises. Oh, and I got the rainbow pinwheel of death like all day today, so tomorrow I’m going to update my external hard drive and delete all kindsa shit from my laptop. I think I only have like 10 GB of space left. Damn you, iPhoto and iTunes!

On a completely unrelated note, here’s a picture of a monkey.

That is all.
