mooney rhymes with looney

Spider-man (on moon knight's mental state) "mooney rhymes with looney"

i must be a bit looney and fresh out of ideas, because i seriously can't believe i'm going to use war trivia to justify semantics and colloquial language. i am really out of ideas.

and my parents are back from Timor Leste. wanted to go also, but school got exams after hols...that sucks (having exams just after hols, and missing a trip overseas)

i also note that my tagboard has been 'hijacked' by crazy advertisers, who (like those bank pple who call me to advertise about a credit card) are wasting their time. seriously, i don't even spurge on anything (yet) so i don't really need either.

maybe after exams i might actually have something to spend money on. but up to then, technology is moving really slowly, not many great games, firefox got a new update which is great (not that it really needed one, but now it looks and works better than the previous version, and the previous one was great), i'm indulging in comics like ultimate spider-man again (which is fun). maybe after exams i go find the second-hand bookstore and spurge on foxtrots comics!

i miss the old days, i mean when i was still in primary school. a bit easier, lots of mistakes i could have altered, 'change' the future. but there is that egging voice at the back of my mind (its the good voice) that tells me to see the present and what i would lose if i changed or remained in the past. maybe i like/hate the present, its a complex relationship.

on the lighter side, i just saw a clip of Avenue Q on the Royal Variety Performance. Made my laugh my head off, how many pple in Singapore watch Muppets and Sesame Street and then Avenue Q? i for one never managed to actually watched the Muppets, but i'm a fan of Jim Henson and Kermit the frog and many sesame street muppets.cookie monster is my eating guru, big bird and snufflenuapagus(can't spell name, he's the mammoth), grover is like the klutz big hearted person, and elmo is the eternally young child. Avenue Q is like Sesame Street for Adults. this particular clip has one really funny aspect, the puppets actually swear IN FRONT OF THE QUEEN (censored in the clip, though largely audible)!!! (one of the puppets later appears to actually address that fact). (another clip from their appearance in a charity show for children has them toning down the vulgarity, from f*** to s***, again censored on the clip)

so, i'm off going to find a metal iron tortoise and a potato masher that has more in common with a pomegranate that is made of metal seeds.


p.s. in case that was too abstract, i was referring to a tank and the kind of grenades used by Germans during WWII (the shaft/stick grenade). a grenade derives its name from the French word for pomegranate.
