Go watch ‘Salvador’. Go watch ‘Salvador’. Go watch ‘Salvador’.

Absolutely outstanding, Oliver Stone is. Absolutely outstanding, James Woods is. Absolutely outstanding, James Belushi is.

Can’t recommend it highly enough. Especially if you are American.

John Steinbeck’s ‘East of Eden’ is story-telling at its best. Great characters, great story, just great everything. So many things I love about it. Read it, please. I’m a born-again Steinbeck fan. Although I wasn’t ever really. I read ‘Of Mice and Men’ when I was about 12; I remember sobbing profusely at the end.

I used to cry a lot when I read. Pity/Lucky I don’t anymore.

All plans to celebrate the end of midterms/papers with a weekend of bad-girl partying crumbled as a 104F (40C) fever reduced me to a pathetic quivering delirious mummy-crying heap of body heat on Saturday. Patrick had to sponge me down in a tub of cold water (oh the curses I yelled out as the ice water dribbled down my back) and mop me with rubbing alcohol and a cold towel for a few hours before the temperature would fall.

Damn the flu season

As promised, some pictures from Halloween. This is so gonna slow the page down…but these are hilarious.

Natalie went as SuperWasted! She drinks! She falls! She blabbers! She’s…dadadadadada!….SuperWasted! (note the cans of beer strapped round her waist)

The other Natalie is a born-again angel. (note the shorn horns and half white wings) Her tag says WWJD–"What Would Jesus Do?…Me"

Here are the angels. (note the can of BudLight stuck on Natalie’s hat)

SuperWasted crowns me after my Jaeger shot. The least amazing outfit of the night…I am supposed to be a man…

…while my boyfriend (left…yes that is my boyfriend. Yes, it was a little disconcerting, especially with people going up to him asking "Honey, are you gay? Cos you’re stunning"…note peeking red bra with asian prints as mentioned in Oct 27 2003 post "Strange Love") is an Asian lady (we are supposed to be a Walking Stereotype). On the right is Rachel appropriately dressed and seated as a queen…

…while I inappropriately tweak her husband’s nipples.

Here’s Magpie (I steal jewelry, love) and her husband (Invisible).

That’s " ‘Ho White" ("Snow White’s brunette…but I’m ‘ho White…I’m white trash")

The Hunter hunts Superwasted…

…and is hunted by Superwasted.

Scary eyes…

Amin wields his banana against American Psycho

As the night drew on, everyone started to get superwasted. Me with surfer-half-eaten-by-a-shark Chris, Indiana Jones Pete and Amin who for some reason put a PG&E traffic cone on his head…

…finally placing Pat’s umbrella on top of the cone.

The cone-cum-umbrella combination is currently being used as a lampshade in Patrick’s room (I’m not kidding). It lights the room up in an erotic orange-red glow. Really.

Oral sex ruling vexes many – NOV 8, 2003

I say! Unite all Singapore rebels! Go down on your partners tonight…and chew gum at the same time! *Ouch*!

After watching Human Traffic, I have caught the incessant habit of yelling out "Nice one, bruvva!!!" ("Nice one, brother!!!") to anything and everything.

NICE ONE! NICE ONE BRUVVVVVVAA!!

How is it possible that Kellog is the top search result for "How to make a scorpion fall crazily in love"?

Halloween was amazing. More later. After the 8-10 page political economy paper gets written.
