ALL HAIL THE GREEN QUEEN OF MONG!Or else she will affectionately headbutt you 01 settembre MWAKA MWAKA!Can Shakira get any more amazing?
The answer is yes, yes she can.
After getting bored of the "Hips don't Lie" video (yes it is possible to experience overkill, even with Shakira..) and then watching a rather fantastic little documentary clip on YouTube about the making of the "Don't Bother" video I decided to look up some live videos.
Major disappointment...the beauty just can't sing live! Ok, no-one can be as good live as Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation but apart from the choruses she hardly hit a single note properly! Same as Gwen Stefani in a live performance of "What You Waiting For"... she only managed to do the tick-tocks and the "Gooooo!"!
I feel very disillusioned.
But then, its not going to stop me dancing to it with Dan every Thursday :)
31 agosto The wonders of scienceWhile sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. Try again and see if you can keep it clockwise... Mwhahaha you were outsmarted by your own right foot! Loser.
Sitting on death rowDan and Amy have resits tomorrow for stats so I just wanted to say...
Good Luck guys!!
You'll do fine. Just think this time tomorrow we'll have no statistics ever again. Woooo! And thankyou Dan for hopefully getting us something random for flat parties at Ikea today! Hope Jugs and I can make your party next week  Why Tank Girl rocks(click on links for images)
It always amazes me how few people around my age have heard of Tank Girl. Friends and people I know aged 25-30 have invariably at least heard of her, with some having seen the movie and a few having read the comics.
Fair enough, I hadn't heard of her until a few months ago (that fateful night in Sam and Gareths hotel room watching it with them and Kay)...but thats my point, I should have heard of her years ago! Hence my mission to educate people into at least knowing how amazingly fantastic she is. Wow.
Some background information about Tank Girl can be found here.
As most of my friends know, Tank Girl is my idol. Why? She has attitude, the most incredible dress sense and even kissed Jet Girl (WOAH) in the movie. She just doesn't give a $hit about anything, shes mouthy & holds her own and does exactly what she wants to do. She different yet still hot, and knows how to get what she wants.
Plus she has a tank and a kangaroo boyfriend called Booga!
The movie (1995) turned out to be a flop and since then Tank Girl has been forgotten. Memorabillia (original anyway) has become rare and therefore expensive. Fair enough the film isn't as incredible as the comics but in my opinion its immensely cool (not to mention the soundtrack featuring people like Bjork, Portishead, Bush, l7..) ! She seems to have gained cult status (mainly with geeks, comic book freaks, lesbian community, weirdos...you know the drill) and research on the internet seems to show a slowly growing new/revived fan base emerging. Long may it continue!
PS fellow geeks reading this; for tank girl stuff the best place to try really is ebay. I've seen a couple of flags on there, trading cards, comics, DVD/VHS of the movie, badges, lighters/tins... unfortunately most of it is newly produced stuff but its still cool!
Long live Tank Girl! 29 agosto Why Amy should live in Chelmsford next yearFirst let me sell you the idea from an academic point of view..
Third year = Dissertations. What could be better for your studies than living right near the uni library?
Third year = 100% of our marks count towards our final grade. Therefore you should probably turn up every day - and if your living in Chelms it means a) No commuting to uni every day b) LAY INS!
Right, now the boring bit out of the way...
The REAL reasons you should come live with us;
And if you wanted to see your parents or go back to work you know how close and easy it is!! Come on girl, live it up. We can make pancakes! So many reasons to be happy :)Firstly, Tunisia is all booked up :D We go last week of January and can't wait! Hurrah for holidays! Video of the hotel can be found here .... looks rather yummy to me. *does the celebration dance of joyous mustard*
Secondly, its sunny again today! I have the house to myself and can just relax and enjoy nothing-ness...mmmmm.
Then our timetables for next semester have come out and I only have a two day week! FIVE DAY WEEKEND FOR ME! Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha! :D
I've made star charts for Dan, Amy and me for how often we turn up to lectures...Dan has a five day week so if he wins I'll be impressed (so impressed that the word needs to be underlined). Technically I should win as I live right next to uni and only have to be in two days, whereas Amy has changed her timetable to be the same as mine but she has to commute everyday from Ipswich. Hmm. Bet Amy will win. Amy and Dan if you read this you have to think about a prize for each month you win! I want a My Little Pony. Because they rock.
Fourth reason to be happy, I'm back in contact with a friend from high school - who is doing really well and now has a little boy who is almost two!
Fifth.... My life is now complete. I own a bag made entirely out of zips.
But (sorry to put a downer on things) one reason to not be happy...
Vagabonds. Used to go there all the time...perfect for meeting friends, really chilled out and fantabulous...ITS NOW CHANGED INTO SOME PLACE CALLED "CENTRAL CANTEEN!" With different staff! And no independant artwork for sale on the walls! And....no. smoking. section.... !!! Kayleigh and I took it for a test drive...their paninis are good but its just not Vagabonds :( 26 agosto Uber-Nice PolicyAh Yes...almost forgot to mention my latest brain-child of an idea in the entry just now..
THE UBER NICE POLICY!!!
And it works!
A way to handle people that you don't like especially, or those that don't like you.
All it involves is being ridiculously nice. Nothing else.
BUT IT WORKS ON SO MANY LEVELS *manic laughter*
Firstly, lets take the first example. Someone who you often see out and about who usually ends up with your group of friends for whatever reason. They always seem to look down on you and manage to slip in snidey little comments.
Solution: BE UBER NICE!
Think about it.
Them: "I once saw a hobo wearing a coat very similar to yours"
You: "Really? Thats cool, wear did you see them? I'd be interested to know if its the same one. Its nice to see that even those of no fixed abode are able to afford to keep up with my trampy fashions. I must say, those are lovely shoes you have, they really go with your outfit"
Before they can say anything else nasty
You: "So how have you been lately? Still with your boyfriend? He seems a really nice guy"
Note how a) Their underhand comment isn't taken as an insult but rather an interesting point and b) how it becomes an opportunity to be UBER NICE and compliment them twice.
They also end up feeling stupid because their rather crappy attempt at being mean had absolutely no effect. You feel better cos you've got the upper hand because you don't give a $hit what they say about you and can still be nice to them.
Second example...someone that generally gets on your nerves for whatever reason. Feeling slightly irritated? Force yourself to be UBER NICE! Your concentrating so much on being nice that you forget to be irritated. You can even end up convincing yourself that you positively like that person.
GO UBER NICE POLICY!!!
