I'm sitting here in school, listening to someone else's ipod as it blasts very loudly from their ears. She likes 80s rock and pop. I'm so tempted to say to her, can you skip to the next song, I don't like chicago. Come on, an ipod is meant to be your own personal music headspace, not imposed on others like inane radio chatter.
This brought back waves of nostalgia, I have faint memories of watching this again and again on tape as a kid. It was a favorite, next to star wars episode 4. The cheesiness of the plot was lost on me then (Ghettoman - In the ghetto, we don’t say ‘SHAZAM!’ to get our powers, we say ‘KAREEM!) and I don't think I would ever want to watch it again because it would just cheapen my memory of it. Or maybe I would, as long as there is a lot of alcohol present.
Glimpses of news in singapore frightens me, the prop-hitler group (thanks chlim01), another body parts murder. I can understand the need to rebel and be non-conformist at 15, I remember being asked to come up with something that Singapore would need in 50 years, and we suggested a one-stop cematorium-florist-ntuc shopping centre, which is definitely less funny now. But I've always thought supporting hitler is strange, even more so when you would be persecuted under his regime (except for the blond ah bengs/lians with their tinted contacts). It's up there with aussie comedian john safran trying to join the neo-nazis despite being jewish. At least that was a joke.
I don't know if this says more about me or the company I keep, but I actually know two people who have started a sentence with, "Now see, if I was a dictator, I would..."
And if you are reading this at work, there's another quiz to find out if you are too smart for your job. I got frightened away by the maths section so now I've never know.
why wy?

The level of ignorance over Hitler and world history in general amazes me. Given the time they had to pick a leader, one would have thought they'd do their homework. Please, PLEASE treat our teachers better.
And I say, with relief, that I'm worth what I'm paid :)
