Stuck, thus, blogging by numbers

1. If I hear Fireflies by Owl City one more time, I will slaughter Minkie (our chowchow), smoke it with cayenne and herbs, barbecue it, and eat it with relish, tearing through the skin and licking my fingers afterwards. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD. (Well, okay, no, I don't. Minkie's our family pet. BUT PEOPLE PLEASE STOP IT WITH THAT SONG. Hesus para niyo nang awa! Is this what passes for music these days? I call it, Double A: Aural Annoyance.... Or or or! A.F.A.: Aural Fucking Annoyance!)
2. I just finished reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. I liked the contrast between the daylight sadness and the gothic intentions. Certainly enjoyed it. Not high literature, but it was a good read, couldn't put it down for a couple of days. The funny thing is, I had the Olsen twins as my unintentional visual peg for the main protaganists, Valentina and Julia.
Isn't it funny how that happens with some books? You try your best not to associate their physicality, their looks, to people you know in real life, but sometimes the book is just seriously asking for it. Then you end up with a book with people you know (that extra level of similarity to reality is a good thing, but I meant it physically; you're reading about these characters in a book and one of them looks like your grandfather, one looks like the bitch who made your life hell in high school, one loooks like...Mary Kate Olsen!), instead of characters that the author actually created for the narrative.
3. I LOVE FRISKA VILJOR'S LATEST ALBUM, For New Beginnings. As in, that's all I've been listening to the whole of November, day and night. Not kidding. Not not not. I painstakingly chose 3 of my favorite tracks from the record, here they are. I love them I love them I love them! And this record is just...inspired. If you have faith in my taste, go buy it now from Amazon.com, or...download it. Let's not be pretentious.
4. SAOSIN, THE KILLERS, AND PARAMORE are having concerts here in Manila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Well, I'm not that psyched for Paramore, but I'd still love to watch them!) Super psyched for Saosin. Kuku, it's a date, yes? Three dates.
5. It's Ohno's birthday tomorrow! <333333333333333 I want Libertine, my old Mac Book Pro, back so that I could post a proper birthday blog for him tomorrow replete with pictures. But yeah. Did I say, some friend of my little brother spilled Bacardi on my laptop one night, sometime last last week when we were drinking? Yes. The gods don't know how to smile down on me. Libertine is now in the Mac hospital, clinging to life but is nearing death through asphyxiation through wanton alcohol consumption. Bacardi 121 wasn't too nice to her heart aka the logiboard. Libertine, don't leave me alone in this world!!!! :'(
6. This blog will now end abruptly. I'm sleepy
7. I'm sorry that I can't even be bothered to make a proper blog entry. This is just a reflection of the state of my head right now: incoherent, disparate, and when I think about it, really vacuous. Oooh, thinking about what's in my head/thinking, metaphysical much? Well, like I said. Incoherent, disparate, and vacuous. Adjectives I don't really take a liking to when it refers to me.
8. Christmas break soon!!!
