Warning

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned

30 Seconds to Mars

Sunday, 21 November was pretty awesome. Had a completely chill day at home and then went to the 30 Seconds To Mars concert. It was pretty spectacular. I know, they're not the best band in the world, but you gotta give them props for trying. They have such an energy on stage that is difficult not to love. I quite enjoyed the mini acoustic set that Jared did in the general standing area. Let's face Jared Leto IS 30stm.


Since I had to take photos with a shitty LG camera phone, I unfortunately don't have very great pictures, but nevertheless I will upload them by the end of the week.

Cheers for now
Love, Karen x

You and me babe, how 'bout it?

A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made.

Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade

Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"

He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back.

You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...

Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start

And I bet when you exploded into my heart

And I forget I forget the movie song.

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they're both the streets of shame.

Both dirty, both mean, yes, in the dream it was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.

How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver, 

You can fall for chains of gold,

You can fall for pretty strangers 

And the promises they hold.

You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah!

Now you just say, "Oh Romeo? Yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him".

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry.

You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".

There's a place for us, you know the movie song.

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk, like the talk on TV

And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.

I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you.

I can't do anything, 'cept be in love with you!

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be.

All I do is keep the beat... and bad company.

Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.

You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".

There's a place for us, you know the movie song.

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

And a love-struck Romeo sings a street-suss serenade

Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade

He says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

You and me babe, how about it?

- Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet

The Most Amazing Show

Wednesday was the opening night for Corne and Twakkie's The Most Amazing Show. From dancing to rapping and singing to relaxation exercises, you can pretty much expect anything from these boys. Members of the unsuspecting audience were just as much a part of the show as they were watching it. Unfortunate members of the audience were ridiculed pretty much as far as you could take it. If you're brave enough you should definitely try to get a front row seat or an aisle seat. If you're up for a laugh you should definitely make sure to catch these okes live. T.M.A.S. is running from 16 November - 4 December and will have you out of your heads and out of your shoes before the end of the show. Book over at Computicket. Tickets are not expensive, and even if they were, it's well worth the few extra bucks.

"Believe it, because it's true"

PS. You better do what they tell you, cos you DO NOT want to feel the wrath of Corne's "Learning Tool" AKA the Moerstick


A few pics from the show










Keep Well

Flight of the Conchords

I started watching Flight of the Conchords about two years ago and kind of filed it away for a few months. Lately I've really been getting back into the show and find myself laughing uncontrollably at every song. It's so funny and I'm so sad there's not gonna be another season. Bleak.




You Don't Have To Be A Prostitute 

It's a cold night beneath the street lights
There's a man whose pants are too tight
Oh no, his pants are too tight
My pants are too tight

He stands there, an empty stare
Tryin' to make enough money for his cab fare home
He'll have to walk home tonight
Don't have enough for the ride

The streets are cruel, he doesn't act cool
He goes to work with only his one tool
You can put away your tool
Jemaine...

You don't have to be a prostitute (no, no, no, no)
You can say no to being a man-ho - a male gigolo!
You don't have to be a prostitute (no, no, no, no)
You can say no to being night-looker, boy-hooker, rent boy, bro-ho

He can't see his way out
I cannot see my way out
He can't see his way out
Male prostitution seems to be my only option
He can't see his way out
I cannot see my way out
He can't see his way out
No, no, no, no!

He's selling cheap thrills to pay expensive bills
But check your resume, you must have some other skills
Do you have any other skills?
Like typing!

They see him, want him to please them
Want him to play them but they don't even pay him
Oh no, they don't think he's worth it at all...

Though they are no one, he tries to bring them home
Maybe it'd be okay if he lived alone
You have a roommate, Jemaine
Don't bring them home!

You don't have to be a prostitute (no, no, no, no)
You can say no to being a man-ho - a male gigolo!
You don't have to be a prostitute (no, no, no, no)
You can say no to being night-looker, boy-hooker, rent boy, bro-ho


Also, i may have the tiniest little crush on Bret Mckenzie. He's so cute :)






(How can you not love someone with a moustache like that?)




Goodnight, love Karen

Lazy Tuesday

Today is another one of those days where I'm sitting around doing nothing while I should be studying. Instead I'm lying in bed daydreaming about the upcoming summer holiday. This week is gonna be a good week.

I won tickets to see Corne and Twakkie's live show tomorrow. Thanks to 2OVfm, listen to it live here That's gunna be awesome. Rest of the week I'll be studying for my "all important" Math exam. Whatever.

Sunday is the 30 Seconds To Mars concert, so I've got This Is War on replay this week. Getting more exited by the minute!  Here's a cover they did off Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and I must say, I'm really impressed. I hope they play this on Sunday:

Party now, Study later

So, I've got exams for the next three weeks, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to get myself motivated to actually study. Not such a hectic schedule, but it just so much effort! Wrote my first test today, not too hectic. Got 4 hours to write a test that was only for 150 marks, could've killed that bitch in two!

Here's a couple of doodles I did a while back. I decided to draw them in paint:

Thompson

This quote describes EXACTLY how I feel about Music. Thank you Dr. Thompson

"Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."  - Hunter S. Thompson
