There's a reason why I haven't been updating my blog even if I have constant net access till the end of this month.
I should take advantage of such things more considering the situation.
Anyway, if I finally stop procrastinating and gaming every night when I get home, I'll finish the other blog that I'm working on, which Marc and I will share just for the heck of it. (I'm forcing him to write, obvious ba?)
When it's done, kindly link from there and not here in Paneled Dementia anymore. I'll make this blog strictly for comics-related posts.
I might as well start doing this. After almost three years of doing research on comics and anything related to it, there's just too much information lying around somewhere in my head and around me. And that does not include all the research materials Dell has sequestered for the unspecified time period he's making his thesis.
So there.

You're Les Miserables!
by Victor Hugo
One of the best known people in your community, you have become
something of a phenomenon. People have sung about you, danced in your honor, created all
manner of art in your name. And yet your story is one of failure and despair, with a few
brief exceptions. A hopeless romantic, you'll never stop hoping that more good will come
from your failings than is ever possible. Beware detectives and prison guards bearing
vendettas.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
Who can resist being a discworld character? Thanks April.
You are Granny Weatherwax. You enjoy flying around
on a broomstick that requires bump-starting,
telling people they feel much better, and
intimidating everyone you know. Frankly,
however, you wish they'd all just stop whining
so damn much.

The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang
The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang
Ha-Ha! Well now we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about
I'd appreciate your input
Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Siskel yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns
Come quicker than FedEx never reach an apex like Coca-Cola stock you are inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now
Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory"
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide B-5 you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on I'm Mister Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

For the uninitiated, this a song.

Salamat sa blog ni Apwil for these time-wasters.
Been depositing on my cultural capital the past days for free.
Tuesday, was at the opening of Eiga-Sai (the movie Sanjuro Tsubaki was shown). Last night was with Tim and Marc at CCP to watch Rakugo in English (Japanese Sit-down Comedy with Philippine Playhouse). Tonight Tim and I will be watching The Iceman Cometh...still for free. hehe.
Bring on the shows!

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively. |

The French dude is not a kid. He is an official of sorts though I hate to say more or even his name for fear of repercussions. ehehehehe
The first day he wore what Peloy described in my tagboard. I guess it was a lil bit better during the second day as the frilly shirt was black, he lost the tie and the pinstripes on the pants.
If any of you guys dropped by the EduFrance exhibit, you would know exactly what I/we mean.
(I really hope this entry won't appear in google when people search for info on edufrance 0_0).
Anyway, I didn't exactly get to interact with him as I was busy playing secretary at the other events. All I know for sure is, he didn't exactly endear himself to the other office staff. He's not that friendly at all. Only got to talk(?) to him when I was told to ask if he wanted tea or coffee. (He got the tea cos that's what was in the tray I was carrying and I didn't ask veeery nicely at all.)
And that's all I'm gonna say about it.
Ze boss is back, so I'm going back to ze work.

Today made me wish that I know French or could at least understand it, not really speak it.
There was a roundtable discussion at CIS today with cultural attaches and UP Professors. At the start, all guests/speakers knew French so the discussion switched languages from English to French and back again and sometimes even Italian (because the Italian cultural attache was there).
There discussion was quite lively and there were jokes that I wish I could have gotten, but oh well...
Today's lunch was Katsudon. Tomorrow is by Choco Kiss. Yaaay! The side benefits of working yourself (not to death!) till your braindead.
And I shouldn't forget the free net access when the bosses decide to go home early and all the jobs for the day are done. Which means I get the oppurtunity to update and I have net presence again.
But then blogging at the office is not really good cos I get distracted easily and what I write tends to get...uhm...what's the darn word...basta there's no coherence to what I write.

who is your closest personality match
Gandalf The Grey, Grey Pilgrim, Grey Wanderer, Gandalf Stormcrow, Gandalf Greyhame, Gandalf The White, Incánus, Lathspell, Mithrandir, Tharkûn, the Elf of the Wand, Servant of the Secret Fire, Weilder of the Flame of Arnor and Disturber of the Peace.
you were the last of the istari to arrive in middle earth, and supposedly the wisest. however, this could be held in contention. you really are rather slow on the uptake. how long did it take you to realise that bilbo's ring was in fact the one ring? 60 years? 70 years? and for that matter, why did you have to go all the way to gondor to research about it, couldn't you just have asked your buddy elrond, since he was there and apparently remembers all about it.
you are also a tad slow at noticing that saruman is not quite the same wizard that you thought he was. come now, take a good look at orthanc, does that or does that not, have 'bad guy stronghold' written all over it? and how many doors need to be closed in your face before you start to suspect that there may be something strange going on? however, once you've been imprisoned on the top of the tower for a while, it does finally dawn on you that saruman is in fact in league with sauron, and you have enough wit to piss off when he's not looking.
your favourite pastime seems to be stalking hobbits, an activity that you share with your best buddy aragorn. both of you appear to invest large amounts of your time wandering around on the outskirts of the shire. apparently neither you, nor aragorn, have anything better to do, since unlike some of your order, you are not plotting to take over middle earth, and he just doesn't have a life.
you are a complete control freak, and you get highly pissed off when people don't do what you say, therefore it's not surprising when you decide to appoint yourself as leader of the fellowship. however, you are not exactly the most reliable leader, considering your compulsion to suddenly dash off on other secret errands, or even better, falling to your apparent death and leaving the company in the hands of people even less reliable than you.
luckily for you though, you are not quite as dead as people thought you were, and eventually, after a quick bath and washing your clothes, you return to the world as gandalf the white. unfortunately your beard shrank in the wash, but one assumes that it will, in time, grow back.
in your second coming you also appear to have picked up the elvish skill of glowing for no apparent reason, much to the dismay and utter jealousy of legolas, who seems to be the only elf in middle earth without this ability. perhaps you should consider a change of profession, and with your trendy new white clothes, become the pin-up boy for napi-san.

Surfing in a Ragnarok-infested place.
Currently looking for pictures of Madrid slums while checking my email at the same time. It's a wee bit job-related, but I don't mind. What I can't believe is how hard it is to find one. I got one pic after one hour. Maybe people really don't want to show off the not-so-nice face of their country/city. If I look for Manila slums will I have the same problem? I wonder, but I don't have enough money to indulge in that experiment right now.
I guess most of everyone knows that I'm currently working at CIS now (that's Center for International Studies, if you don't know). Work's ok, body clock just adjusting to waking up early, staying up and awake all day. You can actually have sane and logical conversations with me during lunchtime, if I'm not too lazy to walk all the way to the tambayan. Airconditioned rooms kinda spoil you. I used to be stuck in our sauna-like room in Sampaloc, stuck in front of the computer doing "stuff." Now, I'm so tired of staring at computer screens I don't even feel like playing any games when I get home.
The highlight of the week or the most windang part anyway, was calling the Russian embassy to ask for the name of the Cultural Attache and getting connected directly to the Attache himself by mistake. He barely understood what I was saying but at least I got his name and the correct spelling. The good thing about it was that he didn't get angry and actually was laughing at the end of the conversation.
The runner-up for this week would be calling the Italian embassy. They're automated so I didn't get to talk to anyone, but the voice they used for the English interface was the voice of a Chinese guy. It might not be a really good idea, but Bengki wanted to check it out for herself so I gave her the number.... hehe. They're closed on weekends,of course.
Come to think of it, Dell persistently giving me macapuno candies last Tuesday was pretty freaky. And so, to complement Macapuno Man....
your fuck.

I decided that I would write in my blog today. So here.
Not that I have anything to write really. I'm transferring files from this PC to diskettes and that takes time and so ....what the hell am I saying?
Still doing nothing. Spent Christmas in Cavite, New Year celebs in Baguio at the convent, my aunt's a nun for those of you who are uninformed.
oh boy...I spent way too much time online. gotta go now.

So here's a lil update at last, changed the look of my blog and that should make me start writing again.
But I still don't have internet connection so that will make my posts sporadic. Right now, as Dell said, I'm leeching on his internet card.
I so hate not having any extra money at all.
In my previous entry months ago I said I might move my blog but Gabby and co. has persuaded me otherwise. So I'm still here.
And I realized I have to spend more time online just to get a new journal up and running in a different site than in just fixing this one up. And I can't even do anything fancy with it for lack of time. And there are still some bugs of course, can't help that. And I think I still haven't linked some people.
I'll stop now. It's almost 5am, time to wake up Dell who's sleeping (snooooring!) soundly beside me.

Had quite a weekend! Had a fab weekend which includes having my ankle sprained and lots of talks with friends and lazing around at Dell's house. Ely was there till Saturday, but Peloy and me stayed till Sunday just so we could be Dell's convenient excuse. But, hey, it was good to stay and besides I couldn't walk that well yet (cos of the said ankle). Got to meet interesting peepol too. hahaha
Being in Windangers Anonymous is actually getting to be a good kind of therapy, I think. Or maybe I mean a good kind of escape. But it's good for my mental health, so tha's that.
I mean, I don't wanna see my brother at all. My mom kinda laughed when I complained in 3 text messages, but they said they understood me. So there. Maybe I'm not so paranoid after all, thinking that my brother's demands are actually reasonable and is part of my duty as a sister.
this seems to fit here...
Gray:

follow you everywhere. The worst has always got

Read this old interview of The Comics Journal of Art Spiegelman. (from Peloy's book The New Comics) This is not thesis-related at all. Then again I haven't been thinking "thesis" for some time now.
JOURNAL: Why was RAW#1 "The Graphix Magazine of Postponed Suicides"? A postponed suicide is just a stall till suicide,isn't it? That doesn't sound very hopeful at all...
SPIEGELMAN: Let me answer that with a quote from NIetzsche: "The thought of suicide is a great consolation: with the help of it one has got through many a bad night." To think about suicide isn't necessarily to commit suicide. it's to acknowledge the possibility and to acknowledge the precariousness of being alive and to affirm it. Every moment that you don't commit suicide is an affirmation. It's deciding to live some more. The reason I think it's actually an optimistic notion is the fact that...well, that quote that's in the inside front cover by Cioran, "A book is a postponed suicide," to me implies an act of faith has been committed. Which is, to create a work of art, a book, a painting, a poem, a magazine, a comics strip, whatever and that the work is in itself a justification for remaining alive. In that sense, at least, I felt I was provisionally optimistic.
I guess that entire quote is more of a mood thing.
Met with my bro, got to wash his clothes, got P500 for my trouble. Well, it didn't exactly happen like that, but that's the gist of it. No scary offers yet of living with him, thank badness.
something's a wee bit wrong with my blog template.I've done tried to update all the links and shit but it remains the same. What could be wrong?
sigh.

Desperately seeking for space, flitting from place to place...
seems like more people are coming in than I can handle.actually it's just one person who I have issues with...my brother (read: big elder brother). received a text message from him this morning saying hes been promoted and he'll be staying here in manila starting feb.15.
guess i should be happy or something. guess it would be ok if everything was great between me and my family.
it will be so hard to hide things now. and i just mean the CL thing for starters. 0_0 sheesh. let's just hope he'll be too busy to bother about my life.
he was the only one who ever asked me the question: what do you plan to do after you graduate? ugh. yech. i remember the horrors of that day and how i evaded answering that life-threatening question sucessfully enough cos I'm still here and that was almost 4years ago, i think.
anyway, i just friggin' hope he won't ask me to live with him.
he's thinking of asking my aunt if he can stay here in cavite temporarily. oh joy. there goes one of my quiet places to do thesis.
wow...this news gets me blogging again.
sigh. SIGH SIGH.
