poached eggs

I poached an egg and it was dead easy.



I don't see the need for all the fuss. All I did was drop it into a pot of boiling water and wait, then pour it out.

I used to do it with the clingfilm, but today I couldn't be bothered. Besides, the egg always stuck to the clingfilm.

Throwing it in and waiting works! It does! Conclusion? Boys are stupid.

PS: I'm teaching myself php and I love it; it's like writing a letter to your machine. Also I love the sneaky math operator function things! I wish I'd known them back when I still had to do math...

this is a picture I drew

When I think about you it makes me feel like I'm exploding, or is it imploding? Makes me feel like there are earthquakes shuddering through my skin... like if you get a deep pan of chocolate, semi-molten, and you put a spoon in it and stir around... the chocolate gets sucked into this swirly vortex - that's how I feel, like a collection of deep round whirling pits. It's electrifying and snugly-warm at the same time. I feel like I'm spilling out of my own eyes, I'm flooding the air with the thought of you.

of course none of this is actually relevant, and everything is as sad and pathetic as before, because I'm just... projecting. as usual.

I need to share something personal because we all know that people who write diaries secretly want the whole world to know. The whole idea of a diary as catharsis makes sense and is plausible, except - how is talking to yourself meant to achieve anything? Definitely doesn't for me. Where is the human contact.

and the best kind of empathy is the kind that comes from well-meaning strangers because you never have to see them again.

hello intarwebz

and my nuts and honey boy.. you're batshit stupid crazy and I don't know what draws me to you. I must have terrible taste. :/

Improv Everywhere

I tried to read my blog and I was so boring that I bored myself. And if I'm the person most in touch with my feelings, that means that I'm likely to be the one feeling the most empathy for me. But I'm still bored. That's pretty tragic. I will earnestly strive to be less boring! After all, it's not just me who uses the internet. ;D it would be so rude to clutter it up. tsk tsk.

A little coincidence today: in COM125 Mr Lim talked about something that sounded VERY SIMILAR to Improv Everywhere's mp3 experiments. I mentioned them, and he told me to blog about them so he could tell the class. The oddest bit is that yesterday night while I was hastily setting this page up, I stuck a link to IE in the sidebar as "link of the week".

Improv Everywhere also likes to repeat their "missions" - they've been doing "No Pants" since 2002! Personally, I think the No Pants missions are really boring. Most of the mission reports are logistics.

For the Mp3 Experiments, participants receive .mp3 files with music and instructions on them. Basically, everyone gets together, turns on their music players, and the show is on! It's a little more interesting than it seems. The first one took place in a theatre - the subsequent ones are fairly more elaborate! Imagine a group of people all doing things in rough synchronisation in complete silence.

Also imagine them traipsing through a park together led by giant snowflakes and raindrops and clouds and a shiny sun!
