scooby doo, i don’t give a shit about you

so last sat, j and i caught scooby doo the musical.
Just to be clear, i’m not a fan of that shit. haha.
i cringe every time i see it on tv, switching the channels. cartoon network doesn’t really have good shows, unless it’s foster’s home for imaginary friends..

and even in gold coast, i didn’t like their silly performances. for goodness sake the motherfucking ghost is right there! -stabs person beside me- i never caught their silly acts on the street, i’d zoom zoom zoom right past and go for the rides. erm, actually i only liked one ride. ironically.. the scooby coaster. -_-

ANYHOO. some pictures.

I kept praying the show would end quickly! every adult was with their kids and they were waving their really quirky light sabers, and all I wanted to do was to throw it at the scooby doo cast because.. hello, ghost is in front of you. hello, in your hundreds of episodes, the first person who comes to you for help is usually the one who’s the ‘ghost’? what makes you so sure this time things will be different?

i don’t know how kids can still watch it! as a kid i never screamed at my tv, telling dora the explorer directions which she’d never follow. that bitch ought to go **** herself or something. and i really have something against stupidity…

accck precious hours of my life i’m never getting back!!!

die trying; windsurfing

went to learn how to windsurf on saturday with ben, bez and dan.. ehhh, the wind was too strong for us to get a grip on it.. and i just gave up after falling into the water a million times..

woke up at 730, and the sun had just started to rise

it was supposed to be a warm day, but the wind killed it a ton… :/

there were lotsa dogs. saw a really fat pug i wanted to give it a hug hahah

where we windsurfed.. shallow waters, perfect.

(=

no pictures of us in/on the waters, perhaps, next time. i’m thinking of getting an underwater camera casing, the downsides are…
1) cost
2) what happens when i get a newer camera
3) the amount of times i’ll use it..

ahh i wanna head back again, maybe when the waters are calmer.

night, at the night market

there was a night market at unimelb last thursday, and i didn’t even know till j told me about it hahahaha. see, i don’t look at posters or words on the floor (chalking) or flags or people when i walk…. but anyway we headed down for a bit to grab some dinner.

we got some indonesian chicken satay, and it was quite good! no pics, i got lazy. :/ the only thing was that there was fat on the chicken.. le sigh.

man tou with beef rendang. i think this cost $8 aud? yea pretty steep, plus i don’t think the rendang had much taste, it was only slightly spicy. and the man tous had no taste too.. whoops

can’t remember which stall this was from, but it’s basically cous cous. with lemon.. seriously the lemon made it taste heaps better! otherwise it’d be slightly bland.. okay when i buy cous cous next time, i’m gna buy a buncha lemons!

random man/woman in a penguin suit, handing out flyers. not really efficient if you ask me since penguins only have flippers for hands..

beef bulgogi. (= not too bad! quite liked it haha.

got myself some iced tea, which came in a pathetic plastic cup. those transparent small ones you get at birthday parties? well yea it cost me $2 and i wanted to smack them so bad. could’ve drank it in a gulp, geez.

we stayed around for quite some time to watch the performances, some really disgusting attempt at making a joke about arts students.. and i got really annoyed because they compared arts to science.. well i’m sorry i’ve no interest in how gravity works, or the fact platinum is an element in the periodic table..

alright, gna wash my dishes now.

cheese, crackers, wine, and then some..

random pics from my cam in the past two weeks.

dinner w dan before bible study.

girls’ night in with bianca and joyce. there was a head of food, not that we bothered to think about the fact we couldn’t eat that much. our first stop was actually the liquor shop.. picked up moscato, a 6pack strawberry+lime cider (which tasted like… medicine. yuck) and chips.

then to woolworths where we saw lotsa food and went crazy. cheese, crackers, chips, nachos, sour cream, salsa…
and we decided to buy a kfc meal. HAH. -_-

i don’t know how the alcohol things work but.. this was okay i guess? would have preferred it to be sweeter and gassier.. i tried it at ps. cafe and have been trying to find some kick-ass sweet stuff..

cheese and crackers are reallllly addictive. i couldn’t stop popping them into my mouth even though i was heaps full..

and after that i sat in the shower to bathe. everyone should try it at least once…..

pre-bandcamp

shawn’s melodica. heaps fun, except i’m not really good with chords, so it was a one finger thing.

yea pink socks that peek outta my boots.

happier moments

melbourne queer film festival

movies + lil rant

(I do realise that my pictures are centered when I upload via wordpress instead of photobucket. kinda annoys me a bit, i can’t decide which i prefer)

caught three films during the festival, and I’m so glad I went! all thanks to j who found out about it. and it really fits because I’m pro glbt (despite being christian. can already hear people wanting to pray for me -_-) and we’re all human after all. i don’t see why I should tell you who to love. so much for the sanctity of marriage, right. Because heterosexual couples stay together forever, they don’t cheat on one another, nah no such thing. and they all produce straight children. and besides, no one divorces in 48 hours, or 72 days. rigggghtttt.

so much to say about the topic, whoops! I didn’t plan for it to be that way, but I caught a gay, trans (FTM) and a lesbian film. so we’ve pretty much covered allll areas. well except the bisexual part.

An Ordinary family

this is the gay film, about a man who brings his boyfriend for his family reunion. he’s been estranged from his family. and his brother’s a priest.. i wasn’t used to the camera direction/handling at first, in fact I was thinking of the different angles they could/should have used throughout the film. (urg occupational hazard!) but after I got over that, it was pretty good. the jokes were so raw, it kinda felt more like a documentary at some points.

I quite liked the whole simple storyline. seeing the character struggle, wanting his brother to accept him. and i guess cos we share the same religion, so it was easy to put myself in their shoes if my family (in this case, brother hahaah. i kid) had someone who wasn’t ‘straight’, and i was thinking about how people will take it yadayadaaa.

Romeos

This was a trans (FTM) film. admittedly, I didn’t know what the story was about, and was kinda apprehensive about trans films (they don’t interest me as much as gay films do, weirdly), but it was a pleasant surprise! i could see luke’s struggle to be accepted as a guy, while he waited for his operation, and how he couldn’t fit in with the girls, but in his quest of being accepted, everything was centered around him and his best friend wasn’t that important anymore.. and there wasn’t this whole love story, thankfully. there was a guy whom luke was interested in, and you can slowly see how.. even as a ‘gay guy’ (meaning you get labelled in society), he was shunning transexuals, (creating another label, as if we need that) but after he got over it, it became better, and how they stood up for each other as friends.. sort of.

cloudburst

this has gotta be my fav movie out of the lot! i’m realllly glad i caught it, and that it was the last film I caught to end the festival. it’s about a lesbian couple who’ve lived together for 30years, and suddenly the femme’s (dotti) granddaughter takes her to a nursing home. dotti’s partner sneaks to the home to save her, and both take a trip of their life to canada to get married. they pick up a hitchiker (who’s really cute) and he becomes part of their family. and it’s really heartbreaking because you know it’s true love, and determination, peppered with sarcasm and wit.

——-
i really appreciate how true love can come in any form. acceptance being one of the biggest factors. you can’t just love someone without accepting who they really are.. and really, judging by the gender is just so…. and i really hate it when people tell me “oh cos the bible said so” that it’s immoral, but i disagree, because. we’re to take some things in the bible literally, some things must be taken into context, so who are you to tell me what what you should be takin literally, and what not to?

and even so, i’ll listen. but i don’t think you’ve any place to make a comment about how it’s wrong to love someone of the same gender. them loving each other doesn’t affect you in any way. we could all do with a lil more love in the world thank you, and i think we’re all capable of finding our ‘one true love’ without your input on which gender it should be..
