wed - medical appointment at ttsh. stupid patient in front of me delayed everyone else by one hour. prickass. den after tt went down to taka for lunch (the fish and chips sucked tbh. im never going anywhere else except farmart and fish & co again for fish and chips) before nabbing yet another Sylvia Plath book at kino. and wad happened to the 20% discount?!?! :(

the songs are all listed in the order in which i heard them. and i realised that i'd much rather listen to classic songs, singers and groups, like The Bangles, BeeGees, Expose etc and my favourite band of all time, Michael Learns to Rock. simply because their lyrics and tunes are simple, they don't rely or extravagant or fancy selling methods, and they don't need autotunes to boost their crappy vocals because they are naturally talented. shame on you, modern artistes of today, for selling your souls just to make a quick buck. which means i'll never include "singers" such as kesha and justina bieber, the female artiste of the year
as for my top reads of 2010, they'll be in the next post. now for a dilemma: should i go for an afternoon nap, despite waking up at noon? hmmmm

yea need to go down to times soon to take advantage of the 3 books for the price of 2 thingy. also hoping for year-end sales at kino and borders. seriously, books are my life. what would i do without them? probably increase my chances of getting aids and lung cancer, which is something only stupid people do. thank goodness God has given me the strength, courage and knowledge not to get involved in all that sorts of shit. you want sex? wait for that one, right girl whom God has chosen to be your partner for life, the mother of your kids and the one and only woman you're gonna screw for the rest of your life. if only everybody could just realise that
