new year's

on new year's eve while waiting for the fireworks (sydney will have the best nye display in the world, as per usual = WIN) i will do many things to pass the time. which will go oh so slowly but in a lovely way at the same time.

hopefully my ipod's batteries will last the whole day
i will be listening to:

eugene mcguinness
the best rock guy ever. his music has the same feel as the arctic monkeys but is much more complex and less bogan. kind of like mystery jets but instead of being young and whiny, he's a bit more dark and sophisticated.
julian casablanas' old demos
god damn when i heard the demo version of you only live once, called i'll try anything once, in the trailer for sophia coppola's new film, somewhere, i was like oh god this friendship will never cease to amaze me. that new yorker group of musicians and film makers is so fricking awesome. and their forces combined are comparable to the power rangers or the planeteers.
supergrass
there's something attractive about danny goffey despite his lack of chin. which this photo hides quite well....well he hides it by sticking his head out forward (on the left...DAMN IT I MEANT RIGHT....RIIIIIIGHT)
vampire weekend
saw them on tv the other day. at the glastonbury festival or something? i was sitting with my parents and they really liked them and asked me who they were. despite me making them listen to their cd at least five times now.
radiohead
oh god. nuff said.
blur
the best looking band to come out of england. disputed only by the beatles, but they had charm
i will be reading:
scott pilgrim...again (yes jenna :O again...graphic novels don't count)
slam dunk
one of my favourite cartoons as a child
it should be a good day filled with lots of peaceful waiting; listening to music and reading graphic novels, and eating just to pass time

so for new year's
don't be like that guy from the social network (hot):
be with some friends
...or a pet
...at least a rock that you can throw around

geeky chic

masters of:

buddy holly. (nerd of rock 'n' roll)
graham coxon. (blur. coffee and tv video clip. cute milk dude. nuff said)



















jon heder. (napoleon dynamite. helmet hair. fluent in japanese)
rivers cuomo. (yes that is a weezer snuggie)
















christopher gorham.
charlieissocoollike aka charliiiiiieeeee mcdonnell. (from the internets)










check out that girl in the right bottom corner having a heart attack: "I FOUND CHARLIEISSOCOOLLIKE!!!"
hexachordal aka tom firely aka tom milsom. (from my sex lair)












tom milsom and charlie mcdonnell together. (they have a internet band together called sons of admirals. haven't checked them out. only their individual solo stuff. i quite like tom milsom)


















and michael cera.
(ok i admit it. this whole thing was a sham to lead up to another excuse to put michael cera all over this space. the scott pilgrim post is at the bottom of the page...and it'll go away sooooon)
i'm pretty sure i nudged jenna a little too hard in the cinema when the little scott pilgrim head appeared. and i was like "oh my god. he's gonna say he's gonna get a life and grab the head". and sure enough that's exactly what happened.
michael cera's whole wardrobe is quite similar. BUT FUCKING ACE. a man who can mix and match well is a man with a ticket into my pants.





































































which leads me to the awesome shirts in scott pilgrim
(the red one with the guitar is shown above):

four and a half
match pik usa
weird circle thing
plumtree (it's a band)
W.W polo shirt (wallace wells - the gay roommate)
scott and ramona's matching outfits:

collars, pockets and ringed shirts.
ok there wasn't many shots of them together during the final fight. but scott is wearing a green shirt with a heart on it that says SP inside. it's actually a smashing pumpkins band shirt. but obviously it's significant cos SP = scott pilgrim and he is fighting for love etc etc. and ramona's hair is green. (also, check out the gaming stats on the bottom of the screen...sex)
























pixel skull
i'm pretty sure they were aiming to make this shot as yellow as possible
nerdfighters are go.

superheroes

yeah spies and secret agents are pretty cool. but superheroes are better.
i like batman the best. cos he doesn't actually have superpowers. he is just fucking epic.

which leads me to this:
scott pilgrim vs the world has now come on par if not beaten inception.
notice how many times the word "epic" is on that poster.
is any dipshit still asking why?

Reason 1: Michael Cera
the scout kid off my best friend's an alien. hot. awesome clothes. not nice topless though. a bit gay. also has a oversized nose. the clothes and hair compensate though.



















































Reason 2: Kieran Culkin
little brother of macaulay culkin. his age is 27. 27 is a fine number indeed. he plays a gay. need i say more?
Reason 3: Brie Larson
she plays katie in united states of tara. her familiar face was a super swell surprise for me while i was in the cinema. she is on the left:
the asian pisses the fuck out of me. she was too cutesy, clingy and annoying. and in the picture above she looks possessed. the girl who plays ramona also pisses me off. i like ramona, but the actor is kind of butch. even in the picture above you can see her sticking her shoulders out to make her look thinner/bonier. and not so frickin butch. dyke.

Reason 4: Split screens
as seen below. nuff said.














Reason 5: fight scenes
michael cera being manly (well as manly as he can be) + flaming swords + nice clothes+ floating orb shit+ references to other things in pop culture = orgasm.

































Reason 6: comic book/gaming-ness
it's good when a movie is close enough to the original book/story thing. but some stuff was left out. fuck two hour movie limits.







notice how in the cast collage, the ethnic people (asian chick, indian dude) are without their comic pictures. tsk tsk. how racist. also, i heart the swearing chick on the right. hilarity.












Reason 7: the amount of blue in this scene
i love the colour blue. it's no green. or purple. but it's probs my second favourite colour. (tied with purple) it looks good. the sky is blue. blue lollies are good. my fender strat guitar is blue :)
and now for something completely different (never gets old)

my best friend jenna and i are mirrored in many texts (oh fuck english). these include anything with michael cera:








and yes, i watched scott pilgrim with jenna. in the cinema i kept on going "oh fuck it's us"..."holy shit is that ninja dance machine thing a real game??!?! WE HAVE TO PLAY IT TOGETHER!"..."oh shit look. us. in a library together"

cardis, jumpers, hoodies, jeans, matching positions. we have the "michael cera plus one" married/smitten couple down pat.











juno: i am juno. jenna is bleeker/michael cera.
seriously everything or a significant amount fits every time. knives chau is asian and in uniform. i am asian and in uniform (holy shit...even right now). juno is sarcastic and fucking epic. i'm sarcastic and fucking epic. and jenna = michael cera. look at her eyeballing me from the far left.














our good buddy amelia also claims that we are kick ass and red mist.
i am kick ass cos i'm the ring leader and fucking awesome. his costume is fucking gay though. i would have done much better. fathering a child with a 40+ year old woman at 19 however, i would support. (the actor not the character).
and jenna is red mist. cos she drives and has a car. also cos the actor is fogel aka mclovin in superbad....HILARIOUS! although michael cera is in that movie. so she'll just have to double up there. and i'm the fat guy, seth. cos he's the ringleader. plus he gets the hottest chick. who isn't even that hot but oh well. he is also fat...















for harry potter doppler ganger week, i was cho chang. obviously cos she's asian and a chick. cho chang is a less hot and scottish accented version of me.


















what a long fucking blog.
i shall end it with a picture that will blow your mind. in the maths corridor at my educational institution, i was walking across a few years ago looking for some adhesive materials when i stumbled across a whole collection of optical illusions hanging on the walls. "how. fucking. awesome." i thought. the artist is a flying dutchman. m.c. escher. (yeah i looked it up cos i knew if i said "oh yeah it's by some awesome dude but i forget his name"...some DOUCHEBAG would annoy me about it later...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, FAGAL)
i like this one:
when i leave the horrid educational institution i am currently at, i may approach my maths teacher with a proposition. to get all the pictures off him. or i could just buy them myself elsewhere. either way i will own them all. plus jenna is making me a shirt of another picture.
so i'm cool.
