i <3 kelly. and how cracked up was this year’s finale? :P
this is never again, her new single. it’s a slightly pitchy for the first few lines, but amazing for the rest.
and for pep: kelly doing a (very high-pitched but) funky version of sergeant pepper:
and blake <3 that kid with the great fashion sense ;) in jacob’s, twop recapper who’s in love with blake too, words: Blake reveals that he has like fifteen powers of awesome beatboxing we didn’t even know about, and it’s powerful.
and well, it’s ok he didn’t win lar. he looked like he was having tonnes of fun anyway. :) and for the first time, i think i might actually buy an american idol contestant’s album.
it feels very strange, when you sit down and think about it, that my three years of undergraduate study are over. O___O it’s liberating to an extent, but also downright terrifying.
i feel like i should be using my new-found free time to do more fulfilling things though, like volunteering (i really should go back to the primary school to see the kids again), or reading more (for all the leisure reading i missed out on), and watching all the films i wanted to watch– like rashomon, seven samurai, a bout de souffle (sp?) etc. and gaming! ohmygosh! i cleared act one of monkey island 4 today, and it was satisfying. the SCUMM operating system was really annoying though, i lost my temper at it quite a few times.
but yeah. three years. over. no more essays, no more seminars, lectures, tutorials, tutors, supervisory meetings. it’s bizarre. it’s almost an empty feeling.
and as louis muttered as he walked me home (after i had monopolised his laptop for the whole afternoon playing monkey 4), “get used to the passing of time!”
oh my. O_O

and the future beckons. JET is confirmed, and by august 4th, i will be in japan! my posting is tomioka, gunma– which is an hourish train ride from tokyo, so that’s convenient :P it’s also a city (albeit a small one), and its specialty is… silk. which in my uncle’s words, “cost an arm and a leg”. :P tomioka is one prefecture away from gifu– which means nagisa is close by– yay! <3
but yes. the future’s already more or less settled, which is, reassuring and yet somehow overwhelming at the same time. in mid-july i’m going to pack up my life and ship it home for two weeks, only to pack it up and ship it to yet another country again.
the brain boggles.
i suppose, ultimately, the feeling is one of disappointment. i know the stuff that was said. i knew the things to use. but somehow, put it all together, comprehending what is said, thinking of forms to use– my brain just died. it was alright. i answered the questions with the bare minimum. i know the mark will not be a bad one.
but it’s still the disappointment. i should know better, i should do better. argh.

on the other hand– blake got into the finals! yay! with jordin! yay! though, i really hope blake doesn’t win this (i suspect he might hope so too.) i’ll admit that he’s not the best vocalist, and roxanne was the obvious mis-step of the evening for him, but uhm, i actually still like it. :x does this mean i’m becoming a blaker girl (eep.) and uh, embarrassingly, i actually love his sweaters– as garishly or fuddily patterned they may be.
go team plaid! <3
ahhhh, blake. i thought you were cool, then you weren’t– but now you’re cool again. :) i love the little moments you have with ryan. please keep it up. :D
why were the judges so grumpy about this is where i came in? :\ i mean, it was one of the few times that the beat-boxing wasn’t jarring or gratuitous, and it was all funky and down with it. (yes, i am evidently in-tuned with hippety hoppety language). and i really love it. the fake sweater though (– fweater?) was a bit strange. but i love the preppy look. <3
you should be dancing though– was painful.
