One of the scariest things I've ever had the unfortune to witness... the Indian (as in subcontinent Indian) version of "Mambo #5".

And in regards to recent thoughts... this seems very relevant. Read a few more articles from the site... but nothing too rivetting. Pity.

"... Every word that he says is a dagger in me!
In my life, there's been no one like you anywhere anywhere...
Where he is... if he asked, I'd be his."

Reactions on the season (and UPN) premiere of Buffy. Definetly one of the better season premieres Buffy has had (::shudders at the thought of the Dracula episode::) and in general it was worth the two hours dedicated to it. A few gripes though...

First off, they didn't play Dawn's barely hidden instability enough. Granted, no one wanted the episode to be all sobs and such. However, her more or less general state of emotion limbo throughout the episode didn't do too well to compensate for the breakdown she has while trying to talk to Buffy.

And another thing the Scooby gang did... They forgot the #1 rule to raising the dead; dig up the body. Otherwise the corpse in question will find a very disturbing surprise when they wake up.

Did enjoy the line Buffy has while revisiting the site of her death: "Is this hell?" The transition from a peaceful afterlife (or so I'm assuming) back to her own world of pain and torment would seem like entering Hell. The images of burning cars, defiled houses, corpses demon and human alike, and having to dig oneself out of the earth doesn't exactly help either. Then again... according to Angel's trip to Wolfram & Hart's home office, Hell is the earth we live in now. Or that people at this point are making a hell for themselves.

Surprised that I had a relatively good day today. It was crap for the most part (crap being a neutral state of awareness) till History when I was busy mucking around with Nikki and writing messages about her bf's kinky/sexy cologne/lube. Then again... I think at one point we're being completely oblivious of Ms. H.. that was a bit of an embarassment.

As for Art... I fear that the new thumbnail I've created for my piece is a bit too symbolic. Like Jen pointed out, most of the pieces are acting like scrapbooks of the experiences people feel. Nothing to flowing or telling a story. And my thumbnail's due for discussion tomorrow too. Damn.

Yes, eroticism is art. Well, tasteful images anyways. It's a celebration of the beauty of the human body. Art is not confined to symbolism, deep concepts, and political messages. Art is a voice, and a voice speaks of expressions as well as abstract thought. I just hate it when people have a very narrow-minded view on the subject.

Speaking of which, I need to get to typing up my paper for the class.
