You and I are two very different people.
We come from completely opposite ends of the universe. Something so blatantly obvious, yet something you completely fail to recognize. Or rather, it’s something you DON’T want to recognize. I believe you know this for a fact, yet, you continuously haunt me with tales your of adventures [or should I say, misadventures].
I’m currently annoyed with you. And I’ll admit, all this annoyance comes from selfish reasons.
Once, during a long drive, a friend asked me a simple question,
Friend: What does ‘euphoria‘ mean?
Me: You know, when it’s like, 3 in the morning, and you’re the only one awake in the house? You put on a pair of high-quality headphones, spray some fragrance around your room, turn off all lights - inluding your monitor, close your eyes and listen to the entire length of Tiesto’s Nyana - Indoor disc.
That orgasmic state of mind, is what you call Euphoria.
I’m sure you’ve heard of that old news about an Adult-Proof Ringtone [APR]. Well, if you haven’t, allow me to briefly explain: to put it simply, it’s a ringtone that adults over 25 [more or less] can’t hear, but anyone younger will be able to hear a high-pitch sound that goes NGIIIIIIIIIINGGG!~~ I’m sure you know what kind of buzzing I’m talking about. It’s kinda like a mosquito buzzing, but at a much higher frequency, and at lower volume.
Anyway, it’s really not that difficult to produce this sound. A simple circuit with a buzzer does the trick, I remember doing an assignment that could do that. Most classic Cathode Ray Tube [CRT] television sets produce this sort of high-pitched noise too but at a much lower frequency than the APR. I’ve been able to tell if the TV was switched on or off from anywhere in the house just by hearing this noise. It’s not much of a big deal, really, since anyone else could also probably hear it too so I never told anyone about it. The thing is, while everyone in the house could probably hear it, I was the only one who paid attention and actually listened for it.
This was a neat trick for me back in my teenage days [geez, and I'm still only 22!] since I was able to tell if anyone was awake watching TV late at night before I snuck out of my room and out the house. If I hear that NGIIIIING noise, I would slip back into my room and wait a while longer until the noise died away - signalling that the TV has been switched off, and whoever was watching back then has most likely gone to bed.
Today, I can still hear that buzz, but it’s not something I really bothered with because now I simply walk out of the house for late night mamaking and just tell my mom I was going out as I pass them by [at this age, going out late at night isn't much of a problem anymore, thankfully]. However, my paying attention to that silent noise has somewhat backfired on me.
Since it’s lunch hour, why not check out this McDonald’s ad in Japan.
The first thing that escaped my lips were the words HOLY SHIT. Not only does the freaking burger have FOUR beef patties, it comes into two kinds of sets. First, there’s the regular MegaMac Set [about RM20] that comes with the usual fries and cola, and there’s also a MegaMac Special Set that comes with fries, cola, AND McNuggets [about RM23]! Although, I still think the MegaMac can’t live up to the legendary Monster Thickburger offered by Hardees Restaurant in America.
That’s two pieces of 1/3lbs beef patties layered with bacon and cheese topped with mayonnaise. Eat one of that, and you’re in for a triple coronary bypass surgery. Although I believe this isn’t extreme enough for Americans, yet. I remember seeing on Discovery a deli that makes a burger with a 3lbs. beef patty - that’s like, a 1.5kg burger! If you can finish it in one sitting, the meal is on the house and you get to be in the deli’s Hall of Fame. Later, as the camera makes a tour around the deli, it comes as no surprise to see the Hall of Fame is filled with photos of either very skinny, or very plump people.
To be frank, a part of me actually wants to give that MegaMac a try *licks lips*
Small Talk:
I have been shaving since 2003, and this morning was the first time I cut myself. And of all places to get cut by a razor blade, I cut my upper lip while shaving off my moustache. *licks*
Mm, blood isn’t that yummy after all. Now where’s my tissue box…
More than 15 new titles added into the list since the last update [July 2006], as well as updating the completion of many various series that were ongoing back then! Sorry, Jeff, all of my collection are fansubs because I can’t afford to purchase original anime on DVD [yet *sobs*] and besides, many fansubs put helpful episode notes for various terms and questions that might arise in the shows [take for example, Wannabe's excellent work with their School Rumble releases, or Eclipse's German translations for Fate/Stay Night].
Always happy to spread the love! You can check out the list by clicking this link, or the link at the sidebar :D
