Back to Bedlam

Yee, also the title of James Blunt’s album, but it’s the way I’ve been feeling lately about one of the directors coming back from holidays. It was peaceful and quiet to the point of boring when he wasn’t here, but I liked it that way. I didn’t have anyone sitting behind me, making me paranoid about what I was doing. Not that I was doing anything suspicious. I just liked the privacy I had. But now I’ve got to suffer. I could move, but I like it here. I feel so exposed!

And I’ve still got his files to work on. It’s going to take ages. And he didn’t even notice that I tidied up his office! God. That’s the last time I’m doing anything for him. Well, probably not, but at least out of the kindness of my own heart. Yeah, that’s right. Anything he wants done now, will have to specifically asked for. Hee hee hee.

Update: 12 February 2006
Thanks for the comment, anonymous one, yes, I know who you are, so there's no need to hide. Huh, to think I was getting my hopes up because I thought someone other than someone I knew actually read this blog and bothered (heaven forbid) to post a comment. So to all you people I don't know who aren't posting, I don't need your sympathy. So take that up your arse.

Why I'm interested

For now, at least, here are some explanations behind why I'm interested in my interests.

Origami: I like functional origami better than the aesthetic type, simply because it's useful to some extent. I've always wanted to create a Kawasaki Rose, but it's just too advanced, and I'm only a beginner in Origami. People who can make these actually sell them, and of course it's only folded paper, but you wonder and appreciate it because you realise the hard work that's behind the seemingly simplistic beauty of it.

Erotic Literature: I think I get turned on more by having something pleasurable to read while I'm pleasuring myself than watching porn, unless maybe it's hentai. It's a sign of an advanced mind don't you know.

Black Humour: If you haven't watched the series Little Britain, you've been missing out on the best black humour that's come from the UK since Monty Python maybe. And that's saying something. God, where do they come up with this funny shit? It's good enough to eat.

Consumer Technology: I've always wanted to become a designer, no wait, a critic of "good design" in consumer technology, meaning technology for the masses, just so I can tell people what they want, and to make sure what they want is actually useful, and aesthetic at the same time. It's no easy feat, mind you... the commoners can be so fickle...

Lui's Brain: If you read this guy's blog, you'll know what I mean. His words are so articulated, like the grab sticks of a glonk. Anyway, what I mean is, he's awfully intelligent, though he can be quite stubborn in his mind set, and quite perverted too I might add. Still, he's my boyfriend, so back off bitch.

Romance: I wouldn't say I'm the gushy type, and I don't actually like watching chick flicks all that often, but romance, the art of being romantic, is what I appreciate a guy being able to master, without coming across too sappy. A bunch of flowers now and then wouldn't go astray, or writing a letter instead of an email. Yes, THAT kind of thing. And in return, well, who knows, you might get something you've been wishing for.

Time Magazine: Eh, maybe I should take this one off the list. Sometimes it's good. Other times I just wish I was reading Frankie.

Gadgets and Inventions: I've lumped this one together, because, you know, they're all the same. Though I suppose, you could think of inventions as being the beta versions of gadgets. Anyway, this is closely related to my fondness for consumer technology. I mean, I could play with some of my gadgets all day, but then I'd get sore.

Irony: Don't know why I added this actually. It's funny when it's real.

Bisexuals: Hmm, yeah, I've wanted to be involved in a threesome with a bisexual guy and me boyfriend for a while. But he's not up for it.

Men with glasses: When cute guys wear glasses, god, it's just so HOT. It makes me want to bone them there and then. Maybe it's that idea that they're somehow more intelligent too. Probably a subconscious fantasy I have.

Good Design: Yes, you can't beat good design in anything. ANYTHING. I mean, there should be a law that says everything should be well designed. What a wonderful world that would be. They'd have that in Lutopia you know.

Hentai: I'm not obsessed by it. Still, there was this scene I saw once...

Skepticism: Maybe I should just rename it as general criticism. I think it's good to be a critic. Or else nothing would be questioned for the sake of it.

Style: I can't stand models and celebs who go out in public, wearing god awful clothes that you wouldn't want a hobo wearing. I don't care if they're paid to wear them. I mean, have some dignity for god's sake, and don't be a fashion victim. There should be more fashion police out there. Some clothes are just wrong. And that's just one facet of style. Don't get me started on home style, car style, hair style...

Unusual facts: The occasional unusual fact is good. Any more than say a few a day is not only wasteful, but rather annoying.

Yay, another time waster!

Lutopia - Chapter 2

Lui has made some insightful, clarifying comments on my first post about Lutopia. I'll post a link to these when he posts them on his blog.

Update: We have decided that Lutopia was formed originally as a new country, with only a few loyal supporters of the new order around here, as the SBS World Guide deems it, and then expanded as greater numbers of people warmed to the idea once they saw the obvious advantages this country was experiencing. Still, it was no small effort for Lutopia to become that way, let me assure you. The History of Lutopia will reveal more once I get around to penning it.

Economy
Lutopia began as medium sized country, positioned somewhere in central Europe, and was run modestly, but suprisingly competently by a select few, with the substantial input of the majority of the population, just keep things in check. Lutopia is fully independent, in fact, being rich in energy, mineral and biological resources meant that it was highly sought after as a country to conquer. But its free trade and multilateral links to the unconverted meant that it was free from threat. Nevertheless, it did have a damn good defense system (no WOMD however, that's so 2004), just in case anyone tried anything funny.

The fascinating thing about Lutopia is its people, all of which are highly educated, even down to the ones who just wanted to be labourers. Because that was their choice you see. Hence, the goods that were produced by workers working for the benefit of their country were of very high quality and competively priced. For this, Lutopians were given a basic salary, with all the trimmings.

Rich as Lutopia was, there wasn't national debt to contend with. Lutopians did feel obliged to help other countries in need, and although no debt repayment was expected in the traditional sense, however, Lutopia did expect those to return the generosity in the form of skilled labour and other mutually beneficial offerings.

Lutopia experiences some transitional unemployment as workers move from job to job, in search of broadening their skill base. But that is all. Long term unemployment has been eradicated. The employed are evenly split amongst industry, agriculture and services. Lutopia has a competitive advantage in all these sectors. Jealous?
