I know I should engage your attention if I wanted my page to rake up an obscene amount of hits. I suppose, in doing that, I ought to say something highfalutinly profound to give the impression that I am "interesting."
However, as I mainly concern myself of trivial stuff (i.e. taming my ugly mop of hair; hunting for the Lint Monster that eats up my socks during washer spin cycle), I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to pull off having an intrinsic character despite peppering this space with lotsa German words like "zeitgeist", "weltanschauung", and "volkswagen".
I am shallow, people of the universe. So shallow that I tidy up complexity by putting people into neat boxes of stereotypes using the question, "What's your sign?".
But when I tire of being shallow, I try to critique movies and books. And sometimes, when my insecurity-level spikes so low, I try to make myself sound so interesting by talking about philosophy. "Try" is the operative word here.
Please excuse me if I talk about me a lot. It's my favorite topic. Next to talking about nothing.
And when one talks about nothing, nothing becomes something. And it's called "crap".
Alice in Wonderland (NBC Version)
October 4, 2008Chapter 1: The Predicament
It all started one day when Alice woke up and noticed that the cottage she had had constructed a month ago could not afford the additional 10 pounds she just gained overnight.
“I knew that apple pie was a mistake,” she muttered with regret.
She didn’t know what made her get the 7 dwarves as her contractors. But then, she was quite fascinated by the dwarves’ technique of measuring everything by their pinky. She was still thinking about her next action when a little white rabbit peeped from her window and saw her predicament:
“Oh, dear, Oh dear. The Queen will be displeased!” The white rabbit exclaimed and in distress, he caught one of his ears and chewed on it. Then the white rabbit flinched in surprise as the vibrate mode of his Motorola Black Razor V3 alarmed. Seeing a virtual envelope addressed from the Queen, he trembled then scurried away.
“The Queen?” pondered Alice, “Wait, Mr. Rabbit!” she called out at the speeding rabbit.
But the Mr. Rabbit was already too far to hear her call. She wanted to follow the rabbit, but first she must find a way to get out of the house.
It would take a great deal of concentration to contort her limbs to get out, but she figured that with her splendid ballet training of 2 days, she would be able to manage it. She vowed, as she was able to stretch out a toenail out the window, that after this episode she would forevermore discriminate against the sweet fillings and eat only the pie crust … that is, if the recipe exceeded a cupful of sugar more than the usual.
After 3 days, Alice finally managed to got out. Of course, it wasn’t her ballet contorting strategy that let her escaped, but the fact that she burped and farted down gradually to her original size. Although euphoric from her escape, she was also disoriented from having nothing to eat for days, thus forgetting all about the white rabbit…until:
“Oh dear, oh dear. Four beheadings and one more! “ muttered the white rabbit as it passed by her house again during its twice weekly garden border patrol.
Alice saw the white rabbit and remembered him from the last time, “Mr. Rabbit!” she called out to him.
“Ack! She’s out! Oh dear, Oh dear!” exclaimed the white rabbit, then ran away and disappeared into a rabbit hole she’d never seen before.
She figured, as she’s the only person there that the second-person pronoun meant her, so she decided to follow the rabbit to ask him what he meant, and also to ask which store he got his chic checkered black and white scarf.
Armed with resolve, she followed him down the rabbit hole.
