Does anyone else find it ironic that the music video to Radiohead's "Creep" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk) features the lead singer singing about being "a creep, a weirdo", in a lively club with colourful artificial lights, and the audience jumping, raving and generally moshing to this?
Anyway, I'm thinking about using the music video to Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" (1995) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKd06s1LNik) for extension 1. I wonder what the Ultimate One would say. I think it works well as a related text to The Shipping News, in that it almost shows the alternative side to Quoyle's story - the emotional artificiality of losing touch with what really matters; the direction Quoyle was heading towards before moving to Newfoundland.

Our year
Our final year of high school starts in a few days.
I still find it rather hard to realise that this is our year, 2010. These holidays have been so... relaxed, for me. And that probably means I had not studied enough (=S).
Something the all-powerful Alan Ng may appreciate is the hugely different "feels" of a bass and a normal guitar. Having learnt the bass to numerous Muse songs (time that might have been better invested in a maths paper), putting down Bassic and picking up Jet again created an enormous mental sigh of relief. A normal guitar is so much easier to play than a bass!
Anyway, I have discovered over the last few years an increasing number of Facebook Groups, Youtube content, and forum talk more or less advocating that Ruse sucks. However, the fact that very few Rusians take the effort to contradict them is extremely satisfying. Let them taunt and insult, and in return let us beat them more spectacularly. Personally, the slander serves as a minor source of motivation.
This is our year.
We were not born with slower minds than others, so nothing should bar our way to, well, owning.

On needles.
Today, I had the misfortune to fall victim to the dreaded vaccination needle. =S
Now normally this would not be that much of an issue, however the memory of my last needles- the simultaneous jab in both shoulders while the nurse said "now just relax, this would not hurt a bit" is still fresh in my mind.
So all in all, I would much rather climb Mount Maria again rather than have another needle.

Can I wish you a good morning?
Greetings, one and all! (More likely one)
