"..dont dodge and mumble, smile and rumble!.."

...Aliyah's wise words. Write them down.

-Well isn't this just fantastic. A reason to harass pregnant women in airports.
Just lovely..

I guess we can never underestimate how far these fear tactics will go.
So on top of being bloated, hormonal, suddenly overweight, all stretch marked up, and a bunch of other weird bodily and mental things, they now have to worry about people thinking that they're terrorists! :D Great..


-I met a boy who reminds me of Travis McCoy. *sizzling sound*


- I've finally finished reading Memoirs of A Geisha. A year after starting it! Not because I'm that slow of a reader but because I don't really sit down and just..read. I'll read on the train and while waiting for the bus. I started it back in Riyo and as you know, there's no metro or bus stops there so I virtually never read it. Anyways, I'm happy I'm done. Promised myself I wouldn't keep starting other books unless I plan to finish them all. So one at a time :p I feel like I'm living up to my "read more books" resolution. Kind of.
Any how, I wasn't too impressed with the ending.
It would have been better if Sayuri didn't get The Chairman at the end. Because then she would have gotten owned =)
Happy endings really ruin a story sometimes.
It was still a very great read though.

The whole Geisha business is just messed up. A bunch of very well paid..whores? And the men that they served were just perverted :-S Dr. Crab. The minister. The General. Each one more gross than the next.
I think my favorite thing about this book were the endless (literally) metaphors.
There was a metaphor for every single feeling, or thought, or scene. Really brought more meaning to the story.

Now! Time for me to watch the movie :D


- Wtf is up with Kanye's new video?!?!? :| I think I like it though!







I know there's no point to this post, but when is there ever :p
I'm trying to update more frequently


Over and out.

I haven't read that geisha novel but i did see the movie. it was good to be honest.

oh and pointless posts are the best. you just feel light reading them.

Mochness said...

I didn't like the movie and I didn't like the book, either.

ubergirl87 said...

I thought the book was fantastic! And the movie was the least disappointing adaptation of a book I have ever seen. Which isn't really saying something, bass

Juju the Jaja said...

lol The movie has good memories associated with it.
What exactly is the object a geisha gives a guy when she's offering him her virginity?
Fishy and I decided it's a rice cake. We started going around picking guys to give our rice cakes to. Always cracked us up loool

Are you into social psychology? If you are, I would suggest Lord of the Flies for your next reading, if you haven't read it already. It's short but extremely powerful.
Left a deep black impression on me...

GreyShorts said...

Any song that involves Kanye being beaten up and suggestively killed is a great video to me .

taqo said...

Asma - Nice. But you could have left an actual comment that had to do with the post! Biatch.

Skittles - I'm going to download the movie el 7een :p

Mocha - How come? :p

Uber - The book was definitely one of the best I've read in a while :D (even though I haven't read many...lol.). Thanks =$

Sexy Cow - Shaklah this book has a lot of fans :p Keep yours coming too ;D

Juju - LOL. The whole Mizuage thing is just freeeaaky :| Imagine having to do that. Wtf, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a rice cake :p
I wouldn't say I'm that interested in psychology, but I'm not not interested it in either. I'm neutral I guess :p Heard a lot about "Lord of The Flies"! I'll read it :D

Grey Shorts - Hahah! I agree :p
I have a love/hate relationship with him :|

Mochness said...

I recommend Lord of the Flies, too.

Geisha didn't leave an impression on me. It's not that bad, nor is it that good.

Woozie said...

^ Oh, Lord of the Flies was fantastic. Goes really deep into human nature if philosophy's your thing.

Woozie said...

And I'm doing Ask A Black Dude this weekend so don't forget your questions :)

ammaro said...

well, pregnant women do have the whole terrorist attitude thing going on, you know, always grumpy, mad, pissed off at the tiniest things... whatddya know...

taqo said...

Mocha & Wooz - Will read it :D

Ammaro -Lol. Now thats not nice! We'll see how happy you'd be with a big lump on your front for 9 months. 3uthr'hum! :p

Mochness said...

Tell me once you do =)
