brooklyn was burning.

brooklyn was burning.

i used to confuse the brooklyn bridge and the manhattan bridge as a child. even though the two of them were a few blocks away from each other, they looked so different to me. the brooklyn bridge looked like it was made of stone [i've got a funny feeling that it is, but i'm probably wrong], while the manhattan bridge was this gawdy blue...suspension bridge. in my opinion, the brooklyn bridge [as well as the queensboro bridge] best represented new york city. they looked classy, classic, yet had this current level of sophistication. they looked good. they looked appropriate. it's hard to describe what i mean. it was just a feeling. yes, i was an idiotic 5 year old. i thought that the brooklyn bridge was the manhattan bridge because it looked...better. more deserving of the name. so sue me. i was five.

though it didn't help that i continued to confuse the two bridges for the remaining four years.

anyway. the last two days have been spent using bittorent [thank you, mr. raymond, for sending me to downloading frenzy hell] to download episodes of the o.c. [thank you, ms. sharona, for sending me to orange county purgatory]. bittorent is fun. i've never really looked forward to downloading something before. i know it sounds sad, but...it's just fun. anyway, asides from that, i've managed to get through a good deal of the getaway: black monday. it's by far one of the coolest games that i've played this year. what's even funnier is how it's slated for a february release. brilliance. i love malaysian piracy. though i probably shouldn't say that too loud.

on the topic of piracy, i will buy an original copy of U2's how to dismantle an atomic bomb. even though i've got vertigo as a download, it doesn't mean that the album goes broadband for me. if there're any other U2 fans reading this...please buy the original copy, and not the bootleg. okay. that sounds like a plea that i'm not supposed to make. call it misplaced band loyalty.

also, try downloading the rolling stones' singles [the london years]. real top stuff. thank God for bittorent.

exams wise...stats was....let's not talk about that.

hrm on friday, rm on monday. wedding dinner on saturday. busy week.

song of the day: wild horses by the rolling stones. because melancholy and retrospection work better with blues-y country acoustic rock. sheer brilliance.
