der aufruf des herzens

This song has always been a fave of mine. If you aren't willing to click the link, it's Aaron Kwok's "Love's Call (ai de hu huan)" Such nice lyrics, very lovely story. What's weird is the disparity between the connotations of the lyrics of the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version. I didn't realize they were almost two completely different songs sharing the commonality of one thing: the call of love. The Mandarin version seems more mellow, a little less passionate, and I guess a bit more sorrowful, if that combo makes any sense. Maybe I'm just really bad at comprehension but that's what I'm getting from it. One thing I love about this song is the melody. It's sort of reminiscent of "Unchained Melody" but much more incomplete, especially at the beginning. You keep waiting for a certain note but it just doesn't come and the music keeps going. There's a name for that but I can't remember it. The first thing that comes to my head when watching this specific video, though, is...Dang, those are some big arse phones! Seriously they're like the size of house phones.

Just watched Better Off Dead by the way. Love John Cusack. Some of the things he says are just so great. I think they're trying to turn Michael Cera into the next John Cusack. Has someone already made that connection? Just Googled it; yes, they have. But I think the two should be kept separate because Lloyd Dobler will never be replaced in my heart. He's someone who is very awkward but has some really awesome quirks, whereas Michael Cera's characters are quirky because they're awkward. Big difference, I says.

Also watched the Hangover last week. Very hilarious. You've probably heard that plenty of times already.

By the way, UP was freaking awesome. I loved it so so so much and it made me cry. A lot. Like buckets. Pixar, you never disappoint.

In other news, I graduated the weekend before this past. 'Twas fun. It was a bummer because I finally made a friend in my major and we were going to sit together and, of course, we were split into separate rows. I got yelled at by the person seating us because I tried to sit in the next row with my new pal. The keynote speaker at the college graduation was amazinggg. He didn't take it super seriously because he was aware that the guitarist from Linkin Park was not exactly the face of the band and that he was sort of a last minute replacement. I thought it was perfect though. He made us laugh and that's better than just throwing out some inspirational words you'll forget within a few hours. He also sang us a snippet from Britney Spears' "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" to let us know it's quite okay not to know where you stand in this world at the moment. Brad Delson. Yays.

In more other news, movin' out of my apartment next week for good. Oh, 204, you were good to us. :(

Boo.

The world is being tough cookies right now. There are bigger things going on than what's going on with me. All I know is that after finals on Tuesday, I am going to start Undie Run a day early. Just kidding. What I will actually be doing is probably cleaning up my pig sty apartment. I'm ready for summer! So ready that I really don't feel like studying for finals...but I must catch up on a whole quarter's worth of stuff. :x

It is rumored that in 2012, all things electronic will be done away with and as much as I love mindlessly writing to no one about my days on this here planet and absorbing useless info from the internet, I am kind of looking forward to it so that all the idiots in this world who can't fend for themselves will be done away with. Only the industrious and astute will persevere. It'll be hard but I think Thomas and I are up to the challenge! I think many environmentalists will be the ones who get the last laugh because they have learned to use their resources wisely.

Heart!

This song popped up recently on crappy radio and I like it! I've always liked the original but (almost) everything is always cooler acoustic!

It's been tough times as the school year is coming to an end (and it'll get even worse due to finals), but I'm just really glad I have wonderful people in my life to help me through it. I am especially grateful when I look at my pink man because, well, he's pretty easy on the eyes. And I guess it helps that I like him a lot and he takes care of me, even when I'm gross and have itch attacks. And he makes my heart all melty and stuff. Teehee. I just want to be able to give to him what he's given to me, especially because we're both having a poopy time right now.

What if...

So, I came across this article today and I couldn't help but get to thinking that the TV show Lost could very well be coming true. I'm not saying this is entertaining in any way, but it is a little more optimistic than what people are saying, don't you think? Maybe I should write a song about it, like what Fastball did about that couple who disappeared for the song "They Way." In fact, ever since I started thinking about this, that song has been stuck in my head.
