Quiet.
The Quiet World
By Jeffrey McDaniel
Source: poetryfoundation.orgIn an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

When it rains, it Apples.
Yes, everything has been GaGa-fied since.. ehm.
No, I’m not a stan, but you can’t deny that her songs are catchy, her style damn fine 
and she’s reviving those old school Euro dance beats like nobody’s business. I’m thankful. Because now I don’t necessarily have to turn to Asian pop escapades anymore to satisfy my shallow needs in that department. (Still do, of course, but that’s not the point here.)
“Born this way” may not mean the revolution for me (that already happened about six years ago, when I laid my virgin eyes upon T.M.Revolution’s bare thighs for the first time), but it fits into my embracing-all-that-queer-entertainment kind of world view. Her Grammy performance of this song got me. Furthermore, I’m sold at the “It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M. Just put your paws up“, oh and the “Don’t be a drag, just be a queen“. There’s lots of fistpumping involved in all this.
But the true meaning of this song I’ve discovered thanks to this interpretation. This boy has just nailed it. Enjoy

Let’s face it, we all QWOP through life
Thanks to a dear French friend (fyi: I have only French friends irl. I’m surounded by the Frenchies. My French is terrible.) I’ve learned about the magic that is QWOP and let’s face it, we’re all QWOPing through our life, most of the time just barely. 
This is part of the beauty and charm of this game that might change your life or maybe even your schedule, when you try to organize your appointments around the hours you will spend playing QWOP.
It’s the toughest online game there is.
You’re QWOP, a small nation’s sole representative at the Olympic Games.
Use the QWOP keys to move your legs.
Ideally you will run 100 metres…
… but our training program was under-funded.
Remember, it’s not about whether you win or lose.
What your BFF Youtube has to say about this.

So you think you can..
With this post I may help you to step up your game in terms of street cred - what TV shows should I absolutely watch 
Right now. Immediately. Here is one of them.
Misfits
I would have loved to start with “Robert Sheehan says that every synopsis of this series is bound to suck.”, but sadly he is no more. As a cast member. Which came to me as one of the greatest shocks in my personal history with TV shows and unhealthy worship of a nasty character; and it could and should be yours soon, too. Hell, he was even trending on Twitter after the announcement.
If you’re in for gritty dialogues, fast-paced story telling, you should stop reading this immediately and start watching Misfits. 
Otherwise, read further.
Heroes could only dream to ever be this cool. Yes, it’s about five misfits who happen to end up doing community service, get struck by a weird lightning and then with superpowers. There is the annoying and bratty Nathan who is a classic favorite. He’s vulgar. And.. You seriously haven’t watched that video I’ve embedded yet?
If I wasn’t such a failure with remembering witty lines, I would quote him once per hour. (I only ever mentioned to do that successfully with Some like it hot, once per day. Quote me on that.)
Then there is the shy Simon, a great counterpart to Nathan’s character. He has the tendency to kill people who find out about their superpowers. Later on he happens to turn out rather buff and sexy. 
Curtis is the third male character, who most of the time reacts in the best way to Nathan’s shenanigans. He’s ultimately the coolest out of them all.
The two ladies are the beautiful Alisha, whose power may be one of the shows weaknesses – you could say it’s very cliché and, I’m not starting the racist debate here. However, in the beginning I was a bit bored by the prospect of no interracial relationships. My expectations turned out to be wrong and later on I ended up more than pleased.
Kelly. Oh I love you. And your Chav accent. Maybe my favorite character, but like with all the really good TV shows, I can’t honestly decide.
Things I also adore: they only make fun of things people can actually be held responsible for, but not about their appearance or their family background.
Unlike Heroes, Misfits doesn’t suck after the promising first season. It gets even better. End of this year season three will be aired. Let’s see how they manage without Nathan.

Hello. Hello.
I’m a nice person, honestly 
But this blog is not meant to be a nice place. It’s to release my InnerSnarky.
All you need to know about me is that I’m a woman in her twenties, hair obsessed, your typical pop culture junkie, netizen since day one and I do have a life. At least that’s what I’m going to try to pretend on this blog.
No matter how I come across on this blog. I do love everything I choose to talk about here. Honestly.
