La lala lalalalalalalalalalalamalalalalala...
Hmmm - bored.

I know who I want to be reincarnated as!

I have been trawling the internet thismorning (no particular reason) and came across this little gem. Its a quote from the 2005 remake of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971) aptly named "Charlie and the Choclate Factory".

Veruca Salt: Daddy, I want to go in.
Mr Salt: It's only 9:59, sweetheart.
Veruca Salt: Then make time go faster.

"Then make time go faster." That's her. That's who I want to come back as.
Anyone who can demand that their father bend the very fabric of space and time, throw aaaalll the rules of quantum physics out the window and possibly destroy the universe itself is alright by me.

Plus she's obscenely rich.

Make it stop!

Argh! I have the Final Countdown stuck in my head and I only know one line of it! Oh the humanity!

(although slightly less worrying than if it was the Moonlight Sonata...)

That IS Ironic!

Okay - for want of a better way to spend my saturday morning I'm going to find a good, understandable definition for the word ironic. Here goes...

9.53- searched on google for the word ironic.
9.57 - finished sifting through adds for ebay, porn and smileys and found actual definitions.
9.58 - Found one (1) useless definition:

"'Ironic' is the title of a 1995 song written and performed by singer Alanis Morissette, which first appeared on her highly successful debut album Jagged Little Pill.'

9.59 - Another defintion surfaces:

"A mode of literature in which the characters exhibit a power of action inferior to the one assumed to be normal in the reader or audience, or in which the poet's attitude is one of detached objectivity."

Erm...

10.10 - More definitions surface, all of which simply include the word ironic. Not. Helpful.

10.15 -
Hey, what about this one?

“An Irony is a nipping jest, or a speech that hath the honey of pleasantnesse in its mouth, and a sting of a rebuke in its taile.”
E. Reyner Rules Govt. Tongue, 1656

Mmm - ye olde ironee : p

Right. That's it. I'm going out to do something constructive.

Keep you eyes peeled for any lucid definitions and watch this space for updates!!

-PS - Arnie, you may want to check Jess' addition to the CGF site...

20 to 8

It's official - 7:40 is wa-hey to early to be at school.

There's only so much one can do on a computer when all the game sites are blocked and its too early for anyone to send you emails - even the career ed teacher.

Right.

I'm going to wander around outside for a bit and listen to Gilbert and Sullivan, instead of doing homework : )

Cheers
