Decisions are (SURPRISE!) HARD.

It is always sad and at the same time utterly vexing when one's trusty electronic companions decide to give up the ghost and slowly die. As in the case of my dear pink 6GB Ipod mini, long has it served me (since late '05 I believe??). For some reason the sound is only coming through one earphone, something I thought had to do with my current ones, but even after changing them the problem persisted... And as it was, wandering through Central Airport Plaza yesterday also lead me past the Apple store, where I checked the prices, and lo and behold, a black 80GB Ipod classic is now around 9,400 baht! SO CHEAP, I was shocked. Compared to the 239 Euros/11,472 baht for the same model in Saturn in Wien, I would be saving quite a bit of money. For some reason I had always though the price to be lower in Wien? Nevertheless, my desire to get one now is muchly intensified *YEARNS*
... And the math of the state of my personal finances actually works out, if I just refigure what else I still want/NEED to buy from my time here, which, if I am totally honest is not THAT much. (Must always tamp down on urge to get MOAAR DVDS and ahh, maybe I should postpone the purchase of a guitar hero guitar console, AGAIN. There is never space!) Got the 200 USD/ 6,000 baht Ma gave me (ahh so generous ;3;), can probably beg some more cash off Dad and I still have the 1,900 baht check that BK Mag gave me when I finished my internship that I could cash in. And some backup money on my ATM account, I think... Man, I think I need to get a job in Wien for the sole reason that actually stone cold calculating how much money I could ask for from each parent to buy stuff like this that isn't exactly Uni-related or a Neccessity like FOOD or WINTER CLOTHING makes me feel uncomfortable and kind of GUILTY like woah. >_>;;;;

In other news, the weather in CMai remains annoying, as it keeps raining in the afternoons, especially on the days where I really want to go TAN myselfff. A tan is slimming! And would hopefully distract from the dreadful state of my face atm, was using Ma's NARS brand face cleanser and I was apparently allergic to it, as I proceeded to get the breakout from all breakouts on my face. It felt like FOURTEEN, all over again :/// Have switched to my usual brand now and the hideousness is slowly receeding. Gahh. Now another brand mah face cannot take, joining the ranks of Bebe, Biotherm and uh, Clearasil (though Clearasil is basically acid that everyone uses at least once when young eh?)

EDIT to add: Lol Migel just called all "I hope someone is not forgetting that we will be going out later tonight.", to which I went "Uh, no?? Am in Cmai right now?" and he was all "But you said you'd be back on Tuesday" "No I said my mother's BIRTHDAY is on Tuesday." "Aww shit, now I went and told everybody and planned shit" "DUDE stop making me feel guilty for not being thereeee, you screwed up" "I neverrrrrrr" etc etc. Man I really wanna go outttt. And it is twice now that I (apparently) cockblocked myself in appearing to these things. NEXT CHANCE I WILL SUCCEED. 

A grabbag of "I do not want to go to bed or be otherwise productive atm"

...okay, I can somehow see how depressing it is that when faced with nothing! of interest! to do this fine evening, I immediately whip out the laptop, even if I had already spent the entire day in front of it, instead of doing something like MAYBE DRAWING  AGAIN SELF, YOU LAZY FUCK or like, even reading the tour-guide book on Prague I bought yesterday. HMM o internets, how large your stake in my soul and mental wellbeing is! I was seriously antsy when I was thinking of the fact that I hadn't checked my mail in GASP two hours lolol not a good sign, eh?

BUT what I had meant to write about since BKK was getting to see Bangkok Dangerous with Migel! Now, we went into the movie expecting something quite shitty that we could spend the entire movie mocking and I was hoping for some nice shots of BKK and a rousing game of "spot the location!" in a place that I finally know quite well, BUT! Surprise suprise, it turned out to be quite fun to watch! Now, my disdain for Nicholas Cage is great, especially in his latter ratty toupee-wearing days and the eyeliner he seems to be sporting in this movie, which manages to utterly throw me out of every serious scene he's in, yet all in all he's an okay lead. The story of a hitman who gains a heart isn't exactly groundbreakingly rewritten here, but the Thai "sidekick" Kong is cool, funny (and HOT), and the bits in the beginning before he warms up to Nic Cage and vice versa are a hilarious lesson in how to say "Fuck you", "Duck-fucker" and "Fuck your mother" in Thai :Dbb Also, the main henchman to the Baddie is played by a platinum-haired Dom Hetrakul, which is like, extra LOLS. But fear not, there are still enough scenes that had us cringing in our seats and slapping our foreheads in sheer visceral embarrassment, because OMG the "romance" between Nic Cage's chara and the deaf-mute local girl pharmacist is so painful to watch (the orig BKK Dangerous had the main assassin dude as a deaf-mute, the Hollywood version obv made some rewrites, though it's still directed by the Pang Brothers). It just hits all the cliches of "jaded farang falls for sweet, docile local chick", and makes it all the more creepy and weird for the even larger lack of real communication gap between them and main assassin dude's stalkeresque courtship. BRR. This movie also feature ELEPHANTS OF METAPHORICAL SIGNIFICANCE! That SUDDENLY APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. DOWNTOWN! EATING MORNING GLORY BY A KLONG! ON A PAINTING! DURING A STREET FAIR! Etc, etc. All in all, the movie is really just a good case of popcorn flair, but it was entertaining enough and I liked the way it was shot, the BKK visuals and locations and the sheer lols for monetary value you get out of it. C-check it out, if any of you guys can!

OH and to conclude on some SPN fannish glee, apparently the internet tells me that JARED  AND  JENSEN  LIVE  TOGETHER NOW???. Oh god, it's like a million J2 RPS fic came true. I just... ♥♥♥!!! SO AWESOME. Also awesome is this picspam of the boys at some Redbull promo race thing, that further proves to me that A)JP is a GIANT HUNK OF MAN MOUNTAIN that begs to be mounted, B) Aviator sunglasses are NEVER NOT HOT, rowr (Jensen has the kind of lameass looking practical sport sunglasses that I have too lol) and C) Hockey jerseys are mysteriously insanely attractive to me. Gahh~
