Music for every occasion

Found this gem on fark today.

I think I had a list of music I want to play for my funeral before. Although most of it tends to be Japanese (like Pieces by L'arc~en~Ciel. Gotta love them). Okay granted I can always hand out a translation on the lyrics, but it's not the same. Maybe I should've think about what English songs I can put there.

For a REALLY depressing funeral of course I'm going to pick Trouble by Coldplay. That's one of my favourite song anyway, would be nice to have Mad World there too. But hey, that'd WAY too depressing.

Always Look on the Bright side of Life would be the natural choice. There's always Greenday's Time of Your Life. If I feel particularily evil there's even The End is the Beginning is the End by the Pumpkins!

That brings up a very important issue: I don't even know what songs I want to play for my wedding o_O

All I know is that I'm not allowed to play Bullet with Butterfly Wings.

Stink. :P

/lucky I still have a few years to think about that one.

Yadda Yadda

Desperately trying to concentrate on getting SOMETHING
done. It's harder than it sounds, especially when you
don't even know what you are supposed to be looking for.
There is a goal of course, but it's such a long term goal,
and there's a missing link between where I am and where I
want to be. It's like being told to find Atlantis. How to
go about it? o_O

Yeah after all that whining, it could've been worse. At
least I have a desk in uni and they finally let me into
the office. I thought going into uni would help me work.
Nope.

Ah well, hopefully I'll think of something that'd help. :|
Won't count on it though.

Hmmm...

As I drink my very watered down mocha this morning, there is this sense of melancholy. Not too sure why. Maybe it's because I decided not to go into uni and stay home, or the fact that I was thinking about why I need to go into uni at all.

Low motivation is a constant problem with me. Especialyl when it comes to a long project and during times when it just doesn't seem to go anywhere at all. And when you all think about it, everything we do is pretty much all in presuit of happiness: People want to earn money to make their life better, people want to look better to attract others, various little tricks that we do to make ourselves happy. This whole convoluted way of life is sometimes a bit warped. Although I have to admit that I do get some sense of satisfaction out of research. Knowing that I'm doing something that no one else have done before.

But when it's in a rut, it's in a rut.

Grrrr!! I need to be inspired. o_O

Start of Year battle

Okay. I finally have a computer on my desk... AND a desk!
It's all looking good. Just need to decorate my desk and
it'll feel like home again. Access card STILL not working,
but I can't complain much. :)

Anyway, trip to Pete's bach was as usual excellent. So it's
all good.

Think I'll try get some work done now. :P

Damn Murphy!!

Day before I'm off for a long weekend with Pete, and I got a sore throat... o_O I'm hoping it won't develop into an all out cold, but I won't count of that. o_O Took a while to actually find time to get away you know... :( really want to make the most out of it.

Other than that.. it's pretty good. Research is surprisingly going somewhere. So I'm happy. :)

I'll update again after I had a nice long weekend at the bach. hehehe :P

Research rut

Every now and then, you get stuck a research rut. Not unlike a writer's block actually. It just happens that there doesn't seem to be anything outcome of the work. A lot of reading and maths playing and nothing can be done yet just because I still don't know what the problem is to start with. *sigh*

In other news I'm taking another long weekend off just becasue I can. I'll try to work a bit there though, at least the easy stuff. Hopefully that'd refresh my head a bit and I can get more done after that.

Exploring Windows

No, not MS Windows. Signal processing stuff.

After actually graphing my result with numbers rather than pretty colours, I realised that it's actually kinda really different from the stuff I get from the toolkit I downloaded. So what am I to do? *sigh* Supervisor suggested that it might have somrthing to do with smoothing windows. SO: Back to reading like mad and soak up as much stuff as I can.

Lisa: the human sponge.

Anyway, apart from that it's not too bad. Uni's now blaming the fact that I haven't paid my fees as the reason why they won't let me into my own office, regardless of the fact that it's not dued until the end of this month. (Yes. This month as in March.) Annoyed. I'm glad I'm not the only one, but really... WTF?

Anyway, back to reading. :\ So much to soak... so little time...
