“My Brain Hurts!”

…and so I have this sudden urge to go to a doctor wearing shorts, suspenders, high socks, thick-rimmed glasses and a white handkerchief on my head. And hopefully, after telling this to my doctor, he’ll reply: “It will have to come out, then.”

And then I won’t have to think ever again.

Grr. I’m stuck. I’m stuck in a rut. I’m stuck like a rat in a rut. And it’s the worse time to be stuck like a rat in a rut because the clock is ticking and this deadline is looming over my head and all I can think of is the freedom I’ll have in a few days. But I can’t be free until I actually finish doing this and I can’t finish doing this because I’m…you guessed it…stuck.

Forgive me, it seems that I’m always complaining about my work. I don’t really mean to. It’s just I’m in that mood where for about 10 seconds I think I’m amazing but then for the rest of the day I feel like all I’m doing is crap. No wonder most artists escape to that happy ignorance alcoholism brings. Sometimes I wish I could too, except (1) I hate the taste of beer, (2) I hate the smell of beer, and (3) I absolutelly hate it when I vomit and therefore I try to avoid everything that makes me want to vomit and that includes getting drunk.

Haaaaay…paano? paano na ang pangarap ko maging national artist? haha. wala lang.

…and now for something completely different

7 Favorite Sketches from Monty Python’s Flying Circus 

I haven’t watched the whole series yet, but I have the copy of their Personal Best DVDs which is the next best thing. My favorite Python is Michael Palin but I love all of them. So anyway, here they are:

7 Spam…apparently, this is why we call unwanted emails spam.

6 Lifeboat…why don’t you want to eat me?

5 Dead Parrot…no, no, it’s resting. Look!

4 Nudge, Nudge…say no more, say no more…

3 Spanish Inquisition…nooooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! 

 

2 Argument Clinic…an argument is an intellectual process. waaagh!

1 Fish Slapping Dance…simple, effective and everytime i watch it it just gets funnier.

i also love the Cheese Shop sketch, the Lumberjack Song, of course, The Funniest Joke in the World, The Ministry of Silly Walks, The Dirty Fork, Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook, the Courtroom Sketch (featuring Anything Goes by the other Cole Porter. anything goes in, anything goes out, fish bananas, old pajamas…haha), Confuse-a-Cat, Vocational Guidance Councilor, Albatross, Blackmail, Travel Agent, that sketch with Beethoven trying to compose the fifth symphony while continually being interrupted, The Man who Speaks in Anagrams, Upperclass Twit of the Year…hahaha, okay, so apparently I love every other Python sketch. In fact, I think the only sketch I don’t find funny is The Man with a Tape Recorder Up His Nose which, when I think about it, should be funny but I just can’t get over the fact that it’s gross (especially when it becomes The Man with a Tape Recorder Up His Brother’s Nose.) Why I find putting something up one’s nose is grosser (or more gross) than cannibalism, I don’t know. Most videos are available in YouTube so check them out. You won’t regret it.
