it's late and i'm done playing with my new obsession, super mario, with as much dexterity in these fingers as i have patience, which is to say; none at all. regardless, i'm feeling a little inclined to comment on something that happened rather recently. for print media class, we were told to analyse a publication i.e magazine and me & sam, being the incorrigible lazy people, picked up the nearest thing, which happened to be catalog. when we were done with the presentation and were just standing around letting the lecturer, [who should you wonder how she looks like, just look up H for Housewife in the dictionary and her face will be right there] tear it to shreds, when she asked the class who knew what catalog is. she would have ellicited more response from tumbleweed and retarded llamas. we were thoroughly appalled that no one knew the magazine. we're not talking about nylon, i-D, dazed & confused or even amelia's magazine, it's just a freaking free local publication which lies around, oh just about everywhere. since there are a couple of auntie-ish characters in class, you'd have thought they would have at least thumbed through a copy, since it's free and all but noooo. the point of this entry isn't to show what purveyors of cool me & sam are, cos if you think we're so, then you obviously don't know us. but tell me, do your worlds only contain cleo, teens, teenage, 8 days, i-weekly? how severe is your tunnel vision? it's wednesday already, which means we're inching towards another weekend, which translates to another school week done with, which also tells me october is near. eep! but more importantly, something tells me there's something up on thurs, but i'm not sure what. what ah sam??

the textual siege.
