Tidbits

Did you know that there are people born with Aboslute Pitch, the ability to distinguish all notes just by hearing it, even those inaccessible to the ordinary man? Mariah Carey, Mozart and Steve Vai, has it, to name a few. People with this ability is 1 in 10,000. They also have to hone it at a young age, around 3 I think, or else it disappears.

Cool. What I wouldn't do to have that. Still, I distinguish notes pretty well so I guess I'm not that hearing-impaired.

According to Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_and_the_Chocolate_Factory_%28film%29) there were several other actors interested in playing the role of Willy Wonka (Tim Burton remake): Rowan Atkinson, Brad Pitt (whaa---?), The Rock (huh?), Marilyn Manson... MARILYN MANSON!!! Good Lord. How freaky would Willy Wonka be if he did get the part?

Buti na lang si Johnny Depp yung napili.

Incidentally, EMO PHILIPS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_Philips) looks amazingly like Depp's Willy Wonka. It's the de mehn. De hair.

"I was boating with my sister and I said, 'Hey, do you want to go swimming?' and she said, 'No, I'm on my period, bla bla bla...' She takes all the fun out of shark fishing." -Emo Philips

Something caused an uproar a while ago: Mom left the water running in the bathroom, with the tap full blast. Tapos eto naman ako, nasa computer, naririnig na yung tubig. Well... I was playing Caesar III, tapos medyo umaatake na yung mga Carthaginians sa LOOB ng city ko, so panic panic kaya hindi ko napansin yung tunog ng tubig. Kahit waterfall yung lakas ng tunog. Tipong... nagblend na sa background noise. Anyway, akala naman ng mga kapatid ko na bushfire sa labas. HAHAHA. So... ayun. We discovered Mom's bathroom with ankle-high water, some of it already spilling out-of-bathroom-bounds. What was worse was that the water seeped through the cracks and was already dripping downstairs. Right-o. Mopping everything up was very inconvenient, all the more so because we had no mop. It smelled of WET DOG afterwards.

Misha didn't snooze through History last Thursday, surprisingly. I couldn't be sure of her attentiveness but she read the book (and make circles and marks all over it, which she purposely showed to me, to horrify my OC-ness). She asked a question, which spawned... SOMETHING. It wasn't a debate, but it was suddenly a forum of sorts, though not as alive. Well... or something less than a forum, because I was counteracting her "argument". We were just talking actually; no need for it to get messier by calling it a debate. We ran out of time, so Ms Henson had to postpone the thing.

I asked Mish afterwards "You're not cooking up some sado-masochistic gay love story, are you?"
She lit up, grinned at me and replied "How did you know?!"

Well. Can't say I haven't been through Ja for nothing.

Ok. I think that's enough Wikipedia and Youtube for one day.

You might want to check out www.uncyclopedia.org, courtesy of Misha's insistence. Word of Warning: don't believe anything written there.
