lol. today's pretty ok.

as in... no silent angry phone calls, no guilt-ridden grins through the filtering lenses of webcam, no misleading messages on msn.. today's a sorta peaceful day.

so Sarah went back to malaysia and please remind me to ask her to buy that blue 0.5 pilot Rexgrip pen.

anyways, lectures today are actually quite enjoyable. lol. cant believe that I'm saying that but, owh well.

I found a wake up call buddy in order to initiate the are-you-awake-yet checking system. Was really efficient until someone overslept and missed his 8-9, 9-10 lectures and the other person instinctively close the windows of the 2 naked alarm clocks without even waking up. if Freud is right, man, my subconscious is awesomely powderful!

so yea, went to Baker's Post Conflict class and heard all about his wonderful adventure in search of the family who helped his mother during the Holocaust, only to have his mom tell him that he found the wrong place. anyways, he went to this house behind a cherry tree and this couple served him Pierogi, some Russian food which he described as "dim sim, to put into Australian context". Everyone laughed. but really... Dim Sim isn't ven from Australia. I laughed.

LoL. the story sounded better in the lecture.

Then I went to that Comm and Creativity tute and the tutor was a little fired up coz this guy does not agree to Freud's idea of joke, dreams and slips. According to the tutor (whose name I still duno) Freud relates these dreams, jokes and slips to the unconscious using metaphors and association, like the Famillionaire joke. He used this example to explain incongruent materials and how it's funny. Like by saying, John is a Pig, the metaphors signifies a drastically different ideas that are associated to common idea of pigs, as compare to the literal animal pig. Firstly, I really do now get how a surrealist painting can be seen as a joke. secondly, some jokes are intentional. Not all jokes are like Freudian Slips.

Anyways, there was this once we were making fun of Toan and stuff. I said Toan's as handsome as Prince Charles. like DUDE, this is HILARIOUS k?

because by saying that someone is as handsome as a Prince, someone might immediate draw images of Gustav looking, Derek Shepherd lookalikes... but Prince Charles, as people commonly know, does not conform the the stereotype?

... lol. so tired of explaining. and yes, explaining about the joke does sucks the fun outa it.

ish. late for meeting. byeeee.
