I have been feeling very disgruntled with work.
At times, I can feel my rage bubbling dangerously, just skimming the surface. Other times, I want to throw my arms up in utter despair & give msyelf up to tears. I have to suppress it all though, or others may think I'm a complete psycho.
But I can't fight these feelings forever, & I don't know how to make things right. I think I need a sabbatical.

In case you're wondering, I would like vouchers for my birthay this year. Much more convenient right!
Tangs vouchers would be awesome, as I'm looking at buying cosmetics from MAC, Benefit & Clinique, Bobbi Brown & such. :) Robinsons/John Little vouchers are welcomed too! If there are Watsons vouchers, I'll be delighted as well. I'm a fan of Watson & can totally spend an hour or up in the store.
I'll also be happy with movie vouchers & spa treats.
Maybe not so much of HMV or Borders vouchers - I hardly buy TV series locally, & I just recently purchased 4 books.
When all else fail, cash would be very much appreciated. <3 Thank you!

So recently, my favourite song has been All-Time Low by The Wanted. Have never heard of the band, never bothered to look them up but was contented to listen to the song on repeat & have it as my ringtone.
& then Vidz looked them up & guess what? DAMN BOYBAND.
The walk, the random swaying, the zoom-in shots, the abrupt shot of them doing an extremely choreographed dance move...it's all very done to death by the boybands of the 90s like The Backstreet Boys/N'Sync/98 degrees.
But I still love the song, & it really doesn't hurt that they're easy on the eye, no? ;) & they're British! Very chiselled, polished, well put-together British! Which means I have a nose for British byproducts! Hehe. I'm a true blue Anglophile.

A new song of theirs, again accompanied by a very cheesy boyband-ish MTV.
So I've been watching Ok Go's White Knuckles & End Love on replay mode - End Love especially.
I can't help it! The colours, the choreography, the stop-motion, the goose, the look of intense concentration on their faces, Damian Kulash - so much love. & the music catches on! :) The amount of hard work put into their music videos is amazing. First, Here It Goes Again on the threadmill, then the awesome dance (I know the entire dance!) in A Million Ways, the jawdropping Rube Goldberg contraption in This Too Shall Pass, & now these 2 videos. They are AMAZEBALLS.
They're an Internet phenomenon, & they know exactly how to present themselves to the current tech-savvy audiences. The amount of effort put into their music videos is evident - they're mostly one take, & it requires over hundreds of takes before they get one version which they use. Specifically, the one for White Knuckles took 124 takes & this excludes the number of rehearsals. The one for End Love has them filming for hours, & they had to move their lips according to the speed of the of the particular scene. Their dedication to their craft honestly can't be undermined.
Ok Go's videos are mostly low-budget, yet they're really creative & original ideas trumping the current high-budget music videos nowadays which even incorporate special effects & what not. How do we tear our eyes away from the awesomeness of Ok Go? Heh.

You have got to be an ass to not like this.
This too. You're a heartless douche if you dislike this.
