The Week
I Picked up The Week today (june 21st issue), and as usual its filled with delightful insights into Oman's quirkiness. Theres a bunch of things worth mention.
Its always interesting seeing people you know in the Week, or their fathers, brothers, sisters, etc. I was looking at the pictures of the MPS graduation, and was surprised. Did I look young when it was ME? I couldnt have. I know all of those kids, I cant believe theyre graduating. Theyre still babies in my eyes. That guy in the middle still looks like his sister. The boy next to him still looks nothing like his brother. They still look much younger than we did.
It makes me feel old. Maybe I DID look that young, maybe its just when I look in the mirror now, I dont realise how much I've changed. Has uni scarred me so? Has it crafted these lines on my face, the coldness I see in my eyes? *sigh* Being poetic can be fun...
Secondly, the madness of the cinema. The Devil's Rejects? Its not exactly a new movie for it to be on the main screen in Bahja and Ruwi. But thats fine - a few years back we were used to waiting 6 months to get movies. Thats not the point - THE DEVILS REJECTS? I know 'A Woman In Black' has seen this movie, and well you may have enjoyed it AWIB, but you cant disagree with me here - theres little point in showing this movie in the cinemas here. Half of it would be censored. And whats not censored, well, its gruesome. Not only that, its...ugh. See, silly teenage kids would go about saying how cool this movie is, because its 'cool' to be disturbed or disturbing. And okay, I can appreciate it as an indie movie. But I just think its madness to show it on the main screen in the cinemas in OMAN. Remember, this is OMAN. Its just...not cool. Retards.

Time flies :)
I was waiting for you to reply :D
yesterday me and a friend were talking about songs, and this song Cotton Eye Joe came up. I think thats the most famous song ever for me. Forget everything that came after it - for me, this is the DEFINITION of a hit. I dont know when it came out - I was young. But the fact that I remember that every single person I knew at the time was singing it and obsessing about it, and the fact I remember the tune, the words, even the video - thats something.
Too bad I cant stand the song itself.

That same conversation where we were talking about Cotton Eye Joe, we started talking about Scatman as well! Scatman was funny, never really got into his music (there was this one song about the Louisiana which was ok though)...I heard he had a lisp before, or a stutter or something, which is interesting.
