Where do you get your Ya Ya s to survive?

Its a uninteresting tuesday night Im sitting on my desk with a 1000 page atomic physics text book open at my side. Im distracted, de motivated and although Im not particularly upset , I just cant make myself read the stuff although I know i desperately need to. Its just Im out of Ya Yas.

“Ya Yas” as my dictionary puts is the things we get kicks from. I don’t know how other people survive but I really need kicks to keep on going. And on the unhappier side of the week Im out of it.

Day started uninterestingly with my atom chip experiment with me stringing optical fibers from one optic table to another. I attended two talks today, one extremely relevant on atom chips by Bjorn and another on simulating quantum mechanics with electronic circuits in microwave regime. I came back home but simply cant go on with the studying because I just don’t feel good.

I cant really find an instant feel good solution right now. The Hell boy movie last week did not work and the wedding on sunday did nothing to help it. Hopefully the Dark Knight movie releasing on thursday would do it for me. I have decided to ease on other shallow sources like alcohol and flattery from girls. Trying to lead a good life is really tough. Im out of things to make me feel good. On top of that the summer writers break at hollywood has resulted in all the sitcoms  halted at episode 17 or something.

Hopefully running tommorow will give me a kick followed by dark knight on thursday will help me survive the week. This is what life is for me one movie after the other to just keep on going.

 

Sex and the City or post menopausal women’s clearance sale

I cant stop being bothered by the ads on the TV mobile(singapore buses have tv on them, which are a constant bother and destroy my peace) about the upcoming “Sex and the City Movie, now from the tv screen to the silver screen.” I vaguely noticed a very very old Kim Catrall (granma catrall ..she is 52) eating a nacho like thing looking at a man in the 30s taking a very public shower. Then there is Sarah Jessica Parker asking for a huge closet for her marriage which I think is completely useless because she looks like the scarecrow from the wizard of oz or batman.

While millions of over pampered, insecure women will run to the movie theaters clutching their imitation Louis Vuitton purses with suffering boyfriends who have to be like one of the guys with lot of money and working at wallstreet, some things are pretty clear. Carrie Bradshaw in spite of having all the sex in the Big Apple is always stressed because she lives way beyond her means. I mean common , a woman writing a  silly willy article in the corner  of  a newspaper  page cannot afford so many pairs of shoes(yes i might have watched a few episodes  out of curiousity).  And Kim katrall  who is 52  should really be worried about osteoporesis than her increasing sex drive and  cradle snatching.

Anyway by the unfortunate turn of events, there is a possibility I have to accompany one of my female “friends” to watch sex and the city on the big scree. I sometimes feel like the little bald gay guy who is friends with carrie bradshaw. Its not really “Sex and the City” its just a female version of rocky balboa where very very old women trying to distract people with flashy clothes try to get the last one shot at glory before starting to receive their social security check. Its just a post menopausal clearance sale. Only reason they wear the revealing clothes is to deal with the hot flushes.
