that meme thing you do

the fantastic 4.

tagged by tym about 4 days ago.

ain't it weird how tagging people works only if the person being tagged visits the tagger's site? kind of like a paying-it-forward, but with a check-back function attached. that way, you also get to know who [almost] religiously follows your site/blog, and the rest who get tagged but think it's cool to pretend not to bother.

either way, i'm interested to find out how this word is pronouced: mem-me, right? it certainly cannot be me-me, eh? that would sound quite stupid.

does it have roots in the word memento, as in, a 'reminder of the past' (via thefreedictionary)? and i have recently discovered: a definition of MOmento does not exist. funny how i have always used 'momento' while referring mentally/subconsciously/ignorantly to 'memento'.

that movie rocked, by the way. memento. it made tattoos and polaroids suddenly desirable. it screwed my mind.

so. the fantastic 4.

s: hey, but it's good weather to be curled up in bed!

tym: i strive for realism. impressive, no? :D

uh... neopets provides loads of mindless entertainment via their games. great for de-stressing in the midst of, well, anything! you should check it out - an account is not required for playing their online games.

here's my favourite game: the reason i visit neopets nearly e.v.e.r.y.day.

lexie: the westerners and academics tend to exotic-ise this kind of ensemble.

funny how fewer music schools establish their own chinese orchestra, or chinese-instrument-players for a teochew opera.
