irrelevant & random-2

Am in the zone. The writing zone. The ideas and words are flowing due to deadline is due, I-have-a-meeting-with-my-professor-today-and-I-better-come-with-any-show-of-progress zone. Wish I can be in this zone waaaay before the deadline.

Sort of fed up with saint oprah. Well, yeah, she's THE most (known as) generous woman in the world. But being one of THE most powerful women in the world, I think she can't help but act like one. Remember the hermes ruckus that made one of them bosses crawled into her show 'explaining' what happened? I've just read another story which she made an author 'talked' in her show about his lying in his 'autobiography' which she defended and promoted. You don’t mess with saint oprah. NUH-UH!

Which came first: egg or chicken?
Which came first: nosy indonesians or our culture that expect us to carry a conversation?
I figured that those nosy questions (e.g. when you will graduated, get job, get married, have kids/house/cars/diamonds/frogs/penguins, naik haji, have son/daughter in-law, have grandson/daughter, & so on) are usually asked during those dreadful basa basi session with people who's ties is close enough to think that they have the right to asked them but not enough to know that they actually DON’T! why can't they talk about impersonal things like the weather? It surely can lead to heaps of interesting topics. I'd rather be quiet than be bombarded by those personal things, for the sake of not offending them by replying 'that’s none of your bloody business, twerp!'

I just have to get this out of my system.
I wonder why it is just human to feel good knowing that you are better than most people in a subject. I read a post, written by a highly sarcastic person (his writings showed that, although I don’t know him in person thus does not necessarily means that's how he really is), about a woman who ignored her kids to concentrate on reading a 'very important book' which turned out to be those guide books on easy peasy subject. He thought the book was by some 'heavy' writers (he named few). I remember my posting about fashionista and philosophers and I shudder.

Money can't buy intelligence. However, what is intelligence for if one uses it to mock other people? If one uses it only to feel smug & better about oneself? However, some people are particularly dense and shallow one can not help but think that those people are there to make others feel superior about certain matters.
How can one find balance between being nice without having to bite one's tongue and bored others?
How can one be edgy & witty without mockery?
Hm.

I think I'm destined not to be stylish & fashionable. When I had money to spare for clothes, I was not 'anatomically correct' (according to those retailers sizes that is ;p). Now that I like my body shape better, I have no money to spare!
