come on baby, don’t let it break your heart

I love the sense of euphoria the intro of this song gives off. Yeah, Mylo Xyloto is steadily growing on me at a slower pace than I had ever imagined possible… haha.

“Mylo Xyloto has a leg up other Coldplay records for this simple reason: they’re no longer attempting to mimic U2′s portentous piety. They’ve embraced their schoolboy selves and are simply singing songs of love and good cheer, albeit on a grand scale that somehow seems smaller due to the group’s insuppressible niceness.” – I couldn’t agree more.

If there was just one thing in this world that I could wish for, it’d be that I will be able to live a life that will never be afflicted by mental illness. The very idea of it scares the fuck out of me.

I’d rather die.

Random realisation of the day – the album art of the deluxe version of the Waking Up album is just a perfect inversion of the normal release.

On a side note, the title track of Waking Up is in my opinion by far the greatest song on the album. I don’t understand why they didn’t release it as a single…

Waking Up, live

Managed to mishear some of the lyrics, too;

My misheard lyrics:
Heaven will rain fire on ya til you’re prayin’
to all of your gods!

Actual lyrics:
Yeah but we’ll rain fire on ya til you’re playin’
all of your cards!

… I like my misheard lyrics more.

Normal:

Deluxe:

for anyone who went “wtf” at my blog yesterday…

I was hacked somehow. Hm.

Annoying, but luckily my host keeps backups. So yay for me!

i’d rather be a comma
than a full stop

After all this time, I think the album’s finally starting to grow on me.

Maybe I’ll go and buy it.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

Blisters: Thumb, palms, feet.
Sunburn: Face, neck, chest, arms, legs.
Arms & legs: Sore as hell.

Still, was a fun and eventful day.
Not going to mention any names, but someone managed to get lost in the middle of nowhere for over TWO HOURS;

I’m a crappy photographer so you can’t tell, but the place is Bidjigal Reserve near Baulkham Hills and it’s MASSIVE.

Two hours spent wandering in the bush (or rather, “in the jungle” LOL). With a GPS. HOW?! Common sense, man…

sounds like me

“I’m not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say “Yeah it works but you’re leaking memory everywhere. Perhaps we should fix that.” I’ll just restart Apache every 10 requests.” – Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of PHP

This sounds like me, so much. Not so much the memory leaks part (I don’t think it’s even possible to cause memory leaks in PHP due to poor programming?), but more the “I throw together things until it works then I move on” part.

This is actually the reason why I ended up giving up on my PHP game (nicknamed MSG). Whenever I wanted to make a change I would have to dig through shitloads of cluttered code. It eventually deterred me from even looking at my code as it was full of hackish fixes EVERYWHERE (non-programmers: think duct tape. lots and lots of duct tape.)

Just flicked through the source code again… and found these golden snippets as examples.

Terrible, terrible weapons implementation. Hard-coded arrays. What the hell was I thinking? If a proper web programmer saw this they’d probably want to rip out my hair. Heck, I want to rip out my hair right now.

loltables. Yet another reminder of how I lack CSS knowledge. I seriously need to learn it sometime. Ugh.
