Only on Independent Media

The Malay­sian Insider, des­pite whatever flaws it may con­tain, at least has one brain up (and per­haps the balls of Zeus) on the tra­di­tional main­stream media bod­ies in Malay­sia. Zurairi A. Rah­man has pub­lished an art­icle call­ing out the extraordin­ar­ily stu­pid and self-serving decisions (my words, Zurairi is much more of a gen­tle­man in prose) …

Cab Calloway — St. James Infirmary

Just thought I would share a piece of our col­lect­ive cul­ture, or what is still access­ible for now before cor­por­ate interests man­age to con­vince law­makers for another indef­in­ite exten­sion of copy­right law. Folks, I’m goin’ down to St. James Infirm­ary, See my baby there; She’s stretched out on a long, white table, She’s so sweet, so …

I Will Shave and Do a Leg Wax for Money

Evid­ence sug­gests the incent­ive for los­ing my hair was too low and the pro­cess not humi­li­at­ing enough for my own cam­paign to raise money for SPCA-KK. After some hag­gling, I have man­aged to con­vince a poten­tial donor to part with RM 1200 to see me bald and deprived of facial hair, but also to work …

Infatuation

Is annoy­ing. It stuns the mind, encour­ages ration­al­ising, and achieves eco­nomic ruin with a hint of des­per­a­tion in encour­aging fur­ther acts of humi­li­ation and men­tal dis­ab­il­ity. Infatu­ation with Jesus pro­duces the exact effect. I had a rather trouble­some day today hav­ing wasted half of the day because of a mis­un­der­stand­ing in an inter­view I sched­uled …

Being Human

After a long gest­a­tion period, I finally splurged on what is now my most expens­ive book to date, The Annot­ated Sand­man Volume 1, along with another acclaimed mas­ter­piece by Neil Gai­man, Nev­er­where. It is unfor­tu­nate that I did not own a card mem­ber­ship for Bor­ders, which would have provided some dis­counts. Which leads into the …

The Bugle

Highly recom­men­ded pod­cast full of enter­tain­ing bull­shit hos­ted by John Oliver of The Daily Show fame, and Andy Zalts­man of being co-host of The Bugle, and cre­ator of the audio cryptic cross­word fame. A true test­a­ment to the spirit of using lies to tell the truth (to para­phrase Neil Gai­man), this is one pod­cast you will …
