This was weird, but I think the Duke will appreciate his abs, and the mood, and the weird weird voiceover. Apples peaches pumpkin pie indeed.

Rocky Horror 2006
As promised, here are pictures of me cross dressing for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was SOOO MUCH FUN!!! Although with people shouting things at the scream every other line, it was hard to hear what the movie was saying. I'm glad that I finally got to see the whole thing to the end, because Twill, do you recall whether or not we acutally finished the movie when you had the Halloween party that one year?
Anywho! I was supposed to be Magenta, the maid, but as you can see, I'm not that close... I look like a really creepy Mona Lisa, or a very slutty secretary. It was kinda funny because they have a costume competition, and when it came to Mangeta, there were like eight other GIRLS (NO GUYS EXCEPT FOR ME!!!) who looked a lot more like Magenta... they actually had French maid oufits on! Agh! Oh well, at least I know what to buy for next year!!!
Oh! btw... for that night, I was known as "Margaret", which was the girl name the guys gave me.

Desperate Housewives Pose!!!!! GASP!!!!
Reitmans' commerical pose!!!! CUE MUSIC!!!
Haha... and there are the pictures of me cross dressing!!! Hope you all enjoyed! Btw... no one better blackmail me with these pictures!!!! Or else.... cross dressing Rubin may just have to come and KILL!!!!
In Theatres Now: Rubin: the Musical Life Story
Haha… I must say that my list will probably be like Natrix’s too: total randomness! And I kinda cheated… I used my MP3 player instead of media player :P.And now… to the music!
Soundtrack of Jason’s Life
Opening Credits: Twelve Girls Band – Miracle (lyricless)
A very elegant and energetic song mixing traditional Chinese instrumental music with Western pop.
Waking Up: Twelve Girls Band – Ruten (lyricless)
Same as above, although it provides an extra touch of musical zest and energy, a nice symbol of young hopes and youthful energy.
Falling in Love: Sergio Mendes featuring Jill Scott and Will.I.Am. of the Black Eyed Peas – Let Me
A song about sitting by the stream, laughing and sharing dreams, being true friends until the end and holding hands… I know, I know, I’m a hopeless romantic.
Fight Scene: Madonna – Sorry AND Black Eyed Peas – Shut Up
Hey sweetcakes, you know it takes a lot for me to get angry… but when we’re both pushing each other’s buttons… watch out! And don’t even think of saying sorry because “I’ve heard it all before”! (Sorry… I couldn’t pick between these two songs)
Breaking Up: Gwen Stefani – Cool AND Boston – More than a feeling
You know that I don’t hold grudges easily… go and be off… I’ll be happy to see you with someone else that makes you happy, but I’ll miss you nonetheless and I’ll always remember the good times we’ve had together. (Again, I couldn’t pick between these two songs)
Getting Back Together: Shania Twain feat. Mark McGrath – Party for Two [Pop remix]
Hey! Glad to have you back with me! Let’s have some kinky fun in the privacy of our own home!
Secret Love: Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland – Promiscuous Girl
Hehe… how dirty I feel, my dear, with your teasing…
Life’s Okay: Madonna – Ray of Light
Ah… life’s hectic but good… Like a ray of light, I’m FLYING!!!! :D
Mental Breakdown: Dust Brothers – What is Fight Club?
Oooo… creepy song that sends chills up my back!
Driving Flashback: The Carpenters – Yesterday Once More
*Sigh*… How I miss those years gone by… the people and the places…
Partying: Black Eyed Peas – Pump It and Sergio Mendes feat. The Black Eyed Peas – Mas Que Nada
WOOO! Go crazy dancing!!! Hips thrusting, heads bouncing, bodies moving!
Happy Dance: Black Eyed Peas – My Humps
Hehe… I don’t think I need to explain…
Regretting: Sarah McLachlan – Fallen
Oh… all those bad things that I’ve done… they’re finally catching up to me…
Long Night Alone: Mary Hopkins – Those were the Days my Friend
*Sigh*… How lonely I’ve become… Where have all those friends gone?
Final Battle: Chemical Brothers – Psycho Boy Jack (From Fight Club)
If I’m going to go down, I’m going to go down fighting!!!
Death Scene: Nightwish – Nemo (Orchestral version)
*Gasp* Not now…. So many things left to do, so many things left to do, indeed…
Close Credits: Bolero – Closing Credits of Moulin Rouge
It’s been a great life, let’s go out with a bang, but in a classy manor!
Indeed... pretty random, much like Natrix's. Thanks for the original idea, Twill! It was fun to browse through my music collection! Lots of songs that I didn't even know I still had on my MP3 player!

Sex Bomb
Who isn't turned on by this at the end?
http://www.youtube.com./watch?v=c1T61vX4wm4
although his predecessor was my absolute favorite, with the face of an angel.

although his predecessor was my absolute favorite, with the face of an angel.
I predict total randomness....
First off: Twill, I love that Running One came up for you to begin the tale! XD
Anyway, I'm just gonna load up my media player and zip through my playlist and answer Twill's questions. :) However, thinking about what kind of music I listen to, even before I begin, I predict this: total randomness that will make very little sense!
Soundtrack of Natrix's Life
Opening Credits: Chris Spheeris - The Arrow (lyricless)
A promising beginning. Hope my life is as interesting.
Waking Up: Enigma - Dreaming of Andromeda (lyricless)
Guess I don't want to wake up yet...
Falling In Love: Front Line Assembly - Existance
Wow. A song all about inevitable destruction, and how we can never prevail. Not a good sign here!
Fight Scene: Paul Romero, Rob King, Steve Baca - Dirt (lyricless)
What a slow fight this is going to be, amidst green rolling hills and such. >_>
Breaking Up: Metric - Handshakes
For reasons of money, then, maybe?
Getting Back Together: Mogwai - Waltz for Aidian (lyricless)
Sounds depressing and gloomy. Prospects bad at rekindling a flame. Then again, it sounds tender, too.
Secret Love: Mogwai - Hunted by a Freak (lyricless)
Yes, I secretly loved being stalked... o_O
Life's Okay: Pale 3 - Running Two
This is rather life-affirming--"never never never never letting go, never giving up, never saying no, just go, go, never looking, never thinking, just do, do, do the right thing!" I like this. :)
Mental Breakdown: Mogwai (again? Of 602 tracks?) - How the Dogs Stac (lyricless)
It does sound a little...degrading towards insanity in a monotonous sort of way. I'll probably be driven mad by deadlines here, and the constant grind I'm under.
Driving Flashback: Front Line Assembly - Intelligence Dream (lyricless)
An odd flashback. Sounds paranoid and artificial, and I'm not either, hopefully.
Partying: Smile.DK - Dragonfly
All of Smile's songs are dancey / party-like! Good to know my idea of a party song is, uh, well, a Europop dance song.
Happy Dance: Mogwai - Team Handed (lyricless)
Nothing happy about this--it's plodding and contemplative. :( If this is really my happy dance, I'm a sad, sad man.
Regretting: Delerium - Twilight (lyricless)
I suppose I'll be mulling over something late into the night. But from the sounds of it, I'm having these regrets out in an African or Amazonian jungle somewhere, in the middle of the night. XD What the hell am I doing?? Run, seek shelter, survive!
Long Night Alone: Jeremy Soule - Temple of the Forgotten God Entrance (lyricless)
It's lonely indeed, but a mystical sort of loneliness? No idea.
Final Battle: Front Line Assembly (due to them having a billion albums, yah, I'm not surprised they're showing up so much) - Vanished
Not a fighting song at all, unless my enemy is some guy I really understand and sympathesize with, but hey, there's not enough room in town for one of us...
Death Scene: Mythos - Sirens (lyricless)
Sweet, sirens are mourning me, and their wailing is rather epic! XD Haha, but what I was hoping for here was Delerium's "Resurrection." ;)
Closing Credits: Paul Romero, Rob King, Steve Baca - Academy, Order (lyricless)
I don't get it.
I was right about the randomness. :( A lot of my lyricless / soundtrack items decided to rear their ugly heads for this questionnaire.

Soundtrack of my life
A friend gave me this neat exercise/fun thing for blogs and journals. Simply set up your prefered computer media player with all your music in the playlist and set it to 'random' or 'shuffled.' Then, as the songs play, write them down along side the heading for whatever part of your life's movie is in the list. The results can be rather fitting.
Soundtrack of Twill's Life
Opening Credits: Run Lola Run - Running One
Neat. The mood is set as something kind of urgent, potentially action-oriented. The credits are running.
Waking Up: The Used - Cut Up Angels
So, I wake up depressed. Or perhaps this is foreshadowing as to what my movie will be like. It's catchy, though.
Falling In Love: Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down
LOL. This is good. Oh the innuendo...
Fight Scene: Bad Religion - Epiphany
A fight over 'right' and 'wrong.' Awesome.
Breaking Up: Garbage - You Look So Fine
So I get dumped. Dang.
Getting Back Together: The Rubettes - Sugar Baby Love
XD Breakfast on Pluto happy song... Well, I think it definitely sets the mood.
Secret Love: Gravitation - Super Drive
Japanese song. Hmm. Certainly happy enough, and about bumping into someone and falling in love. It bodes well, I think.
Life's Okay: Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor
Normal life for me obviously entails either a busy schedule or crazy dancing.
Mental Breakdown: Good Charlotte - We Believe
Rather sad. I guess it's a depressed breakdown.
Driving Flashback: Panic! At the Disco - Build God, Then We'll Talk
I'm thinking about crappy love and life. Greeat.
Partying: They Might Be Giants - Man It's So Loud In Here
This is a rather good song for partying. Techno-y, rock-y and with a good beat. Also about a party, which is a bonus.
Happy Dance: Hedley - Johnny Falls
I guess by 'happy dance' it means 'dance expressing anger over lost love.'
Regretting: Darude - Bittersweet
The title is fitting and the song itself suggests that I have a sleepless night or some other lonely moment of thinking.
Long Night Alone: Smile.DK - Future Girls
I'm going to take this as my thoughts go 'round and round in circles' as I think of the future (nevermind that it's fairly upbeat). Or maybe I'm working at making myself feel better. *shrug*
Final Battle: Mad At Gravity - In Vain
Trying to find meaning, feeling everything is pointless, numb... I'd say it makes for a good battle scene.
Death Scene: The Land Before Time - If We Hold On Together
Sad. If one of my love's and I had just stuck together, I probably wouldn't be dead.
Closing Credits: Gackt - Illness Illusion
Another Japanese song. Fittingly, it's about lost love and the end of the world.
See how fun that was? Why not give it a try!

Look! It's a bird! No, it's a plane! NO! It's RUBIN CROSS DRESSING!!!!
Haha
I can see that activity on WIBOM has died.... I guess everyone else is busy being hounded my midterms. I too have my share of midterms.... I got back my History midterms and I did awesome! 90% YAY!!!! Poli Sci was today... and I think I did fairly well... although next week is CHEMICAL HELL!!! MY TWO CHEMS!!!! AGH!!!!! BENZENE! CONJUGATION! TITRATION! KETO-ENOL TETORMERITZATION! AGH!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE (haha... I'm so bitter....)
But I have some things due tommorrow as well... so... I'm just gonna make this quick... As you can tell from my title, I'm going to cross dress.... why? four words.... Rocky Horror Picture Show.
My friends and I are going to see it in the theatres and particpate in this cult classic! All my friends are dressing up with my guy friends being the female characters and my gal pals being the male characters! A whole bunch of us went shopping at the Salvation Army Thrift Store today and at Army and Navy, a random discount department store. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!! Total reversal of roles.... the guys picking out pantyhose and the gals picking out boxer shorts. It was awkward too... all the dirty looks being thrown at us from random shoppers. It was kinda hilarious too because when one of my guy friends and I went to pay for our pantyhouse, they had the do a PRICE CHECK.... my friend and I were like "Uhhh... GET US OUT OF HERE!!!!"
By the way! I'm happy to report to you all that I'm a size 10 (all that dieting over the summer sure paid off!) and that my clothes are very slimming.
Not to worry everyone, photos to come!
~Rubin
PS
For those of you who are loathing midterms, join a new inter-university student group, called FIGHT MIDTERMS! Our motto is: "REVOLT! REPEL! RELAX!" It now has three universities! UBC, U of A and U of Western Ontario!

101 most influential people who never existed
the title is kinda self-explanatory, but i don't agree with the list obviously, it doesn't even have luke skywalker or darth vader. and batman is ranked ahead of superman! But it does have Buffy, so i am contented. But I fail to see how influential Oedipus is, except as a cautionary tale I guess. One of you guys should be happy that Odysseus is on the list.
http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-10-16-influential-people-list_x.htm
http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-10-16-influential-people-list_x.htm
Alas, there is still air in my lungs
Alas, the world has not yet come to an end, and the midterms are flying by. I have always wondered when we will come to the point where there are flying cars and "giant wasp"seasons (just like in the episode of the Weekenders where that try out careers)....perhaps few of you find satisfaction in such creations as Fillmore, Lloyd in Space and on the odd occassion, Recess.
I just slept through about the 5th genetics class...and I have no idea what a virus is never mind how they work. The exam's next week.
obsidian butterfly:The dancing stuff sounds interesting. My ballroom experience ended tragically when i came to the ultimate conclusion that all men are perverted....save for the few, and you knowwho you are.
Starwing: No that I've come back to my senses....DON'T ever ask what I want for x-mas when there's still decent weather out....we must be thankful for not having to worry about the x-mas drones too soon.
And to the others, i apologize for not reading the blog for...months....but post something soon so that i know how things are going....esp duke's school updates. On another note, I haven't seen a movie since god-knows-when, so i have nothing exciting to add to the never ending comments posted by obsidian butt..fly. There's no amusement in my life as I have taken up the sport of emailing my brother insults and dirty jokes...(mom's out of town....doubt I'll eat properly for the next 10 days)

I feel like Dancing!
Just in case you didn't know, I've taken up ballroom dancing.
Highly useful and whatnot. My partner is such a wonderful guy. We just learned the Tango tonight, and it was spectacular. All those turns. And the teacher said we were bloody good, okay, without the bloody.
I too have midterms, so I understand everyone's pain. Good luck everybody, just remember that it'll be over soon and then there's finals. Ha. I kinda wished it was Daylight savings today.
To the Duke, I saw the unaired Aquaman pilot the other day. Scrumptious. All the naked flesh swimming around in the ocean. Then he appeared on Smallville, doing somekinda handstand half naked and sweaty. Too bad you missed it. You can't miss this week's episode where he shows up in leather and on a motorcycle. LEATHER! Too bad he's married Jason and has a kid. You can't seduce him away from his soap opera wife Theresa. She'll drown you in her tears.
A while ago, saw the Eragon trailer, looks like a Lord of the Rings wannabe but with an ugly lead. I'd rather stick it out for the Golden Compass which I didn't even read, but has Nicole Kidman and James Bond. Which I saw the new trailer for, and he does look kickass, and all sensitive and unrefined and in love. I don't even care that he's blond.

Friday the 13th
It's Friday the 13th. And I have a midterm today.
Makes me want to watch Hitchcock movies. But no, must...study...and find shamrocks to pin on myself.

Makes me want to watch Hitchcock movies. But no, must...study...and find shamrocks to pin on myself.

Shiny Pretty Things
Apparently, good movie are coming out that aren't called The Fountain and The Prestige.
Just say no to evil nazis.
So pretty, I highly recommend it to my tiny friend, I forget what I'm supposed to call you, Starwing girl. But since she's never on, I recommend this to Noodle Gilgamesh because of the images and all you others too if you like freaky things. I mean, even Ebert's good comments, the way they presented it, was kinda freaky.

STOP THE INSANITY
No, I don't mean all the terrible things in the world going on right now, oh may Tom Cruise save us from the bad e.coli and spinach gone wrong, and the nuclear bombs from North Korea, although it would be good if we were saved from that.
I mean the bloody pipes in my bloody wall in my bloody room. I want to physically smash my head into the wall, and rip out the pipes. At first it was just every once in a while, that I could deal with. But right after Thanksgiving, it's been non-stop, rattling, banging, creaking, sounds like cockroaches times a bajillion. I'm going insane, just when mideterms start. Somebody give me a sledgehammer.
The nordic gods I think have retired, so I've just taken to admiring cheekbones and lumberjacks.

Because No One's Said It Yet...
Happy Thanksgiving!
(okay, it was alluded to with talk of turkey, but it wasn't actually said in so many words)
I hope the holiday weekend finds everyone well and basking in the joy of an extra day to the weekend :)

Tonight we dine in hell...
Still homesick, but what can you do?
I was cheered up after watching this glorious glorious trailer
http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/300/trailer1/
Who doesn't want to reenact the battle of 300 between Sparta and that other people?
Much more interesting than Sin City. And it has mist...
p.s. to the Duke, just saw Justin Hartley in Smallville, and he is scrumptious, he actually kinda looks like Lex with hair, but a bajillion times hotter.

Turkey Cravings
I'm so homesick, it makes me even want to eat turkey, even though I don't even like turkey. I hope you guys fully appreciate how close to home you guys are. Have fun to those who are going home for the weekend. Stuff yourself with as much as you can. Make it stop raining. Let us all pray to the big Turkey fairy for it to stop raining. Stop the insanity.

Happy Birthday, Twoonie. Sorry Your Name's Gonna Suck.
Please, for the love of everything that is cute, vote for Wilbert under "Name Our Polar Bear":

Having a bear named "Churchill" is just wrong.

All hail Stephen Colbert!!!!
Haha... now I know I've said previously the I'm not a particular big fan of Stephen Colbert. But when a couple of friends and I were engulfed in political discussion last night, I saw a video of him and I have a very deep new found respect for him.
Bascially, Colbert was invited to a White House Press dinner, with all the politcial and media big-wigs there, INCLUDING President Bush himself. And what Colbert basically did was, for TWENTY FOUR MINUTES STRAIGHT, was to power-slam and basically, throw s**t into Bush's face IN PERSON. If you especially know all the current events that Colbert is reffering to, it's even more funny (which is why I found it laugh out loud HILARIOUS!).
Even more so, Colbert intended his speech to be funny. But because of the atomosphere of the whole place, there were mere chuckles and giggles here and there (while my friends and I were rolling on the ground in laughter) and some parts where the audience just dosen't laugh. But Colbert keeps going!!!!!! Two things I know about acting: 1.) It takes BALLS (pardon the expression) to stand up infront of a crowd of powerful politicians and slam them into the ground in person on live national TV and 2.) It takes even more balls to keep going when the audience isn't laughing.
So ya! To continue with the huge slew of videos from YouTube, here are the three links to watch the whole thing. Bear in mind, it's about 25 minutes long.
Part I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_r1Rp3C6so
Part II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8zWYMGedwk
Part III: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1k4-Hb4sY4
So afterwards, my friends and I kept on watching snipets of Colbert and Stewart and I must say that I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL HAIL COLBERT AND STEWART!!!!
Oh! Btw, I also saw Jon Stewart's interview on CNN's Crossfire, where he also slammed the show and the whole dynamic of the show. For those of you who don't know, Crossfire, was a show on CNN where the idea was to have two people representing the left (Democrats) and two people representing the right (Republicans). It was supposed to be a show of thoughtful political discussion, but it always (and quite quickly) degenerated into a slug-fest where the four were just throwing personal insults at each other.
Jon Stewart appeared on the show and slammed them into the ground for "political hackery". It's not as entertaining or funny as Colbert's press conference, but Stewart makes a very succint and clear argument. And in the process of debating with the hosts, he really exposes all the things that makes the show utterly stupid. Here's the link to his video, and this video is divided into two parts.
