a new dimension to halloween

after 21 years of sedated existence, i finally attended the a halloween/fancy dress event last week. it was the last formal dinner at trinity college for the semester and a halloween, fancy dress dinner too. it might well be my last formal dinner at trinity since i'm pretty certain that i'll be living off campus next year.
well traditionally, with a theme like halloween, you would probably expect the usual witches, pumpkin heads, ghost, vampires shit. well under the financial and time constraints, i couldn't possibly afford to spend time or money to shopping for a fancy constume. given the above mentioned constraints...hmm, what's cheap, easy to wear, and motherfuckingly scary....EUREKA! the answer came while i was googling for resources on iraq when i came accross this (not for the faint of heart, seriously. not unless u enjoy watching people getting decapitated) who needs mythical bogeymen like the monsters under the beds, vampires or broom riding witches to cajole (or coerce rather) little brats to bed when you have mr bin laden and partners. imagine showing your kid a nick berg decapitation video while explaining to little johnny that the men in masks were sent to punish little boys who refused to go to sleep when it's past bedtime. that should do the trick.


'i hereby decree a fatwa on all trinity residents who stubbornly refuse to attend formal dinner'


'he who refuses to consume dinner has sinned heniously!'


'the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities by the selfishness and tyranny of evil man. blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill sheapards the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brothers' keeper'


'and i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! and you'll know my name is the Lord when i lay my vengeance upon thee!!!'


(gibberish)'DEATH TO INFIDELS! (gibberish) GOD IS GREAT!! (X 20 times)'



'we're back in business' for several consecutive months, the top single of the charts and the most dedicated song on iraqi airwaves is 'Where's your head at?' by Basement Jaxx...hmm i wonder why....




the third annual global terrorist costume exposition fair held in fallujah


now THAT is some scary shit....




Revised Guidelines for sucide terrorists: in light of the recent increasing in the number of botched sucide bomb attacks by our female sucide squad, we've unamimously came to the conclusion that it is the donning of the burqa that makes our mujahideen sisters easily identifiable. in light of this discovery, we have decided in allowing our female sucide squad to blend into the crowd of decadent western infidel heathens, the costume shown in the above photos shall henceforth be adopted as the universal dresscode for all our female fighters during sucide missions'


end of 'terror convention' feast.

As i've mentioned earlier on, i've more or less decided on staying off campus next semester with the rest of my buddies. we're hoping to find a place that can accomodate most of us together or at least in close proximity to each of us. here's the first house that we viewed. it's muthafucking huge. 6 rooms, 2 storeyed. built in 1977, complete with chandaliers and classy dining furniture - all at an unbelievable price of A$575 per week, which roughly works out to be A$96 pax. to put it in perspective, i'm paying A$239 per week now(which will eventually be A$252 per week) for a small room, crap food, and getting pissed off on a regular basis by discourteous cafeteria staff.








located at kings park, complete with serenity, a spectucular view overlooking the swan river, at close proximity to campus, and at an unbeatable price, that seems as good as it gets. i'm cool with the house, especially with the balcony and the backyard, in the words of joel 'imagine what we can do with the house...' Drunken frat parties!! it's gonna be a wet dream come through... less a pool though, unfortunately. but somehow tom feels somewhat 'uncomfortable' with the house if u get what i mean. he thinks the deal is 'too good to be true' and that there's gotta be a catch. he's kinda sensitive to elements that less gifted people like are are unable to sense. well not as far fetched as in the third eye sense, but apparantly as he told us, he went to a housewarming party of a church friend once, and was spooked by the house, and within 2 months the couple shifted out of the house. all for one, one for all, we we can't get him in, we ain't going in. looks like the deal is off. send a eulogy to my broken fantasies alright.
