<title>&#x22;I Love Thesis-Writing&#x22; Playlist</title>
<description>        Yo, these are some songs that I: Love, currently listen to, thought would make my day, felt would be condusive to write some serious shits like thesis. I titled this playlist &#x22;I Love Thesis-Writing&#x22; on my iTunes simply to boost my mood to get this shit done. You know, I am one of the stupid communication students who believe in the &#x22;self fulfilling prophecy&#x22; paradigm. Anyway, I chose some of these songs randomly, put it on the new playlist folder, and had it automatically shuffled by the iTunes program. Haha. Pretty helpful so far. Let&#x27;s see how long this playlist will last comforting my ear.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;1. Coney Island - Death Cab for Cutie&#x3C;br&#x3E;2. The Joy of Living - Blue Boy&#x3C;br&#x3E;3.

<title>Sehat? Tidak sehat?</title>
<description>Beras di kos saya, dengan pintarnya, diletakkan oleh pembantu rumah ini di laci yang sama dengan sabun pencuci piring dan tangan. Berasnya, meskipun berbeda kantung plastik dengan kantung plastik berisi sabun pencuci piring dan tangan, jadi berbau kedua sabun tersebut. Setelah itu saya masak berasnya dan sekarang, ketika saya makan, tercium bau dan terasa sabunnya! Sehatkah?&#x3C;br&#x3E;</description>

<title>Bagaimana pendapatmu?</title>
<description>    Suatu hari di Ubeha, dalam mata kuliah Seminar Masalah Jurnalistik (Mata kuliah kesukaan saya semester ini, karena tinggal ini satu-satunya yang diambil. Hehe.), ada seorang mahasiswi yang tingkat intelektualitasnya pas-pasan tapi sangat rajin jadi banyak disukai dosen. Sebutlah namanya Mie. &#x22;Mie merupakan mediator sekaligus ketua kelas ini. Karena itu, saya harap semua pertanyaan terkait kelas ini, segala update jadwal, dan sebagainya, berkomunikasilah dengan Mie,&#x22; kata dosen mata kuliah Seminar Masalah Jurnalistik yang terkenal sangat killer di Ubeha, khususnya di fakultasnya. Tak lama...&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mahasiswi x: Eh, lo minggu lalu masuk?&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mie: Ya.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mahasiswi x: Belajar apa saja?&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mie: Banyak banget. Mainly teori-teori yang sudah terlupakan. Hehe.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mahasiswi x: Boleh lihat catatan lo?&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mie: Silakan. *Memberikan laptopnya untuk dilihat*&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mahasiswi x: Eh, gua copy ya.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mie: Oh. Boleh. Silakan.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Mahasiswi x: Elo dong yang copyin. *Memberikan laptop kembali pada Mie*&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Kelas berjalan, Mie sangat antusias dengan dis...</description>

(Maaf, ini pernyataan super-emosional dan super-labil. Ini mungkin karena saya begitu desperate sekarang. Saya yakin suatu hari nanti saya menyadari manfaatnya, kok.) Masalahnya: Sudah hampir satu setengah bulan saya tak kunjung mengerjakan Bab III. Apakah saya sudah menjadi sebegitu pemalasnya?&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Belakangan ini saya lebih fokus ke hal-hal yang tidak prioritas: Teater, menulis, teman-teman, mata kuliah Seminar Jurnalistik, dan TIDUR. Yah, sebenarnya saya tidak begitu malas sampai-sampai tidak mencicil juga, sih. Saya sudah membaca beberapa buku (paling tidak empat) terkait Bab III, yaitu buku-buku tenang teori dan konsep terkait penelitian saya.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Ayah saya, yang selalu meng-update perkembangan skripsi saya, mungkin sudah lebih dari sepuluh kali bertanya, &#x22;Sudah sampai mana skripsimu? Bab II udah di-approve? Bab III-nya sudah sampai mana?&#x22; Sudah lebih dari sepuluh kali pula saya menjawab, &#x22;Yah, Bab III masih baca-baca aja...</description>

<title>Death Cab For Cutie to keep on changing</title>
<description>   Death Cab For Cutie to keep on changing&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; Esther Samboh, Contributor, Singapore&#x3C;br&#x3E; The Jakarta Post, Sunday, August 31, 2008&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; If the person you loved the most changed into an individual that was a complete 180 to what they were when you first fell in love with them however many years ago, would you still love them?&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; If the same question was uttered in terms of music collectives, or bands, then the almighty problem a band faced when releasing a new record would be: People compare it to their previous release(s).&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; Death Cab For Cutie (DCFC), the Seattle-based indie-rock band whose new album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May, experienced that same thing with their new full-length release, &#x3C;i&#x3E;Narrow Stairs&#x3C;/i&#x3E;. Reviews and fans hit hard over what is a relatively drastic change from their previous &#x22;popish&#x22; Platinum album, &#x3C;i&#x3E;Plans&#x3C;/i&#x3E; (2005), toward becoming as dark and experimental as they are on the new album.&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x22;When people become attached to a band or a record, they want that same feeling every tim...</description>

<title>Sigur Ros perform Gobbledigook live with Bjork</title>
<description>This video was taken during the Naturra Concert on June 28 in Reykjavik. The concert - which was intended to raise awareness of the destruction of Iceland&#x27;s cherished natural landscape - was webcast live via the National Geographic web site. (Source: &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCjjgDSJqUI&#x26;#x26;feature=user&#x22;&#x3E;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCjjgDSJqUI&#x26;feature=user&#x3C;/a&#x3E;)

It&#x27;s taken from the Saturday Night Live, a 90 minutes weekly late-night variety show broadcasted live from New York City by the NBC. Here&#x27;s the lyrics if you might want to know. Enjoy the clip and brace yourself! You&#x27;re about to see something really, unexpectedly crazy, funny and impressive all together. Here it goes...

Chris Parnell: We&#x2019;re sitting here today with film star Natalie Portman.

Natalie Portman: Hello.

Parnell: So, Natalie, what&#x2019;s the day in the life of Natalie Portman like?

Portman: Do you really want to know?

Parnell: Please, tell us&#x2026;

Portman: I don&#x2019;t sleep mother f***er

<title>Kejamnya Hari Ini</title>
<description>  Tulisan ini sangat tidak penting dan sangat panjang. Saya sarankan untuk Anda tidak membacanya karena tidak akan ada gunanya untuk kalian. Benar deh, saya saja menulisnya tanpa memerhatikan titik, koma, dan penggunaan bahasa yang baik dan benar. Hehe. Maklum, bosen, ga ada kerjaan. *Loh, bukannya harusnya mengerjakan Bab 3? =p*&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Kisahnya, tadi pagi saya bangun tepat ketika alarm saya berbunyi, pukul 06:15. Mandi dan bersiap-siap dan sedikit membenahi kamar kos baru yang terlalu besar ini. Jam pun menunjukkan pukul 06:55, saya bergegas ke jalan raya, karena kemarin supir bus sudah mengingatkan dengan tegasnya, &#x22;Jangan mepet-mepet, Neng, kalo nunggu bus, ntar ketinggalan. Biasanya sampe sini kurang lima, atau pas, atau lebih lima!&#x22; seru supir bus kemarin malam. Mengikuti nasihatnya, saya pun berjalan cepat menuju jalan raya di mana bus lewat. Seperti biasa, dengan earphone terpasang lekat di kedua telinga.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Sial sungguh sial, yang ada justru angkot yang supir-supirnya, seperti biasa, tidak...</description>

<title>Best lines of Joker</title>
<description>        We may all agree that The Dark Knight is by far one of the best movies in 2008. We may all mesmerized by the acting of Heath Ledger who starred as the Joker, or just simply stunned by the character of the Joker. Here&#x27;s some lines of the Joker that you might want to recall.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;The &#x22;wife&#x22; story&#x3C;br&#x3E;Come here. Hey! Look at me. So I had a wife, beautiful, like you, who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks... look at me! One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can&#x27;t take it. I just want to see her smile again, hmm? I just want her to know that I don&#x27;t care about the scars. So... I stick a razor in my mouth and do this... [&#x3C;i class=&#x22;fine&#x22;&#x3E;mimics slicing his mouth open with his tongue&#x3C;/i&#x3E;]  ...to myself. And you know what?

Jadi ceritanya tadi siang saya ketinggalan bus pukul 14:00 jurusan Karawaci &#x2013; Mal Ciputra &#x2013; Plaza Semanggi &#x2013; Citra Graha karena ketiduran. &#x3C;i style=&#x22;&#x22;&#x3E;It was so close.&#x3C;/i&#x3E; Saya tiba pukul 14:03 &#x2013;menurut jam saya&#x2014;, dan saya masih bisa melihat dengan jelas dari dalam bus yang sedang saya tumpangi, bus menuju Jakarta itu pergi meninggalkan terminal.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;  &#x3C;p class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22;&#x3E;Apa mau dikata. Saya sudah terlanjur sampai di terminal. Keberangkatan bus berikutnya, yang menuju ke arah Jakarta Selatan atau Jakarta Pusat, jam 16:45, yaitu bus jurusan Karawaci &#x2013; Pasaraya Grande. Apa yang harus saya lakukan dalam 2 jam 45 menit di terminal bus Karawaci yang supergersang itu? Akhirnya, saya berjalan ke mal. Letak terminal bus Karawaci memang sangat dekat dengan Supermal Lippo Karawaci &#x2013;persis di belakang mal.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;      &#x3C;p class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22;&#x3E;Berjalanlah saya menuju bioskop 21 dan mengecek film...</description>

&#x22;bentar ya, aku ta&#x27; ngerokok dulu (Tribute to Srimulat)&#x22; mengisahkan kehidupan Gepeng, si pembual yang berpisah dengan ibunya, Arsa, untuk merantau. Dalam perantauannya, Gepeng menemukan Julia, seorang penyanyi dangdut yang mencintai Gepeng dan merawat Gepeng di rumahnya. Namun, seiring berjalan waktu, Gepeng merindukan rumahnya, merindukan ibunya. Dengan hubungannya yang semakin dekat dengan Julia, apakah akhirnya Gepeng berhasil menemukan ibu dan kekasihnya di masa lalu? Saksikan di pementasan ini. (Cie, standar banget ini sinopsisnya. Maaf ya, bikin sendiri. Hihi.)

Pementasan ini digelar dengan mood Indonesia tahun 1980an dengan bumbu lelucon-lelucon ala Srimulat, dan dipersembahkan oleh Pqho theater production dengan pemain-pemain dari Institut Kesenian Jakarta (IKJ) dan sebagainya.

<title>Sondre Lerche: &#x201C;Penonton Indonesia Lebih Ekspresif!&#x201D;</title>
<description>Waah saya kaget. Ternyata tulisan ini ada versi onlinenya! Meskipun tampaknya pembicaraan yang ada di sini cukup singkat, tapi lumayan, lho, saya berkesempatan mengobrol dengan musisi kesayangan saya ini selama lebih dari 10 menit. Hihi. Beruntungnya. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Ternyata manajemennya sangat ribet dan sangat kaku. Tadinya saya sudah mengarah pulang karena katanya tidak bisa wawancara, tapi mungkin panitia dan manajemennya melihat usaha dan niat saya yang cukup ngotot sampai akhirnya hampir satu kilometer menuju rumah saya ditelpon untuk kembali ke Esplanade dan mewawancara Sondre Lerche. Langsunglah saya meminta supir taksi untuk berbalik arah dan langsung pula saya dibentak habis olehnya. Asem sekali rasanya. Tapi asemnya langsung teralihkan oleh keriangan bisa berbincang dengan bang Sondre. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Aduh, norak sekali rasanya kalau diingat-ingat. Saya sampai membawa ketiga teman saya yang berdomisili di sana dan mereka menyaksikan noraknya saya pasca-wawancara; lompat-lompat, tidak mau pulang, membicarak...</description>

<title>Not a birthday letter</title>
<description> This is why I was late last night. Unexpected things happened and I had too much things to handle to overcome those unexpected things. Sorry to blew you off and so sorry that you got sick on your birthday. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Sorry that I didn&#x27;t explain everything to you. It&#x27;s just so hard to speak out when someone, continuously and repeatedly, is shouting at you. I never mind you being like that. Sometimes people say things they don&#x27;t want or mean to say. It&#x27;s important to keep in mind that what matters is how you mean something, not how you say it. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I&#x27;m tired of your self-righteousness and your guts to never compromises. I&#x27;m tired of making mistakes. My heart beats so fast that my body can no longer keep up with the pace every time I hear you shouting or complaining. It&#x27;s like having something stuck within your heart and you can&#x27;t even breathe.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I am not, and never will be, enough. I love you but that alone is seemingly not enough. I&#x27;ve done my best. At least I&#x27;ve tried. I present my gift to you on your 2...</description>

<description>Enggak tahu kenapa, lagi pengen aja nge-post lirik lagu ini. Cihui. Ada yang mau sponsorin (baca: bayarin) ke Singapura akhir Agustus untuk menonton mereka di Baybeats? Huhu.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Here are we, with a view of mountains&#x3C;br&#x3E; Staring at the floor for hours on end&#x3C;br&#x3E; There&#x2019;s a world outside that window&#x3C;br&#x3E; And we&#x2019;re looking at linoleum instead&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; Another sunset passes us by&#x3C;br&#x3E; We used to sit on our arses&#x3C;br&#x3E; And stare into the sky&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; If either one of us could drive&#x3C;br&#x3E; We could drive away&#x3C;br&#x3E; And the times of our lives&#x3C;br&#x3E; Could begin today&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; Look at us: we&#x2019;re atrocious&#x3C;br&#x3E; We make a meal of every meal&#x3C;br&#x3E; And we browse through travel brochures&#x3C;br&#x3E; But the grass grows brown around these wheels&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; Take the tennis ball off the towbar&#x3C;br&#x3E; We&#x2019;ve come a long way&#x3C;br&#x3E; But there&#x2019;s so far to go&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; If either one of us could drive&#x3C;br&#x3E; We could drive away&#x3C;br&#x3E; And the time of our lives&#x3C;br&#x3E; Could begin today&#x3C;br&#x3E; What&#x2019;s there to decide?&#x3C;br&#x3E; And what&#x2019;s there to say?&#x3C;br&#x3E; If either one of us could drive&#x3C;br&#x3E; We could drive away&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;br&#x3E; Some things might have to change&#x3C;br&#x3E; I wish there was some furniture&#x3C;br&#x3E; That I ...</description>

<title>We&#x27;re (not) always left behind*</title>
<description>   Minggu lalu, saya lagi-lagi mengasisteni sebuah kelas yang diajar oleh seorang dosen tidak tetap (visiting lecturer) dari sebuah universitas di Amerika Serikat. Kelas itu merupakan kelas penulisan naskah (untuk media elektronik --televisi dan radio). Gaya (style) pembawaan berita, penulisan naskah, dan peliputan media elektronik kita (Indonesia) memang cukup berbeda dibanding dengan pembawaan berita, penulisan naskah, dan peliputan media elektronik Barat (Amerika, Inggris, Australia, dan sebagainya). Inti perbedaannya terletak pada fleksibilitas. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Gaya pembawaan berita, penulisan naskah, dan peliputan kita masih relatif kaku. Penggunaan kata-kata baku yang sangat berjenjang dengan penggunaan bahasa kita sehari-hari, intonasi yang datar terkesan tak ramah dan &#x22;berjarak&#x22;, dan variasi gambar yang, maaf, kurang. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Sedangkan, gaya pembawaan berita, penulisan naskah, dan peliputan Fox News Channel, BBC, CNN, ABC, menurut saya, lebih ramah dan santai. Penggunaan kata-kata slang&#x26;nbsp; atau bah...</description>
