a few more
hmm.Do you still blog - I was asked the other day.
Whoa! Well.
Rough updates:
1. Cookie is a brat. He has many names now. But he is a good boy. I'm still working on the new bed part.
2. One evening last week I learned how to run without thinking. Mmmm..
3. They are remastering the Beatles anthology. It is due for release this year. Till then there is always the crack disc from Jurong Point... no Savoy Truffle.
4. The view out of my window will be quite different by the next blog post.
5. I shall promise myself to make the best of every situation too.

a few things
1. paraphrased, on faith - this is often what and when it comes to, regretfully. people wait till then. why wait?will just have to be zen eventually instead of seeking comfort in another belief. or accepting. or resigned. probably all at once.
2. paraphrased, on jogging - feeling like you're ahead of the game.
apt!
3. into stills. and cold energy.
it's really just this blog about breakfast that's kinda chilly.
**
yay just realised i got tagged. so. the above was my most recent draft. yeah it was already a list to begin with. i suppose it makes for a pretty appropriate start. this is going to take some thinking.
**
4. with hope and some effort, maybe next year i can extend this attention span to say an hour and a half?
or maybe stress will do the trick.
5. well ja you have an ex-vanness friend too.
i always feel kinda tranny when my hair's this ex-vanness length.
6. the view out of my window doesn't give me the kind of kick it ought and i don't really get why. considering:
time for red shoes!
7. i had a pretty good slew of msn nicks going on about a fortnight ago, but the well's parched again.
al pacinko's probably been the best of the lot lately. For anyone who's interested, I think it started out as a Scarface reference to a dangermouse dog but quickly degenerated into a separate perv-type thing. Not sure how that happened though. although i do like the one "al pacino has to go!" byebye i got to say.
Aside: the dangermouse dog also happens to be a bit of a perv. youtube cookie humpalot.
8. now, who has fat lips?
i'm trying not to be obvious here.
9. have taken to blanko again!!
you can write me the answer, i shall white it back out.
10. Haven't been this bored in a while. New hobby time.
o. i had to come back to add this:
no ja comma i don't only check when i'm bored.

Construction class was late to begin yesterday, and shawn spent all our time waiting reintroducing me to Both Sides Now, and introducing me properly to Joni Mitchell. I never knew she was this wonderful, and I'm reading her biography (available on her website) in bits. I'll be disappointed when I get to the last section since there'll be nothing else to read. Thank goodness she's still alive; I realise right at this moment that's why it says "1998 - ". At first I thought it was cos the biographer had left his work incomplete.So, Both Sides Now. All the times it's been looped, then alternatively looped, between the older version and the loveactually one. I don't know what to make of those hollow days. I may have spent hours languishing in my room listening to this, or I may not. I don't know where those hours went, it's kinda hard to say. I think I was arrested and bound, and this was such a drug. Or balm.
In the time it's taken me to write these few paragraphs the song's repeated itself, and it's refreshing I don't feel the compulsion to rewind it. I've had sufficient. Well part of me does, but only because it's unparalleled in its beauty. Still, it's about time to finally check her other stuff out.

Another excerpt from the Modern Love columnNot unlike falling in love for the first time, such intense feelings can make you feel small in their grasp. Or, if it’s a good love, a kind one, you can feel the opposite: bigger than you are, braver, more certain of yourself.
