I am like those three monkeys. The news is so tough to read these last few weeks like a particularly harsh novel. The uncertainty is messing with my head. But I do read every headline. And that leads to more reading.
The world was never okay, was it? I wish I had known this when I was studying history. The 14 reasons for WWI and the 6 consequences of the British winning some war in their conquest of India, that was all bullcrap wasn't it. I mean, the marks cut if you dind't have all 6 points listed come on. It was as mad, as uncertain then as it was now. And to freeze all of that to just outcomes is an unfair rendition. To destroy all the whatifs

In other news, must exercise more. Am losing tone. I shall be nice woffly office worker soon at this rate

Soweta Choir

I lie listening to music in the dark my heart beating heavily to the rhythm
I think about everything superlative and good in the world. Hard work. But so beautiful.
Music is larger, bigger than any person who creates it. I can imagine divinity in it
I don't understand a word but it is happy and sad by meter
I want to be a writer someday but still I can't manage to put together words to describe how I feel. Sigh


The truth is that I am getting to used to keeping radio silence on what I really think and feel and it feels new. I should try more. Even if it is nerdy, absurd, irrelevant it is still me.

Oh my god that lilting theme just grew out of the chorus and all coherent thought flew. Die, die die! in bliss. I offer you all the karma I have to spare, all the goodwill I can pass on, anything in any bank a person can have for creating this.

I can' t let myself sleep. I am so tired but the thought of waiting in bed to fall asleep seems so boring. I need my rest though from this terrible bout of laryngitis. So, here's to a nap

Restless and hungry.
This is my favourite mood. I was not made to be content and happy. I was made to always be curious.
I want the week to start

I was doing my usual wiki trawling a few days or so ago. I was on a page: Judith Binney, a NZ historan. Date of death, that very day, 15th Feb 2011.

All the news people are snitty about Watson winning Jeopardy!
Tsk I say. I think its wonderful news. I am totally for having super efficient AI. And if they take over the world? Well, they'd be too sensible and smart to trash the world (And us :p )
