Liz Lemon-ing (or should I start considering buying a cat?) Part 1
Highlight of the weekend: I went to heaven, I mean the Manila International Book Fair, yesterday. Listening to: “Now We Are Free” – Lisa Gerrard live at Milan (I’ve loved her music for more than 10 years. It speaks to the soul and takes you somewhere else entirely. Whenever I hear this song I am [...]
A Disquiet Follows My Soul..
(Listening to: “I Cut Class” by Christopher Libertino) Now that is one really bad-ass title. No. I didn’t come up with that. I just borrowed one of the episode titles from Battlestar Galactica. But it is true in essence, as a certain “disquiet follows my soul”. Now before I get accused of excessively complaining (which [...]
Rant-o-Lantern
I haven’t written anything at all since December 15, 2010. That is not to say that nothing of import has happened. It’s just that I’m either too busy to write anything or I can’t seem to pull my thoughts in order. So, why am I writing now? For one thing, I have a splitting headache, [...]
Insanity runs in my family…
..it practically gallops. Another very appropriate quote would be “All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.” Anyway, just a quick look at my day so far. Let’s do it ala Bridget Jones. 5:30 am – Got home after a rather “hectic” shift. Checked phone (which was left near the [...]
I suppose this would be a bad time..
…to get pregnant. That is why I’m crossing my fingers in the mean time. I’ve already told two of my closest friends, just in case, and they promised to give me their full support. Whatever happens. Oh, the miracle of friends. Anyway, I’ve been feeling weird lately (I mean, I really am weird but let’s [...]
…stranger in my midst…
Listening to: “Desert Rose” – Sting (w/ Cheb Mami) Reading: “Wolves of the Calla” by Stephen King I have just finished watching another excellent movie (see poster on the left). It’s basically a “vigilante” story, but much, much more than that. “There’s no going back to that other person..that other place. This thing..this stranger; she [...]
(Read or Die!) and other observations
Listening to: “Yeroushalaim Chel Zahav” (Jerusalem of Gold) – John Williams (Schindler’s List OST) Reading: “The Little Friend” by Donna Tartt; “Twisted 8″ by Jessica Zafra; “Jarhead” by Anthony Swafford Have you heard of the phrase “Reading Addiction” or perhaps “Literature Abuse”? I found this rather amusing website detailing this “phenomenon” – America’s Hidden Problem; [...]
“the girl who was…”
Listening to : “Promise” by Akira Yamaoka (SH 2 OST) Currently Watching : “Turn A Gundam” (on the 30th episode as of yesterday. Besides the “unusual” opening and ending songs, I like it. More politics and very minimal romance – only very “minuscule” hints. More conversation and less “grandiose” fighting scenes.) Just doing some random [...]
…turning “hikikomori” or just a”twixter” perhaps?
Listening to: “Unrecorded” by M83 (a really nice piece of electronica, from their album -> Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts ) Just check out the entire article on Wikipedia –> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twixter (the western counterpart) “…phenomenon of reclusive individuals who have chosen to withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of [...]
