Observations, the little things…

I had a thought the other day. If everyone in the world was a musician, there would be no time for making war. Sure, OD-rates and depression might rise, but hey, overall, the death rate must surely be less.

I watched the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang on Friday night. It was hilarious, I love movies that are sarcastic, and not just for the hell of it, but downright clever and makes me think “Doh! Why didn’t I think of that?” (sorry, such a Homer moment). I also love the irony that a cartoon has named a fat lard of a father and husband after a legendary Greek poet. WoNders will never cease…

Spent the weekend just bumming around the house, with all the blinds down because of this ridiculous heat (I am already expressing regret as I write, because when winter comes, I will come to miss these days when I walk around with singlet & shorts). I feel like a trapped mouse, with no inkling of time and what is going around me, although the Australian Tennis Open is just 1 km from my house and I watch it on telly constantly, half paying attention.

Have also started to practice my German (ich, liebe….) – it’s a mouthful, but I do think I will succeed in this. One day I’ll have to tell my French episode attempt. Meanwhile, my beloved is trying to master “I want beer and pizza” in German. Nice!!

Other than that, I bought a new toy over the week, it’s an IPod shuffle! Yes, am totally wanker-personified at the moment, with it hanging around my neck. But it’s made walking to work in the morning so much less boring and tedious. At least I have Ben Lee telling me that “All straight things must bend”. Now that’s my kind of meditation - something that just confuses the fuck out of me.
p/s: quick shout out to Wikipedia, the new definition to meanings.
