So, its been a week, my book reading has been crappy. I lack a lot of time to do it. I drank too much last week. I had a good time, but I can’t do that all the time. Everything around me suffers.
I have however picked up some amazing music, Mercury Rev, Travis, Northern State, That Shins album I meant to buy an age ago, A Gin Club CD for Joff…. also I borrowed Dudley Benson off David. I must go buy this album in the next week. Its so fucking amazing.

This is going on my mix cd for the special people I adore.

After yesterday’s flurry of average quality updates, I again today am quite bored and lethargic.
I sat down at the library at lunchtime because it was too cold in the park and the tea room at work is just a little too depressing.
I finished the book David lent me yesterday, I have to admit I didn’t take too much in from it but enjoyed reading it. So I went to the library and after much deliberation decided I would finally cave into reading Murikami. I’m sure Caroline and Mr. Godlivitch will be so very proud after telling me for at least 8 years that I should.

At a request, a fine selection of the terrible writings from todays trip to the park.

Teenage romance
sneaking out on a cold Autumn day
to cuddle by a playground
and touch each other inappropriately.
While friends wait on nearby swings.

______________

Got too drunk
and now I’m lying
on a park bench at lunchtime
attempting to sober myself
for an afternoon pretending to look busy.

______________

My fingers are ice
the dog pisses on a tree
and runs to greet his owner
Children chatter
and I lie down
and die a little more.

Its almost contagious this lethargy that seems to be going round the office.

I wrote bad poetry at lunchtime in the park. I was bored and trying not to be sick from over indulgence. Funny, it didn’t seem so bad last night. This morning I just felt crusty. I think the lack of proper sleep had a lot more to do with it.

I’m going to stop being emo, that last entry was rather embarrassing when I think about it. I’m not seventeen and therefore its not very becoming of me. I didn’t sleep well last night and its put me in a bad mood. I’m sure it was a combination of too much to drink, my bed being too warm, Eamonn’s music first, then the sound of who knows what the fuck he was doing… sounded like re-arranging furniture. I need to lay off the tequila too, not that I’d drink that much that often. Read more →

“If love blinds then lust gouges out your eyes and renders you an irrational mess.”

Hmmm…. a quote to start things off. Sometimes I wonder what I’m doing floating along here. I’m sure I’ll figure it out sometime.
Today I was reading Shane and Sarah’s blog and about their first year anniversary. It made me sad that I never had that kind of experience with a person… She’s a lucky lady, but I think she knows that.

“Lust differs from love like night differs from day.”

The person who wrote this essay on being in lust is obviously quite bitter.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)
Life is forming a cocoon around your tendency to go like the clappers all the time. You have the choice of letting yourself quieten down and be nurtured, or fighting like a banshee. One is mellow – one is frustration incarnate

I don’t know why I keep reading the horoscopes from the paper. Yesterday reading them to my flatmates brought out tears in one of them. The horoscope for her star sign actually said a little too much about their day.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)
Don’t panic. You have enough time. You don’t have to blast off the starting blocks in anxiety and trepidation. Life is being luxurious in the amount of opportunity is offering – and in the amount of times you can stuff it up. Relax.

I’m not sure what that’s meant to mean? I know this blog seems to be heading the way of horroscope based posts… but some days the heralds horoscopes are just a little odd. I don’t know what I am meant to be panicking about. Perhaps that this Friday is the deadline for creative communities and strengthening communities grants?

Well I have been distracted lately by my thoughts from the log cabin. I don’t mean to neglect my actual blog, although admittedly I can’t remember when I last updated live journal.
Mum came to town for a few days, so it was really busy. I also managed a decently social weekend too. Dx3 on Friday and Monday!
The show last night was amazing. Who would have thought 150 people would come to the social centre on a Monday night? Read more →

So its been about a week maybe since I last updated. I wasn’t feeling very social on the weekend so I haven’t got too much to report on that front. Spent time with Sarah which is always awesome. On Sunday David and I ventured to Lyttelton for the Street Carnival. It always seems like it would have so much more potential. It always just seems to be some bands at one end of the street, buskers at the other and a few food and such stalls. We had some unexciting tea at the Lyttelton Coffee Co and sweet cake- orange and chocolate mousse cake before going for a walk along the quay. Read more →
