THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK

LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats	5
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question …	10
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.

doggy daria

It's well known that I am obsessed with my dog. And how could I not be. He is affectionate, so cuddly, very cute, looks after me when I am sick (that is he lies with me) and wags his tail like a big fat ball of amazing. If you met Henry, you will love Henry.

So it is a sad day. I finished all series of Friends. However, this does not mean that I am over it! Admittedly the early seasons were by far the best, and for me season 9 and 10 dragged on a bit. Apart from the story line that drew me in because I believe that I am a reincarnation of all 6 of the friends (a little trait of each in my soul; Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey and Ross), it really got a little drawn out. Nothing will beat the hair, clothes, humour and style of the early series, the '90s man. Nothing will beat it (to me).

Next for me? Daria.

I wish that I could have made this clip.

The Cranberries - Linger

If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.

I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

afternoon delight

Spent sunday twirling our new jasmine plant around a stick on the back wall of the house. Simple pleasures of walking through Rozelle markets with a juice buying plants and long flowy skirts for summer.

coincidence

If there is any bigger coincidence of 2010 I have not come across it yet. The track is playing as I am writing so excuse me if I get a tad excited. Throughout the many hours that I spent on crowded and hot buses on the roads of South India I listened to folk/ukulele-rock band Mumford & Sons. On a massive youtube binge about two weeks ago, in which I rediscovered my love for Destiny's Child track 'Say My Name', I came across the video clip for 'The Cave'. The clip is filmed in Goa, where we spent a lot of our time. The landscape and guys in the clip are the absolute embodiment of the traveling I did in India. Each state in India is vastly different and driving through them you see it all. Special (special). I will always maintain that Mumford & Sons album was my Indian soundtrack, and this film clip just makes me giddy. I've included the lyrics, mostly because the entire album is filled with gold.

It's empty in the valley of your heart. The sun, it rises slowly as you walk. Away from all the fears. And all the faults you've left behind. The harvest left no food for you to eat. You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see. But I have seen the same. I know the shame in your defeat. But I will hold on hope. And I won't let you choke. On the noose around your neck. And I'll find strength in pain. And I will change my ways. I'll know my name as it's called again. Cause I have other things to fill my time. You take what is yours and I'll take mine. Now let me at the truth. Which will refresh my broken mind. So tie me to a post and block my ears. I can see widows and orphans through my tears. I know my call despite my faults. And despite my growing fears. But I will hold on hope. And I won't let you choke. On the noose around your neck. And I'll find strength in pain. And I will change my ways. I'll know my name as it's called again. So come out of your cave walking on your hands. And see the world hanging upside down. You can understand dependence. When you know the maker's hand. So make your siren's call. And sing all you want. I will not hear what you have to say. Cause I need freedom now. And I need to know how. To live my life as it's meant to be. And I will hold on hope. And I won't let you choke. On the noose around your neck. And I'll find strength in pain. And I will change my ways. I'll know my name as it's called again.

If you don't get into it just youtube Destiny's Child 'Say My Name' and think of me.

eleven for wednesday

So here it comes again. The time to lock down, concentrate, conquer and learn. I go cross eyed, marry my laptop and become friends with the crust pizza delivery boy. It's a roller coaster of emotions. Waves of guilt convince me to stay indoors until everything is done but then the impulse to reward myself with free time is overpowering and i burst into the sunshine only to return home feeling like more of a drongo. I become physically ill at the sound of my keyboard clicking away under my fingers. It's a very traumatic time for all university students. It does have its positives though. It means that summer holidays are just around the corner. It means that we're flying to New Zealand for Christmas soon. It means that Robbie is moving here soon. It means that I get to eat as much junk food as I want without feeling like I don't deserve it. I do deserve it, it's an indoor reward. Similar to the indoor reward I gave this morning. Taking pictures of stuff around my house. Not incredibly interesting but I had a relax and a break doing it. A slide that Robbie gave me. From NYC with love, balloons in the sky. My flowers, my Peggy, her butterfly, our slide, my ukelele, my bag, my book, my tissues, my sunglasses, Henry's toy, my room, my face in my mirror.

Also, here are my digital watches. My Adidas collection is missing from the photograph. The watch Duncan gave me is the green one. Very amazing watch. I also have to synchronise my watches. A reward I'll save for later.
