After a few beers and thoughts of new year celebrations ..
.. this song really, really appealed to me.
Life In Mono by Mono.
The stranger sang a theme
From someone else’s dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can’t seem to recall
When you came along (me: how goddamed true)
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do
The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can’t seem to forget
When you came along (me: you asshole tempering with my memory)
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue
I just don’t know what to do (me: yeah I really don’t know what to fuckin’ do with you)
Ingenue (fade out)
….
So how did I celebrate my new year’s?
-Went for a movie. Hot Fuzz rocks my world. Yerp. Yerp. Nerp .. ?
-Froze my fingers off walking back from cinema.
-Housemate complained that I was hogging the bandwidth with my downloads.
-Got fed up. Stuffed myself with M&M’s (nutless, especially the brown ones) and cooked myself pasta. Ran out of chicken and tomatoes. Used garlic in the stead.
-Had a few beers to celebrate the lunar new year. Year of the pig, and as Chong says, let’s be pigs and sleep loads.
-Got bored. Nobody online. Everyone busy collecting ang pau. Not in anybody’s thoughts, I’m sure.
-Went downstairs to play Okami. Defeated Crimson Helm. Celebrated by having another beer and a rewarding smoke. Stars were beautiful but fuck it was cold.
-Came up and listened to Mono non-stop whilst I write this.
Time: 4.41am. Will people stop telling me to count sheep when I can’t sleep? It don’t work, alright?
Countdown: Two and a quarter days till Amsterdam. Mushrooms here I come. This year Julia will have a mind-blowing very psychadelic year.
End note: Told French guy that he was born in the year of the rooster. He didn’t quite understand, despite being able to comprehend Naruto subtitles. Told him year of the cock and he understood immediately.
