if some night i don’t come home, please don’t think i left you alone

last night i had a dream that i was in an contemporary art gallery (much like the Tate Modern), with its inclined slate floors and white walls and i was with different sets of friends from my life. organised like a school trip or something, we wandered through the rooms, where all the art was [...]

you can drive a car through my head in five minutes

Since arriving here, almost a month ago, I have been having very disturbing dreams. Quite violent, and all around the theme of capitivity.
This, is odd for me. Yes, I have quite an active dream life, but typically the disturbing ones spread themselves out.
I’m not sure what to make of it all, but along with the [...]

perhaps

It was because I have started listening to music again before I sleep (Handsome Furs).
Or maybe it was food I ate (Cheese and crackers).
Or the last thing I watched on telly (The Simpsons).
Or the last page clicked to on the computer (Facebook).
But I had the strangest vignettes of dreams, this morning. I say this morning [...]

living off a teacup full of cherries

I went to the eye doctor today, and learned I am closer to my dream of becoming Mr. Peanut getting a monocle. Soon, but not yet. Blast.
I love when they shine the lights in your eyes, flip the lens about and ask, “better or worse?” And by love I mean hate.
Then when then announce what [...]

today is tomorrow

When was the last time you cried at the cinema?
If its been a while for you, go see The Reader. Great film, but heartbreaking.
Also saw the trailer for this picture, which looks rather cute. Made me a little sad though, as I miss that backdrop portrayed and one of last scenes in the trailer…the meet me [...]

words

Its funny how when its late and you’re not wearing your glasses how close together the “save draft” and “publish” buttons are. Oops.
I meant to add a bit more to this but twas too late. Either way, the moment has passed, but the below is an excerpt of dialogue I saw in this show.

If you’re [...]

you look so good in the shoes of an outcast

I was interrupted mid-post.
The first time I heard this song I was struck by the line “you look so good in the shoes of an outcast” because it reminded me of something I used to get teased about it while in high school…minus the “you look so good” part. People used to always tease me [...]

I’ll take a quiet life, a handshake…

Tired of always being the one to try. Need to listen to the wisdom of my quote of the week. Or perhaps have it tattooed on me.

memories fade, like looking through a fogged mirror

A wilder’d being from my birth
My spirit spurn’d control,
But now, abroad on the wide earth,
Where wand’rest thou my soul?
***
A Dream
In visions of the dark night
I have dream’d of joy departed —
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
And what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things [...]

in my mind i’m drowning butterflies

I had a strange dream last night.
I was having dinner with my friends, and then all of a sudden shoes started falling from the sky. However, legs were attached to the shoes as they fell. Everything was in black and white, but still, somewhat creepy. Oh, and I was really perturbed because the shoe/leg that fell [...]
