Like insult to injury

They sent me another catalogue. Normally I wouldn't complain about receiving a catalogue full of glossy pictures of sparkly shoes, but this the third copy of the Same catalogue Supadance has sent me. I only need one copy. You'd think they'd realize this. Why don't they just send me my SHOES! I've been waiting 3 months and 8 days! Grrr.

I'm it. And so are you.

Woohoo, I got tagged. Yes, that was sarcasm. Though I'll admit I am finding it interesting to read other's responses to this so I'm going to continue it, albeit half-heartedly. I won't snub you if you don't answer. In fact I won't even list a particular 5 people I would like to answer. I'm going to count on your own sense of goodnaturedness to convince you to participate.

THE RULES: List five songs that you are currently loving. It doesn’t matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they’re any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artists, and the songs in your blog, then ‘tag’ five other bloggers/friends to see what they’re listening to.

1. "Unwritten" - Natasha Bedingfield
2. "Tiempo de Valz" - ? (It was off a mixed cd from dance class...)
3. "Batendo no Pieto" - Andre Cacciabava (One Last Dance soundtrack)
4. "If tha Mood" - Esthero
5. "Demo[Letzter Tag]" - Herbert Gronemeyer

There are mine. Now, if you feel so inclined, leave a comment (this appears to be confusing people. you do not need your own blog; just comment here) and include your own list :)
(koko, evilmonkey, marx, geminieve, jay, animyr, cob, alicia, maristar, weasel, drewnabobber, d bo, studley, jenne...and anyone else who's just "blogging through"...I'm waiting....)

losers

I abhor people who think that beating on others is a good way to solve problems. Especially since it seems that these "problems" are often figments of the aforementioned neanderthals' imaginations. Or real problems that they escalate by their despicable behaviour instead of solving by resorting to more refined behaviour. If only we could gather them all up, put them in a big pit and let them bully each other till there are none left. That might be effective; let them self-destruct.

Conformity to uniformity

I've had two blogs on the go now for a couple of months. The idea was to switch over from my msn space, but it's just so easy to post photos to it and it lets everyone on my msn list know that I've updated it so I wasn't entirely keen on retiring it. So for these past few months I've been writing here, posting photos there, and also posting update links to this blog there. Much silliness on my part so I'm stopping.

This morning I got the *bright* idea that I should move all my posts over to this site. Yes, greaaaat idea *rolls eyes at self*. However, you can't stop once you've started so now all my posts from the msn space are archived here. Then I realized that I didn't like the variety of text sizes and colours in the posts on this site so I went through and made them all the same. 31 posts later everything conforms to my perfectionist desires. Yay.

Beautiful Shoes

It has finally happened. I have found a shoe company that I would like to buy every pair of shoes in their line.

I suspected that one day I would find such a dangerous company in existance. In case you don't know, I Love shoes. Particularly dressy shoes (it makes no sense I know, I live in jeans and tank tops). However, the fact remains that I'm a sucker for a beautiful pair of shoes. These are beautiful shoes. The company is American and the shoes are made in Montevideo. Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay. It is located on the north side of the Rio de la Plata estuary; basically it's across the estuary from Buenos Aries. This brings me to the important point about these shoes (besides the fact that they are gorgeous, sexy, high heeled, and reportedly incredibly comfortable); they are dance shoes. Ahhhh! If I believed in fate and signs... oh wait, I do. But I also believe you never truly need an excuse for shoes. And even though there is really nothing more that these shoes require, they have one other unique point of interest that makes me want a pair - they are called Tara; Tara Tango Shoes :+)

derailment

random thoughts are flying round my head taking with them all vestiges of sanity nothing's still chaos reigns instead fleeting images take hold instant disturbances with nothing grounded unreality expands refurbishes dull existance when necessity receeds unlikely candidate for contemplative exemption


*edit (after the fact)* obviously the logical thing to be doing when you need a break from writing an essay is to write nonsense. I claim temporary insanity due to academic english overload.

Tea and Coincidences

Coincidence: the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection; also : any of these occurrences

Why? because of the tea.

I fixed my friend's ski mittens yesterday. She brought me tea and chocolate as a thank-you :) Completely unecessary, but totally appreciated (who can argue with tea and chocolate!). The tea was from a shop in Courtenay that sells prolly a hundred different types of loose tea; she choose a Rooibos called Pumpkin Spice Cream which includes apple, sunflower blossums, nettle and pumpkin spice flavour. Last time I was in there I bought some of my favourite Tiramisu Rooibos (it's like dessert in a cup if you add a bit of cream and sugar; oooh soooo good) and a particular other tea caught my eye and I decided that next time I would try that one instead. Said friend told me that she had never been in the shop before, but she went in yesterday and the Pumpkin Spice cream caught her eye so she figured she'd get that one for me. Of all the many types of tea, how is it that the one I was planning on getting next was the one that caught her eye?

Coincidence.

"Demo (Letzter Tag)"

Here's the song from the video below. Thank you Steve for translating for me!

THE LAST DAY [Letzter Tag]
------------

Does one know how often a heart can break?
...how much sense an occasion has? [[play on words "wann - occasion", "sinne - sense", "wannsinn - crazy"]]
...is worth feelings?
How many tears fit in a canal?
Are we living again?
Why do we wake up?
What does time heal?

I am your 7th sin,
... your double floor,
... your 2nd face.

You are...
... a smart prediction
[[directly translated: "a smart prognoses". alternativetranslation: "a good bet."]]
... the principle of hope,
... a streak of light out of the night,
Sometime, I will find and love you.

I am one of your colours,
You can choose it.
You can wear it.
You can bleach it.
It will give up all your secret codes.
It will paint your boldest dreams.
It will explain to you what I don't understand.

I am your 7th sin,
... your double floor,
... your 2nd face.

You are...
... a sure prediction,
... the principle of hope,
... a streak of light out of the night,
Sometime, I will find and love you.

Life put red in our veins.
I'll serve it to you on a gold platter.
You fetch me out of the grey valley of tears.
You let so much wonder happen at once,that I cannot see or hear anymore.

I am your 7th sin,
... your double floor,
... your 2nd face
... your favorite colour
.... your sports car
.... your deepest dive
.... your sailplane.

You are...
... a good prediction,
... the principle of hope,
... a streak of light out of the night,
I will find you and love you more than myself.
I love you more than myself.
Sometime I will find you.
I'll find you or not.
I love you more than myself.
And I'll find you.
I'll find you... or not.
