the four right chords can make me cry

Cest la vie!

as if I didnt see that one coming.

Battle Royale!

was probably not a very smart thing to stay up reading Battle Royale till 4am this morning considering church at 8:30am. But I just couldnt put the book down!!! And MAN that book is FREAKY. Kept imagining people trying to kill me when I was trying to get to sleep. Quite terrifying. Books have a stronger hold on my imagination than movies, though now I really want to watch the movie too. A blatant allegory for the nation of Japan, the Republic of Greater East Asia. So gory, its brilliantly shocking, even in this age of kill bill type movies when people are so desensitised. Can't wait to finish it and start reading it again!!!

the unbearable lightness of being

A book I finished up in Thailand. Some bits were so insightful, but I felt it was largely an ego trip for the author and consequently rather pathetic. Still, quite interesting to read.

I'm dreaming of a Thai christmas.

I miss being in thailand with the rest of the team. I miss my housemates. I miss waking up early to pai talat. I miss eating meals together with everyone. I miss Mak Heau Jae, all of them.

Things feel pretty hollow. The emptiness reverberates like a tenor in a catherdral.

Anyway, no time to think about the darkness of man or the blackness of my heart. Time for driving lesson!
