With the attention span of a...

I have moved on, as I always do, to another blog.
I love my (few) readers tho, so if you are interested
in continuing following me, this is the place to go.
Hope to see you there.

Love,

Twitter and coconuts

So I'm very happy we installed that Airport Express two days
ago. Thanks to it I can now use wi-fi while sitting outside
my apartment, waiting for my dad to come home. Maybe an easier
solution would have been to bring the keys in the first place.

On another note, Twitter has got me. I'm barely using any other
internet community, including Facebook and, sadly, Blogger.
Although I do take a break selling coconuts over at Omegle
from time to time.

Sorry if you won't see me here often anymore, I might pick
it up later as well as make an update now and then.

Until then, meet me at Twitter!

By the way, if you have a suggestion for a catchy
long-lasting twitter name, leave your comment :)

Silence

It's been a while, and the internet just seems to be growing.
Zach started his own blog, good for him, and interesting
reading for me!

In my struggle to fight the boredom, I started twittering!
Have a look if you wish. It's even less formal than these
posts, and more frequent.

I've been thinking about what lyrics to include in
this post. I decided to go for Cage’s 4’33”:







----
This 4 minute 33 second piece of silence is both a pleasure
and an awful experience. Of course the time between each
movement is used by the audience to make all kind of
disturbing noises, such as coughing, which totally ruins the
experience. It also annoys me how most people probably
do not understand the greatness of this piece (I'm willing
to say that it is a bit over my head), but are only interested
in the phenomena. In either case, it's an interesting experiment.

Tomorrow is Friday and I just hope it'll be awesome,
I need something to happen!

Finally, since I'm such an awful friend (hey, at least I admit it),
I almost forgot: Happy birthday Zach Choy :)

Time machine

Seems my life cannot get much better.
With the last two days having been awesome
I just wanna return, over and over again.

My current favorite is Time by Pink Floyd

Don't waste your time, it's limited.
And all those days and minutes,
those are the great thing called life.
----
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Over 60

No, it's not over 9000, not yet.

However, to celebrate the fact that my
blog now has more than 60 posts,
here is a little something I learned in
Spanish class:
Wordle: Clashes on the periphery
Being the first picture on my blog, the
"word cloud" summarizes the activity on
my blog since its beginning, and makes
more frequent words larger.

Happy reading.

Darkness

Blackouts make me realize how dependent we
are on electricity. In my case, I got so bored I
even decided to do Spanish hw. Clearly something
in the evolution went terrible wrong.

In any case, I had a wonderful weekend (:
