I have nothing left in my room to read. All my books have done their dances - many of them twice. So I write.
But I guess the truth is, I'm tired of writing... of reading... of speeches and words and all things having little or nothing to do with image and music and colour... Of having so many thoughts and no longer any adequate medium through which to express them.
Never meaning to sound smartypants or profound or intelligent - but only to have less in my head. Inevitably, however, this is how they arrive.
Packaged or canned and brightly labeled for categorical reference and later use or simply tossed into the Pointless Pile.

I also seem to suffer from an inability to express this without sounding overlysomething. So, I hope none of this has come off as terribly as most of what I say.
Sleep is in order. I imagine it must be fun to work in a coffee shop on Halloween...

Nooooo. The mucus, it's coming. Where the heck do random colds come from?
Please just be allergies.

its almost my season again darlings
broken toys alive in autumn leaves like spinning tops
and cool winds on our skin come like california kisses
oceans of trees turning colours like buttons pressed
and no water to be found
wondering how emptiness is filled by the roaring in our ears
and our shadows dance in sunlight to protect their frozen toes
when frothy clouds roll in like warm milk to feed the dust.
hello.

So my birthday was pretty much awesome. (No pictures this year though, oddly enough. And I have yet to get the California pics from Jess... Oh well. I'll just have to remind her tomorrow.)
Jeremy and I saw The Cave today - a strange day to have off, but nice nonetheless - and it was really cool. I love the climbing scene when it flies, Piper Perabo's turn. Heh. That was freakishly awesome. A great concept really, executed very well, which doesn't seem to happen often these days. Also more than a little Reign of Fire reminiscent, and it paid serious homage to many others, but the ending was the killer.

I also bought this today. And a 2 GB SD card for it that I'm pretty excited about... But I haven't picked them up yet and won't be able to until at least tomorrow. So I'm watching The Saint in order to get sleepy enough to sleep because a full day of work awaits me tomorrow. I think it's starting to work, actually... It's at the car chase where they have the Smashing Pumpkins cover of The Cars "You're All I've Got Tonight" playing in the background; I have to say, personally, the former band annoys me most of the time, but that cover came out pretty fun. Anyway, it's basically eleven and my alarm will go off at five, so I better go.

And Nicholas-from-Lola Tapas-friend, if you are reading this, thank you very much. I hope you like the videos and you're welcome to comment as you like.

Be good.
