... the night is warm and the stars are bright

This is such a beautiful song. I've spent the entire day lost in it, wrapped in the innocence of the lyrics and the simple beauty of the riff. It's just such a perfect love song, although I'm not a fan of that genre, I have to admire it.

I've been finding more and more that sensory things absorb me completely. I guess I'm just becoming more tuned in to what I like, so I gaze around absorbed in every visual detail, and sink myself entirely into the music, and become entranced with the physical sensation of swimming. And no, I'm not permanently stoned :) Just a little tripped out on life.

I'm probably becoming close to being institutionalised with this new found game :) I spent the day in Bath, gently humming and singing to myself, and flying the miniature kite that I bought from a guy on the street corner. It was a beautiful sunny day, actually. May is a good month in England. Oh, and I've become addicted to good olives :)



Heh, and on a more banal note, I finally found out my correct bra size. Which is possibly TMI, but after fifteen years of having to buy the damn things, it's quite a relief :) My dishwasher finally broke. This is not bad news, as I won't replace it. And tomorrow I'm taking my front gate off its hinges and recycling it. This is not the first(?) sign of my insanity - I just care a lot less about someone coming in and standing on my path than I care that I'm constantly having to deal with other people obsessive-compulsively closing my gate for me.

Exactly - they just make you acquire more stuff. A dishwasher, and more crockery to fill it up and make it worth running. And then you could try the fancy soap tablets *just for a while*, and before you know it, you've turned into a person who owns a dishwasher. Which is not someone I want to be :P

See, I don't mind owning a dishwasher. I prefer it because I HATE doing dishes by hand. Then again, in this house dishes are done once a month. I use the same cup, the same plate, the same pot/pan, the same spoon/fork/knife for a month, just wiping it off each time I need it. My roommate uses a different thing each time he eats or drinks something, but he leaves them all over the house so they aren't gathered to the kitchen except once a month or so (basically when he gets the urge to do dishes. We use a lot of paper plates, and eat a lot of nuke-food so its not like we use a lot anyway.

Okay, enough of an aside.

Yeah - I tend to stick to the same method. Except I have more crockery. It's quite handy to have somewhere to hide the dirty dishes, but I don't actually have to run the dishwasher to use it for that purpose ;0

Heh true true. I guess I'd never have any use for a dishwasher seeing as how I've always been satisfied with one pot, one pan, one plate, one glass, one bowl, one fork, one spoon and one knife (very rarely used). :)

Yeah - I'm not convinced of the point of knives. Once you stop eating meat, they have no function whatsoever.

[unsane1.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Though I'd like to see you have at it with a pineapple, knifeless. :D

Good point. And talking of being without suitable implements, are you still up for some sort of country excursion while I'm in Canada? Em was talking about some parks being good to visit...

[unsane1.livejournal.com]

Mais oui! What's your itinerary looking like?

Brilliant :) I'm spending the first few days in Toronto, but Allison is leaving on the Tuesday. And as Matt no longer seems to be turning up at all, that leaves my schedule completely open. As I suspect yours is, but anyway - what would work for you?
