callousness // 10:37 pm
Had a long chat today, it was good and full and I learned a lot.
I realized lots of things I should and should not have done. I realized I can do better.
wandering...
blink twice and
let it go
back and forth
Why can't you free yourself from that?

metaphorical music // 4:52 pm
Downpour of rain is a sigh of relief.
The smell of rain is lovely.
Thunder cake. Thunder bolt.
I saw a child running to the bathroom. (No running allowed in the halls.) His hand were on his ears; his face grimaced. I tried to tell him not to run, but found myself running away from the thunder too........ so much for being a good example....
We were both terrified.

The Tralfamadorians // 7:35 pm
How delightful they sound! It would be interesting if they'd pay me a visit.
People aren't supposed to look back. I'm certainly not going to do it anymore.
I've finished my war book now. The next one I write is going to be fun.
This one is a failure, and it had to be, since it was written by a pillar of salt.
- from Slaughterhouse Five which was alluding to the Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrah ("So it goes.")
Other quotes, (I like its play with time.)
Time would not pass. Somebody was playing with the clocks, and not only with the electric clocks, but the wind-up kind, too. The second hand on my watch would twitch once, and a year would pass, and then it would twitch again.
There was nothing I could do about it. As an Earthling, I had to believe whatever clocks said -- and calendars.
...
This reminded me of someone,
"I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go."
- from Words for the Wind, by Theodore Roethke as quoted in Slaughterhouse Five
Last one for now, there are others to share.
And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.

have I changed? // 10:01 pm
I have haven't I.
Like a snake, shedding, shed.
When all was stripped down and away, and you saw my worms and darkness in my nakedness, in my humanness but you still chose me.
The change isn't great.
Eddie does this little twitching thing in his sleep. He also swipes his face with his little paw when something's in his way. It's super cute.

no rhymes // 3:15 pm
Icarus flew too close to the sun.
Icarus, the foolish;
Icarus, the wise.
Like Icarus, we fly, we fly.
From the sky we fall.
In the sea we lie, drowning,
drowned in a puddle of
our own feathers and wax.

short exposition on masterchef // 5:03 pm
Having watched 1.75 seasons of Masterchef US, and 1 episode of Masterchef Australia,
The challenges of Masterchef Australia are more interesting, team based, varied. Whereas Masterchef US has followed a simple string of the same ones, but different chefs. It's all about the showcasing of the judges more than the contestants.
Masterchef Australia is so much richer with friendship and kindness and the judges are really smiling at the contestants and treating them with respect. Masterchef US judges are a lot more snobbish.
Also, the contestants of US are a lot more dramatic, mean, competitive... and Masterchef Australia is so much more fun to watch because it is more "human first" rather than "your food sucks go home". Masterchef US tries to cover up their unhumanness by adding bits of "oh here's a picture of your family"... but you really get it in the overall feeling in Masterchef Aus.
Also, it seems like a hearty kind of tasting when they taste the food in Masterchef Aus, whereas in Masterchef US, they're like "OKAY, THIS FLAVOUR'S GONNA WIN".
I'm hungry. I want pasta bolognese.

listening // 12:08 am
Sometimes when you are looking for answer and you don't get the one you thought you wanted, you kind of hear the one you wanted but then realized... that's not really it.
That's not really it at all.
Don't ever expect to receive what you don't give back.

All I remember, all I see, is the shadow of a once beautiful light. The shadow but not the light; so what is the point of keeping something I cannot hold, or something that cannot hold me?
