'Wall-E' is just such an unbelievably beautiful and cute movie.
I'd forgotten how much i love, love animation. The idea that all humans left earth 700 hundred years ago because it all got swallowed by trash and that the atmosphere became toxic
is ofcourse no longer some apocalyptic vision either.But the movie makes me want to go and watch ' Hello, Dolly', which I've not yet seen and which has Michael Crawford in... enter the 'Phantom'!!
But Starbucks coffee should be sued. So little coffee for so much money??? A small costs three pounds ten round the corner from where i live.

1)reading a book on quirkology

2)trying to believe the new stupid scientific view that apparently yawning is the body's attempt to keep you awake.. ( cold air, entering warmed up inside..whatever...)

3) the signifigance of semi-autumnal rain

4) wondering if earths really not so unique as we make out and thinking that hey, although life is just a fluke arising out of its precise lucky position in te5rms of its proximity/distance from the sun, following that article you read in the latest economist about some astronomer who claimed that life on mars was actually ending 3 billion years ago just as ours had just begun 1 and a half billion years before that... ( he said that what is so well known now : yes, mars had probably had oceans, yes had probably had rivers, yes thered been odd bacteria living on there and brought up the whole phenomeno of meteorite, bacteria-ripe rock found in extreme conditions on earth, i.e artic that could have cvome from mars) youve had this idea that maybe, following the big bang and with the idea of the expanding universe, ofcourse planets took time to come into their precise positions as we know them and hey, maybe once mars was where earth was and had intelligent life, and earth is moving towards a mars state anyway.. ( with us humans speeding it up).

all this comes with thinking that the live earth concert the other day across the globe was just a joke... think of all the pollution produced by setting up all those stages, transporting all those artists..


5) listening to bad, bad music in dussmans,thinking that "alternative" is soetimes just complete and utter trash in the right hands of some incompetent fool who just goes out and thinks ' hey ill write some rubbish, ill call it alternative, ill make money, the actual artistic quality doesnt matter'but not going to get a better cd.

6) not bothering to figure out the meaning of salvador dali's pictures at the new exhibition at kudamm..

7) not complaining about bad coffee

8) not bothering to undress and put pyjamas on on going to bed

9) eating breakfast cereal with a fork because the washing up can be done later

10) making up ditties about rubbish bins and all their strange contents.

11) writing letters to friends in pictograms.

12) counting pigeons as you cant be bothered to look around for crows.

13) thinking up stupid names.'florelia', for example.

14) not bothering to set up a proper holder, using the music rest on the piano at home to prop up canvases and getting red oil paint onto the cover.

15) using the only two remaining figers of a hand loaded with groceries ( the other hand being free) to fumble with the door lock.

The keys are in the hand.

Goodbye old life, hello new.

Goodbye to something one thought would last.

In the words of Eva Cassidy, though : "I guess it doesn't matter anymore"

Why should it? I'm still a Berliner at heart, after all.

Subscription to "Ex Berliner" signed.

Read a future-me ad : " Teacher seeking a one-to-two bedroom flat in Prenzlauerberg. Costs preferred : 350 euros per month."

I think that person is a bit of a dreamer.

Time to get back to reading Peter Ackroyd's "Albion : the history of English imagination", i think.....


Maybe this adds a new meaning to the phrase "Im gone, simply gone"............

*lovesbritishcouncil*
Saw a movie at the local arts centre day before yest.. typical french quirky... Paris, the seine.. some person wanting to go throwing themselves off a bridge..some angel in the guise of a six-foot hooker comes down and helps him out. Effing hilarious,black and white..

film noir, comedy,...eh.. thats the life.

coz Im busy cherishing life.

its nothing much..
but..
its a nice feeling.



the user pic needs changing.. something summery..pineapples???

I guess im afraid that if i cash in all my work cheques - i.e five weeks worth of them i might have money in my account. Dangerous amounts. To someone who thinks 40 quid is a fortune still.
But that aside - Im afraid that cashing-in might lead to careless spending,guilt,short-term benefits rather than long ones.
And yet maybe its just that im afraid that i might be able to "live a little" if i did that..


The problem of making the decision wouldnt be so bad if i wasnt being forced into it by the fact that my employer is prying into my personal buisness asking me why my cheques havent been going through and i havent been getting paid.

i mean. in theory i appreciate the gesture, but.

it kinda makes things a bit difficult, here.

Im trying to reach a financial goal of well.. maybe some sort of semi-independence by next year and well..
if people ask me to cash in my cheques all ill do is go and spend it all.

and yes.
i know.
its all a matter of self-control.



oh and the rest of yesterday was fun, btw.


and yes.
this post is definitelly very silly.

or can just go ahead and seem that for all i care, at any rate.

whats the point?

feels rather charmed..
when youve been told..
that you dont have to hand in your french coursework till
monday...

and that actually-- youve been getting it all wrong,all this time..
it doesnt have to be 2,000 words..
it has to be 700...

meaning youre actually 1,000 words over currently..
and have to cut it all down instead of wondering of your conclusion will reach the necessary number..


eh.

after all that excitement..
i really,really needsome food..
