The tightening, frightening, the closing in [repost]

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing / the emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people / clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it’s so, so, disappointing

Shell smashed / juices flowing
Wings twitch / legs are going,
Don’t get sentimental / it always ends up drivel
One day, I’m gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
hysterical and..

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
And one day, I’m gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
hysterical and..

Frou Frou – Let Go

Drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
‘Cause it’s all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you’re writing a tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you’ve no idea what you’re like

It gains the more it gives
And then advances with the form
So, honey, back for more
Can’t you see that all the stuff’s essential?
Such boundless pleasure
We’ve no time for later
Now you can wait
You roll your eyes
We’ve twenty seconds to comply

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it’s so amazing here
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown

But can you fake it, just for one more show?

Eat, Drink, be Merry! And listen to the rain

A small collage of the photos over xmas and the new year. Western for Christmas, Chinese for the New Year. Er, we were too busy with the food and drinks to take proper photos. No shots of turkey/eggnog/piñata either! Or of people shagging..I kid. Get that look off your face!

Acid

Music mix from tonight!

With a little bonus of John Lennon, Collective Soul, etc. simply because I can’t remember every song that was played.

Why I don’t deserve that ‘F’ in home economics

Rosemary? Check. Black pepper? Veggies? Check and check!

.. Shit, the wine!! And scurried down to the store, where a Shiraz Cabernet was grabbed at random, and would have been better paired with lamb. Plus, the steak ended up slightly overcooked. Oh well.

Er, I can’t believe made a meal (punctuated with random outbursts like “aggh!! i can’t turn the oven on!!” whereupon someone stares at me and calmly turns the other knob on the other side..) ! I reckon my cooking skills are below the ‘dishwasher’ level in Anthony Bourdain’s kitchen. Heh. Snapped a few quick pics with three fingers, so excuse the flash and quality..

Anyway, we had our meal, complete with odd cartoon sounds in the background and a lopsided half-coconut candle.

Now then, why don’t I deserve that ‘F’?

‘Cause I can cook, suckers!
(But then again, they didn’t allow instant mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, chicken soup, canned beans, – probably because for all of them, you just add boiling water, stir, and voilà! – nor was google permitted..)
