2010 here we come

At home with the family for Christmas and I’m very happy to chill with all of them and to take a much-needed break from my Masters dissertation and the course I have to retake next semester.
Went to a friends traditional wedding proceedings this last Saturday and it was so bittersweet. In about five or so [...]

me

im obsessed with reading this sign on the steps to class everyday as i go up the stairs to second floor
i dont like these birds that come to the tables at lunch, they smell and im obsessed that their feathers have diseases of sort
when cooking following a recipe, i like to lay out all the [...]

his boss

I really wish I could take a year off next year and do all these quaint things you know!

Teach English in a foreign country, Spain although I hear they are racist
Work as a bar tender in London or New York, I wonder if this is glamourous
Work in a winery in France
Trek through parts of Europe
Go to [...]

nick,nacks

BBA is such a yawn…I wonder why I looked forward to it! Can’t wait for it to start
Reading this now
Sad about Caster… and how its all being publicized and how petty the Australians are being about it all
Listened to a sad show yesterday about whether to read your childs diary or not?
Met a lady today [...]

murder on the blogosphere

I dont want to name-and-shame the blog I have been reading the  last couple of weeks BUT…its about this 25 year old chick who has been married for the past year and how she and her pals are all getting married! so its hubby this, shower the other, friend this married this day and the [...]

Native-ity

I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright
I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They’re looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I [...]

a couple of pics

A friend of mine came to see me about two months back and these are some of the pics I have from then that don’t have people in them:-)

BOOORED but oh no!

I have had one of those weeks where the days seem to run faster than the 24 hours allocated to do them in…I have been getting to bed with just enough energy to just turn out the light and drop dead.
Excited about: my friend coming over for the next week and all the mischief we [...]

happy 62nd

I was watching some show last night on BBC Knowledge, Saira Khan the Apprentice runner up chick was taking us guys round Pakistan her home country though she was born in the UK. Clearly she is a muslim woman who has some rights as she grew up in a foreign country and what. The whole [...]

little pill on the hilltop

two things I do that I know I ought to stop: One, is looking at disgusting things over and over and having to commit it to my mind, the gross-ER it is, the greater the fixation! Two is feeling sad and making sure I play music that makes me feel worse about it or replaying [...]

STANDING TOGETHER by Amelia
 

There’s an oak tree that stands in our front yard
When we moved here years ago, it stood there just as grand
unmoved by the storms that blew last year
unnerved by the strong winds that for months don’t clear
it just stands there it’s roots planted firm to the ground
and for it’s stubbornness and stability [...]

day ONE

It seems that May is the month that I decide to do new things!  Five years ago I stopped eating red meat this month and this last Sunday I went and cut off my hair and dyed it copper red and just for kicks had them do a shaggy thing or other! I can’t remember the [...]

its red,its sore,it hurts

I lost a very good friend of mine in the last half of last year under very O.C. cum One Tree Hill moves…. The honest truth is I wasn’t a very good friend and justify it as I might, I was in the wrong and while this is the totally wrongEST forum to do this [...]

(in)justice

on radio yesterday afternoon, i heard how Kenya is on the brink of political turmoil….and you can imagine how i almost panicked with the need to hear the rest of the statement! alas, Martha Karua my former hero and the Justice and Constitutional Minister has quit!
closer to home, they dropped the charges against the next [...]

When i hear this song by Boys to Men, i want so badly to get married. TOO PETTY but then at the moment marriage for me is so so superficial i should be so embarassed to even talk abou it! gifts, new house, my kitchen……
Im telling the world
Here and now
That Im gonna love you and [...]

today

i dont know why i keep coming back to this point! i ought to be able to see the clear writing on the wall but no, either i love abuse or im a sucker for punishment! either way, no difference really coz both mean im not learning, and i get hurt in the intervening period! [...]

blink, blink

Ok I dont exactly like poetry but this did hold my fancy for some time! Its by Wendell Berry
How joyful to be together, alone
as when we first were joined
in our little house by the river
long ago, except that now we know
 
each other, as we did not then;
and now instead of two stories fumbling
to meet, we [...]
