Raining, cold hands
Played guitar today for the first time in so many months. I'd like to say I'll keep it up, that when I'm not alone here I can make myself some time to play, but I give in to pressure too easily, and watch too much television, and am too embarrassed to make a fool of myself, as I do with my weak playing and weaker voice. But it was nice to play. ( Read more... ) -
Once there was a girl, and she used to write and write and write
Once upon a time I lived in words I set on paper
Once, every ounce of my being wanted to create
That overflowing is just
empty space now
I hardly know what a metaphor is, and any words coming from me sound
muted, and bored
Today I was reminded of a few things I loved, and forgot. Why does the thought make me panic? -

Kitten Frenzy and the weekend
The past few days are worth mentioning. Despite the phd work funk I'm in, life's pretty good on the outside (with a few caveats but no need to bring in the rain while it's sunny). This past weekend was my flatmate Andy's birthday and we organised a surprise for him. Saturday morning we piled into the van, told him we were going fishing on the ( Read more... ) -
Vegetarian recipes
Anyone have any favourite vegetarian recipes? I'm bored with my cooking and want to do something a bit more interesting though perhaps not necessarily so interesting I can't find necessary ingredients ( Read more... ) -
Map my run
I know I say this all the time, but I am going to get serious about my fitness ... again. Still going to the gym and everything, but I want to incorporate running (see first short run I did today below, must improve), swimming, and cycling once I buy a bicycle. The weather is getting warmer and I want to be outside!!!
