blind date
my thickskined-ness has once again paid off. today i managed to make a connection with a fellow canterbridgian-to-be. la mian at crystal jade. hazardous probation driving. left in the lurch by camb admissions (where are those guys?!) good stuff. and we were so (uncharacteristically, for me at least) productive as to schedule another meeting next wed. click, magic wand, grow similar. tolerance...default.days have been good. the last days. been meeting lots of friends esp those back for the hols. just went with em to watch a film yesterday. go watch some! the arts house screening room is really outdoing itself! esp if you have a dbs card:) we watched a korean film by kim ki- duk and it was beautifully and poetically rendered, i don't even want to do it the injustice of a bad plot summary. the scenery will.. make you want to meditate. which is alot. i never want to meditate. do you think everyone is born evil by nature? it is such a contradiction because nature is, by nature, so pristine and uncorrupted, and right splat in the middle of it, believing that the world revolves around him, is the squalid human spirit. tamed only by "carrying a stone in your heart". which means that only old people, or people who've seen alot, can be truly at peace and one with nature. i am definitely not peaceful or onw with nature. be it mine or anyone else's. i have a thrasing-about spirit that is always on the verge of doing or saying something uncalled-for. that is my own fault. i carry too few stones, if any at all, in my brief and blessed life.
oh, my sweet brother and his saccharine voice have just, as i type, stepped into my room on return from johannes brahms choir competition in wernigerode. they ( all the sweet ri choirboys and their collectively saccharine voices), have won everything they could possibly win, and are going to be decorated in school. it is, i admit, a welcome relief from a week of sane silence in out house. welcome home josh! and btw, get outta my room! :)
