Today I continued my laziness in the morning and then had a schoolies meeting at Caitlyns in the afternoon - the most organised meeting ever! Caitlyn even had a agenda. Turns out I will be cooking stir fry on Wednesday with Sarah, Heidi and Megan - well that will be interesting. On other news I finished reading Thud! I didn't really enjoy it at the start, it was a bit self-conscious, but by the end it was back to normal with my beloved Vimes shouting "WHERE'S MY COW?". You'll have to read it to know what I'm talking about :) I also decided to make a clean start in my room so I gathered all my old school books and millions of pieces of paper and deposited them in the garage for long term storage.

Tonight we had a family dinner at my Nana's house - sort of a Christmas dinner as we are going away to France and Spain for Christmas (I will be in Seville for Christmas with flamenco and Mosques - I hope it snows... but that's probably not likely). I took this photo today at Nana's house, I love the way it is over-exposed. Tomorrow my goal is to create some cds for France and Spain and to do some calligraphy - I wonder if I will?

By the way - I found this line in a poem called Street Corner by Brenda Hillman: "hearing the peppermint noise of sparrows landing like spare dreams"- it is so perfect, so fresh, like a haiku you can hear and taste and see the moment all at once.

Reading: In between books (shock/horror!) - feel I should read something other than Terry Pratchett, perhaps "Reading Lolita in Tehran".

Untitled

Around, all around, the mourners gather.
My dread grows as the angry hand of Heaven falls against my naked soul.
It mutilates me, and darkly my
blood drips
to the wicked earth that is my prison.
In pain I call your name
while nothingness looms.
Now alone, my fervent plea falls upon darkened eyes.

This is my salvation
