Last.fm milestone


In case you can't see it, I've now reached 10,000 plays on my last.fm. Sweet! It's not like I didn't sign up for this thing like 2 years ago, and most of my "friends" have somewhere around 50,000. In my defense, most of the music I listen to (i.e., on my Zune) doesn't get added.

Sigh... back to work on my thesis.

nostalgic dreams


when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.

---


i had another dream, but not about her. it was someone else, but still beautiful, and nobody will ever know. this one is leaving for italy. not that it matters, because i've already committed, and i always keep my promises. i think it's just that my mind wanders and wonders, idealizes and idolizes. yet i must tell someone, and that is why i write here: to launch my thoughts into the atmospheric labyrinth of the internet.

and now i go, to distract my mind, as i always do, in caffeine and liquor, or in books and music.
