I'm in a state of literal waking hell.

I go to bed at 2am and give up pretending to sleep at 5am.  At which point I run into

Here is a metaphor for our times:

Tonight a normal fifteen-minute trip on EDSA from Ortigas to Makati turned into a three-hour slog through the rain and traffic.  The reason?

A grand religious gathering was held at the Sanctuario de San Antonio, church of the perfumed and bejeweled.  It is a 'healing mass' presided over by some foreign preacher, and ( Read more... )

RAINING ON THE SKY
Naked

When the night falls on metropolis
Neon dissonance, warm lipstick
When the moon shines on the playground
I will find you in the tinsel town

Moving shadows in the shape of what you want to see
Painted fingers and the aromatic Jean Nate
And when they're spinning you can see them do the strangest things

I was obsessive-compulsively tagging my iTunes collection with the proper album, track number and album art details when I came to an awful realization (and no, it wasn't how this was such an utter, bollocks waste of time).

Most of the tracks in my collection have never, ever been played.  They've never seen the light of day (or since we're ( Read more... )

Light up my skin, so far away
You're holding it in

He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Being professionally unemployed presents a dilemma.  In the off-chance you become employed again, how do you make sure your brain hasn't been turned into mush by all the Prison Break and Grey's Anatomy episodes?

Me being me, I've spent it reading up on current affairs.  One of my favorite newspapers is The Guardian, the UK's left-leaning broadsheet ( Read more... )

The most wonderful, unexpected thing happened to me while I was in Powerbooks tonight.

I picked up a couple of books, and actually wanted to read them.  I ended up buying that copy of Fight Club I've been promising to get myself.  I would've brought home more if my almost-empty wallet had permitted it.

I haven't been able to finish reading a book ( Read more... )
