Current obsessions

>> 14 March 2010

Wenchy posted hers, and it was so awesome, I decided to steal it :)

Book: Currently reading Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk. It is the first book by mr Palahniuk that has made it into my reading list, and I am thoroughly enjoying it, but I also have A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami sitting on my bedside table, waiting for me – and it calls to me.

Snack: Anything cheesy, but especially oven-grilled Haloumi cheese.

Restaurant: Home for now. I recently changed my eating habits quite considerably, and haven’t ventured out to a restaurant that caters for the new lifestyle yet. I am giving Cynthia’s Indigo Moon quite some thought at the moment, as this is where Hubby and I will be celebrating our upcoming 15th anniversary.

Beverage: Anything berry, really. Absolutely addicted to berry juice.

Decor: Steampunk all the way, blended with some Safari style :)

Actor: Tough one. I’m a Johnny Depp girl, but Alexander Skarsgård is quite nice to look at at the moment.

Actress: Aishwarya Rai without a doubt. So beautiful. And then, of course, there is Monica Bellucci.

Movie: I have been obsessing about Avatar for months now – simply because it is such a box-office juggernaut. I have also spent a fair amount of brain time on Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (mostly because I am still trying to decide how I feel about it), but the movie that is really keeping my attentions right now is the next instalment of the Harry Potter franchise.

TV show: Lost. We recently started watching the show from Season 1 again, to give my daughter a chance to catch up, and it is stuck in my head all over again.

Hobby: Other than blogging and playing games on Facebook? You mean I am supposed to have time for other stuff? Although, I have had to start cooking seriously again, due to aforementioned lifestyle change.

Band: Kaizers Orchestra. Yes, still. And, of course, Johnny Hollow.

Song: This week’s song seems to be Superhero (Johnny Hollow)

Blog: Oh No They Didn’t. An ever present guilty pleasure.

Lover: My husband, always.

Friend: My husband, always.

Peeve: Selfish people.

Sport: No, don’t do sport. But I have no choice but to have football on the brain right now.

Singer: Nick Cave.

Quote: We are formed and moulded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them. - Buddha

This blog post is way overdue. Life is hectic, but enjoyably so.

Needless to say, the story is still very much in my head, instead of in the Word doc that keeps knocking on my door just as I am about to finally fall asleep.

But I have been taking lots of pictures. Some of my favourites from the past week.

You may notice, we’ve had a lot of sun recently.

It is a funny thing that happens to a person. You kinda go through life and do a bunch of things, and one thing leads to another, and one day, you wake up, and you’re an adult. I mean, really, an Adult. You have a good job and a bond and a house and a car and two point five pets and a child and you’re looking at schools because your child wants to be a lawyer and you’re an Adult. Whack. And it’s not half bad either. It’s just funny how it just suddenly creeps up on one. And how suddenly, your own parents make a lot more sense suddenly.

Grab your raincoat, honey!

82951_notepad_1 Expect massive amounts of random precipitation across the globe, as this naughty writer has started writing a new story, with characters and plot and everything.

It is a fairy tale of sorts, as yet untitled. Snippet to follow later this week.

SOTD: Superhero

Lyrics:

Superhero

Do you want to save your soul?
Take back all the things that they stole?
We won't resurrect the crusade now
‘Cause it looks like we've been betrayed
Will someone come,
save us from this storyline of mass destruction
Will they stay when they see
what we have done just to be free
Chorus:
Waiting, we're waiting
Waiting, we're waiting
For a superhero
Waiting, we're waiting for a superhero intervention
The boys in charge celebrate
Their cunning game of switch and bait
Looking down at the world they've created
Land of lost and sedated
Will someone come,
Save us from
This storyline of mass destruction
Will they stay,
When they see what we have done
Just to be free
Chorus:
Waiting, we're waiting for a superhero intervention
We're waiting for a superhero intervention
Waiting, we're waiting for a superhero intervention
Waiting for a superhero intervention
I'm waiting for a superhero
Will someone save us from the story line
I'm just standing here waiting for a sign
Will someone come save us from the story line
I'm just standing here waiting for a sign

In my dreams…

In my dreams
silent heart beat
a tug of war
between sleep and wake

In the silence
heart drums every step
each soldier at the ready
to claim me for their side

Aim! Fire!
the battle rages
eyelids flutter
the sun is rising

End bell rings
the battle is over
each side a loser
the Sun has claimed victory.
