1997 my real love affair with music began. I knew who U2 were, how could I not? I knew their music but I didn’t actually own any of their albums. They had a new album coming out titled Pop<\/i>, the first in a few years. There was a lot of excitement about it and I bought it on the day of release. I of course loved it, and I still do. It’s generally regarded as one of their weaker albums but I love it. So anyway since then I naturally made sure I own all of their albums. Listening to it often makes me a little nostalgic, I have lots of memories from that time which I associate with it.<\/p>\n
So anyway that’s that.<\/p>\n
I’m still thinking that I loved that movie and it’s going to reverb in me for a while. It actually made me want to be in Tokyo again just because it is so different and there is so much to see. I think aswell as everything else, we tried to do too much and were exhausted every day. I could spend some time there taking photos and wandering around and seeing the sites. Looks like my sister will be in Kyoto from June or so. Later in the year I may try and head out that way again. Ah plans.<\/p>\n
Hong Kong for a week is also an option. There is a really good deal on at the moment, 5 nights in a 4 star hotel and return flights for \u00a3395. Well tempted by that. A couple of the lads have already signed up to it and a few more of us are thinking about it. We shall have to see. If the share thing works out like it’s suppose to, I could really enjoy a nice holiday in somewhere cool. Thinking on my own would be the best but if it does work out, there is no reason I cannot do two trips.<\/p>\n
Willpower is sometimes easily exercisable, I just have to get into the habit and so far so good. A few lacking times but in general pretty good and I’m certainly eating a lot healthier on a week by week basis. 3 cans of coke a day down to 3 a week (and that was only because I was working late and being stressed…an excuse I know) isn’t a bad start. I have two healthy dinners in the fridge for during the week and I even got some oatmeal and rasins in. Not that I ever stop for breakfast, but I should try harder.<\/p>\n
I need to buy a copy of UltraEdit for myself at home soonish and I need to sort out some Antivirus on a more permanent basis than a Norton trial. I quite like it so far tho, in particular the email scanning. Having said that, my email is scanned by my provider and that’s pretty damn good.<\/p>\n
Man I had some really screwed up dreams last night. They are just a fluttering memory now but I remember waking up thinking they were very fucked up. I use to have a dream diary years and years ago. I’m not sure that they were really dreams rather than the dreams the mind goes off into just before sleep. I’m not sure I’d ever keep anything like that again (due in no small part to it would have to be first thing in the morning) but sometimes it would be interesting I think. I can always ask the V about my dreams, that’s usually good for a laugh.<\/p>\n
Yeah ok, I’ve got to go back to it, so if you are planning on seeing Lost in Translation<\/i> you should stop reading about now. I really love the ending. There was no happy ending, their lives had crossed and had such an impact in such a short time and then they just went on with their own lives. The penultimate scene was a work of magic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
