Surprise Song Sunday: 22 - Taylor Swift

Because I'm 22, and because I've finished my thesis.

Word of the Day: Finished

Surprise Song Sunday: I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Because:
1. Friday night was good fun;
2. We've had a few days of sunshine after an absolute eternity of not having any;
3. I've been reminiscing about my European summer, and only just realised how good a time I had; and
4. I'm dreaming about the holidays. My second summer of the year.

Word of the Day: Summer

Surprise Song Sunday: Concerning Hobbits - Howard Shore

Saw a screening of The Fellowship of the Ring with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra playing the soundtrack live Friday before last. Did not realise how long it's been since the release of that film.

It's 11 years old. Back when I was ending Year 6, and going into high school. For some bizarre reason, I was in to that kind of stuff at that age. I was so in to it, I watched it twice.

I also remember getting The Two Towers book from Santa for Christmas that year. For some strange reason, I read it anyway, and I thought Aragorn was a girl. Despite the book referring to Aragorn as 'he' many times. I don't know how I missed that, and I don't know when I realised he was in fact a man.

Awesome film, and awesome memories.

Word of the Day: He

Surprise Song Sunday: Sweet Life - Frank Ocean

From a place that I'd rather be.

Word of the Day: Sweet

How do I remember stuff from a unit I did almost five years ago?

It's irks me when a conversation shifts from talking with someone to talking to someone.

At that point, it's no longer a conversation.


At that point, I don't know what it's become. I can't put a name to it.

At that point, it seems like I'm being annoying. Which I probably am.

But I know it's become something that I no longer want to be a part of. Who wants to be deliberately annoying? Not me. Unless it's someone that I despise.

And there you have it. A scenario that's randomly jogged a memory of mine retained from first-year Linguistics. Something about the rules of conversation.

But yeah, like, whatevor. I'm fairly over it. If you don't want to converse, I'm not going to force you to. Not that I would be able to anyway.

Word of the Day: Conversation

They look so curiously happy.

Is there a better sight known to the human race than a car driving by with a dog hanging its head of a window, with its eyes squinted against the inevitable wind?

It's best when the dog in question has lots of long fur about the face. (Credit: here)

Yeah, I didn't think there was. 

Word of the Day: Dog
