Crows on Galle Ramparts

Crows on Galle Ramparts 1, originally uploaded by Waxy Dan.

Night after I proposed in Sri Lanka – we took a walk along the ramparts of the old port in Galle.

Sheriff Harry S. Truman: There’s a sort of evil out there. Something
very, very strange in these old woods. Call It what you want. A
darkness, a presence. It takes many forms but… Its been out there
for as long as anyone can remember and we’ve always been here to
fight It.

I’ve been very fortunate to have two long weekends in this very wonderful place… a place that you can’t really see in this photograph of some tiles… But aren’t they nice tiles? Yes they are.

Sometimes I don’t like flying so much

DuSuileach

There’s a good mate of mine working on her first album. It’s good stuff – it’s heartfelt (and I don’t use that word loosely) good music.

She’s working on her own site right now – not quite ready yet – in time for the album’s release. But in the mean time give her drafts a listen at her MySpace page.

Sad Kermit

What else annoys me?

What else annoys me? Getting stuck behind two slow slow SLOW moving women in the supermarket who demand to know, as they refuse and scoff at canvas bags, if the many many plastic bags they are using are recycled. Fuckheads.

What annoys me?

A researcher refering to a school field trip as ‘ moving onto emergent learning’, that’s what .
Ah c’mon! Having a show and tell and a nature table on a big scale is good teaching certainly but it is not groundbreaking research.

Flights like flocks

Like synchronised swimmers. One, two, and the flood starts.

An hour before the flight and the flood begins. Even in priority boarding. “Gah they’re flocking” I think, as they jump up to join a queue that’s only forming because it is. Some sit in unison as well. They stand as one and sit as one on the ground, claiming their place.

And I can feel the tension too. I have to resist the urge to join them like a zombie’s girlfriend finally giving in and offering up my precious brain (or in my case, seat) to stand swaying with my zombie brethern, tired and listless but free from choice.

Happy finally.
