before I’m back in the hills In these…

… before I’m back in the hills!

In these 10 days,

  • we set up an appointment for Chewie to lose parts of his manhood
  • my sister moves to the UK
  • my partner’s sisters visit us for a vacation
  • N, partner’s only girlfriend I constantly hit on, visits us

And yet, the only thing that gets my heart racing, is the thought of the hills awaiting me at end of those 10 days.

I love hills :)

Not just fornication..

Why do I like Californication. It’s not just the fornication.

I can identify with Hank. We’re both overflowing with darkness, yet are eternal optimists at heart. To really hurt us, stab at that optimism, that confidence. It hurts far more than a kick in the face.

And, we both are so quick at saying good bye, yet so bad at letting go. That hurts too.

Also, the fornication. I like the fornication bit of the series too ;)

Solace in Chaos

After yesterday’s heavy exercise, I needed a load of coffee to get myself working today. So, settled down in a cafe to work, instead of my regular work space.

It’s a shocking surprise how much more efficient I’m here in this noisy, chaotic cafe, than I’m at my usual, super-quiet work space.

One immediate reason I grasped upon was the fact that there is so much noise here, that I’m unable to comprehend, and thus get distracted by, anything. In the usual workplace, everything and everyone is so quiet that even a whisper across the hall is clearly audible and understood. Each whisper, each motion, every door opening is a disturbance, a distraction.

Ironic, but surprisingly true, I’ve found solace in this chaos :)
