Human Behavior (Bjork)

If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so irresistible
There's no map
To human behaviour
They're terribly moody
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so satisfying
There's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behaviour

Along the dirty walls I saw it.

All right so something that is pretty freaking neat, is this. Tell me if the link doesn't work, while I still remember where I got it from.

My mind has never been so unfocused. I am tired and bored and have lots of things I need to shove into my brain. I need to start now...right now.

I just thought you guys needed a picture, so I thought I'd post this.

Super depressing episode?

I ask you, do you buy it?

The last few days have been nerve wracking...and the end is nowhere in sight, it appears. I am finding some comfort in the Entourage. If I haven't told you about this, it's the new show that I seem to be watching lots of. It is actually making progress now and how. Though I'm not enjoying where it's going. We both know I'll keep watching and you should too.

Does anyone have a book recommendation? I just finished reading this and it really made me look at humanity with a whole new light. Moral issues shouldn't be judged relative to humans. Picture the stares I got while reading that on the bus, it was so much worse than they could possibly imagine. That was a very humbling book...My parents are going there in a few weeks. Whenever I picture a place like that, it's always cloudy. The weather doesn't care about what happened in the past.

Time flies when you're having fun

I love when middle aged white women (I think) describe the new hip fad, as one did here

The new site that I am going to all the time now is this and here is a good entry, I'm sure we've all had those moments. It is for entertainment only, it is no source of anything particularly enlightening. The plan is to become friends with the owner of the site.

Check out the face cookies! (I found this on digi from way back when)

The Signs are Clear

It's that time of the week again... time for a new entry, that is.

If you look to your right, there should be a new link called, painfully long. If you have a lot of time to kill, you should check it out. Which leads me to the next link, if you're lacking creativity but want to create something great, click here.

I will do you a favour and not include any photos today...but expect lots soon, my camera is now back in the game.

Here is some music...some of which is old but better late than never.

The Virgins - "Fight to Survive" (the others are good)
Belle & Sebastian - "Life Pursuit" - I am liking the album, though it's not my favourite B&S, but has led to a B&S binge.
Final Fantasy - not from the video game. he's just cool. I saw him a few years back, he plays barefoot.
The Decemberists - "In the Kingdom of Spain" (a b-side! and will require a few listens)

I've been given some music which is currently on my mp3 player but I am hesistant to listen to it because I'm pretty sure I won't like it

Thanks to IR(848) for posting and editing, among other things.

One Thousand Words

There was a request for SLR shots (comment on last post), which I just got, because they are photographs, remember those? They're made with cameras...and those are filled with film and film takes a a few days to be developed. I can't wait to have to explain this to kids, they'll think I made it all up, like how I used to walk 15 kilometres to school uphill, both ways, in the snow everyday, even in the summer. Don't kid yourselves, my parents tried to pull that on me.

Come along with me,
Take a look around,
and tell me what you see.
Is it hard to see?
I did my best, but it's not as magical,
Things like this cannot be captured.

The world is up in arms and I have to analyse a poem, it seems trivial. There was an article I wanted to share, but I have no idea what it was. I have to start posting good things again, soon I hope. Look at this in the meantime.

Coasted!

That title reminds me of an embarrassing situation involving me, my dad, and 2 friends, during the "my parents are so lame" phase of my life.

The trip was truly a vacation. I slept waaaay too much but I did some intense sightseeing and had some intense experiences...

I crossed an intersection that lonely planet sites as "should be avoided, especially at night" thinking it was the safest route to go...I definitely darted through there though. I ate fresh tofu though, and it was really good.

We saw the Animal Collective and had to leave early, it just wasn't good, no other way of explaining it, well the reason they weren't good is that they weren't playing any album songs. At one point, I can only describe the sounds I heard as a train going through an aquarium. Speaking of which, we went to the aquarium in Vancouver and it was pretty neat. They had lots of freshwater fish, which is rather unusual for aquariums. We deemed one fish "PoMo" fish and it was super, turns out it was this and it looks far nicer in person.

We were hipsters for the week.

There is a certain charm in traveling an unfamiliar city alone. I think my favourite part of the trip was sitting on the beach and reading. It was cold and windy and I was wearing mittens, but I sat there for a long time, the water was soothing.

Here are some photos, they aren't great, but it's mostly because it wasn't my camera and I didn't want to lose it.

My accommodations...the beach is down below.

The beach downtown...

where I sat and read for a while

I followed the path around the nearby park.

Chinatown in the distance. I took this from Science World, where children run wild.

Wait for the SLR shots, I hope they're better.

*UPDATE*
Since there have been two requests to hear what that reference to the embarassing story was, I'll share since I'm quite over it and today was far more embarassing. Anyway, I must have been 14 or 15 and my dad was giving me and two friends* a ride home from some place. Now one of those friend's dad is a professional pilot and with that information, my dad somehow figured out that he was friends with the pilot's uncle. Upon figuring this out, he points to my friend in the back seat and says "toasted!" Many years later, I think what he meant was, "gotcha."

(for those who remember, Shabs and Beer)
