TV

Today I realised that the only way to deal with disillusionment in a world deprived of heroes is to shut it out and watch TV on Youtube. It's what I did in my darkened room at twilight this evening. I felt so safe and blessed. I watched The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2007. It was quite funny and kept me watching uploaded part after uploaded part. PV was fun yesterday but the urge to crawl inside my shell is still NOT negligible.

Important Expeditions

Yesterday I was so depressed I went on a long expedition in search of Radiohead's In Rainbows in the evening, similar to the one I had undertaken around five years ago in order to buy Ok Computer.I was feeling rather sad so I figured an hour going round on a rickety old bus in the gray sticky weather with my mp3 headphones stuck into my ears would do no harm. All the shops in Valletta did not have it. One particular salesman acted as if he did not know it was their latest album, which probably means he did not know it is their latest album, which makes him rather.. um.. inappropriate for his own job. I'm not one to ride on a ridiculous high horse and think Radiohead are uber cool and everyone should like them BUT I do expect someone who works at a record shop to know that a band as famous as Radiohead released an album. Nyways, I had nothing better to do so caught the bus off to Baystreet. The salesman there was refreshingly more knowledgeable but this led him to purchase the last copy of the album himself, so I headed back home with the promise that more copies were on the way. As you might have realised, I'm going through a bit of lull in the business of making myself happy. I don't know if the cocktail of Conrad, Radiohead and The Dark Knight OST is to blame, but I'm more inclined to think of it as a symptom of my glaring inability to make my life mean anything. I feel so tired and lethargic all the time, and I'm fed up of the same old places. I realised that what I really wanna do after I finish my degree is go get a Masters in Britain, but that sounds like impossibly hard and expensive. Besides I do think I'm a bit too lazy to take my studies that notch higher. And I know that I'll still do bally naught with a Masters as regards employability, but at least I'll be specialising in what I love and living in another country for a while. But knowing me I just won't have the guts :(

Before I leave I have to show you this: This guy is 40 friggin years old. And he's more handsome than ever. AND he plays in one of the best bands ever! Why aren't there more like him?



Till next time

Batmannnn!

I was reading through some earlier posts and got an inexplicable urge to blog again, even though I doubt anyone reads this anymore. I have no idea how I'm going to go through life without marrying Christian Bale dressed up as Bruce Wayne (a.k.a guy behind the Bat mask). Italia Uno broadcast Batman Begins and I watched it for something like the fifth time if you count the times I rented it, and I did not get bored, not for one millisecond!

In other news, I've fallen in love with this song: Ceremony by New Order. It was on the Marie Antoinette soundtrack as well:)



pls excuse the crap video. There's also a Radiohead cover of the song which you can find among the related videos which appear after this vid ends.

I wish I could write more but it's one thirty and I need to go to sleep.

Much love
