Of music nerdery and insatiable wanderlust

Yesterday, I heard about a documentary film made for some Australian film festival, called "4". All it is is four different violinists in four different parts of the world, each showing an insight into life there in four different seasons, and each of them is playing a movement of Vivaldi's four seasons. Spring is set in Japan, summer in Australia, autumn in the United States and winter in Finland.

I really like the idea of this, since it ties in my music obsession with my massive desiresee things in the world, to not to mention my interest in the countries of Japan and Finland.Unfortunately, said film seems to be nigh impossible to get hold of. Still, I found a littleYouTube. bit of it on

Peace & Love

Of hiding in bedrooms and camels

Yesterday I went to a party at Georgie's. It involved being delivered free ice cream by a guy who isn't called Camel, and then barricading ourselves in Georgie's room in order to hide from her brother's rowdy drunken friends. We contemplated throwing Georgie's poster of Turisas at them, then decided against it.

Back to school tomorrow. Ugh.

Music today comes from PAIN. Is it bad that I find this video hysterically funny?

PAIN - Zombie Slam

Peace & Love

Of feelings of guilt and The Piano

 Feelings of guilt. Hmm.

I'll be honest. My life's pretty dandy right now. I've just come out of the best year of my life, and this one, so far, is looking good too. The trouble is, a lot of people who are very close to me are having a shit time of life. And I wish to God that I could help them. But I know that there's absolutely nothing I can do, save the occasional hug and trying to make sure they know that I'm there for them. However, the fact still remains that hugs can't change anything, however good they make you feel. I feel absolutely helpless... I can't even try and describe how bad it makes me feel, even though things in my own lifelooking up. are

I watched The Piano yesterday. Other than the sheer amount of unneccesary sex scenes(ONE WAS ENOUGH!) it was the one of the best films I've ever seen. And the soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. ( Michael Nyman for the win!)

Peace & Love
