Jerusalem, lift up your voice and sing

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

A panorama that I took and stitched together in Photoshop. You can see the Dome of the Rock just off the middle on the left. Gosh, I miss Israel. Innit pretty :) Look at the blue blue sky…
All those stone things along the bottom of the picture, incidentally, are tombs. [...]

Barenaked lady

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

Yeah, that’s me - emotions-wise.  I wear my heart on my sleeve and my feelings on my face.  I’ve never been an exceptionally good liar nor able to hide something for long.  I bubble over.  I share.  I don’t keep things in. I guess that’s just my style.
I guess I just might be a lifetime [...]

I was just thinking, and

I wonder what you’re doing right now.

‘Just Another Plane’ by Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Found a reference to one of her songs in a fan fiction I was reading, uh, at work :D followed it to this one.  Pretty.
To some it’s just another plane
Rolling up to the gate
It landed in the pouring rain
Twenty minutes late
Stopping right on the mark
And they do it every day
It’s just another boring Monday morning
Just [...]

Kew’l.

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Things that make me happy early in the morning:
- seeing that Liverpool is now on par with Manchester United in terms of points in the Premiership table 
- seeing that Liverpool has beaten Manchester City with a 1-0 win
- seeing that Harry Kewell scored the only goal!
I and my number seven jersey are vindicated.  Ha.  Kewell rawks!

Mom’s birthday

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Happy birthday Mommy :)

They dance.

Sunday lunch - salad with feta cheese and vinaigrette, smoked duck, egg mayo and bread, with Earl Gray tea :)

The book I bought for her birthday…

…and she likes it (so do I)!

Dinner at Borshch* (not good in Scrabble; accepted spellings are BORSCH, BORSCHT, BORTSCH, BOSCHE) then dessert at Ice³. My [...]

Piecemeal

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

I can mend. I can sew. Holes in fabric I can patch, snapped things I can glue together. Paper can be stuck back with tape.
But there are some things I can’t mend - broken bones, broken hearts.
Broken dreams.
You’d think I’d have the good sense to stay away from those.
Why do I find [...]

‘Manner and Means’ by Caedmon’s Call

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

…more than I thought, less than I expected, and more than you will ever know.
It isn’t easy.
The heart is a lonely thing to lose in the dead of night
The heart is a sad thing to lose in the throes of a fight
The heart is the match to the fire
And the embers of desire, to keep [...]

Wistfully enough

Friday, February 24th, 2006

You know, I suddenly remembered this suggestion you made before, but we never carried out.  You’d said it would be fun to go to a photobooth - no, not the Neoprint ones, you laughed, those instant passport photo booths, you know the type; and I nodded and smiled - and take a strip of photos, [...]
