"Inside this shell there's a prison cell."

Silly Putty is therapy. Cheap, cheap therapy. So is any song by Switchfoot. I still don't understand how Jon Foreman writes music that seems like it was ripped out of my soul and pieced together from the leftover scraps of things I could never bring myself to say. Bullet Soul lyrics I want to sing one for all the dreamers I'm singing this one for the sparks Here's one for the friction ...

So the last time I went on a vacation I didn't tell a ton of people I was going and I think some people thought I had fallen off the face of the earth because, let's face it, that happens sometimes. But hi, I was gone for the last ten days! I WAS ON A CRUISE BOAT MOTHERFUCKER DON'T YOU EVER FORGET Here is what happened: I got on a boat My brother got married I spent some more time in...

Weekend in M'sia for Darren & Celine's Wedding...

Had a fabulous weekend, both fun-filled and food-filled in M'sia. Followed Justin's car up to Muar and ate all the yummy stuff we'll always eat when we head in to M'sia with the CWS folks. Starting off with Kway Teow Kia in JB, then Ban Lan Tau Sar Piah, then Cai Pan in Kelapa Sawit, then Beef Noodles in Tangkak, then Elephant Beans Coffee at Chai Kee in Muar. After which is Darren's place for ...

Writing, Books and Holidays

... up some strength before you can tackle any big projects. I'm looking at a big stretch of time when I could be working on a project if I'm ready. Julie and I aren't planning to go on any big vacations this summer. So either I should get a summer job and clear off some debt or I should write. (Great incentive to write, isn't it???) Also, I've decided, after a couple of months of lurking that I ...

The one thing I don't regret

... to juggle one huge element of my life at a time. I am really lucky. It's not to say I don't sacrifice either though. During the summers, when everyone else has school lifted from their shoulders and vacations or full weeks planned with friends, I squarely place social isolation and a job on mine. It's a give and take thing, and I am glad I took the 4 working months over the 3 carefree months of ...

101 Things Germany isn't allowed to do during World Meetings (and any other time)

... he’s playing with Greece’s cats or Hanatamago. – If I do I should make sure that Romano’s not watching. I’m not allowed to walk to Spain during the break and make sure that I’ll take my vacations at his house next summer. – especially if the Italy bros. are around.

(fic) two by the unspoiled shore (4)

.... He'll try again tomorrow. Tomorrow goes, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. He tries every day for a week but nobody opens the door. Dan feels stupid for trying when he realizes that not every family vacations at the same time, and there is no reason to be worried. Halfway through the summer he tries again, and this time, a young, exuberant woman opens the door, all bouncing blonde curls and red ...

Family Photos 1979: 1-20.

...that she took the film to different developers. However, my mom said no, it meant that the photos were taken with two different cameras. My mom thought this must mean that they represented two different vacations, because she wouldn't have used two different cameras. However, comparing the two sets of photos proved to me that it was from the same vacation since us kids were the same sizes in both ...

turn, turn, turn 1/3

... at it. On the fridge is a calendar with notes and circles, and things tacked on to it. They’re busy, clearly, but most of the events seem like joint things; concerts, parties, movies. And vacations too apparently, if the picture in the kitschy framed photo means anything. A broad strip of white beach is behind them, a hint of bright blue beyond that, and their both in summery clothes. The drizzle...
