you know, important stuff. like the end of the world, or whether being kissed is really a big deal.
i started writing this post earlier, but then my computer at it, so here i am starting again. as always i was more eloquent in my opeining the first time around, but here is what you get now.
last night i watched 500 Days of Summer. good movie, funny and thinkable. you know, when you come out with a pondering? towards the end of the movie there is a narrative aboutthe average day, you wake up, you go to work, you come home, nothing special happens and your life is not particularly changed. one exact line is "most days have no impact on the course of a life." I disagree, just a little. kinda. the thought that nothing changes day to day, but when you look back everything has changed. i think everyday does have an imact on your life, you just don't realise it. it's so small you don't see it. the world loses it's magic, and we fail to see these tiny little pieces of change. why does the world lose it's magic? i think knowledge blinds us. we see a plant flower, and instead of being amazed by the beauty and nature of it's existenxe, we remember what we learned in science class when we were 15. this is how the world loses it's magic. but regardless of what we "know" we should still be amazed. still look for the magic.
i sort of changed topics there, but it's my mind, and my blog, so get used to it. as i said to someone who made a comment recently that the angle sucked - suck it up, this is about me right now.

the end of the world
is not due for another three years... but looking outside today you think it was now. Sydney is trending on twitter, and dust storm photo's are all over flicker and face book. it's like the rangapocolypse out there.
when i woke up this morning at about 7am, the light coming in my window was very yellow. so rather than press snooze i woke up and got out my camera. i didn't take this photo, this is one from designdyke Dan Warby. it looked my car had a new paint job over night. the roads are covered in dust, the trees are brown, and it's horrible to breath, esp as my lungs are still not 100% with the tail end of bronchitis. i can't explain how it feels to be out walking in a world that is normally bright, with blue and green tones, to have the whole thing turned orangey yellow. if you were colour blind, you wouldn't notice it, it would just look like a really thick fog that makes you sneeze. it's a very fine dust.
this apocalyptic outside world is making me feel a little weird. hard to describe, maybe trance like. time is moving slowly, but i am working efficiently. sounds are removed, like there is a greater distance than usual between myself and my colleagues. and all because the world outside is dusty and apricot coloured.
that is all

today i will twitlonger
i was going to tweet all of this, but then decided i had more to say.
This morning i sang with a firend - it was fun and we are going to be awesome!. audition to do a song from Rent in our next choir concert. Doing Take me or Leave me - with a little bot of creative staging we are making it a proposal song, to go with the theme of the concert which is Gay marriage.
I washed the car today - actually i washed two cars today, mine and mum's. She drives a strange bargain - she wanted me to do stuff - you know, important stuff - and i wanted to wash my car. she said i could wash mine if i did hers too. OK. no probs. two cars washed. and i mean i actually got out the hose and the bucket and washed them myself, none of this have coffee while i pay someone else to do it... got a little sun enough to make the back of my neck just a little pink. matches my new purple hair... love the aussie sun - hot enough to burn you in the time it takes to wash two cars... this is why i don't go out in it too often... i don't tan, i burn then peel...
