A Window to my World [X]

"Midnight, 

Not a sound from the pavement 

Has the moon lost her memory? 

She is smiling alone"

So it's my favourite time of day again and I am sitting at the computer and watching the world through streams of data drifting about in cyberspace. Seems like an interesting place to be, yes? Ah well, if you think about it, the Internet is a lot like Sauron's eye, enough to give me the creep sometimes and make me shy away from writing for a very, very long time. 

Nah, that's just a load of rubbish, really... the only reason I haven't been writing is that I've been busy, and lazy and uninspired during the times that I haven't been busy. Nothing particularly new given the situation in the last few months. Nevertheless, I managed to go on another trip to the hills a couple of weeks back, so that is something that has kept me fairly sane. Not that the wanderlust has faded, mind you, but it was a rather welcome break, and I've come back feeling well-rested and at peace. The mountains do that to you. Just the fact that you're a few hundred feet above regular life is like a breath of fresh air while drowning.

What has happened is that I've resigned myself to the fact that this city is my Hotel California... at least for a while. It stings a little less now than it did even a month back, but yes, time slaps you into getting used to just about anything. I am quite the believer when it comes to this.

Other than that, if I were to review the present status of my hobbies, or, my "old life", it would go something like this:

• Writing :: Mount Vesuvius
• Music :: Mount Kilimanjaro
• Artwork/ Photography :: Mauna Kea

Yes, it is rather sad that I'm comparing the state of my hobbies to dormant volcanoes. My mother would be proud of the analogy, although for completely different reasons.

Still, time never stops flowing. I recently finished watching Season Three of Game of Thrones and also the first and second season of Suits. Fun times. At least my hard drive has a few movies that I could watch to amuse myself, even though the last movie I had time to watch in the theatre was Star Trek. Now I'm certain that I sound like one of those Lonely Cat Ladies, but I assure you that I am not. Getting there? Maybe. "Not today, not today", though. 

LD out.
