waiting on the world to change

John Mayer - waiting on the world to change

also, today I saw Nate James. he seemed nice

hotdog

today, I bought a large hotdog as comfort food. it was sooo tasty... except I accidentally asked for cheese, even though I disagreed with them charging me 15p for it, so didn't mean to.

the 'point' of this is, see - as I was walking along the road eating it, feeling a bit glum, I passed a 3 piece jazz band who were playing on the side of the road. their music was pleasant, and my gaze followed them as I walked past. at which point, one of the singers said/sang "hotdog!", and the song ended...

I smiled, and as I walked off heard the happy sound of a voice saying "and the next song we're going to play for you is called... hotdog", and the music started up again.

yesterday's attack

on sunday, 45 people were killed when a car loaded with explosives drove into the labour party building on silent street, Ipswich. it was the second suicide attack in mainly british area in the past week.

a car bombing in the same area last month killed 140 people, the bloodiest attack since the recent announcement.


<sub>actually, it didn't happen in Ipswich - it happened here.

snow day

today is a snow day. this means that for some reason you don't question the fact that you just saw a group of kids off school, walking through town with a body board.










here's a picture I took a while back...

modern art

whilst walking from christchurch park today, I passed two ladies walking towards the park - and heard this comment (presumably on feeding the ducks):

"that'd make a great art project. just get a paddling pool, fill it with water, and chuck a ****load of bread in it"


I agree. t'would make a good social commentary, I feel.
