Another one of these…
It’s the typical “I haven’t posted for so long” post.
It looks like that I’m back to my “Lemon Tree” days. “I’m wasting my time, I’ve got nothing to do [...] Nothing ever happens, and I wonder…”
Speaking of songs, the songs from Ilona Mitrecey’s latest album are very catchy. I’m actually listening to one of those songs right now, but I can’t put that in the “Currently…” section because Amazon doesn’t have that album. In fact, one of the reasons why I never put any music in that section is because the music that I listen to never seems to be there. Then again, the name of the album and the title song is actually related to the book that I’m reading. The book “Out of Thin Air” is about how the fluctuations in the oxygen levels in the atmosphere stimulated the evolution of animals (because animals with more efficient respiration have evolutionary advantage in a low-oxygen environment), and Ilona’s album is called “Laissez-nous Respirer” (“Let us Breathe”). The title song is about how pollution is making people ill (especially air pollution, hence the title), and it is a plea for us to stop polluting the Earth and save the animals, which makes it kind of relevant to the book. Wow, another “everything is related to everything else” situation.
I also want to point out that track 4 of that album contains a misplaced apostrophe in its title. That song is titled “Kid’s of the Universe” [sic], where the word “kids” is a plural which should not have an apostrophe. This reminds me of the bus stop sign at Burwood that also had a misplaced apostrophe. I even took a photo of that. Somehow, I never posted the photo here even though I originally took it just because I wanted to put it here.
Really, it’s not really “nothing ever happens” like Lemon Tree for me. I finally bought the tablet that I’ve always wanted. It’s a Wacom ituos3 9″ x 12″. Now I just need to figure out how to take it back to Sydney. I can never travel light. I had to bring my books with me, and then beads for making presents, not to mention clothes and all that. I should start packing now.
