‘Long time no update’

and it has become a testimonial evidence to my deteriorating English, and I thank this to a large number of literally mind-numbing occasions.

I admittedly harbour a placid form of hatred towards updating after a hiatus; there’s one thing to decide on what to say, and the other is wondering how to say it.

Not that anyone would care anyway, but I try, at the very least.

Let’s see…

I was sick. Very sick. Sort of. I had fever coming down on me in an on-off basis, like continually reheating your soup and putting it back to the freezer. It will escalate into something dreadful, then tone down and eventually cool into blissful normality, and blink an hour or two the heat is back. Rinse, repeat for 5 days.

Maybe I’m not in place to justify things like this, but this fever caused me a lot of trouble in trying to keep up with assignments. At the end my assignments were, thankfully, completed with the appropriate amount of hassle. But there are things that happened in the way, and I figured then I’d just grit my teeth and get through it.

A whole week now, my teeth are sore and things got a little better, but still, there’s that spot of cancer in the left cerebrum, which I figure won’t go curing itself in a while. Or maybe never. I leave the future to decide itself.

But if there’s one thing to be proud of, is that my group assignment newspaper got done without too much of a nerve-wreckage, and this I owe it to my excellent group members. Jerry in particular; his software skills saved us all from pandemonium. We had a group picture with the finished product, which perhaps I will upload into this when I get home.

Ah, right, I’m sitting in front of a century old monitor that refuses to brighten its display, typing on a keyboard that is worn with use and using an internet connection that reminded me of the good old dial-up days (the memories came back relentlessly; flashes of cruel and frustrating moments, pinnacles of my lost in mental control. Tis sad, tis sad indeed). But University stuff, so I shan’t complain.

I brood and scowl, so I guess it’ll do.

The bulk of assignments have gone down to… 3. Yeah. And this is the last week of deadlines.

After that is jolly jolly jolly exams...

The Spinto Band
Mountains

I've got mountains of problems.
They all catch me off guard and
start when I'm not looking.
They make noise when I'm sleeping.

I've got mountains of mistakes.
They all come back to haunt me.
Every fork in the road I didn't take
has never once cut me a break.

So I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
My priorities and views are beginning askew.

Got a new code of ethics
used to think was pathetic.
Now I'm reaping benefits
Out of all my new conquests.

Got a new way of speaking
think it's rather ingenious.
[I'm in a mountain of three syllables
or less you really want to sound modest.]

So I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
He'll make all my dreams come true
since I've got nothing to lose.
I've got nothing to lose.

Oh, I don't understand you weren't invited but you came.
And I can't comprehend how she still don't know my name.

It's still the same, nothing has changed.

I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
My priorities and views are beginning askew.
I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
He'll make all my dreams come true
since I've got nothing to lose.

I've got nothing to lose
