The Good News:
Iron and Wine's coming to NZ next weekend! Whoah!
The Bad News:
Iron and Wine's coming to NZ next weekend. Argh.
Why the 'argh'? I've got a 2-day mandatory fieldtrip going on that same weekend. Argh.

Get Me Away From Here...
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you, sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"
~ Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying - Belle and Sebastian
Since when do I listen to B&S? Hmm.
By Jove, I'm surrounded by flying crickets. Coincidentally, my room has also turned into bug haven. Mental note: throw away month-old bananas...when they're a month old. Also, remember to actually clean my bed once in a while. I plopped down on it three days ago and caused a bunch of insects to fly out from under my covers.
No, I'm just kidding about that last reminder.
On a happier note, my first official kendo competition is next week. Right after an essay due date and two days before an assignment due date. Lovely. Not to mention my second official kendo competition, which is exactly 7 days after. Oh, yes. Bring it on.

This heart, my thread, I tried so hard.
The best that I could sew was death,
no matter how I covered it with deeds.
What's there left to do?
Because the mud only covers up the stains…
who could imagine a holiday at the sea?
Down there, in the sea,
I should hold my breath
'til this other person's blood is washing off of me.
~ A Holiday At The Sea - Anathallo
I somehow managed to have this song tucked away in a rarely-opened folder. So it was a surprise when I found and put it on.
Regardless of what the lyrics actually mean (sounds a tad religious, come to think of it), it's an awesome song. The musical arrangement is somewhat reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens mixed with a bit of Hey Mercedes...strange at first, but gets better with every replay.
So yes, I'm pretty happy.
