A digital misfit

MasaManiA gets the decorators in… “The good thing about these pictures are all the ppl in the background who are not dressed as those in the foreground are. The bad thing about these pictures is that for the first time in my life I thought someone wearing hot pink sneakers was quite normally dressed. :)”

That to move in different spheres will bring the changes we most fear

Its been a long week, with far too much heat in it, I was hoping this afternoons storm would calm things a little, but we’re already back to the humidity.

Tuesday saw me meeting up with some of the old Symbian crowd, who were out celebrating shipping something. Good to catch up with them again, though it seems not much has changed since I left.

Then last night was the moved Calling, the Kambar had been booked for the tuesday so the Calling moved to Thursday, for one night only. Clubs make so much more sense on thursday nights than tuesday – it only wrecks one day not the whole week. It was an odd night, far too hot for dancing, but the music was better than normal. The heat wasn’t stopping everyone, indeed, people were showing rather more of themselves than normal, showing their scars rather more than I felt comfortable with – they’re not all accidents, are they?

The heat reminded me of the Tokyo clubbing experience, where the club is in a wonderfully air conditioned building, making it comfortable to dance. Then, at the end of the night, you leave into the humid heat and the sunrise, the sky like something from Gibsons future.


Yellow

Everything sounds yellow

Why are they demolishing the world, its only 8-oclock in the morning

I want to be asleep

(my thoughts on waking up, coherency achieved in 1hr30, not bad for a tuesday)


Feeling a bit stupid today – I think I must’ve spent too much time in the sun yesterday, wandering around the French market in Ely. Not quite sure howcome I caught the sun so bad, I spent loads of days under the blistering sun in Tokyo without any such problems. Dammit.

Still, its not all bad news – congratulations due to ladycat for taking a photo of me that I don’t completely hate.
