Quarter-Life Crisis

"When I wake up,
and the day begins,
do I hold my breath
and count to ten?
Or will it be three?
We'll see, we'll see.
It depends on which day of the week."

Love comes from the most unexpected places...

Feeling deflated. Up at this godforsaken hour, working. I've somehow slipped down the slope of staying up later and later. As far as I can tell there's no way to get back up it. Help me. There's just so much on my mind at the moment, I'm drunk from all of these thoughts.

I can no longer think ahead in time further than a day. The future doesn't exist, I tell myself. The only time and place is now. Which is why I'm gonna be screwed when exams begin to rear their ugly heads out from their cage.

While Left Brain has been working his arse off, Right Brain has been feeling lonely and neglected as I ignored him. Plus I'm hungry, but i'm far too tired and too naked to go make something in the kitchen. So with an apple in one hand I started to sort and process some photos from last week. Then I sat by the piano and bashed around on that thing for a while playing this awesome song from an anime called Nodame Cantabile. Pretty.

Here are some photos courtesy of Right Brain while Lefty takes a break.


"Love comes from the most unexpected places"
It could be from someone you've known all along, or from some stranger's eyes you've never met. I'm not sure how or why I came up with this, it just popped into my head when I saw the little petals. It didn't help that it was bloody windy...


"No Diving or Swimming"
Better do as it says.


No good comes from all work and no play. Don't let anything get the best of you. I am deflated no more. Art is my air hose.

The Fifth Beatle

Oh my... this video is so full of win. And to quote John Mayer, I can't imagine how much my quality of life would improve if I were to begin every day with this video projected on my bedroom wall. Not only does it involve two music legends but the song's chorus is a visual experience in itself. Who knew he could move like that?

Fragmented

Purple Fluff

Bobo

I completely forgot about this photo, so when I stumbled upon it I was like...*sigh*

Damn, I miss those little buggers.

The Bod in the Night

Eerie...

The Rad Cam we all know and love.


Also took some portraits once I got bored. Those street lamps are a biatch as a light source...

Goldilocks' Revenge

Emilio

I don't actually know the horse's real name, I call him Emilio.

Footsteps

I haven't touched my camera for weeks, so since I have some free time before lectures and all that begin, I thought I may as well use it to take some photos.



I have really small feet...

Seriously though. Chopstick. A cup of water. Tissue. In case anyone was wondering.

I Have Space!

Payed a little visit to Ikea in Wembley and came back with a new desk. Woot. It was my first time there or any Ikea and I have to say it was a pretty strange experience. They give you a pencil and a piece of paper before you make your way around the showroom. If you saw an item you liked, you would jot down the 2 numbers on a label attached. Upon reaching the end of the maze, you are thrown into a huge warehouse where you have to fetch your boxes off of the palettes. I found it strangely fun... kind of like a treasure hunt...

I have so much space now, well, compared to my old desk. I'll probably pile it up with junk in no time anyway.


Satisfied my craving for DIY nicely... for a little while.

Soon after, I got bored of work again so I decided to fold some paper :).



God I love building crap.

Rats of the Sky!

Just a little gathering of pigeons, waiting to take a dump on unsuspecting passer-bys...

Cotton Buds

Sweet, Sweet Lavender

Was bored and thought I'd have a look through old photos and found this. Don't even remember taking it...

Long Way Down...

What is a trip to New York without a visit to the Empire State Building? There was a massive queue and the tickets were ridiculously expensive, surprise surprise... After my wallet was considerably lighter, we made our way through a labyrinth to reach the elevator that is used exclusively for tourists. Upon reaching our floor we walked into an empty room covered in concrete with scaffolding in the corner... we were then ambushed by a whole host of people trying to sell us junk; audio tours, souvenirs etc and they even had us stand in front of a blue screen for a photograph which they would then try to flog to us! It began to feel more like a theme park ride than a skyscraper...

Now the tallest building in NYC since 11/9/01, it was a pretty impressive view from the top. This was taken from the 88th floor... I think; can't remember. I peered beyond the metal fence and looked down at Manhattan and everything was like a model! The little toy cars looked like ants and you could barely make out the fuzzy blobs of people. I held my camera over the edge as if I was holding on for my life and just fired blindly.

This is looking south; Time Square is just above the centre and the Statue of Liberty is that little speck at the back.

Strangely, looking back at this photo makes me want to go jump out of a plane more than ever...
