to start liking Damien Rice with Lisa Hannigan.

I
这两个人怎么可能只有professional relationship?

II
I wanna have a complete collection of Damien Rice's albums

And a kick-ass sound system in my room

And a rock-n-roll version on the go

These, are my wishlist for Christmas In July.

You can't change the past, but the future could be a different story.
And it had to start somewhere.

 



I guess, you were there in my life, to make me a better person.

I guess I need to thank you all, for my life.

You think too much of the love of human beings; you are too impulsive, too vehement:
The sovereign hand that created your frame, and put life into it, has provided you with other resources than your feeble self, or than creatures feeble as you.
Besides this earth, and besides the race of men, there is an invisible world and a kingdom of spirits:
that world is round us, for it is everywhere; and those spirits watch us, for they are commissioned to guard us; and if we were dying in pain and shame, if scorn smote us on all sides, and hatred crushed us, angels see our tortures, recognise our innocence, and God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward.
Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness - to glory?

Everybody screws up.
That's what happens.
It's what you do with the screw-ups.
It's how you handle the experience.
That's what you should judge yourself by.

One might have taken a detour, but one might end up some place good.

Fingers crossed.

BBC has made a production (a series of 4 episodes) on Jane Eyre.
I saw it accidentally on the DVD shelves at Monash Library and grabbed it along with the others.
I always enjoy watching modern productions (I've been thinking about the word 'recollection' but am not sure if it is the correct one I'd be after...) of great classic literature.

Somehow, I bought Jane Eyre (Vintage Classic) at Angus and Robertson roughly a month ago. It's been lying on the carpet below my bed for so long.
My aroused interest has grown intense after finishing the series.
Jane is incredibly strong-willed, and very much determined about what she wants.
Yes Jane and Rochester have gone through stumbles and obstacles that the outsiders would find them very hard to overcome.
At the end, its 'happily ever after'.

I still need to pinch my arm and tell myself that after all, it is all fictional.
