for the longest time, i used to love the sound of Enya until i heard Dido. though they are both similar--haunting voices-- dido scores when it comes to lyrics... enya leans more towards the notes while dido combines both.

life for rent-dido
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
As there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

swish

what if you were sitting on the beach, were two tequilas down, and saw a great big wave taller than the highest mountain you have ever seen, coming your way... would you even try to run, or hold on to the one you love/d and say goodbye?

"just go with the flow" -- i am going to think twice before using that phrase again!!

two types

there are two types of people i know now--those who upgrade their looks and the others who upgrade their computers. both are equally interesting to know. i would never call the former ones fruitcakes nor would i refer to the latter as geeks. depending on the mood of the moment, i can connect with either one of them. one thing is for sure though: i now know more of the latter than the former. it's all about occupying different places at different stages in your life...

shrinking

seems like the list of people i like spending time with in real life is fast shrinking. the list now largely comprises characters on screen or in books.

OHMIGOD

i am not a jokes kinda person...i mostly forget the ones i hear and don't enjoy hearing new ones either...but this is one that i keep going back to time and again coz it gets funnier with each passing day.

Monica: I can't decide between lamb or duck.

Chandler: Well, of course, lambs are scarier. Otherwise the movie would've
been called "Silence of the Ducks".

justice this

i have seen over time that people who are kind to animals are extremely unkind to people

words don't come easy

two words that we can't live without or so the media would have us believe
-- outsourcing and metrosexual

go shaun

saw a bizarre movie the other day called shaun of the dead...it is listed as one of the 100 movies of 2004 to not miss. the story was strange but so wonderfully executed that it left you very impressed. basically it was a horror story woven into present day humour which was so subtly done that even though it was full of cliches, the cliches were worth every bit of your Sunday afternoon!!

coming back to the list of 2004 movies not to miss, i've seen around 5, so its 95 more to go... and 2004 is fast on its way out!
