travel and be merry
how can i be so absentminded and not brag about the fact that i've seen beach house live? also, i saw stone temple pilots and suede in two weeks in a row. natural highs are surely one of the best things in life. during beach house's performance, i cried. twice. i was striving to hold back the tears but i had no idea how to do that upon seeing "zebra" and "norway" being performed in front of my eyes. both the atmospheric music and gut-wrenching lyric, not to mention the grand voice of victoria legrand, could be too much for one's heart. my feet were soaked from around 2 pm up to 11 pm thanks to the muddy ground. they came out looking paler than white when i finally took off my shoes.though i didn't plan it at first, i sort of hope this year will be the year of me seeing new places. i do know where i'll be spending my birthday later, a country i've never set foot in. so, yay for that. well, it is more than seven months away, but one can prepare, no? before that, i am hoping my plan to let the child in me have its way will be consummated. hint: disneyland. i have also grown restless with my trip plan to central java. it's been in the back of my mind since more than two years ago. i do prefer to go by train, but having a road trip also excites the hell out of me. i've been daydreaming about it (for instance, staying in amanjiwo. but with an exorbitant price list, of course it's bullshit for me, so i settle on 'just' having tea and sandwich. my friend saw paul mccartney during his visit there, how about that?), collecting articles and tips on it, looking at maps now and again, memorizing names and places, and so on. editing an article about solo and its mayor ends up with me yearning even more. what the mayor does, it brought me to tears. perhaps it's the effect of having a disappointing government for so long. i would be happy to print or send that article to anyone interested. or you could buy the magazine when it comes out. :)
i am in the middle of a tight deadline. and instead of working, i wrote this. but of course.
