Musings of Alice

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

I'm currently being really nostalgic, listening to IDLEWILD the remote part..."and even if the breath between us smells of alcohol, we'll call it confusion in the best way possible" its the CD I listened to so much during A levels I can remember more about my past when I listen to it! It's taking me back to a whole other me... normally I'd love that, but I'm reminded of a strange awkward version of myself (I was still painfully self conscious and embarrassing when everyone was over that phase a few years before!) but I am always comforted by this music. At least I can see how much I've changed... Hey I'm not feeling like pond scum any more! Don't you love it when music has the power to turn your day around?!

I've also been wandering around in my usual state of awe at this time of year. I love Autumn so much, even though its bloody cold now and no one seems to know what they should wear out so theres a strange mixture of people in anoraks walking next to people in Tshirts (crazy fools!). Anyway, as a result I managed to collect some pictures together which have been compiled with the aid of my mobile phone... I'm one of those people who do the thing they do in phone adverts... I'll be walking along, see something worth photographing, and very smoothly take my phone from my pocket, take a photo, and pop it back in my pocket. I feel kind of sophisticated doing that... it's really tragic... but the results are cool... Que this Autumn documented in pictorial form:

River Foss, crossing the bridge... Have always meant to get a pic of this and now I have...












and a tree on the way to work (my way to work, not the tree's) I was late that morning because of this picture... every other excuse for being late has no evidence... sadly...



















Now blogger is playing hovoc with my pictures... more pictures will follow in another post...if i can get it to work...

More anon dear folk.

I'm not a huge autumn fan... the days get too fricking short, it's depressing walking home in the dark...

It's still autumn where you are? You lucky dogs. (Bring out the whining Canadian part of me) It was -20 celcius today. We've had snow since Oct 21. I want to be in England. I REALLY do.

On the other hand, I've only ever been there in the summer, so maybe I don't know what I'm saying. Maybe I'd rub my body in deep heat and get up against the radiator to try and keep alive. I'll never know.

But I know what you mean about songs taking you back. Led Zeppelin I and II make me 13 again. Especially when combined with watermelon lip smackers.

Typical Canadian, even the english don't want to be in england. Thats why we're all emigrating. The chinese are moving to britain, the brits are moving to canada and polish dont give a toss unless theres a job involved.
