Last night was the second time in the space of around a month that I have walked into a glass door without seeing it. I can’t explain how these things happen. I was at the Chicks Rock party and was not paying attention to where I was walking (because I was carrying a bucket of ice) and I collided cataclysmically with the closed sliding door that leads to the outside balcony.
I didn’t drop anything, and I didn’t hurt myself as I did the last time, but I think it’s moments like this that make me question my ability to function as a regular member of society. I didn’t plan to go out last night, I was going to stay home and consider the good and bad points of life as a whole, but it seems I am too weak to say “no”. I now hope to stay in for a very long time. I cannot be doing with the wasted Saturdays and Sundays that just drift by thanks to varying states of consciousness. More than ever I want to go to Japan, if only to hang out with the Gothloli girls.
Honestly, what am I still doing in Thailand? There’s some solace in the fact that I’ve been listening to really great music for the past few days. My playlist has been dominated by:
- Peter, Bjorn and John
- Brand New
- The Concretes
- The Shins
You must try and listen to some of these bands if you can. I’ve written them in order of preference. Bands such as these make me feel like I need to be somewhere else, somewhere without glass doors, and without girls to torment my fragile mind.
Here's a completely useless, but rather cute thing, courtesy of Last FM, that tells you what music I have been listening to recently.


OK, excuse my ignorance but who are the Gothloli Girls?

Guys are as equally good at causing pain and suffering..
Arhh, I see. I'm not so sure about the "lolita" aspect here but in general I reckon that Japanese girls are the coolest. Can't help but love 'em!
Oh wow. You listen to Brand New and The Shins? I love you. Not in that I-cant-live-without-you way or the you're-like-a-brother-to-me way, just in a you-listen-to-brand-new-and-the-shins way. 0:)
More than pondering why the door and the Girls are causing you pain, you must think about the fact that the door was already there, minding its own business. It's YOU who walked into it. Same with the Girls, it's YOUR thought about them that is causing you pain.
Okay…I think that's a little bit too much zen for Sunday morning. ;-D
But yeah. Ouch, dude!
