… but you’re not — here, i mean. so, maybe it’s kinda weird that i’m posting this, yeah?

ugh, here i am again, having a conversation with myself. whatever. anyway, let’s just get on with the music for tonight. heard this on today’s episode of american idol (katelyn epperly) but found this waaaay better (original) live performance by carole king herself.

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

Oh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

Oh, darling, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something that I just can’t tame
I’ve just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down

If some one loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that’s enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, “My flower’s up there somewhere. . . .” But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it’s as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn’t important?

Ewww.

Okay so whatever, I’m still a Scrooge but what the heck, just let it go. It’s allowed to be sappy once in a while, okay?

****

Wow, 2 entries in a span of 2 days. That’s more than what I’ve coughed up the whole of January. Hah.

****

I’m currently filing this under the Fiction category haha. Go figure.

I just realized it’s only a matter of — OH MY GOD — 2 days before Christmas and what the heck we still have work til the 26th (yes, they don’t celebrate Christmas here, but whatever, we’ve known that since the beginning of time so let’s move on, get it over and done with)!

So anyway, here’s my version of the Grinchy Kilcher for 2009. I managed to add some sort of festiveness (if there is even such a word) by donning on my favorite hat (of the moment) — Meemax’s gift jester hat from Veeeeeghuzzzz.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, EVERYALL!

From last year:

There is melancholy in change.
But change is necessary and inevitable.

Whatever.

* That *our* vacation leave in December (and January) gets approved already (I have to pay about a hundred thousand yen by 11/13 you see).

* That my throat will stop being so problematic.

* That I will sleep well soon (that means no more scenes from Suicide Club in my head in the middle of the night).

* That Skins will soon air (haha, I don’t even know if they’re done filming, probably not yet).

* That people will stop attacking me in Castle Age. (-_-#)

* That Meemax remembers this THING for me \(^_^)/.

* That the nice things in my life right now will never ever end.

In a desperate attempt to breathe life back into this blog, I must publish the following nonsense:

* It’s really annoying, how I manage to get up at eleven in the morning during the weekend no matter how late I slept the previous night. I used to be able to sleep up to 3pm. Is this what growing older’s about?

* The Yokohama Oktoberfest was a blast. Too bad we got there like 8 frikking 15 and the whole thing will close at 9pm. What on earth are you doing hosting an Oktoberfest that closes at 9pm?!

* So, see I got myself a new theme. And it was just because I was almost bored to tears so the most logical step would be to redesign the site’s appearance yet again.

* I wanna go somewhere and snap photos because srsly, I haven’t gone to anywhere since I came back from the Singapore – Thailand trip and I seriously need to put updates on my Flickr stream that doesn’t involve me. Maybe Hakone in November? All those pretty pretty colors — man, they just kill me, every frikkin’ year.

* I wonder, will I be able to see the 12-24mm Tokina that I bought tomorrow? *Makes parinig at Meemax and Moogs* :P

* You are a believer, I am not — Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Believer.

Didn’t think you would trust me.
Thought you would see what I see.
This days have been good for me too,
But I can’t stay.
You know why.
Didn’t want this to end like this.
Thought I might could convert.
These nights have been sad for me too,
But I don’t pray.
You know why.

You are a believer,
I am not.

Didn’t think I could ever love,
So I had to destroy it all.
But you will do find someone new,
When I am gone.
You know why.

You are a believer,
I am not.

… to make me dream of you.
