they say an idle mind is a devil's workshop. either my mind isn't idle enough after sitting around the whole day waiting for the grass to grow, or the workshop needs more gear... cos the devil sure ain't knockin over here.

the problem with keeping your options open is that you end up with so many options that you don't know what to do with them. should i go back to school? get a job? start a business? make a kid? what? i could sit on it for a bit longer but i'm afraid the fox of grandfather time will get to me before i decide which climb to seek refuge in.

a friend who reads this blog once said to me that she liked it because it wasn't as self-indulgent as blogs are known to be. Unfortunately, dear C, i have to disappoint you because i'm feeling a tad bit sorry for myself despite knowing that having all this time on my hands is a luxury many wish they could afford. hence, yes, it is a happy problem, i know. but i'm just not having any FUN.

in the past 24 hours i've watched The Family Stone, Match Point, and the entire first season of Grey's Anatomy, plus ALL the bonus features. i've smoked a pack of cigarettes and am now watching, though i admit distractedly, Casanova. It's not very good. but then again, i don't paint a pretty picture myself.

I have also received an email from a certain Matt Damon, on behalf of the ONE campaign, on poverty and Aids, and read the entire pitch. but i confess i am uninspired. perhaps i will be later.

if the devil knocks.
